''So if Capcom kept listening to gamers and playing into their hands, we wouldn't have Dragon's Dogma, DmC, Strider, Lost Planet, Megaman Legends, Megaman Zero, etc.''
Playing into their hands? You make it sound as though gamers are some kind of evil cult trying to manipulate developers. Listening to gamers doesn't mean the same thing as only developing games people already wanted. I don't see why you think 'games like Dragon's Dogma and Lost Planet wouldn't have been made if Capcom listened to the fans'. You haven't given any arguments for that, I think.
As for DmC, for all we know it was their plan to develop DMC5 after DmC, if that's what the fans want. For all we know DmC would've been a spin-off. Just because they created DmC, that doesn't mean they weren't thinking about the fans.
Developers do some things of their own accord, which is nice. Sometimes, though, it really isn't. Most people didn't like DmC much, and many people don't even see it as a Devil May Cry. RE6 became completely action-focused rather than survival-focused, which contradicts the very nature of Resident Evil. Put bluntly, you could argue that RE6 wasn't even a Resident Evil game.
Capcom has made some huge mistakes, more than any other developer, really. Their business practices have been kinda crap sometimes too, what with all the on-disk DLC and whatever else they did.
Because all fans want are sequels to previous Capcom games. They simply do not know what Capcom has in store for the future and therefore request the games that made them fans of Capcom. Huh? What? No ****.
Don't respond to me after this, but you are one of the few people who think everyone has the same opinion as YOU. I'm not dealing with your ****, you remind of that "Lord Dante" guy and I'm not dealing with it again. What you've witnessed is not what Capcom is seeing. Which is why DmC Remaster is on it's ******* way!
Silly *** opinion is a silly *** opinion.
It's come to my attention that some of you seem to notice the sheer amount of fan service in my first post. It's fine though, let me follow your opinions on Capcom.
Capcom has been making crappy games right or...so you say. Ok, that's fine, Capcom hasn't made your day. Please pay attention to that last sentence, it has YOUR in it.
I am simply someone who isn't jumping down Capcom's throat about my favorite games not being re-released or getting a sequel. Remember that.
So this talk of MN9 is from the guy who came from Capcom and practically made Megaman. Well, that's great right? Wanna know what else could be going on? Capcom allowing this man to make a game so similar to Megaman without any lawsuits. In other words, if you haven't noticed, The Evil Within is made by people who've helped make RE popular.
Fans soaked in the fact that someone who was apart of something legendary is guaranteed awesome. Charisma. This is what people are going off of when it comes to gaming. You think these games are similar to RE and Megaman because of the creator's heard your cries? NO! This is still a Capcom crafted game and all you see is a name drop. Just like Zack Snyder or Christopher Nolan. The problem is, these games can suck, and my opinion on MN9 right now is that it will be a dud. It's not what I want, it's so simple and basic for a game with a huge backing.
Let me put it like this. If I ran a company and knew things weren't too good with my brand name, but know that others in my camp have a good reputation. I'd use their names to push my games out and take my company's name out of the credits to warrant more attention.
If you'd pay attention to the amount of time it takes to develop a game and the news regarding the "fact" that one of my employees "left" you'd notice something quite strange. A few years of development and here you go fans, Resident Evil without Resident Evil or Capcom behind it.
Games are not easy to make without a huge budget anymore and therefore I'd send out the most requested of my staff, the most famed. In this case, it's the creator of Megaman. I'd have a kickstarter set up and have the fans shift their funds into my game and I'd be able to keep my funds until I have to distribute copies of the new Megaman game. Saving money is what it's all about.
There, that's as far as I'm going to be able to get today, I got way too many gifts to give out.
Peace.
