I tried DMCV on a Ryzen 7 5600X yesterday. It just used 6% of the entire CPU to run at 60+ fps. Warframe, a much less graphically intensive game used around 4% for 60-80 fps. Destiny 2 almost 20% CPU usage, and Red Dead Redemption 2 hovered around 25-30% usage for 60 fps. Each game at max settings, working in the background while I was downloading other games on Steam. RE Engine is extremely optimized.

[@mr.awesome6011]

I love when a company prioritizes their own engine and does well with it. Every other game just uses Unreal and understandably so but something about putting in that extra effort especially when they get it right is a commendable effort that few companies can claim.

[@Kogworks]

I think an important thing to keep in mind with products is that dev cycles for a project generally tend to be like a minimum 3 years from initial planning to final product. A new entry in an existing pipeline? You might be able to push it out in like 1~2 years, but anything new or decently sized is going to take like 3~5. Inafune basically got promoted to corporate management in 2006. Shit started hitting the fan about 2~3 years later and got increasingly worse. Even after he left in 2010, the last few projects he’d started up would have still been chugging along. Kind of how like Konami still pushed Metal Gear Survive after Kojima got kicked out. Any course correction that occurred within Capcom would have needed to happen AFTER Inafune’s last few projects wrapped up. And the efforts of any of said course correction would likely have taken about 5-ish years to bear fruit if at all. So we’re talking a time frame of about 5~10 years minimum after Inafune left the company in order for Capcom to get into shape. And it just so happens that RE7, the game that signaled Capcom’s rebirth, was in 2017.

[@demidevilqueen]

Not related specifically to your comment but it's refreshing reading a comment with some level of understanding of buisness/production.

So I appreciate you're measured take!

Feels so stark to see it all laid out like this, even if a part of me bristles at making it JUST one man's fault as such thinking often gets people to focus too much in one direction and possibly miss other factors that could also be a problem... but I can't really find anything to ARGUE about your take either.

[@darrylaz3570]

Agreed. I personally don't harbor as much intense hatred towards Inafune as most people do, but he did kickstart the push towards the Capcom Westernization era of 2005-2015 which in hindsight is a massive mistake on his part, one that forever stained his career. Sure there are some gold born from that era such as Dead Rising and Lost Planet but the meh outweighs the good. It isn't just him though, Ono was making one mistake after another for the Fighting Division of Capcom, and the top brass of Capcom expecting unrealistic sales from their games, it all combined into one big fiasco of mismanagement.

[@mustofaakmal7493]

​@@darrylaz3570 I don't think Ono is completely at fault during Street Fighter 5 development. Capcom is in VERY different place at that time. They even can barely make SF5 and that was with Sony's help

[@darrylaz3570]

@@Kogworks That is also true. Inafune always has been a man of ambition, being kept in check often by either limiting his scope either by hardware or budget, which resulted in some of his best games on the NSES/GBA/NDS. Basically, so long as he was kept in check of his ambitions (someone to tell him no we can't do this/that), he does the best he could through those limitations and we get some gold like MegaMan Legends. Once he was let loose and gain complete control, guess what happened? Mighty No 9 fiasco happened. Immediately after that though? His next project gets him in a smaller, more limited capacity with the Gunvolt series and it worked out very well.

Monster Hunter World is also the only game I know of that year, that did Gaming as a service well, they constantly updated the game, fixed issues, gave people an expansion that wasn't planned but because people wanted more of it, they did extremely well and is what probably why Capcom stepped up their games

[@StabbyRocketJoe]

​@João Fernandes Thing is, none of Sega's heavy hitters these days sell as much as Capcom blockbusters. Even if we attribute Atlus feats as Sega's, Persona/SMT ain't even a quarter of Monster Hunter's reach and numbers. Capcom edges Sega both critically, and most importantly, commercially.

[@StabbyRocketJoe]

[@crisgeraldperez7]

Sega released some great and decent games for the past few years and they even revived some of their games (with the help of different devs iirc) that are almost forgotten by everyone like Streets of Rage. But in Konami's case? I don't know about that yet but we'll see.

[@va8157]

​@@crisgeraldperez7 last year konami held an indie game competition where devs would pitch an idea for a game based on older konami franchises. The winner got their game funded to be released. They also released new entries in their old franchise like getsu fuumaden. The silent hill projects is also coming along. While it seems like konami doesn't have the development prowess like they used to, at least they're starting to get back into console game development albeit using talents from other companies. I just hope they can get back just like capcom since they have shit ton of IPs under their belt.

[@chidorisnake22]

I say this as someone that to this day is forever grateful to Yoshinori Ono for bringing Street Fighter back from the dead and championing Darkstalkers as hard as he did: the best thing Capcom did was get rid of him. There were a lot of really weird decisions made on his watch, many would say too many weird decisions. Ever since Matsumoto and Nakayama took over the fighting game division, we have seen a complete about-face in communication, content, presentation, passion, etc. This is especially jarring when you look at how SFV was promoted and handle before and after its launch versus how they're handling SF6. They elevated people that desperately wanted to fix past mistakes made, and it couldn't have been done at a much better time. Also, Dragon's Dogma 2 is happening. That seals the CapGod status for me.

