Title: Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: Luigi Dude on October 15, 2007, 01:50:47 PM
Bionic Commando announced for the XBox 360, PS3 and PC

Ok, this was one of Capcom's series that would have worked perfectly on the Wii.  Since the games revolves heavily around using a grappling hook the Wiimote would have done wonders to the game.

Well maybe when this game bombs bad enough which it probably will Capcom might finally learn..... oh wait nevermind.  This is the company that still wont bring Okami to the Wii even though the Wii is the system that would also work perfectly for the game and might actually get the game good sales.  Instead Capcom just wants to leave the game dead after it's horrible failure that everyone predicted would happen on the PS2.

Like I've said before, Capcom and Sega are the videogame equivalent to Dumb and Dumber.  Except every couple months they switch between the role of Dumber.

Nobody's gonna even think of buying this on PC so I really don't know what they're thinking there.

Agreed 100%.

Good work Capcom.

Actually, after finding out the game has been chunked out to some no-name developer and looks like crap, I don't really care...

And when this flops you can be sure they'll find some way of blaming Nintendo for it.

Hmm... I'm going to predict that the game will get canceled on PS3/360 because of cost reasons and moved to Wii or just canceled altogether. I remember when Sega tried to resurrect Vectorman on PS2 with some no-name developer. I think if Sega was smart enough to cancel that game, Capcom should be smart enough to cancel this game.

Geez, If there was one game in Capcom's stable that was tailor made for Wii...

I just saw the main character and threw up in my mouth a little.

Concept looks like crap, it probably end up being crap too!

You guys are so mean. Enough of this knee-jerk reaction just because we didn't get the game on the Wii. Who knows, we might get a port and then where does that leave all your irrational hate-fueled vitriol?

That said, the western developer does give me pause, as do the next-gen concept screens that, really, do little to stand out. Looks like "Prototype" to me.

This smells like Bomberman X-Treme Ultra Final Deathsplatter or whatever that was called.

Your post belongs in the even more despised "I hate this game series but had to come in to tell everyone" category...

You know NST made an awesome GBC game with Bionic Commando.  They could have made a DS followup instead of this embarrassment.

No they couldn't, because then they wouldn't be able to make fools of themselves.

Give me the NES Bionic Commando on the Virtual Console.

Also, Capcom just announced the following:
1. Street Fighter 4
2. a PS3 version of Lost Planet
3. A new Phoenix Wright spin-off titled Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice (DS)
4. A new Sci-Fi IP called Dark Void

Sweet News for me.  I can finally play Lost Planet and I'm sort of interested in Dark Void.  I wish we know more about it.

Post by: Kairon on October 17, 2007, 06:18:52 AM
SF4 CG teaser.

Dunno if the game will look like that or if they're just letting their art guys run wild, but man if we could get this game on the Wii... Since the game has supposedly just started development, it could happen! /fanboidreams

The more mistakes Capcom makes, the sooner they'll go out of business!
Title: RE: Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: Mashiro on October 17, 2007, 08:01:37 AM
I'm going to say it's 100% chance that that's just a teaser (see: nothing relating to gameplay) trailer Kairon.

Nice art direction though, pretty cool.

The new PW isn't a spin-off, it's the direction they are now heading with the main series!

And the rest of the stuff sounds like crap, really...A port, an old IP no one but the most hardcore of fighter fans cares about (SFIII is proof of that), and a new IP that sounds like more "hardcore punk" generic garbage...Woo...

The likelihood that SF4 will be Wii Exclusive is ZERO.

In fact the likelihood that SF4 will show up on the Wii is like 40% which makes me quite sad.

But to tell you the truth if they don't keep it 2D then I am not interested in the game.

Also, I hope they bring back the characters from their Alpha series, because I want to know what has happened with them.  

Truthfully, I would have loved to see a game where Ryu, Ken are much older and are like the bosses of the game.  

Then you have Sakuri as a young woman with her own destiny and you kinda see a story about what happened to the characters after M. Bison was defeated.  

