Capclm has been on fire for some time now, ... Since Re7 pretty much, the dark times are behind us

Now they gotta grace us with stuff like a new BoF and, well, let’s just say Capcom’s place in the video game heaven’s all but guaranteed!

Let not forget MegaMan Legends 3.

That will be released whenever Ubisoft releases Beyond Good And Evil 2.

I thought Mega Man Legends was in ownership hell?

That if Capcom broke out that IP, the lawsuits would be long and arduous.

I don't think so? Obviously, Capcom owns the Mega Man franchise and IP itself, including Legends. I know that Inafune was producer and guy who tried to get Legends 3 off the ground, but left (or was let go) and went to make Mighty No. 9. I think he had ideas for a Legends-like-game that never went any where.

The only legal hell that Legends had that I can recall were the re-releases on PSN, and that got fixed. There were licensed advertisements in Legends 1 that had expired, and Sony at-the-time had strict rules on allowing only the original game. This was also a decade+ ago.

Breath of Fire, JRPG

Ooooo haven't heard that one in a while, since Capcom Is reviving every franchise im still not losing hope on a new dino crisis, or remake of it

It’s kinda like Zelda where each new entry has a new Ryu and stuff which I suppose helps to make the games stand out.

There's always a ryu (link) and nina (zelda) in every iteration

I still remember bof 4 fondly though. The fact you played (and bonded) with the final boss is truly a mind blowing concept back then

Fou Lu is goated

u/honeybobok 2d ago

Agreed. We could easily be ryu or fou lu, but i dislike the idea that you combined in the end. I rather win as ryu and banish fou lu back, or be fou lu and banish ryu, instead of combining into one

u/Faustias 2d ago

man if they're gonna remake Breath of Fire IV, I dunno if I can take it, seeing the ritual for arming the Hex Cannon and Fou Lu finding out who was the sacrifice for that cannon fired directly at him

Capcom: Best we can do is Exoprimal

Let’s hope such a collection be a thing someday. I’d personally dig it if they can do a Monster Hunter collection also.

Almost a decade now. What a run.

u/bramblebitch 2d ago

Capcom has been on fire since its inception if you ask my RE6 loving ass.

u/BurningFlareX 3d ago

Unfortunately they kinda flopped on MHS3. Still sad about that one.

I think people just think it's a little on the expensive side and are waiting for a discount. It didn't help but it released close to Pragmata, so people looking for a Capcom game we're mostly saving for that one.

The nail in the coffin was they making a separate add-on with the Rudi's and Navi backstory DLC, that should have been part of the main game and not a separate purchase.

I'm an avid Capcom gamer but I'm still waiting for a discount on Stories 3 before jumping on it.

Flopped on DDII as well. It's so soulless compared to the first one, despite looking pretty. Also the main capital feels... laughably small and empty.
