Capcom wants to revitalize DMC, Mega Man, and Ace Attorney series with new titles and remakes

I'd love to get:
  • A classic Mega Man 12 (like Mega Man 11)
  • A rebooted and a small AAA cel shaded Mega Man Legends 3 updating its visuals and specially gameplay but keeping similar artstyle and vibes
  • AAA Final Fight remake/reboot of Final Fight 1, 2 and 3 as a single game that would mix beat'em ups and hack & slash gameplay and concepts
  • Final Fight 4 following the style of the Final Fight reboot
  • AAA Bionic Commando remake/reboot that would mix beat'em ups and hack & slash gameplay and concepts
  • Dino Crisis trilogy remade as a single game
  • Dino Crisis 4 remake
  • Devil May Cry 1+2+3 remade as a single game
  • Devil May Cry 6
  • AAA 3D Ghost & Goblins with classic artstyle and characters but gameplay updated making it a bit more souls like or adding roguelite stuff
  • Darkstalkers 4 (I know it isn't possible, there's only market and resources for SF, and wouldn't sell enough)
  • Capcom vs SNK 3 (I know it isn't possible, there's only market and resources for SF, and wouldn't sell enough)
That's not Dino Crisis.
It isn't limited to these 3, notice that when they mentioned series not as important as MH, RE and SF to revive they said:

"Capcom owns a wealth of globally popular brands, such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney"

Remember they're also resurrecting Onimusha and Okami.

These series haven't been really dead for too long (Ace Attorney as of August 2017, Mega Man as of October 2018, Devil May Cry as of March 2019) and were already part of their core IP lineup. What changed this generation?
During their years they released rehashed ports and compilations for these IPs (and other ones).

They have limited resources, and every generation AAA games require more resources. Mega Man and Ace Attorney never had great sales, so they focused their resources where they saw more potential: RE, MH, SF, Dragon's Dogma 2, plus upcoming new entries of Onimusha and Okami, plus investing in a few new IPs like Pragmata, Exoprimal or Kunitsu-Gami. In addition to many ports and compilations as usual.

They are milking MH, RE and SF at full steam, and some new IPs they tried didn't work, so to continue growing they'll try to revive old IPs trying to turn them into core IPs.

Meanwhile Breath of Fire fans:

Come on Capcom give us remasters at least.

I think even Capcom forgot about Breath of Fire. Once they run out of emulated collections of better selling games, they might do one including the whole series.

what the fuck did they do to that franchise

Started with So much potential then they turned it to some generic anime slop and it DIED

One of the only publishers if not the only publisher who has the luxury to go retro and modern cutting edge graphics style at the same time.
 
Isn't there rumor that they've been working on a new Ace Attorney game for a while?

Really hope it's true. Nice charming franchise, some fond memories playing on GBA in middle school classroom.
 
I don't really trust modern Capcom, but I believe Shu Takumi is still around so more Ace Attorney is welcome.
 
Bring back Viewtiful Joe please!
 
Man, I don't have the patience for more remakes, let alone remasters. RE2make was great, but I'm not terrible impressed with the more recent efforts.
 
MegaMan should look at ReCore for its core gameplay inspiration.

ReCore is a game that mixes good 3D platforming and laser gun combat really well.
it released insanely unfinished and has had some questionable designs choices, but the core moment to moment gameplay would fit a 3D MegaMan X game pretty much perfectly
 
Metroidvania Megaman

An interconneted world with boss key / upgrade progression with 8 diferente biomes a lots of hidden upgrades.

Mega Man is played out.

I'm not sure than game needs to be open world, not every game need to be open world.

It was just some sarcasm 🥸

Let's hope they don't drift too far from what makes the other games work, both in presentation and gameplay
 
DMC 5 is the best selling game in the franchise. It doesn't need a reboot to revitalize anything..
Probably they don't have a director at this point, hence easier to do remakes?
 
It's been more than 6 years since DMC 5.
A DMC reboot with a young Dante (ala DMC 3) would be nice, or, DMC 6 but no lame V gimmicks and no breakable devil arms, didn't like that stuff too much.

Bring back Mega Man Universe.

Mario Maker has shown that there's clearly a market for this sort of game so they need to bring back the canceled Megan Man Universe game that got canned 15 years ago.
 
They should at least do one of their collections for Mega Man Legends. The Battlenet collection came out of nowhere and was very good IMO.
Hell yes, and get The Misadventures of Tron Bonne in there! That's actually secretly the best MegaMan game that no one played.
 
Mega Man can easily be reboot with a style inspired by Vanquish, with TPS and all sorts of gimmicks. Platinum could even be the primary dev team
 
Yes more remakes. They have such a huge catalog to bring back again. DMC definitely could use a remake. And megaman do something with it, anything.
 
That sounds like a perfect way to handle legends 3 lol. Legends 1 did interconnection very well.
 
Careful what you ask for. New Megaman will be tailored to suit new audiences (again) and will feature current trends in manga/anime.
Both Gravity Circuit and much later Abyss X Zero(it will be the MML3 I always wanted) have my Megaman needs covered. So I can't care a whole lot about what Capcom does with the IP anymore. Nor do I ever expect the cliffhanger in ZX Advent to EVER be resolved.



And besides Pragmata in it's own way will be Capcom's more modern Megaman game.
 
If they want to remake DMC's, for the love of god, please do not use real person faces! They ruined every character's faces on the DMC5.

Please use the third or better, fourth one.
