Capcom Only Has 152 Million In the Bank, How Screwed Are They?

[@jediaray8847]

I'm glad they recovered and are even thriving now

[@cammglo]

just do this capcom 1) stop all the dlc bullshit 2) sega vs capcom 3) release all the megaman games that you canceled 4) stop making 2000 versions of street fighter 4 and make street fighter 5 for ps4 5) rehire everyone that left

[@dantenage9687]

sega vs capcom? really?

[@UpNorthGameReviews]

" stop making 2000 versions of street fighter 4 and make street fighter 5 for ps4" Other platforms exist, moron.

[@cammglo]

[@TheBertoSan]

[@UpNorthGameReviews]

TheBertoSan Shut up, moron. It's people like you that make sure gamers are mocked for yet another year by the masses.

[@BeatmasterAC]

can't they just go bankrupt and shut down? There is almost no reason that Capcom is still around. -They fucked up Street Fighter by turning it to Street Milk the customer every 6 months with a full price DLC Fighter -They fucked up Marvel vs. by turning it to Marvel vs. Pay the full price 4 the same game with 4 new Fighters and Balance updates -They fucked up RE by turning it to Resident Call of Dookey since RE5 -They fucked up Devil May Cry by turning it to Devil will laugh his ass off because Dante turned to an Emo Twilight Kid. -They fucked up Mega Man by cancelling the games and ruined the Franchise -They fucked up Chaos Legion by not making a Sequel The only good thing they made recently was Monster Hunter 3 but how many chances are there that they will fuck up the upcoming Monster Hunter 4? Screw you Capcom. Get out of this Business and take Ubisoft and EA with you.

[@Eddiexx4]

I agree with everything except the Devil May Cry thing you mentioned. That's a retarded reason for not liking the game. It was a good game, who the fuck cares if he changed looks. If you didn't think Dante looked emo since the BEGINNING, you're lying to yourself, or you're just a blind tool.

[@Tulkeleth]

Eddiexx4 dante was waaaaaaay far from being emo and still kind of is the original dante was funny making jokes and stuff really i know no emo that's allways with a smile on his face and makes jokes and the new dante makes me think more of a Punk than a Emo he is just waaaaaay too arrogant and overall every character on the new DMC is a big "meh"

[@dra6o0n]

***** French people are very sensitive to how they spend their money.

[@Eddiexx4]

Ninjistic Now that's a valid reason I can agree with.

[@Axitros]

Honestly If that happens I will be disappointed. While yes, they have fucked up with Street Fighter and Resident Evil, its not all lost. The monster hunter franchise is amazing and if you would give it a chance(don't kill me for this) The new DMC is actually a good game. It might be because I'm a monster hunter fanboy and because DMC: Devil may cry was the first DMC I played, but I stile have hope in that Capcom can in some way repent.

[@justus4justice]

I don't miss Resident Evil. ZombiU basically took them to school when it comes to actual survival horror. Mega Man and Street Fight definitely deserve better treatment, though.

[@jamesemory8781]

ZombiU most certainly did take them to school. I'm glad to see someone else share that sentiment.

[@TomboyGamerGal]

What a goddamn shame that they're near bankruptcy. Hell 3 months ago when I went to Barnes and Noble bookstore, I saw a big book on Capcom celebrating 30 years for their company by showing characters that Capcom created. They got the nerve to publish that book.

[@ChrisDMReloaded]

If they continue like this , they will go bankrupt

[@tristanmagni9883]

[@JotaroPowered]

Guys it's time for Capcom to go, they can't fix their mistakes, they can't hide it, they have no clue what gamers want, they are out of touch with the consumer. Nintendo should buy off Megaman, Ghost and Goblins, Devil May Cry and Phoniex Wright, Sony should buy off Resident evil, and Microsoft should buy off dead rising. Guys I know we are scared to say it, but it's time for Capcom to go.

