Let's Save Capcom: Make a Case for their games - Page 3

So, i just heard that Capcom's Profits are down 90% for April to June quarter.

That's pretty harsh for a Company that sells some of the leading brands on the market. Sure, nothing they can't get around with the next Street Fighter or Megaman Game...

But i wanted to make a case for the forgotten IP's... I mean, today, all companies seem to be driving the same direction with their games and re-using the same Franchises and characters. I'm not even talking about the over saturation of Zombies and World War 2 and Nazis... heck, Even Harry Potter went "Gears"!

When was the last time a big company pitched a new concept instead of a new feature for an old idea? Sure, safe bets and brand name equals money... can't deny a company it's right to make profit... but they are not.

So, i bring 3 examples of how Capcom could be Making money right now.

1- New Rival Schools / Project Justice game.

Really. I'm yet to see someone who doesn't think this is a good idea. People want it. The Fighting games market is clogged with the same very few franchises being resold and nothing new (and good) has popped around in Ages. At least with Rival Schools you are bringing back that still has room to grow. A lot.

Plus, the game is just awesome, what the hell is wrong with you!? making me explain the obvious... sheesh.

2- New Breath of Fire.

Rght up to Breath of Fire 4, Capcom had one of the Best names in Classic RPG's with it's own Unique Twist, nice characters and storytelling. 5 (dragon Quarter) seems to have almost killed the whole franchise, because it wasn't very well praised and that was the last we heard of it.

Unlike several other genres, new Franchises try to pop on RPG ground every now and then. And there is always room for something like Breath of Fire. Specially if it kepts the same ideas it had going on for 3 and 4.

3- New Dino Crisis Game.

C'mon. You want to go Camp on me? You need a quick cash and you want to enjoy the fact that people will pay up for a Resident Evil clone where you are running from god damn dinosaurs... this -IS- the franchise waiting to come back.

So, yeah... Megaman, Viewtifull Joe, Street Fighter... all of those Sell. But what about a little change for once?
