Line #15 AndTheFandomRejoiced/Capcom


1	* Creator/{{Capcom}} attempted an AuthorsSavingThrow [[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=490082 by announcing six social games for iOS.]] Why is this notable? Because Capcom, [[FollowTheLeader joining the]] ''AndTheFandomRejoiced/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'' [[FollowTheLeader bandwagon]], are making their own "Capcom All-stars" game (think [[VideoGame/CapcomVs Capcom Vs. Just Capcom]]), with [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Classic (Pre-Reboot) Dante]] ''and'' VideoGame/{{Mega Man\|Classic}} in it (after coming this close to refusing to acknowledge their existence). That is, only to screw it up by announcing it would stay [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]]. As one [=NeoGAF=] member put it:
2	-->''"So if it's their own in-house Japan only thing, classic Dante is ok!"''
3	** Not to fear, Western fans: Mega Man in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' should more than make up for it.
4	* [[IncomingHam ahem]]''....'''[[TitleDrop Resident Evil]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmC1lZeQad4 6]]''' ''As if that wasn't enough to get fans excited, the trailer revealed [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Leon S. Kennedy]] and [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 Chris Redfield]] returning ''in the same game.'' But both badass protagonist appearances pale in comparison to the return of...[[TheBusCameBack wait for it]]...'''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Sherry]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Birkin]]'''! That sound you hear? Millions of RE fans throwing money at the screen.
5	** Oh...and ''zombies are back!''
6	* ''Resident Evil: Revelations 2'', huh? You mean Claire's ''finally'' coming back? Awesome! And her partner is Barry Burton's daughter? Well, it's a nice ContinuityNod, but not as cool as having the big guy himse- wait, ''BARRY'S GONNA BE IN IT, TOO?!'' Hell '''yes!'''
7	* Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard''. And it's a VR-based horror game, releasing just in time for ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''[='=]s 20th birthday celebration. Well, OK. Maybe I'd consider... Why does this look like P.T.? Well, it's not Silent Hills but it does look very- '''HOLY FUCKING SPACE DRAGONS! It's returning to the franchise's horror roots! YAHOO!'''
8	** What has been revealed of the gameplay and atmosphere is a double-whammy of awesome for those still smarting from the cancellations of both ''VideoGame/SilentHills'' and ''VideoGame/AllisonRoad''.
9	** And for those still longing for a classic RE fix, more good news: they're also finally, ''finally'' doing the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' remake fans have been begging for since 2002!
10	* So they have an announcement for San Diego Comic-Con, eh? Wonder what they'll show this time...wait. Is that...''holy shit, a new VideoGame/{{Strider}} game?!''
11	* Face it, before it was announced as an Xbox One exclusive, Many people thought "VideoGame/DeadRising3 is being made? Grab me some [[DucttapeForEverything duct-tape]] and Let's kick some ass!" then after Microsoft decided to go back on its game restrictions for the Xbox One, Fans were even happier to find that The world is much bigger and prettier with no loading, you can turn [[ScrappyMechanic the timer]] on and off, the Zombies are smarter, [[CastofSnowflakes No zombie or survivor will be exactly the same]] and you can make a combo weapon ''anywhere you want!''
12	** Capcom managed to drum up more hype by revealing the reward for beating Nightmare mode: the First Armor from VideoGame/MegaManX1, complete with arm cannon!
13	* Well a port of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/254700/ is coming to]] Platform/{{Steam}}. Eh, it'll probably be a rehashing of [[PortingDisaster the crappy PC port]] from 2007--wait, IT'S GOING TO BE '''[[UpdatedRerelease THE ULTIMATE HD EDITION]]''' AND IT WILL RUN IN 60 FRAMES-PER-SECOND (if your system can handle it) WITH PROPER MOUSE AND KEYBOARD CONTROLS?! REJOICE, PC PLAYERS, THERE MAY BE A PORT OF ''[=RE4=]'' WORTH PLAYING AFTER ALL!!
14	* So, Capcom's announced a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSQAHLPAsqk DmC: Definitive Edition]] game, huh? Yawn-o-rama. I mean, even if you put new Dante in old Dante's clothes, you're not going to make him any more likable. Hang on, 'one more thing?' What else coul... is that Vergil? ''Pre-reboot Vergil''? '''Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition?!?''' I don't care if it's a remake of a game released on the previous console generation (360, [=PS3=]), it's more non-reboot Devil May Cry!