[@Darkwolf1730]

I disagree, Devil May cry was made for the ps2 as an exclusive at the time, it should probably go back to Sony

[@JotaroPowered]

Darkwolf1730 Fair enough.

[@CybernatonEvolution]

Darkwolf1730 Too bad that the top Hack and Slash developers/directors are working for Nintendo now--Bayonetta. I personally want to see Itsuno develop DMC 5, not platinum. The latter, however, is the second best option.

[@Darkwolf1730]

Akai sora Yeah but i feel that the bayonetta 2 will not make as much profit, if it was on consoles, it would have likely been more successful. Devil may cry really does need a 5th game and should be treated with care by a good developer and i agree that they soul bring back itsuno, I also really hope they don't abandon the original Devil May cry series for the Dmc Reboot.

[@CybernatonEvolution]

Yep. Bayonetta should have been multiple platform, but it was more of bayo2 on WIIU or no bayo2 at all; no one wanted to fund/publish it. That aside, I want to see new stuff in bayonetta and the original game had some problems which I hope P* will fix. As for DMC, Itsuno already said he wants to develop DMC5 for new gen. The problem is, Capcom is in a bad financial position and it is a stupid company led by blind businessmen. I think that Capcom WILL be forced to develop DMC5 because it is nearly guaranteed sales, thus Capcom will steadily get their revenues back. What really happened is: Capcom got huge revenues from RE4/5, SF4, DMC4 and other games, and it tried to get "CoD sales" and took too many risks--they didn't pay off. The previous is the reason behind reboots and outsourcing--cutting costs and appealing to a larger audience. In the end, fuck capcom and hopefully they will recover; I do want them to stay afloat and I don't want them to go bankrupt, contrary to some angry fans/customers.

[@roundhouse283]

Three things capcom should do. 1- license off a few of their IPs bring in some money. 2- restructure and make the company lane. Get rid of the bad management is causing them to lose talent. 3 - they should listen to their customers to see what they want, then they should go out and make that game

[@comgeturs]

You're hired.

[@roundhouse283]

[@AcroxShadow]

[@Bhuv-]

[@roundhouse283]

:D I don't know what to say, I think i need a new hat. My head just got bigger . Thanks, everybody is smart :)

[@NorthernWind0]

Capcom has the easiest out of all time. If I was in the office, the first thing I would do is cut an exclusive deal with Nintendo. Megaman Legends III on the Wii-U, designed to make full use of the gamepad for targetting and puzzles, make it the Legend of Zelda of the Megaman series (which is kinda what Legends is anyway) and make Nintendo pay for the exclusivity. They need a system seller, Capcom needs a hit game. It's a win-win.

[@HUNT3R737]

Nintendo and Capcom could just merge

[@JuwanBuchanan]

Bad idea I do not want to play a Mario game with bullshit dlc in and nobody wants it too capcom would bankrupt Nintendo

[@NorthernWind0]

Divine/Deathray This, though I think Nintendo would keep Capcom in check.

[@SlowAndSteady2]

Northern Wind Think again. Stupidity is contagious, and Nintendo isn't very good at marketing.

[@terrorchan8088]

They don't really need a system seller anymore considering all the new Wii U titles coming out soon.

[@nickolasecker9596]

I hate modern gaming so fucking much. It's all FPS and shovelware, or clones of Assasins Creed, Gears of War, or CoD. Every now and then a unique game comes along that entertains me but I cannot stand how the game industry has become a giant cash grab. it also really sucks to see these steady decline of developers like Capcom, Konami, Sega and even Square to a certain extent, it's happened over the last decade but it's become more and more apparent that most of these companies are mere shells of their former selves and can't live up to the standards we all once held them to. This is probably because key staff and developers have slowly left these companies, for example Yuji Naka and Yu Suzuki left Sega, those two guys were like the Miyamoto and Yokoi of Sega, after their departures Sega's began to free fall, Konami no longer has Kojima or Iga, I don't really know too many other famed developers there but I think the minds behind Silent Hill are gone as well, and Capcom, while they have fared slightly better in terms of consistency, still have yet to put out games that are anywhere near as good as what they were putting out 10-30 years ago, their fighting games have especially been a let down, Street Fighter 4 and 5 were nowhere near as good as SF II, 3rd strike or Alpha 3, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 was a complete let down and didn't offer near the content of MvC 2. The Resident Evil series has on the downward spiral since Resident Evil 5 and Capcom obviously doesn't care too much for Mega Man. This is what you get when you consistently put out mediocre products and let down your loyal fan base.

