Capcom Needs To Focus On New Games Rather Than Remakes

From Prophet of AI


Given the popularity of dinosaurs lately, with the Jurassic Park franchise fully revived in film, dinosaurs are all the rage in the entertainment industry currently. The original Dino Crisis sold an impressive 2.4 million copies on the original PlayStation, and it would appear to be a ripe time to revive the Dino Crisis franch


Though the Lost Planet series never really solidified the much needed success of many of Capcom's other franchises, the first Lost Planet is regarded by many of its fans as the best in terms of overall story. The Lost Planet series has always been known for its high difficulty and challenge, and timing-based gameplay in learning the movement patterns and attack rhythms of each enemy, even before the term of Souls-like games were coi


Yet again, however, it's not a game that is likely to set the pulse of any players racing, and gamers could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the title could fall flat upon release. If Capcom is to keep its position in the industry, then a level of innovation needs to be maintained. Perhaps the only sure-fire way to do this is to break this emphasis on remakes and spin-offs, particularly if brand new titles continue to fail to live up to expectati


The underwater city of Rapture is such an iconic setting that it's hard to imagine BioShock being set anywhere else. However, original plans for the game had it set on a space station infested with mutated monsters, with players sent to rescue someone from a c

Personality-wise, Capcom did introduce some slight changes to Jill Valentine in the upcoming remake. In previous trailers, gameplay previews, and the RE 3 playable demo , it is evident that Capcom has increased Jill's badass traits as compared to previous Resident Evil games. In the opening sequence of the demo alone, we saw Jill make sarcastic comments during a conversation with Carlos Oliveria and Mikhail Viktor. Of course, looking at it closely, the spirit of the scene remains consistent with that of the original. The U.B.C.S. asked to partner with Jill, she was reluctant at first, but she agreed anyway knowing that it would increase the chances of her survi


Apart from looking amazing it also contributes to the game by boosting all kinds of stats including critical damage, a lot of assassin damage, and damage with swords. It's the ideal armor to wear in order to become a true unstoppable assas


Given the recent popularity in Souls-like action-Adventure Game Walkthrough games based in mythological or historical East Asian settings, such as Nioh, Sekiro and the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima , a remake of Onimusha could be a smart move by Capcom. It may already be testing the waters, given that Capcom filed for new Onimusha trademarks in 2018, and a remastered version, Onimusha: Warlords Remastered , was released last y


Hot off the heels of its Donkey Kong Country successes, Rare had quickly become one of Nintendo's most important partners in the industry. The studio was then entrusted with creating a game based on the James Bond film GoldenEye 007 , and before it became one of the most critically-acclaimed FPS games of all time, it went through a couple of other iterati

The Assassin's Creed franchise is not what it was when it started, but it still managed to deliver its coolest-looking armor set with the DLC The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium for Odyssey . Bringing a sci-fi style to Ancient Greece was a massive success. This armor inspired and forged by the Isu completed one of the best if not the best DLC of the Assassin's Creed s


Of course, some may argue that Carlos and Mikhail are mere mercenaries of Umbrella and are not responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak. While that argument is valid, it is worth pointing out that in today's Jill Valentine-centered trailer , it was revealed that Jill herself realized this later in the game, and even started to apologize to Carlos. The trailer also showed how Jill and Carlos's relationship improved, and how they started to rely on each other to survive the outbreak. This goes to show that after realizing that Carlos was not deeply involved with Umbrella, Jill started treating him like a partner, showing that her sarcastic remarks earlier in the game were not made for the sake of appearing mean-spiri


It could be said about many of the armor sets on the list that the suit itself is the hero's greatest weapon. However, in the case of Vanquish , the sentiment is a literal one. Instead of building futuristic guns, DARPA invested in the Augmented Reaction Suit (ARS) to turn an everyday soldier into a walking t


However, with the popular recent releases of Dragon Quest 11, Persona 5, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Octopath Traveler and other JRPG classics such as Final Fantasy 7, Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana obtaining contemporary remakes, it may be a ripe moment worth capitalizing upon for Capcom to stake its claim to a portion of the revived JRPG market in North Amer
