Capcom wants new Devil May Cry and Lost Planet every 2.5 years

Japanese publisher Capcom says it aims to shorten the development cycles for its sequels, so that more games come out more often. Although it insists it's committed to new titles too.

'We want to reduce the time needed to develop major titles from the usual three-to-four years to only 2.5 years,' Capcom boss Kenzo Tsujimoto told investors.
'For DmC Devil May Cry, development will require five years due to the time needed to select development companies because of our decision to switch to external development,' he said. 'But our goal is to reduce the cycle to 2.5 years for subsequent titles in this series.'
Capcom is aiming for 2.5 years as standard for all its sequels, with Tsujimoto pointing out that it's been exactly that since the last Lost Planet, but that it's been 3.5 years since Resident Evil 5.
This isn't as nefarious as it may seem though and is more a reaction to criticism that Japanese developers take too long to make their games. For years many Japanese commentators have suggested that they've fallen behind the West in terms of technology largely because of outdated and long-winded development practises.
Whether that's true or not Capcom claim to be committed to more new original titles as well, not just sequels. According to website Siliconera the rest of Tsujimoto's speech involved him setting a target of 2022 for Capcom to become the biggest provider of digital content in the world.

He doesn't seem to have commented on Capcom's fetish for employing Western developers with terrible track records to make its sequels, but he did say that the company plans to hire 1,000 new employees over the next 10 years - on a steady 100 per year schedule.
Lost Planet 3, DmC Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil 6 are all due to be playable for the first time at E3 next month.

I thought the last time Capcom did that sort of thing with a Devil May Cry game we got Devil May Cry 2 and alot of people didn't like it. Yet, it's taken five-ish years for DmC and still some people hate it. Either way Capcom won't win.

Plus, surely it's better to wait for a brilliant game, than to have one every so often. Look at CoD... every year... and pretty much the same.

After all, isn't it quality, not quantity?

All I hope is if they do continue with the Devil May Cry series, it doesn't turn into the Final Fantasy ones...
 
to be fair, they said Devil may cry, not DmC2 specifically so it could be DMC5 or that just wishful thinking.

If their new rumored game that they are doing after DmC is DmC2, i see this to be more possible as they have their collaboration down to a science.
 
Devil May Cry XVIIILXLVIXXIIIXXVVVC!!!!!!!!!

Hmm...as long as it stays interesting and doesn't end up like Call of Duty or (gasp) Assassin's Creed...well the latter's story is interesting, but COME ON!
I'm neutral on this development cycle thing. It's good because we don't have to wait as long, but bad because it might just suck. Who knows? Demon Souls--(3 years)-->Dark Souls?
 
**** that, I want quality and quantity!!!!
I wouldnt give a **** if they made 20 devil may cry 3 clone, I would enjoy all of them!!!!!
now the only game in that style that i really enjoy is DMC 3 ninja gaiden 1 n 2 thats it!!!!! ****
 
I choose quality. I mean look at all the work being put into DmC. They're really working their asses off just to get this game to be just right. Going above the original but keeping constant to it is a hard thing to do. DmC, in gameplay, has already proven to be like this
DmC>>>DMC2 (more fester then 2 and more fluid)
DmC>>>DMC1 (Again, more fluid and artistic)
DmC slightly>>>DMC4 (Honestly better in fluid style IMO)
DmC=DMC3 (Kind of on the same level to me.)
 
Ok the only thing wrong
DMC3>>>DMC4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After rereading i saw you wrote the same
yeah DmC is definitaly promising
the gameplay is number 1 for those type of games, now lets see how long the game last
i think the game will be a lot of ****ing fun
what is for sure, it must be better than DMC 2 after all we have heard and seen about the game..
after all the biggest disappointment was Ninja Gaiden 3...even though i was excited about the game
 
The first time they pumped a sequel out within two years was DMC2. The second was DMC3. If the studio knows what it's doing, the time it takes to create a game doesn't matter.