[@SilverHunterN]

Thats why spiritual successors have been made recently. Azure striker gunvolt, yooka laylee, bloodstained, the evil within (awesome survival horror game). Yep, I don't need capcom or konami at this point.

[@SilverHunterN]

***** Isn't minecraft on wii U? Why is it on wii U when its now owned by microsoft? Unless that was before the IP was bought. Just asking.

I would release a new Resident evil game based on survival horror, I would continue at the point of Resident Evil Code Veronica X. I would use traditional characters with traditional enemies. Release the game as a downloadable game to cut costs and downloadable on all platforms. Then a few months down the line release the sequel. Hope that people give Resident Evil a chance again, for some traditional zombie fun.

[@adrianofthedead]

Just here to say Capcom had a complete turn around and are now one of the best companies around.

[@sinbreaker2885]

I really, really hope Capcom goes bankrupt and dies. They are ruining countless series... including Breath of Fire... heck especially Breath of Fire.

[@SilverHunterN]

Me too. I said 4 months ago on one of Blackbustershow's videos this: "I can't WAIT for them to go bankrupt too. They've ignored us far too many times to keep us as customers. Nintendo and Comcept are the ones that are cheering us up after the worst anniversary ever given to Mega man. Capcom doesn't deserve to be in business anymore after through messing up ALL their IPs for obvious reasons. In fact, I was waiting for them to go bankrupt since 2011." Now you may not be a megaman fan, but I'm also a big fan/supporter of DMC, breath of fire and RE too.

[@Wolfboy2012]

Oh how things have changed now Capcom has been redeeming themselves while Bethesda is going downhill

[@ShonenJapan]

17:35 OMG thank you for reminding me, Im gonna download the demo and see how it is

[@jasonwarnecke1560]

At this point they'd need to rebuild good will with fans. They got to do some fan service and make something people wont resist and do it at a decent budget. He forgot to mention that Resident Evil 6 cost a stupid amount of money to make, which is why it had to sell so many copies. Take a series people love but havent seen in awhile, like Breath of Fire or Mega Man, and do something big with it. Dont worry about anything stupid, like deadlines or dlc or how to milk people for more money after release. Focus on making it the best game it can possibly be and then put it out and hope for the best.

[@ultragarrison]

They might not. Not after the success of Monster Hunter 4. I know Capcom has lost a lot of money but they will come back.

[@VariableArtist]

I wouldn't bet on that. Monster hunter is a little like the 2d mario. making improvements along the way. It can only go up for that one franchise, but capcom has butchered resident evil, megaman, and devil may cry. So i would take that with a grain of salt. they need to rebuild their reputation back if people are going to care.

[@SilverHunterN]

They've failed to sell 10 times and succeeded by 1. They are at -9 right now. Capcom is going to need to make that kind of success 9 more times to get out of almost dead state. And I can almost guarantee you that won't happen since most customers swore off they are never getting capcom games again.

[@VariableArtist]

wow i did not think of that. Do you think its possible to resurrect their old franchises.

