Ah yes Capcom utterly buttfucking people's favorite franchises. Seems to be their specialty.

And it might not even come to western shores. Capcom, what the hell is wrong with you.

[PSI Wind]

We haven't even seen gameplay. It might not be bad. Besides, I heard the last BoF was crappy and the sales weren't very good.

*Walks in*

*Sees platforms*

[Remy]

There are not enough depressed standing in the rain gifs in the entire internet.

[SuperLink]

Absolutely no one is happy about this. Capcom just don't know how to make their fans happy at all anymore.

Pretty sure "social game" speaks for itself.

[Balding Spider]

 

I'm laughing because I saw it coming the moment the title was announced.

[Jin.]

>PC

Welp, no problems here.

[Dobkeratops]

Megaman, DMC, BoF... at this rate the next Ace Attorney is going to be a Facebook/Mobile game wherein you farm evidence on a daily basis (but thankfully you can buy +1000 evidence packs @ $5 each!)

 

Crossing my fingers for this to bomb hard and everyone responsible for its approval fired and banned from videogames forever.

Excuse my not know but what platform was this originally on? Playstation?

[Dobkeratops]

1-2 are SNES, 3-4 PS1, 5 was on PS2. There's been ports to GBA and PSP of the first three.

 

BoF6 is the first brand new entry in more than 10 years, and we get this filth.

 

Jesus.

Capcom - "We tried but the fans just weren't interested. No more Breath of Fire ever. This is your fault. Shame on you."

Oh for fucks sakes, that was CAPCOM of Europe, not the Japanese division.

Social mobile gaming is a fate worse than death, so I'll take that.

[Candescence]

If fans buy the game, Capcom will get the wrong message and think that this is the right way to go with the franchise.

 

If fans don't buy the game, Capcom will also get the wrong message and think that nobody wants more games in the series.

 

Basically, it's a lose-lose situation.

[SIXTH-RATE SOMA]

Basically, it's a lose-lose situation.

 

Welcome to the new Capcom, comrade. If you want to know how this plays out ahead of time, see: DmC, Resident Evil 6, Rockman XOVER, and many other modern classics.

[Teoskaven]

I defended Capcom for titles like Bionic Commando, Dark Void and recently Remember Me.

I defended Capcom for Ultimate Marvel 3.

I defended Capcom for the Street Fighter x Tekken DLC fiasco.

I even defended Capcom for the Asura's Wrath DLC finale.

 

But this? This is simply a giant middle finger thrusted in the rears of the fans who stayed loayal for all this years, wanting a new BoF game.

It's unexcusable, and shameful.

 

Now i know how Megaman fans feel.

[Candescence]

I defended Capcom for titles like Dark Void and recently Remember Me.

 

Well, to be perfectly fair, both of those titles didn't have bad concepts, and indeed had some pretty sweet ideas, they just weren't as amazing as they could've been. Remember Me in particular at least deserves praise for trying to go for a new IP with a female protagonist, even if the quality of the game itself is much more subjective. Those games tried to do something new and try to stand out from the pack, but they just weren't quite so good, and that happens, unfortunately, it can't be helped sometimes.

 

Now, this? This is inexcusable.

now.. how to play part 5 without going near a PS2..

[Skyward Sword]

I won't be ticked off by this too much unless they announce it as a social game. It already looks half-assed as it is, but it's where the money is I guess.

[SuperLink]

I used to love Capcom so much, but stuff like this makes me increasingly sad.

 

I wonder if there's absolutely anything the fans can do to give Capcom a reality check so they go back to how they used to be. :c

Sigh.

[buba]

Oh boy, Breath of Fire 6 announ-

 

 

What's next? The Darkstalkers revival will be an iOs card game?

[SuperLink]

What's next? The Darkstalkers revival will be an iOs card game?

The Darkstalkers are dead (there isn't going to be a revival)

 

To be honest though, I'd rather the Darkstalkers remain dead than have a shit """tribute""" like this to their name.

[Senator NinjaShark]

dunno if this is gonna stop the Carboat from heading towards the next Iceberg, but this is probably related
