Capcom, please stop trying to make "games for western gamers" make mor

More action, adventure, horror games. It seems most of Capcom's games on the 360 or PS3 have been shooters and games for "western gamers".

Dead Rising was pretty cool, and Lost Planet was alright, but Dark Void is epic fail.

I think an Onimusha Sequel is in order, a proper Resident Evil sequel, and for them to bring back Clover Studios and have them make a bunch of awesome games like they always do. (I know that's impossible..)

But really, besides the fighting games, I have been very disapointed with Capcom this whole generation. I am a big fan of shooting games, but there are a bunch of them out there. We don't need any more.

Pretty much if we get Onimusha 5 any time soon, I'd be very happy.

I agree Capcom acts more like grinning lackeys to Western Devs this gen when they should be taking charge of Eastern gaming values. They're Tonto to The Lone Ranger. "yes kimosabe, I want to be like you"

i would say that an re outbreak should be released

Dead Rising was brilliant. More of that. Less Bionic Commando and Dark Void.Polybren

Prepare to get some hate mail from Grammaton, and the rest of GGD. It was our 2009's 'best game no one played'. :P

Well according to those in the East, they are trying to appeal to the play style of Western gamers, I guess in a interview it went something like this "Western gamers like to be in the action, so thats why we ditched the turn based action for a more fluid action-y game." (coming from a guy that is developing that new gun based RPG, name escapes me) I just sat there and said, "WTF!!!!!111!!111one" to say the least what a **** do most of you want that? MOAR ACTION FOR THE HOLLYWOOD SCENE? I sure the hell don't so why are they getting these ideas?

I like my turned based action, because if they switch to what western gamers want, guess what? We won't have anything thats different, everything will be one big MUSH of action games. F that. RE5 sucked, RE4 was done right, but sorry Capcom, time to go to your gaming roots.

I would love to see some revamped Onimusha. That would bring a tear to my eye.Canvas_Of_Flesh

It would also bring a tear to mine as well. A new Onimusha is what Capcom needs. They need to stop putting it off so they can publish and fund these games which keep failing (Bionic Commando and Dark Void).

As for catering to Western Gamers, it seems like that's the direction this industry is going, sadly. I for one like some manner of variety in my gaming collection. For the games all to play the same (and they're from different series and so forth) is just not going to cut it.

I hadn't seen radioactive mist since Superman 64. I've got no problem with linear games (Uncharted 2 was my GOTY pick last year) but a game with hard to see but lethal 'walls' just isn't something I can enjoy.

I was about to throw my hands up and agree while pining for the days when Resident Evil wasn't a lame action game and actually tried to be a survival horror like it was intended.

Then I remembered I gave up caring within the first hour of playing Resident Evil 5. I don't know what Capcom were thinking but maybe if they do something really amazing in the future I'll start paying attention to them again.

I sure the hell don't so why are they getting these ideas?AlmostUndead

The ripples in the pond of a hard-to-read Japanese market emanate forth into all aspects of the industry. I personally haven't had a problem with what Capcom has put out this generation, but there's no denying it's been awful shootery. Again, though, Japan went stupid and isn't interested in conventional games like they used to be, so it makes logical sense to look to the west when the option is making non-games that get outsold 300:1 by the next Wii Fit, and the west LOVES shooters.

Dark Void was developed by Airtight Games, not Capcom. Capcom's offerings this generation have been alright at best, in my opinion (then again, I was never much of a fan). Lost Planet was ok (I'm definitely not interested in the sequel), Dead Rising was boring and pointless and Resident Evil 5 was a disappointment. Not interested in Devil May Cry and Street Fighter.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new Onimusha game.