[@SilverHunterN]

myideas12 There is a way. There tactics. (1) As people have said here, make something like MM legends 3 an exclusive to nintendo systems (Wii U, 3DS) and Nintendo publishes it and pays for the advertisement. Nintendo gets a share of the income since they have a hand in making it. It will stop the capcom boycotters from boycotting capcom and Nintendo will have another good title on their system. I read that according to Keiji Inafune who used to work at capcom "Legends 3 would take $15 million to make", which is affordable. Do the same with lots of other old IPs. Both capcom and nintendo would win in this scenario. (2) Plain and simply LISTEN to the fans/consumers and make the games they WANT. Exactly what Alpha just said! (3) Any other sensible idea anyone else here can say. Unfortunately, capcom won't do either because they officially stated they are doing more dlc and mobile phone games. Just wow, they are going to go bankrupt...

[@juggos205622]

Question: Is Capcom still alive at this point? I'm just wondering because Megaman was finally introduced to SSB (God, I really hope they give SSB4 a subtitle) 3:49 - Look at this in a different way - Do you really want another Megaman game released without the creator being involved? From Capcom? 9:40 - (Adds Resident Evil to list of "Franchises Ruined by handing to unnamed devs and due to revamps in concept") 10:31 - I'll thank you AOS, on behalf of "those people" for informing them about RE:R. At this point, I would like to compare Capcom to GameStop, just for comparison's sake. A big, if not the only, reason that GS isn't in the same boat as CC is because GS offers things that only a chain of video game stores can offer, and I'm assuming in many marketplaces, the only places you can buy your games are at your GS, online or secondhand locally. Last comment: Whether through a time capsule, or AOS's family, the video game "ark of the covenant" should live on after this generation of society.

[@RyuTora2808]

If I was in charge of Capcom, the first thing I'd do is take a look at the franchises that fans want to see MORE of. Then, I'd pick the top three, get my best remaining dev teams together, and have them make kick-ass, classic-material games in those franchises. Those games would be multi-platform, of course, and to drum up some more fan hype, I'd have a fan art contest for each game in each major market with the grand prize consisting of a copy of the new game, a special edition cloth poster, a large plush of the game's main character/most popular character, and one or two few other goodies depending on the franchise itself (runners up would get lesser, but still cool, prize packages). After that gets those coffers a little fuller, I'd have the next most wanted franchises get some new games too, and get some folks working on some brand new original titles. Maybe license out the T.V. or film rights to a franchise or two to get some shows, OVA's, and movies going. And, of course, do plenty of market research to see what the fans want to see next. It did wonders for Lego...and now everything is awesome...😜

[@starwarsmanofaction]

RyuTora2808 No DLC bullshit!?! Awesome!! No, seriously those are some great ideas to get Capcom back on its feet!

[@angellara7040]

[@Funkermonsterco]

Capcom should just do what they can before its too late, make fans happy and not go bankrupt like THQ. They've been doing bullshit things lately and were arrogant, but I think its time to forgive them and support them again, even if its only a small amount of forgiveness. Hire all those 100s of people you claimed you would (including the ones you laid off) and listen to fans and give them what they want... unless they're the assholes who betrayed you and want you to shut your doors. I don't want them to die, I just want them to return to their Golden Age, especially their fighting games (Capcom makes the best fighting games IMO). But if your death can't prevented, at least make one last game we desire before that happens: Darkstalkers/Vampire 4, make it happen please.

[@Tjracerz]

I know what I meant was survival horror needs to be more of the focus but done on a lower budget unlike what they did previously because if the next re game does come out and is actually good and sells well but still under performs don't want a repeat of tomb raider

[@shaunacena]

I am talking about an original Mario title (not the one that is out, no matter how fun it is), a new Legend of Zelda, the new Donkey Kong, a new Metroid title. They needed all their flagship IPs to have their own games out before holiday 2013, let alone 2014.

13:20 No dude, you're no chucklehead. You're a gaming genius!

