When you think about if they can successfully market the RE Engine license to other game developers that should net them some hefty dough. The engine worked extremely well for what it needed to do and I bet people would love to tinker with it and see what it can truly do.

Once RE 2 Remake comes out, Capcom can dissolve for all I care.

Wanderer posted:Between RE6 and RE7, you had the REmake remaster (which sold extremely well for a rerelease of a 14-year-old GameCube game, especially via online storefronts), Umbrella Corps (which seems to have been some kind of failed experiment), and the RE0 remaster (which sold about as well as the REmake remaster did). You also had two films in the live-action franchise, both of which were financially successful. You completely missed the point and managed to not cite a single sales figure yourself. Good job!

veni veni veni posted:You completely missed the point and managed to not cite a single sales figure yourself. Good job! My point was that your point is based on flawed data, which you appear to have made up out of whole cloth. You can't usefully claim the "brand name was damaged" when in the intervening four years, there have been three Resident Evil-branded games released, and all three were sales successes (http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html) despite all of them being initially released via electronic storefronts. Yeah, there's also Umbrella Corps (which appears to have been dead on arrival), but I don't think it's an accident that that game didn't have the RE name attached. Further, while RE6 has a bad reputation among enthusiasts and critics, it's risen to become the second best-selling title in Capcom history. You can try to explain that all you like, but generally, out here in the real world, that means that the enthusiasts and the silent majority have a dramatic difference of opinion.

You seem to think that I'm saying RE6 caused the franchise to flop, when I did not say that. I said that RE lost a chunk of mainstream appeal and is more niche than it used to be. Everything you or anyone else here has posted supports this. Everything post RE6 until 7 was either a remaster or a smaller budget value game. I didn't say they weren't successful, but they were successful in a much more modest way than Resident Evil at it peak. Capcom seemed to realize this and were happier with smaller numbers and spending less money on making RE games (for example they were very happy selling 1 million copies of REmaster for $20 each). I honestly don't even know what the hell you are trying to argue here. My entire point was that after their recent strategy it's kind of surprising that they thought RE7 would sell a ton of copies, because it's not one of the "big" franchises like it used to be and it seemed like they knew it. Full disclosure so I don't get accused of making stuff up "whole cloth" I don't know the budget for RE7 and can't find it, but they obviously went a little more uh, frugal with it for lack of a better term so it seems reasonable to assume they wouldn't have expected RE5/6 sales. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Everything post RE6 until 7 was either a remaster or a smaller budget value game. This is because RE7 was in production, and since RE4, it has taken them four to five years to produce the next installment in the main franchise. This is due to the larger development time and budgets required for modern triple-A titles. RE7 is a brand-new game produced for several new platforms using a brand-new engine that also supports virtual reality. The game could be animated entirely with stick figures and there'd be nothing "frugal" about it.

I know what I'm talking about, since market analysis and research in the games industry used to be part of my full-time job, and you don't have a leg to stand on here. Sales are kind of a messy subject, since it's hard to find accurate reports unless you can find a given company's shareholder report or similar data. That said, RE7 was the #2 best-selling game in February according to the NPD (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-10-best-selling-games-in-the-us-during-februar/1100-6448796/), and VG Chartz (which is often wrong, but is also one of the only games in town) has RE7 across all platforms as the #2 best-selling game of the year so far, behind Horizon: Zero Dawn. Sales are one of the only ways that you can measure "mainstream appeal." By that metric, the RE brand is in fine shape, as it's managed to succeed despite stiff competition and flagging overall market sales.

I bet if they had made Mega Man Legends 3 like I wanted then karma would ensure RE7 sold better than it did.

RE7 is quite good, if you like Resident Evil games. It's probably the best attempt at emulating the first one since, well, the REmake of the first one. I like the first person shift and the new gameplay elements.

I don't think I've seen this posted in here before, but it's a pretty interesting video that messes with the camera in RE 4 and shows some of the areas that they player can't normally get to, including what helicopter mike looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVZrMD2drks Vakal fucked around with this message at 03:28 on May 6, 2017 |

The PS3 HD version was also running on a different engine entirely with support for dynamic lighting. It had its quirks, but Capcom put effort in there. They've done no such thing with the PS4 "HD" version.

Again, the brightness was due to the switch to dynamic lighting. To be honest, I kinda liked it. It made some areas of Code Veronica so dark that I decided to use the lighter and forgo a weapon. It made the experience feel a good bit different.

In the land of Europe, the flow of time is distorted. The flow of time itself is convoluted; with hertz rates centuries old phasing in and out. Anyways anyone willing to pay money for CV is a hapless fool in any case and as such they deserve slower gameplay, as to make their suffering continue to the end of time itself, or 17% longer at least. Man gently caress anyone who disses RE6 while liking CV or RE0, those games are so bad and I've played through them both multiple times just because I thought there had to be something good I was missing in there. There aint! They stink! smuh fucked around with this message at 19:04 on May 11, 2017 |

CV was cool when it came out but it doesn't look like it's aged well. If nothing else it was cool seeing RE step into the next gen at the time.I really liked it but I don't remember anything about it and have no desire to return to it. RE6 was a big turd shooter in a sea of better turd shooters.

Sakurazuka posted:Yeah I'll take that over the loving emulated PAL version thanks. Not just that, the switch to framework messed the frame rate up in fmvs. Whole things feels unpolished. Best to just emulate the ps2 or gc versions with the widescreen patch. Or play the code veronica section in darkside chronicles which fixes the story too and is a better version in everyway.

As long as they are re-releasing every RE under the sun they better get around to Chronicles because those games were great. Please add VR support too.
