Capcom cuts profit forecast in half due to "rapid changes" in the games market

This is what greed get them, They ignore the Fans and their core gamers. They wanna target their games with the "C.O.D" Group or more causual ... LOL

DMC, Crap DLC, Cancel MegaMan, Low Quality games with overpriced.

Karma Bitches ;)

Maybe they should get back to RE type games and this would correct their issues?

hey capcom, bring us a next gen Contra, UN Squadron game please. No more crappy zombie games or endless street fighter re-releases. Nice job on Ducktales also capcom, that was a failure in so many ways. Keeping broken dated gameplay in games leaves us all with a semi retarded remake.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Really?If a crappy game, appears on a "better plat", it's still a crappy game....

So DR3 is such a great game that despite bone platform vacuum noone is buying it? what a shame!

I guess when going for casuals , dumbing down games, ignoring your core population and producing sub par games doesn't work , you call it change in the market...

THQ has something to say about it...

square-enix learned the hard way and now they are going back to their core market, now its capcom turn.

I think capcom should cut all there dlc and put in disc on there future games and maybe put ghost N cobilns in HD because i think will sale a lot with the online leaderboards.

capcom will face bankrupht and we got know who pick up res evil or dead riseing or street fighter series.

Rush Capcom into a coffin. They deserve it.

I blame this whole "Westernization" strategy that big name Japanese gaming companies have utilized for over half a decade now. Lack of communication between Western fans and Capcom made the company only listening to sales numbers as oppose to the reception itself. Which lead to Capcom going from bad to worse with RE5 to RE6. Capcom was also under the impression that Westerners love DLCs and that caused Capcom to preform a bunch of crap Day 1 DLCs because they think that it would make their games more appealing to us Western fans. Fun fact about DmC: Capcom only rebooted DMC because they wanted to make the game more appealing to Westerners. . .Oh and they wanted more money because the 2.4 million in sales that DMC 4 made wasn't greedy enough.

Capcom is by far the worse, but they're not the only Japanese companies that suffered. Square is second to Capcom in terms being on the shit list. Konami also followed suit by having Mercury Stream work on the Castlevania series. Those Lords of Shadows games aren't bad, but certainly not amazing.

Japanese companies need to fucking stop with this. No progression has been made with this new approach to Japanese gaming, all it's been doing is bringing everything down. Turn back now before it's too late.

This is what happens when you drown your games in DLC.

RE 5 AND 6 not sold poorly

<< LINK REMOVED >>

You mean the new Strider game that couldn't be made for the Wii U (a system with almost no 3rd part competition) wasn't enough??????

Nope, not bitter at all about that one.....

Well resident evil 6 was just trash when will they ever make a better resident evil game? It goes to show how many people they ticked off. How come they just won't bring back the original zombie? i would recommend things but a Japanese person will not listen to a Westerner. Yet alone a gamer that grew up on their original IP's

Resi 6. Enough said.

Their latest releases haven't appealed to me. Now if they release a Breath of Fire game or Dragon's Dogma 2 they'll get my money for sure.

Too much zombies... I guess that Ultra Street Fighter is really going to make a change...

The "rapid change" is that people have access to the Internet for reviews so they won't buy every piece of shit game you throw out (Resident Evil 6, Raccoon City, and every thousandth version of fighting game you release). The plethora of day 1 disc-locked content will doesn't help either.

Time for MS to pull out their wallet...

I for one won't shed a tear when Capcom goes the way of THQ having to sell their IP's off to better companies.

They do nothing with the Megaman franchise and they sit on Monster Hunter 4 for years before releasing outside of Japan. Add to that they basically ruined Resident Evil. They really need to be sold to a company who can make them great again.

Company changes the way in which they approach game development by focussing more on money making and less on quality. Games fail to sell because of a lack of said quality. Company blames the market.

Seems legit.

Maybe they shouldn't release their best games on shit platforms only.

Dead Rising, but not Revenue Rising, huh? I don't know what these "rapid changes" mean or if it's just a way to say that their games aren't as good as they used to be, without fully admitting that.

the reason capcom is losing it is due to their disrespect for their customers, trying to sell the same game over and over with super ultra mega and hyper editions. in fact, they do it since the 80's, just look at how many street fighter II versions were released. it worked for over 20 years, but no more. customers are fed up with it, as I am. I don't support capcom anymore and I would simply download their stuff for free without feeling any remorse. we need quality and price. if you are daring to release a dlc, release a consistent one. not some small stuff that won't add anything significant to the games and just rape our wallets.

I love when good news gets reported on GameSpot.