[@dantedarkies192]

I would go back to my gaming roots. Why I started making games, what brought me to love them, make them, sell them, and bring joy to others with them

[@bneyens]

13:57 - Invalid conclusion. I have an MBA in Finance. From an accounting standpoint you can't judge a company solely by how much money they have on the books. Businesses exist to grow and if you have too much cash it is seen as a negative because the company isn't investing. If you aren't investing, you aren't growing. Too little cash is obviously bad because you need to cover operating expenses. But you would also need to look at their debt, expenses, sales, etc to draw that conclusion

[@bjnboy]

From what I am told by an insider, Capcom has a board of directors that is nearly purely made up of shareholders after the company was saved from going bankrupt around about the time after Resident Evil (remake) and Resident Evil 0 were released on GameCube. Microsoft had been constantly trying to purchase the company and Capcom kept rejecting the offer at the thought of being owned by a Western company lead.

[@TheDonta99]

Damn I just wanted a new Onimusha game..:'(

[@TheDonta99]

If I was Capcom I would bring at least five gamers in like yourself and we would deliberate on what needs to change starting today and go forward with listening to the fans cuz I think that's probably what their biggest problem is they stop listening to their fans.

[@robzsarmy5471]

Dont remind me of Onimusha god fucking dammit... :C

[@marvelbrothers]

I'm actually one of those people who AlphaOmegaSin is talking about. I completely disregarded the Resident Evil Franchise after 6. So to actually hear Revelations was good? Quite surprised. CAPCOM are dead as a company now, it's sad to hear. Such a once great company...

[@BurnedPigeon]

I miss the times where big game companies would create five minute demos on their one-shot upcoming games to come; to see what would guide them, and what would lead them to success. To be honest, it's a great tactic for profit. Though short in gaming experience, it MIGHT follow up with a long-term run based on their audience's feedback. What happened to those "times?"

[@MrMovieMike1]

Are you going to be playing resident evil 3 nemesis soon? :-)

[@Morpheel4ever]

If they do go under, I wonder if their IP's will be relinquished to other companies or if they'll go down with the ship so to speak.

[@JamesTheDominator]

They'll sell the rights

[@mouadaljabri8371]

Did Capcom make Shadow of Rome on the PS2?

[@stainshield]

That as well as making action figures of their characters, like when Marvel VS. Capcom 3 came out they could of had Hasbro make action figures of their characters for both fans who want to collect those items and for little kids too. Plus I do agree with what you say about them going back to their roots for diehard loyal fans.

[@SirChadofWick]

The third franchise and last they should focus on is one that they haven't touched in a long time but people are hungry for. Most likely final fight. And darkstalkers even. Especially since they have a fighting engine ready to go like you mentioned.

[@SoraAmm]

why dont they make "CAPCOM crossover"??? all capcom characters in 1 game Example: i play using mega man, then, after i win a level or 2, i meat another capcom character and he/she get to be my party member in the story!! or the character could be the boss i fight against and when i defeat him/her they get to join my adventure, just a game similar to "SpongeBob SquarePants Featuring Nicktoons: Globs of Doom"

[@nfzeta007]

Basically in a time like this if i was to at least give some advice i would say bank on Nintendo console a bit (with timed exclusives IF u can't afford to port on more systems). Of course i'm talking about megaman and Breath of Fire, for obvious reasons, we know nintendo gamers are usually loyal gamers, especially to the older franchises and definitely RPGs like breath of fire, it would be a fairly safe bet as long as they do their part and make a good game. (when sales pick up with inc games)

[@OmegaWarrior]

Microsoft and Sony both occasionally will match a project's development budget (essentially paying for the game to be made) in exchange for 1 year of exclusivity. Also, Capcom won't go bankrupt just because they run out of money; They'll go bankrupt when they're $500M in debt and they can't get any more credit. For the time being, they're not in much trouble if they don't have any debt.

