The Capcom Thread

EDIT: Resident Evil Zero for the Wii has audio and graphical problems?

Actually I wouldn't say 'graphical problems' but I did notice that the aspect ratio was off whereas REmake on the wii was in the correct one. Whether you had your wii setting on widescreen or not the ratio never changed however Zero's happens to stretch out and fit the screen. That one is a nitpick since you can correct it by changing the wii and TV settings if you have an HDTV.

As far as the sound quality I played both my GC and Wii versions and noticed that the Wii version has a kind of scratchy sound when Rebecca narrates the opening. Not sure why that is.

That, and the
"These games were Nintendo exclusive, but 3 of these were ported to PS2!"
(*2 lines later*)
"This game was Nintendo exclusive and wasn't ported to PS2!"

I mean... take one position and stick with it... >_>

I'm pretty sure that's a recap of Capcom 5 in general and only noting that P.N.03 was the only one that wasn't ported.

No plans as of yet to localize Edgeypoo or awesome professor/lawyer combo? Fuck you Capcom.

Proffesor Layton X Ace Attorney is developed by Level 5 not Capcom, Level 5 will make the final decision.

As for Dead Phoenix, it was part of Mikami's Capcom 5 but due to poor sales of Viewtiful Joe and PN03 the game was cancelled.

Which is weird since Capcom 5 was displaying five unique different games.

I just saw the intro again and cant really make any difference to be honest.

[Smiley]

Really? It's pretty obvious on my end. The sound is much better on the GC. Then again I'm a freak like that. I even noticed that REmake on wii has different music and sound cues.

[Mr_Zombie]

I don't agree with all the things mentioned in the OP.

I think the Dead Rising 2: Case Zero was a great thing, something I hope more companies will use. A 3-4 hour game with few different endings for just 400MSP/5$? There are avatar items that cost that much. It's a much better way to introduce people to Dead Rising than a 15-minute free demo.

The DRM thing on PSN games - blame Sony and their policy that allows people to legally share games between up to 5 people. While I do not agree with the always online DRM (I hate DRM in general), it isn't really hard to understand that a company wants to prevent such things.

NGC exclusives that were later ported to PS2? If sales on GameCube were low, it's obvious that Capcom would eventually decide to port those games to the most popular platform there was. Yes, it suck for people that bought Nintendo's console for those games, but on the other hand, all those games were technically superior on NGC. ;)

I can't understand the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 fiasco though. I thought that after the Street Fighter 4 => Super Street Fighter 4 they've learned their lesson and all further fighting games will be upgradable through DLC. It seems I was wrong. Oh well, I wouldn't be surprised if Tekken X SF won't sell that well because people will rather wait few months for the inevitable Super Tekken X SF.

[Smiley]

It's not upgradeable through dlc though in this case. If you were the sucker that got the regular/collectors edition then spent money on any overpriced dlc and now buy a new disc for more additional content you're spending well over $100 on a fighting experience that's not even a year old yet.

That said, the over priced dlc that does come out is not uncommon in fighting games and there have indeed been other companies that rip gamers off. Regardless, just because other companies do it doesn't make it right or absolve Capcom for doing it as well. The problem is where you have gamers who think that just because more than one company does it then it becomes a standard that they're use to. My question is why do people like bending over and getting ripped off?

I don't think they do, but they accept it anyways and Capcom keeps doing it. As I've seen though even if you don't agree with all the stuff on that list you can at least see that one or so has effect gamers to some degree. Some more than most.

The only thing that actually fills me with a quiet rage is the stuff with Demento/Haunting Ground.

Such an amazing game that didn't get any attention.

[Smiley]

Yeah that one flew under the radar. I only got it under recommendation by Enetirnel and a few others. An excellent survival horror title.

[Alzaire]

Yeah Demento was a good game. Makes me feel like playing it again with how often you guys mention it haha.

[JcFFx]

And yet, the Japanese servers remain up and if you want to play it - you have to go out of your way to be able to get an online game up when they could actually resolve the issue in a matter of ways at the current time.

I'm not sure about the numbers and playerbase and whatnot, but Japanese players actually had to pay to play online, which makes a bit more sense why they are still able to and we're not.

Also, and I'm not entirely positive about this, but didn't the company that hosted the service (SNAP) shut down a while back?

Again, I loved Outbreak. I would love to see it get a port or something. But given how poorly Outbreak 2 sold, even if Capcom could do something about it at this point, why would they want to?

(If you want to add anything to that list: releasing OB2 after RE4 in North America was a *terrible* idea.)

So no, it isn't a complaint that the game wasn't ported to PS2 - only pointing out it was the ONLY ONE that WASN'T ported out of the so-called "Exclusive Capcom Five" games.

Then I propose the image get edited to reflect that.

Given that every set of points ultimately consists of a bunch of Capcom complaints, putting that as a standalone point provides potential for misinterpretation.

[Enetirnel]

No plans as of yet to localize Edgeypoo or awesome professor/lawyer combo? Fuck you Capcom...fuck yoooouuuu. I love those games...but because they are story based playing them in Japanese is completely pointless. Glass Rose...Hm...never heard of it, but I like the art style. I'll have to look into it.

It's an interesting game, the Japanese version does have the voice acting done by the guy from Tokio whereas the English version actually contains an unusual VA range. VAs for RE1 Jill, Rebecca, Barry, Survivor's Andy, SH4 Henry and the like. But overall, really quite a good game and if you enjoyed something like Phoenix Wright, then you'd most likely enjoy it.

You can play the disc on the PCSX2 emulator due to the lack of it being released in America. ^^

Which is why I'm in the middle of making a site on the game since the Clock Tower community refuse to accept that it is actually Clock Tower 4.

Great game though, I really only need one more piece to complete my Demento collection.

Yeah that one flew under the radar. I only got it under recommendation by Enetirnel and a few others. An excellent survival horror title.

Yeah, which was rather disappointing. On the plus side though, due to that it at the very least wasn't banned or removed from shelves.

Yeah Demento was a good game. Makes me feel like playing it again with how often you guys mention it haha.

Go and play it Alzaire! *Points at signature* PLAY IT!

Yes, they did have to pay and in some other regions people would have to pay for it too as most internet providers would also charge additional fees in order to get a stable connection purely for it.

And Snap weren't the only ones providing servers for Outbreak of the top of my head and it wouldn't have exactly been hard for there to be internal servers set up for it for a small fee.

As for the sales of Outbreak File #2, it wasn't exactly helped that Europe was completely screwed over with the first game so a lot of us weren't exactly inclined to buy the second game with promised online capabilities after the first one having been told that we could play online only to have a useless online game that we could only play offline with the AI in.

Hell, even some stores would actually MARK UP games with online features at the time so it's really a bit irritating that it wasn't exactly handled well.

And the image can be edited, notes added on there are just trying to be short and sweet so some of the notes can be misinterpreted but it was put in that spot to make a point of it being the one out of the Capcom Five that they had more or less suggested would have been ported, ended up being the only one that remained exclusive.

I mean pay to access the servers itself.
Last I heard it was roughly $10 USD or something.

Oh and after a bit of searching, apparently the Japanese servers have since shut down. So change that "are" into a "were" in my last post...

Well, they had still been kept online for quite a while considering that other regions barely had access before the servers for them were removed entirely for them so it seems like a legitimate complaint considering that Japan and America were able to play both games online for a fair amount of time.

Japan more-so than others, so it seems like a pretty cheap move to market the first Outbreak to have full online play in Europe, when it never got it.