15	** And now that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvcXsbX6Dnc the trailer's dropped]], we can see not only is Vergil playable, but [[EnsembleDarkHorse Lady and Trish]] both are too! It's great enough to see Trish making another playable appearance after Devil May Cry 2, but to see Lady finally getting a playable role? Fantastic. Oh, and they're bringing back [[ZergRush Legendary Dark Knight Mode]] from the [[PolishedPort PC Version]]!
16	* So ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' have an HD remaster on PC and consoles? That's pretty cool, but how about ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' getting the same treatment? Wait, did Capcom just announce that [[https://youtu.be/ZcW6W-xVl-8 it's actually going to happen!?]]
17	* This [[http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/data/pdf/explanation/2015/full/explanation_2015_full_03.pdf Q&A summary for Capcom's financial results ending in March 31, 2016]] has one particular answer that has caught the attention of many fans, meaning that several dormant Capcom [=IP=]s can potentially be revived in the near future:
18	-->'''Q.''' What impact has organizational restructuring of development in the Consumer business had?\
19	'''A.''' Compared to before the restructuring, we have made profitability improvements via administration of the roadmap and increasing the ratio of internally developed titles. However, at the same time we have increased our development workforce, thus we must pay greater attention to management of development. We also possess a vast library of content in which there remains multiple IP that have not yet been utilized to their full potential—these issues we will handle moving forward. Moreover, we will endeavor for further profitability improvements and unit sales growth by releasing all titles finished to a high level of quality.
20	* The above pay off comes at E3 2018, when Capcom drops not one, but TWO big cinematic trailers. One for '''''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5''''' and the second for the VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 remake. See them for yourself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMSGj9Y2T9Q here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH6RqhTPx-I here]], respectively.
21	* With the [[ObviousBeta bareboned]] release of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', its ''[[UpdatedRerelease Arcade Edition]]'' allowed players to download the DLC characters from Seasons 1 and 2 for free, which pleased many fans. This bumped up the roster from 16 characters to 28. ''Arcade Edition'' also includes features that weren't in the original version, such as Arcade Mode and character endings.
22	** Each character from Seasons 1 and 2 were revealed one at a time, with unrevealed characters appearing as silhouettes. Once Capcom Cup 2017 ended, [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Sakura]] was revealed as the first character of Season 3, with the same silhouette format as seen before for the 5 remaining characters. What was Capcom thinking? Why must people wait to see the upcoming... Hold on. There's another trailer?! Is that the new cinematic opening? Wait, is that ''Blanka'' with Sakura?! Who is that Uncle Sam looking guy?[[note]]His name is G.[[/note]] Hold on... ''that's'' ''[[VideoGame/FinalFight Cody!]]'' He's wearing a suit now! [[ReformedCriminal Looks like he turned his life arou]]... '''''[[NoIndoorVoice SAGAAAAAAT!!!]]''''' Goddamn, he's back! Capcom did it! They finally did it... whose that woman next to Ed?[[note]]Her name is Falke.[[/note]] Unreal. Capcom learned their lesson and ''[[AuthorsSavingThrow revealed the 5 remaining Season 3 characters]]''.
23	** Before the EVO 2018 finals for ''[=SFV=]'' took place, Producer Yoshinori Ono arrived on stage, but was soon joined by an actor playing the role of G. After the latter gave a speech about the unity of Earth and its people, his gameplay trailer was shown. But, Ono wasn't finished yet, as a trailer for Sagat was also shown! And if that wasn't enough, the end of Sagat's trailer states that both him and G were available ''the very next day!'' Keep in mind that the other DLC characters usually get released a week or two after their gameplay trailers were revealed and it was always one character at a time.
24	** In 2020, Capcom announced that the game was getting a fifth and final round of DLC characters. On August 5th, four of them were announced, including Oro, a sought-after inclusion after his one and only appearance in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', and Akira Kazama?! ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' finally gets a playable character in the series!
25	* Amazingly enough, the announcement of the ''Capcom Fighting Collection'' brings in a couple of whammies to spice up what could have been an otherwise standard package: the return of ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' after years of inactivity by bringing in every game in the series (including the never-previously-imported ''Vampire Hunter 2'' and ''Vampire Savior 2''), and the very first home console release for ''VideoGame/RedEarth''!