[@HarryLaBrea]

Dude, I totally agree with you.... now if I was working for capcom, I would for starters bring back an updated franchise games like darkstalkers, Dino crisis and rival schools. All were classics in my eyes. Hell, let us even go to a modified version tech romancer, star gladiator and all other games they been sleeping on. But to clean up there act with the majors, make street fighter with each and every character that was in the series and pull a Namco and have guest fighters from other companies like SNK. I would love to see Terry Bogard and team fatal fury to pop up and make some noise for ryu and the gang. Also fix marvel vs capcom by putting every character from part 2 in the game. But more importantly they had galactus as the final boss which was cool, but the sub-boss would have been better if he had sliver surfer backing him up rather than silver clones of everyone in the game. But that's just me and my wishful thinkin.

[@bakerXderek]

Holy shit I had that same shirt back in high school

[@Patkillskenny]

phoenix wright vs prof layton is owned by lv 5 and i heard level 5 is going to release it

[@hbk2221]

Capcom should merge with Jump Sq. Magazine. Capcom already has a lot to do with Rosario Vampire, as well as them competing with Namco Bandai having Weekly Shonen Jump, Banpresto, etc. Imagine Capcom making a Shiki or a Claymore game. That would be sick.

[@Ragingspoon]

I just think they should budget accordingly especially as they have a lot of retro IP that would make money if they did an updated version. Look at all their fighters they could make a new Darkstalkers for 5 million easy it dosent need state of the art graphics just solid gameplay and to look decent Skullgirls did it with a small team so can Capcom ,the new KI team isnt massive but I guess these games wont make mega bucks either it seems they want it all or not at all, look where thats got them.

[@LinkMarioSamus]

On that part about key Capcom staff members drawing the short stick despite being responsible for awesome games, it definitely hit me when I finished replaying Resident Evil 4 a few months ago. The director's reward for creating what's (rightfully) oft-considered to be one of the greatest games of all time is to have a crapload of trouble finding a company to stay at and not have a single successful game to his name since then, regardless of whatever critical acclaim and cult fanbases God Hand, Vanquish, and Shadows of the Damned may have.

[@Shiningforceking]

I agree with you, and that's what i did, i got the system for it, Capcom Said it would come out on ps3, then afters many months they cancelled Ps3's MH3 launch. but by then i had bought my ps3. A years after they made a Ps3 version .. but only for the east. How to add salt to the injury.

[@Smashlilman]

Pretty much. Look at what happened when Steve Jobs, inventor of the Apple 1, was fired and John Sculley, Apple CEO, ran the company into the ground. Then look at what happened to Apple when Steve Jobs came back and took over as CEO. Steve Jobs was a product designer and creator. He understood how the product worked and how it was used from the consumers point of view. That gave him a better insight into how to please apple consumers and grow the company.

[@jcaesar19871]

Lost Planet 2 was fun as hell. Lost Planet 3 however.......... And I have played Remember Me. I thought it was neat. I don't know if I would recommend it to someone, but I would tell them to check it out.

[@sparkshadowtiger]

Operation raccoon city was the last game ive bought. Was really disappointed with it because it didnt have that many levels Would it kill capcom to make a resident evil game to have co op mode offline also

[@PartyUpLive]

On the topic of Street Fighter, I would have liked if they would have done what NetherRealm Studios did with Mortal Kombat 9. It looks like they took their time and made a great sequel to a classic fighter. And they didn't try to milk it with Mortal Kombat 9: Turbo/Super/Champion/Arcade Edition. They just made a great fighter.

[@Vyperus69]

I would go back to square 1, and create a game that is a) playable, b) has a decent story c) has as many bugs in it fixed as possible before it is released, d) actually makes sense when placed into the genre of game it claims to be and e) have those pretty graphics that modern day gamers that have never seen or played a game prior to the Playstation X's (later remodelled and re-released as the PS One) release expects a game to be all about... if that doesnt fix the problem then they are FUBAR'd

[@intergalacticchicano]

They can start by doing Darkstalkers 4 Street fighter 4 style. Do a Megaman X and Meganman games respectably. For those forgotten game franchises such as Plasma Sword/Star Gladiator, Rival Schools, Street Fighter Alpha, TechRomancer, Power Stone either do a remake or at least HD version I sure as hell would buy them.