The story of Inafune intrigues me because it's not like his thoughts were in any way UN-common at that time. TONS of people, in the press, on forums, even in Japan, repeated some variant of this thinking. Japan was taken by surprise by the OVERWHELMING sales of US-developed games and saw their own games sell for not nearly as much (though I do wonder in hindsight, were they still selling profitably but not AS profitably as US-games, or were they genuinely not selling well at all?), and thought that in order to develop games for the HD generation they had to pour FAR more resources and time into their games, slowing down their output tremendously for games that they were not as capable of developing as the West. This was the narrative that was being spread at the time. If it was true, then Inafune wasn't WRONG to reach outside the company to find ways to develop games quicker, and gain skills from outside developers that could cover their own weaknesses. It just feels like every step he took to EXECUTE that plan floundered. He cheaped out instead of hiring the dev studios of skilled devs that actually made those million-selling games, as if he thought it didn't matter WHAT western studio he hired to make games, just as long as they were Western. Or perhaps it was a management-level issue: that trying to steer development of a Japanese games with Japanese management methods on a western studio, was always doomed to fail. Whatever the case may be, it feels to me that an idea that wasn't INHERENTLY wrong (our industry is experiencing a backslide and we need to proactively find ways to fight it) lead to a plan that was just FUNDAMENTALLY wrong-headed at nearly every step. And man oh man, I REALLY want to know the inside scoop to what they were doing with their money and what the thinking was at that time. Pouring money into making Phanta Rei-engine for a game that never seems to be coming out, spending a TON of money on outside promo stuff like the animations and licensed music for Street Fighter X Tekken practically NECCESSITATING them to include some real nickle and dime DLC-stuff or the game would NEVER make back it's investment (spoler alert, it didn't anyway), having to reboot development on SF5 from it's initial realistic art style to the point where they had to take Sony-money to wrap it up and make it a PS4 /PC game only, spending as little as they could on Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, pumping out fighting games seemingly thinking that the renaissance meant there were surely audiences for ALL the games they had instead of spreading that stuff out... it just seems like financial decision after financial decision in that time was scientifically engineered to be as much murder on their finances as possible. Not to mention all the studios they contracted to make games that... didn't exactly set the world on fire. (Though wasn't Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom HEAVILY affected by the 2011 earthquake? I seem to recall their initial plan was ACTUALLY to release the Ultimate characters as downloadable content first, and then do an update far later... but the earthquake so severly changed things for them (personnel quit and work essentially stopped) that they seemed to decide to just take what they had made and put it on a disc, or else risk it never being made at all?) I wonder if that's why they've been so conservative lately with game releases. Sure, the games they DO release are (mostly) polished and really good, and sell well enough for their budgets. It may sting that they're more or less the Monster Hunter and Resident Evil company these days... but it seems to be a strategy that keeps the lights on and leads to (mostly) well-regarded games. Capcom scaling down and laser-focusing on these hits is probably the soundest financial AND development-based decision they've ever made... But maaaaaaaaannnnnn..... us nostalgic oldheads who remember the times when they just POURED out a variety of IP's of very different styles still can't help but wish those days would come back. But I'm afraid that it's just not possible these days: SNK supports both SamSho and King of Fighters AND Fatal Fury... but I wonder if ANY of them will be as ambitious as SF6, and I fear that it is just not feasible for any dev to support multiple fighting games if one of them is as ambitious as SF6 is. I fear that in todays climate, the days of width is truly over. We will have staples that get the BIG money, and the smaller stuff gets re-releases or games on the level of Megaman 11. Certainly not BAD games... but they are NOT delivering anything AAA in them, and we will get like ONE of them a year.

[@mustofaakmal7493]

Interesting read. Today is a different time indeed, games took TONS of money to make, and they need to be really carefull so they can make profit. I completely understand why Capcom keeping it safe nowadays. Well they always try to invent something new back in the day, and it doesn't always work out either (Clover studio). What the most important is always the human resources, they can still make all this amazing games lately is due to them. I pray that most of them will still stay and doesn't move to another company or Capcom gotta give new blood some experiences so they can have another Itsuno, Kamiya and Mikami

Don't forget about DMC5 in 2019 that was critically acclaimed and sold incredible well. It was right around the corner of RE2 remake. It was an incredible timeline for me.

I wanna say RE7 also had genre wide implications. I mean I remember the whole horror genre was declared "dead" by studios. There was some Scary Runaway Simulator (lol) Indie games before it, but then there was RE7 being a "AAA" horror game that was actually scary (or at least like an actual horror game) that combined some of the design ideas of the classic games in a new way (that didn't have you just runaway and be useless nor was it a ridiculous action movie). Cut to 2023 with RE4 (which "didn't need a remake") somehow being great in its own way (and I think better than the original). Tho the success of the remakes has made me wonder about the actual future of the franchise (RE9 onwards).

The Marvel Vs series can definitely make a comeback. Capcom isn't as bullheaded with it's management and with the MCU's stagnating reputation, I'm sure Disney would be willing to actually play ball.

[@TropicalTendencies]

Yes, I was thinking about that the other day. They're definitely back

[@petermckelvey222]

They should do a release of Marvel versus Capcom two or do a remake of it for fighting game. That would probably be overall the best selling game ever.

Would love to see a tag fighter come out eventually by the same team doing SF6, even if it's only Capcom characters.

I just hope Square Enix can be take notice of this. On my eyes they have been misreading their fans for such a long time now.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is what really brings the Capgod status. I cannot wait for that game, lol. It hates fire!

[@purextreme5460]

I’ll call them Capgod when they start remaking 80’s titles like Knights of the Round, Black Tiger, Magic Sword etc.

[@tekkamangrave]

To think of it, all my life I have been playing Capcom games, from the earliest Cadillac and Dinosaurs in the arcades to the latest RE4R on my PC. Rain or shine, Capcom remains to be my favorite. Can't imagine a life without it. Must be boring!

[@Kaioshin9000]

Yeah I remember when Capcom was in a very dark place for a few years. Now it’s crazy how many bangers they keep releasing back to back

The title reveal of RE7 in that first trailer was amazing.