Eh, I didn't know they only published it. They should publish more games by the defunct Clover studios and Grasshopper studios then. :p

Did you even play RE5?dvader654

Do we have to go through this every time? Perhaps other people don't share my ability, but I am more than capable of drawing important conclusions from a demo. I don't need to play the game in its entirety to figure out that it's not up to snuff. Was Resident Evil 5 not a very safe sequel that liberally borrowed set-pieces from its predecessor? Is the inventory system completely revamped in the full game? Are the mechanics and the AI totally different than in the demo? I'm not about to write a review or even rate the game based on a demo, but some basic observations do not change going from a demo to a full game.

Once you get into later portions of the game that design restriction really lets up quite a bit. I agree it was a misstep but once I got through it what remained was something pretty special.

Viva La Bionic Commando!!

You do know I died a little inside when reading that, don't you?

What are you, some sort of zombie-lover?

Seriously, Dead Rising is still one of the coolest things I've ever played. A playable version of Dawn of the Dead.

Shame-usBlackley

Yeah, the combined installed base of the X360 and the PS3 in Japan is only 5 million, so its no surprise makers of big budget games are developing games with an eye towards the Western market.

Yeah, I noticed you were a zombie buff. :P

I killed a zombie with a golf club. Then I killed a zombie with a baseball bat. *quit demo*

Not a zombie fan at all. In fact, I've developed an aversion towards zombie games over the years. This is just my own conspiracy theory, but I'll be damned if developers aren't churning out these zombie games as a convenient excuse to avoid developing competent AI. "Hey, our game's AI is pretty stupid...I know, slap on some zombie skins!". Any zombie game has to fight an uphill battle to win me over (I really liked Crackdown, but I'm giving the sequel the cold shoulder). I love games like Resident Evil 4, Left 4 Dead and Plants vs. Zombies despite them being zombie games, not thanks to it. :wink:

Ugh, Dead Rising was terrible. It was a cool concept but the controls, health system, and save system were just bad and really ruined the enjoyment of the game for me.

[QUOTE="dvader654"]Did you even play RE5?UpInFlames

I know I don't share your ability. I have played several demos and have decided not to get the game. One of them, Van Helsing, I ended up getting for my birthday and figured I would give it a shot. I really enjoyed the game, and had I just thought of the demo, I never would have played it. Another, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, I didn't like the demo one bit, but I found the game for $5, and it's decent. Not the greatest, but there's some fun to it. Personally, I don't even bother with demos. I don't think they adequately indicate the overall experience. However, it could just be my lack of prowess...muthsera666

I just know that I've never been steered wrong by a demo. If I totally loved a demo (Crysis, King's Bounty: The Legend), I loved the game. I played the Lost Planet demo and I found it to be pretty good. I decided to skip it, but a couple of years later I picked it up when I saw it going for really cheap. Finished the game and I thought it was pretty good (gave it a 7.5). When I played the BioShock demo I was a bit disappointed even though I enjoyed it a lot because it just didn't feel as remarkable as I expected it to be. My opinion did not change much once I finished the game - great, but disappointing. Generally, I simply find that I can examine a game really fast. For some reason the Crackdown demo isn't available in my region, but I picked the game up anyway. It literally took me about 5 minutes fiddling around with the controls to realize that I made the right choice. I distinctly remember when I fired up that game for the first time, I didn't even exit the Agency building when I thought to myself "Yeah, this is gonna be a great game".

Obviously, this doesn't apply to strategy games for which a couple of hours at least is absolutely necessary, but that's why strategy games usually offer extensive demos.

I think it simply boils down to some people being able to recognize if they're gonna enjoy something relatively fast while others need more time. However, I also think that if you play (or watch, or listen to) something long enough, you're probably going to find some redeeming qualities in it and even enjoy it on some level even if you disliked it at first.

The original Devil May Cry is amazing, if you can pick it up somewhere cheap I'd recommend it. Avoid the 2nd one (its really quite bad) the 3rd is kinda in between.

DMC3 is the best in the series. Definitely pick it up.

So wait, the point of the thread is that adventure/action games are OK as long as they have eastern characters?:? As an aside, how did such obvious flamebait make it to a four page thread?
