Capcom really improved by leaps and bounds since SFV and taking Resident Evil in the right direction.
There are remasters and remakes, and then there are Capcom Resident Evil remakes. They have handled each one so beautifully. I am just really hoping they continue and remake RE1, and of course my beloved Code: Veronica. After that, they can be done lol. RE5 and RE6 are, well, not the greatest to begin with haha but that isn't why I think they should be left out. There were both PS3-era originals, so as such, they are already in a much higher degree of fidelity than the PS1 and PS2 games. Also, both RE5 and RE6 have HD Remasters on the PS4, which in turn play just fine on PS5.
Totally agree with you. At most for 5 and 6 they can make a budget deal where you pick 4+5+6 for a small additional cost.
Capcom is one of the most on fire publishers out there!
Nobody makes better games. They deserve it.
Fair play to Capcom. I had little confidence in Capcom after PS3/360, but I took a chance with Resident Evil 2 (remake) when it was discounted. It was sensational. It was so good I bought RE4 remake day 1. They have done really well with a unique product line. Hope to see them continue the good work.
Continue to make great games and ramp the numbers up.
These guyz should be getting more sales unlike stupid sports games call of booty games...
It's about time people choose the quality over trash product!
Massive congrats to Capcom for an outstanding comeback king story
I'm waiting for Asura's Wrath Definitive Edition and Mega Man Legends Collection
Nice. But I gotta say that long term goal of selling 100 million games per year is, ehh, let's say ambitious.
Oh damn, I completely missed that! Considering they haven't even sold half that this past year, while also being their greatest selling year ever is very......interesting to say the least lol
If they make the effort to get there, we'll get some very good games out of it. I think it's doable, it's just not going to be easy.
