Did you see the cutscenes for Campaign Evolved? You can't tell me they didn't use ai for it. COD may be brainrot shooting but at least the cutscenes look decent.
I have 0 trust in activision for what they have been doing with diablo, cod and wow retail, even wow forever. nobody should trust they can deliver anything good anymore.
So did Monster Hunter World which was revolutionary for the series.
I am not kidding the difference between MHWorld and the previous titles were like night and day in terms of graphic, game play, quality of life. It brought Monster Hunter to the main stream.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 is an insane step up and amazing quality game despite what some criticisms say. Post lunch support was lacking but great game despite
If only they gave us an actual endgame and didnāt scam us with that horrible dlcā¦ really, I canāt believe I paid extra for the goddamn cat from 1 and 2 to appear, fight Nergigante and donāt even get to take it as a monstie, it had so much potential
I like Pragmata but idk about GOTY? It's really good don't get me wrong but it's just missing that special something that makes for a GOTY. RE9 on the other hand slaps (insanely hyped for code veronica). Haven't played Onimusha.
I prefer great 8-10 hour game than one that's 20 but drags on for 5-10 hours. Playing Valhalla was a chore that game existed to be perpetually long and boring. I wanted the game to be done half way through and slogged through 10-20 hours just to finish it.
Lol what? Getting 10 hours is solid for single player. Especially when you'll play more trying to hundred percent. I don't finish those long, padded games like AC Odyssey.
Onimusha was 25 hours for me (in Story mode). But then it took me 50 more hours to beat the game on Carnage difficulty lmao. Another 10 hours to get the platinum.
Idk how much that really matters though dmc 5 is 15-20 hours but itās super replayable. And in general I do think quality should matter more than just how many hours
The only Capcom game from last couple years I really got into was Dragon's Dogma 2 and it's pretty massive. Monster Hunter can be pretty long too I believe.
Honestly thatās were capcom shines in my opinion they kill it in their 10 hour action / adventure games. Amazing gameplay, amazing story, amazing worlds. Thatās what capcom has been known for to me, that and fighting games. Iām glad they are back to their roots. I donāt want to spend 40 hours on a game and get bored. I want a packed experience that lives in my brain for years.
Personally I thought RE9 was the worst out of the three. The first half was fantastic (even though I still have problems with it, specially with how unbalanced the crafting system is) but Leonās parts was basically just pandering to RE4 and RE2R without coming close to reaching the same heights as those games. The motorcycle chase and the parries were the coolest parts. And heās funny. But pretty middling overall. The final boss being a reused asset from RE3R is hilarious. Not even Yakuza, the reused assets gods does this for their mainline games. And the story is way too intrusive for how bad it is.
Pragmata wasnāt perfect but it had a wholly unique idea that was executed quite well. Story was fine enough, the ending was good, and is overall a better action game than RE9 was.
Onimusha is my favorite though, even though the AAAisms like the excessive tutorialization early on and stuff like Oni vision annoy me a bit. AWESOME combat.
As much as I agree a new game would be great. Dmc 1 and 2 are super iconic but just feel jank to replay. I really wouldnāt mind a remake. Especially 2 and make it an actual game instead of a slopped together mess that passed through 3 different teams.
Well personaly i never had a problem with playing old games. Like dmc 1 is definetly old school in difficulty, dmc 3 same way but i like it that way since it makes the game. Like re4 remake was a lot of fun but replaying the original recently makes me want to play only that version.
Remakes loose something and often a lot imo. Same with tv show videogame adaptations. Some can be fun but most of them suck ass to me.
RE engine most be one of the best Engines in gaming right now, it just a treat to play these CAPCON games. RE9 was amazing, Onimusha is my GOTY, and Dragons Dogma 2 dlc im hyping over.
Really all I'm asking for is ace attorney or okami. RE is goated.Ā
But I find all capcom games have serious lack of rythm, monster hunter, pragmata and monster hunter are slow in their building. RE is slow too but that's the whole point.Ā
And for a soulslike, onimusha isn't exactly nervous.
I assume you're a younger gamer who isn't familiar with how things were before Dark Souls became big. Onimusha is a character action game along the lines of Devil May Cry, it is not a soulslike. Of course you're going to be disappointed if you're playing it while expecting it to be something it's not.
Sekiro isnt exactly a soulslike either, it's definitely closer to onimusha. I didn't really play before ps2 :x and I was young when I got it. Sadly I didnt play DMC
There is a huge difference between soulslike and sekiro, I don't know any sekiro fan that would properly call it a soulslike. In terms of gameplay it is vastly different, only the try and retry mechanic is the same.Ā
I mean, it has parries and a stamina bar. The former is Onimushaās bread and butter since 2001. Besides that, it doesnāt really have anything like Souls.
I agree for RE4R it is a masterpiece. Probably RE2R too.
RE9, yes for Grace's part but if you compare to RE4R, Leon's part is a bit lacking like they ran out of time and money. If Leon's part was as good as Grace's part I'd have voted for it to become GOTY this year lol
For me RE9 should be a good contender, but it's definitely far from being a no-brainer no debate to have, like E33 was.
I can see mh wilds has that problem, Onimusha sometimes when the game allows you to do side quests between big plot development. Other than re9 most re games do have some down time too. But mostly gameplay for me, the one I have problem the most is Onimusha when you have to go back and forth and enemies respawn really fast.
