HD Remakes and Classics

Still?

I started it a couple weeks ago. Just got through the original DMC now I'm playing DMC2.

Still a Capcom fan?

Yeah, they charge money for on disc dlc so you're suppose to stop buying any of their games, hate them and destroy your entire collection of Capcom produced games. Get with the times! Also post on the internet about how this is the biggest outrage of our time since the 2nd US invasion of Iraq.

Old Capcom is best Capcom

Capcom loves to make new games with old-school gameplay.

Meh I don't see the big deal about on disc DLC. I mean it was made after the game was completed so it's technically not part of the game you paid for. I mean it would be nice to get it for free but financially that's just not always possible.

I've been subscribing to Capcom's "Mega Man" comic book since it came out over a year ago. I also have two different Mega Man t-shirts. I've gotten through twenty five games in the series including every Mega Man, Mega Man X, and Mega Man Zero.

Capcom lost the plot when they fired all their talent.

It might please you to know Shinji Mikami is working on new horror IP's for somebody else, a return to his roots.

Yep, I read that a while back. Weird time to be putting out games, right now. Anything slightly left of centre seems like a huge risk regardles of who's behind it.

No, they like to say they're making new games with old-school style gameplay, but then turn around and produce games that are anything but. For example, they came out and said that RE6 would go back to the series' roots, but then said that the controls and a million other things would be changed up, and even came out and said that there isn't a big market for survival horror, so they won't be creating a traditional RE game anytime soon. Clearly, their first statement was a blatant lie, and any company that sees fit to come out and give its fans the middle finger certainly won't be getting any of my money. Also, the DMC HD Collection isn't a new game, it's a collection of ps2 games made when they were a good company. It's a solid collection, but it just serves as a reminder of why companies like Capcom are dead to me now.

If it's on the disc, it was made before the game was completed, because it was already a part of the finished product that was shipped. I don't see how it could be on the disc if it was made after the disc was made. I don't like paying again for things I already paid for. Call me crazy, but if a company is going to extremes to withhold content, I'm less likely to show any interest in their product just out of principle. Then again, Capcom has been dead to me for a while, so it hardly matters if they do something like that. HD Collections don't have dlc, so withholding content isn't a problem with them, unless a company gets the bright idea to charge extra for one of the games on it. I wouldn't put it past modern devs to pull something like that.

They often remake old games with new graphics. And also make all-new games that are supposed to play like old classic ones.

For example, Mega Man 9 and 10 were all-new games with NES graphics. They also did remakes of the first Mega Man and Mega Man X on the PSP with all-new modern graphics. Same with "Bionic Commando Rearmed".

"Viewtiful Joe" 1 and 2 was a new game series that played like a classic side scroller. "Maximo" was a sequel to Ghosts n Goblins and it was supposed to be the closest thing to an old side classic scroller in 3D. These are just a few examples.

I get what Venger's saying. Capcom and Japanese developers in general still anchor their games in an arcade mentality even with little touches like picking up fruit and burgers for power-ups in God Hand. As someone who grew up hanging it out in arcades it's one of the reasons why I have a great love of Japanese games, it's just unfortunate they're not in a great place at the moment. I'm sure that'll turn around at some stage. In the meantime, we have what we have. Platinum, From Software, Keiji Inafune, Kojima, Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami. Luckily those developers are responsible for most of Japan's finest output. It's good to read Keiji Inafune has now found a home with From.
I can't think of anywhere better for him to go right now.

Your missing out the remake of Resident Evil on the Gamecube, Venger.
It's a remake on the graphics, voices, added more places. I'd say it's better than the original... though I'm pretty bad at it.

Yeah, I really enjoyed REmake on the Gamecube.

Very nice piece of music