Create a new villian and keep it shrowded in Mystery and create a new anime/manga series that tells the story of this new evil coming to being and what it means the SF characters.

Post by: Kairon on October 17, 2007, 08:53:03 AM
Yeah, I'm thinking that this SF4 won't be coming to the Wii at all personally... /sigh

Ooh, just saw the Bionic Commando trailer. I take back what I said before, this looks impressive!

Bionic Commando seems to be seething with generic rage.

The Street Fighter IV trailer was pretty cool. Bionic Commando was okay.

Ryu and Ken were older in Street fighter 3, and their story along with chun-li and goki were continued after bisons defeat. But, as excited as i am for the announcement, the oringal creator of the SF series was "let go" after third strike. This could very well be a capcom cash in, pushing the series to 3D, which would be horrible. And i'm not so sure only the hardcore care about 3rd strike, the anneversary edition sold decently well i thought.

Well at least this thread isn't saying SF4 will be crap without seeing a single screen shot like shoryuken.com is...

If SF4 is done at 480i then expect a port.
If it's done at 720p then no.

It really comes done to that.
Title: RE: Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: Kairon on October 18, 2007, 06:56:11 PM
But with the recent Capcom brouhaha over HD sprites for one of their Street Fighter ports... don't you anticipate the game to be HD?
Title: RE: Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: KDR_11k on October 18, 2007, 10:03:20 PM
SF4 will have to be 1080p if they want a PS3 version, it will have to be 720p if they want it on 360 and 480p if they want it on the Wii. If they want it on more than one console they'llhave to rescale the sprites. Hell, they'll have to anyway because most people only have a 480i TV.

Dark Void, huh?  Sigh.  Remember back when vidja games weren't depressing?  
Title: RE: Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: couchmonkey on October 22, 2007, 08:33:19 AM
My guess is the game will be stylized 3D similar to the trailer, but who knows?

I wonder if it would be practical to make the game with 2D vector graphics?

Considering that the Street Fighter franchise was moved to Capcom USA from Japan it doesn't surprise me that most people aren't expecting anything from it.  The last time they were allowed to touch the franchise resulted in Street Fighter The Movie the arcade game.  Then again with Okamoto gone they probably don't even care anymore and are using this as a quick cash grab.
Title: RE:Wow, Capcom fails again.
Post by: Galford on October 22, 2007, 06:23:37 PM
Darknight it's funny you bring up Sf:The Movie.
Go over to shoryuken.com and look up the thread about it.  

It has the lead designer of that project posting a lot, it'a very interesting read.
Capcom Japan is equally responsible for the crap known as Street Fighter: The Movie.

A big reason people at shoryuken are dissmissing SF4 is because of the HIGH probability that it will go straight to console, without an arcade release. That will mean many many things with the balancing could be terribly off. The other reason is that capcom of america is doing. And the reason I'm worried is because capcom let the original creator go because 2D games don't sell. Remember, his last interview has him saying that he wanted to add zangief and some other original characters into the next SF 3 instalment that would come AFTER third strike. His next move wasn't SF 4 but still SF 3, he hadn't perfected it yet. Moving to SF4 means something is up.

Post by: anubis6789 on October 22, 2007, 09:12:58 PM
Why add Zangief to SF3 when Hugo and/or Alex do a pretty good job of recreating him?

As far as the Alpha series story is concerned, I think it is considered non-continuity or an alternate reality with the main SF->SFII->SFIII time line.

I would have loved for SFIV to have Sean or Mel completely replace Ken and have an old Ryu as a new super boss like Akuma.

They do not need to rescale the sprites; they can use down sampling which usually looks better in my opinion than native resolution (Up sampling on the other hand ...).

Downsampling gives you less control over what ends up where.

Wow, i'm suprised no one pointed out that Okami has been anounced as a Wii port!  I'm reserving judgement on Bionic Commando until I see some grappling hands-on reports (see what I did there).  Could go either way.  Capcom better do something different with SF4.  The series got stale after Super SF2.  What I really want to see if SF VS MK