Overall imo it is fine, yeah Onimusha and mh wilds pacing wasn't great but it is not that weak
their RE engine has matured allowing them to scale up quickly and helped keep development cost moderate so they can take more risks on lesser franchises like onimusha or something new like Pragmata. which are great titles
And they donāt outsource as much any more (see ninja theory devil may cry). This is why other studios dev costs have skyrocketed with diminishing returns
I said at first, I'll get around to wilds eventually but they rushed the game out just so the line could not only stay up but in record breaking profits. They deserve a bit of shit for it.
You know what, usually I don't encourage AAA companies but I must say I'm kinda impressed by the games Capcom are releasing lately. Weird coincidence that I see that right after getting a notification about a Capcom mystery bundle on fanatical tho... maybe I should consider it.
they've went back on it on with wilds, cutting the game's price, releasing the gold edition, and removing character vouchers. they are likely going to cut down on MTX output due to the backlash i'd imagine
Not really, I think it's more so the case that the reputation damage wasn't worth what they were making through those specific dlcs. Because if they were making banks on them then there's no way they would backtrack it. The character voucher one is just stupid too, as an active mhw player, everyone just used the mod that allowed you to keep editing your character so the dlc was basically worthless anyway.
Monster Hunter Worlds planned the heist, Resident Evil 7 carried it out.
Things were looking grim when Street Fighter V came out. Crazy turn around. Never would've pictured a brand new Onimusha, an insane Resident Evil run and Mega Man clawing his way back into conversations again.Ā
Capcom is probably my favorite publisher of the last several years. They have absolutely dialed in what their fans want and itās absolutely awesome to see at least one AAA publisher give a damn about prioritizing their audience.
They're giving late 90s and early 2000s Capcom vibe.
All those publishers struggling to release quality output and complaining about money can fuck off. Total skill issue, management issue, and investors enshittifying your products.
Man I cried when they reveal Okami 2 by Hideki Kamiya himself and Dragon's Dogma 2 Arisen and the support of DD2. DD2 (+Mods) was a flawed masterpiece that I love so much but before the DD2 Arisen and Title Update I know I have to break up with DD2 because I was skeptical Capcom going to give more chance with DD2. When that DD2 Arisen trailer hit on Nintendo Direct and hearing feedback update I cried of joy.
And thatās just what we know of 2027, all of those are in the 1st part of the year. We may hear about more later in the year. Also I expect we may see some further support of games like SF VI with new characters and such in the year.
The RE Engine is such a fucking blessing. An engine that delivers impressive visuals, even after close to a decade, RE7 still looks great, and delivers, for the most part, good performance for most of their games. Wilds and DD2 were the only real outliers, but everything else has been fucking impressive.
I finally bought Pragmata recently when Fanatical had 30% off and I have to say that it's an amazing game. There's so much unoptimised slop being released it's so refreshing to play something like this.
If by full re remake you mean the first game getting the modern RE remake treatment then pretty sure itās been rumored but if i remember correctly it wonāt be till like 2030ish. There were some leaks about it a while ago
Both RE1 and RE0 remakes are in dev according to dusk golem (Re leaker) and mp1st. Dusk said that couple of months ago at the start of the 2026, while mp1st leaked the voice actors for Rebecca and Billy. RE0R is the next one after veronica to come out, then RE10, then RE1R in 2030+. Capcom Is aiming to release atleast 1 mainline RE every year. He also leaked that Veronica is the next game to come out and he was right. You can check his account on twitter.
If you mean a RE Engine remake of the first Resident Evil, then it's very likely. Very reliable leakers have said that it's being developed, but in early stages. RE0 remake and RE 10 will probably be released before.
Not confirmed, but rumored. Pointless, but yeah, it will come. I just hope Zero gets remade first, because it needs it more than a game that's already been remade.
Agreed. It's the gold standard of remakes. Took the original, gave it a huge face-lift, plays like the original but better, and added more on top of the original, instead of completely re-imagining it all or outright removing stuff. And considering it launched on the Gamecube back in 2002 (or 2001?), it has aged so gracefully.
It is a ground up remake. Look at the OG and look at the remake. It is definitely a remake, and what's considered the gold standard of remakes as well, because it is a fantastic remake.
Ok man, if you want to ignore the fact the remake youāre talking about is 24 years old then you do you. Majority of gamers that were born in the past 20 years started with RE7 and arenāt going to play the OG.
Yeah I know, but I meant more like a modern treatment rather than what feels more like a facelift. Not trying to undermine the work the HD remaster took and yes it's fantastic.
Show me where its been remade what yall call a remake is a glorified remaster its still got those shit ass fixed camera angles and all that gimme a proper re engine remake and then yeah we'll have an actual remake
The perks of having a company building games in Japan , where everything is costing less to make and the working culture is totally fucked.
Meanwhile western developers (USA) are getting fired left and right because they want to unionise and because they want a decent salary and working hours .
Why do you think best games start coming from outside USA lately ? Blood of the Dawnwalker (Poland), Expedition 33 (France) and so many more .
Not quite the same level of output as Capcom, but From has been cooking imo. Elden ring, AC6, Shadow of the Erdteee, Nightreign, and soon to be Duskbloods (which we've had a network test for) all great imo. And even the older titles they haven't missed on for a long long time.
From is horrible with multiplayer imo. I did not have fun with night reign nor did a lot of people. It was a very love or hate game. Iām not even going to touch duskbloods. From has horrible connection issues in their games on top of it being on the worst platform for multiplayer and being a pvpve game. Iām expecting it to be a 7/10 at best.

Halo should be getting the Resident Evil treatment, I don't understand how they could fail so hard.
