Translation: We don't know how to create new IP, and nostalgiabait sells.

Translation: QUIT HAVING FUN!!

Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.

[–] Exeous 2 points 2 months ago

Yes! I see naughty dog make new thing. Capcom can try, may be good, may be bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

But Okami... 😥

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Didn't they just announce an Okami sequel the other day?

I hope that means an Onimusha sequel is also on the way. That was the best Resident Evil clone other than Dino Crisis I ever played. I still have the stupid katana controller somewhere. 🤣

[–] Uruanna 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, first line

Capcom has said it’s working on “re-activating dormant IPs” following the announcements of Onimusha and Okami sequels this week.

Both teased at the Game Award the other day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ah fuck yeah 😃

Never played Dino crisis but I LOVE me some parasite eve.

Nothing against Dino crisis, just never got to play it, and definitely would take the opportunity.

Super pumped for onimusha reboot, would love to see modernization of Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, And do something interesting with megaman - like Devil may cry meets megaman.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Parasite Eve was Square, mind you, back when they were still called Squaresoft.

[–] ChocoboRocket 1 points 2 months ago

That's totally right!

Iirc the games had very similar mechanics and look to them, forgot the thread was about Capcom 😅

“Why bother making new IPs when you’ll gladly slurp up recycled nostalgia for all eternity.”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

And yet we have whiny idiots saying copyright encourages artists to create new works. Why the fuck would it when they can just rehash the same shit over and over and over and continue making money on them?

That assumption is based on assuming that profits produce joy and passion in a project. Something which is blatantly false if you look at any of the largest, richest companies in the world.

Hoping for Breath of Fire, expecting... not Breath of Fire.

[–] MellowYellow13 2 points 2 months ago

Yes please especially Breath of Fire 3, huge part of my childhood and an absolute gem

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

1-4 were fantastic. Dragon Quarter, meh. Then I think there was a 6 that was some awful online only web/android game that didn't break 2 years of support (only released in Japan). This franchise badly needs a good story and direction to work again.

[–] Stern 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Dragon Quarter just felt, i dunno, weird. Like I see what they were trying to do, but they didn't just flub the landing, they broke one of their legs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Breath of Fire or GTFO

[–] rustyfish 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck me, I really want to play Dino Crisis once again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Just play it in Wine or Steam Proton as a non-steam game, it's a PC game after all.

[–] BroBot9000 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Emulators exist. You can play the game anytime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that a PC game? I don't think an Emulator is needed for that, you can run it on Wine, or Steam Proton as a non-steam game.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, it had a PC port. It also was ported from PS1 to Dreamcast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not certain if it holds up. I tried to replay RE 2 and the controls drove me nuts.

Funny enough, I was able to replay RE 4 (before the remake) and it was pretty good.

[–] Pooptimist 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Please power stone and project justice!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, good news, project justice and power stone 1 and 2 are on the next capcom fighting game collection (alongside some street fighter games and various enhancements) that should be out next year.

Don't know if you wanted completely new games, but I think that's still good news

[–] Pooptimist 2 points 2 months ago

That's great and much better than nothing! Thanks for the info!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You activated a core memory.

Used to host Power Stone 2 Dreamcast parties.

Project Justice... I loved every single character. Swimmer guy. Bat guy. Tennis preteen. Akira. Dom girl. Teacher who had enough of your shit. Batsu. Guy who did Guile moves. Sakura. I miss it.

[–] Pooptimist 1 points 2 months ago

Me too, I wish there was an anime or a Manga of project justice! I know there is one of power stone, but I'm not sure if I should revisit that one or if that better stays a memory

[–] steeznson 2 points 2 months ago

Kamiya going back to Capcom is huge news
