If they were to buy Capcom and back it with some great funding, I believe MS could do great things with the name - especially Megaman.

There's very little to convince me Microsoft knows how to operate Japanese developers. They'd have the franchises and put out Westernized games under their banner - AKA what got Capcom in the shithole to begin with.
I much rather Sony or Nintendo. |

I'd rather none of the console manufacturers buy Capcom. Don't want to see their library of IPs forced to a single console. Not good for consumers, not good for their IPs.

Weekend News Edition
According to Game Informer, your likely better off on average just buying select games from PSN or retail stores than renting them using the upcoming Playstation Now service based on the beta.
In an email sent, Sony deflected blame for the pricing saying it was left entirely in the hands of developers and publishers. GI's chart comparing around half the games available shows the 4 Hour option and 90 Day option as the source of pricing problems. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featur...expensive.aspx |

Maybe if they get scattered to the wind we will see some of the franchises they neglect actually be used again. Thinking along the lines of Megaman and Okami, for starters. Fucking capcom.

It won't matter if they're not build right. There's already solid replacements coming for their own stuff. Mighty #9 looks more than worthy. Evil Within is the true successor to RE4 before things got weird. And Bayonetta is just a better action game than DMC. All of them done by ex Capcom staff.

I wasn't a HUGE Halo mark from the beginning, but I do enjoy the game quite a bit. It was my first online shooter on X Box. Spartan Assault is so-so, but leaves more to be desired. I would like for someone to do a modern Smash TV remake, that would be hellafun.
I am on 6-2 on Max, Mustachio's Lair or something, I assume I am close to finishing the game. |
