Capcom (finally) casts loving gaze at PS3

Xbox 360 is great success great success

Fernando, your rebuttal?

So long as Sony can get the PS3 console down to $399 as predicted I think its safe to say its starting to come around for Sony.. This is going to be a killer christmas/Q1 08 period for PS3.

I kinda stopped caring about Capcom after they got rid of Clover and started talking about nothing but money.

Finally, some Capcom on the PS3. Though they haven't exactly named names yet (I'm assuming Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 don't count since we already knew about those). Maybe they'll finally announce Dead Rising 2. Please Capcom. Please.

Its funny to me how a japanese video game company like Capcom seems to support the 360 much more over the PS3.

Wii is also getting the same Harvey Birdman game PS2 and PSP are. Being written, animated, and voiced by the same staff as the show, I'm sure there's no way High Voltage can screw it up.

Oh noes.. now they only have PSP games to port to the Wii.

I think this is the stance that all third party company's should be taking, no exclusives. Exclusives should be done by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft only. Consoles are expensive, at least capcom can let me enjoy ALL of their games on one machine, rather than having to buy all of them. Good for them and us the consumer.

Alright Konami, Namco, Squarenix, Bioware, 2K, Tecmo, and Epic, here is your que.

LOLz!

How is it that people feel that the PS3 is actually losing out on Capcom "love" when they probably have better games (and potentially previously 360 only releases) coming out for them than the Wii has?

well the point is this, Sony is saying how the ps3 is much more advanced than the 350, which in the long run probally is, but will it matter if 3rd party development uses the 360 as the lowest common denominator, sure in 4 years or so the ps3 games will run at 10 frames faster and have a shinier light effect but that will be all the difference.

no exclusives mean underpowered ps3 games and extra heat producing 360 consoles

I really don't like what the wii is getting from Capcom. Why are we getting garbage games. Umbrella Chronicles is cool, but its not RE5......and Zack & Wiki.....what the hell is that crap.

I think I'm gonna go cry.

Since, as you pointed out, Nintendo wasn't mentioned by Capcom here, I'm not sure why we're obliged to bring them up.

If you put them in every article, people will start to think Joystiq is a casual gaming site. Oh noes. :(

I love how the 'dismally boring' resident evil link is to an april 2007 article... the game has reportedly had severe improvements since then, guys. you must have a more recent article than that. what a joke.

when the cube was crap .... capcom loved it and released lots of new stuff
now that the wii is awesome ... they go to the ps3 ?

i don't want to tell that the ps3 is a gamecube (again) ... i want a real resident evil, a new viewtiful joe and more cool and style games like the others ON WII =/

My two cents:

I have not been a big fan of Sony the past few years. Mainly because they try to push propriatory formats on us. However, since the PSP launch, they have re-designed it and also proved to many of us that although it won't be a format adopted by 'everyone', it still supports it's own format by it's continued use of UMD. For example, it's like the Game Cube's 'propriatory' format, it's used by Sony only, not adopted for use by everyone to use on different machines/technology. I never had a problem with Sony using UMD for it's PSP, I just didn't want other devices to become dependent on it as their media source.

Now with that blurb out of the way, I'm hoping for a lot of things, mainly for Sony to realize that Blu Ray can be used for its games on the PS3 and maybe even creating a UMD type media that uses Blu Ray technology (10Gig 'UMD's anyone?). Now that would be nice.

As it is, I think HD-DVD is fine for movies to the general public and then Blue Ray could be an exclusive media format for the Sony PS3 and possible future PSP devices. I could live with that. Then obvisoulsy (for now until new Xbox comes out) the PS3 would have single disc space advantage over current gen consoles. It needs to be able to do SOMETHING that other consoles can't do right now and that's definitely one.

Either way, I know I will be getting a PS3 eventually, just to be able to play Sony's exclusive titles. And I'm almost willing to bet that the PS3 will become the console of choice for (J)RPG genre software companies due to the PS3's media capacity and their software's 'not-so-technology-dependent' console hardware specs.

Like I said, my two cents...

Once the PS2 goes, then the decline begins for the Wii. Cross platform titles would be mostly PSP ports, along with first party DS ports. Handhelds will eventually take over the casual gamers, while the 360 and PS3 fight over the hardcore gamers.

need to maximize profits? pledge development for the PS3!

what a fucking joke.

-"superfan" tactics.

Interestingly, no mention of the Wii was made in the company's cross platform plans, though it seems likely that the console's nature will continue to spark more unique efforts like the dismally boring Umbrella Chronicles...


Ouch...

Its all nice and good, but lets see Okami on 360. HD & Achievments :) :) :)
