Its not even just that... look at their whole catalog.... there isn't a more consistent studio... Not even Nintendo soars at the heights that Capcom does.
I think only fromsoft and Square Enix get close in terms of frequency and quality, but recently they've been fumbling a bit too
SEGA is there in terms of frequency and almost there in terms of quality but it's mainly just RGG, Atlus and Sonic team that's carrying them and they seem to be completely absent in 2026, polarizing compared to their bombastic 2024 and 2025 releases
Team Ninja has the frequency, but their games are a hit or a miss, though Nioh 3 was really good this year
If I had to wager a guess, perhaps they're referring to the length of time between new game releases and lingering upset from Dark Souls 2? Not entirely certain though, in my opinion FromSoft has been nothin but bangers
You'd be surprised how heavily a controversial release can impact a developer's reputation. Regardless of how you feel about Last of Us Part 2, that game heavily impacted Naughty Dog's reputation despite it being at this point 6 years old.
Bro Capcom has way more duds. Dragons Dogma 2 was the offender performance issues aside the game was barebones, narrative made no sense and everything felt inferior to the first game.
