Inafune wanted a western touch to the DMC series because apparently the games don't sell enough worldwide.
The Japanese touch was one of the things that I liked about the series. :s
Been umming and ahhing over Papers, Please since it went up on offer. Had it I'm my cart twice but I've got a mountain of work to do and can see it being a distraction.
2? is that like 6D? I do like my white 3DS XL but then you realise you work with newspapers for the better half the day and then christ does that require high maintenance to keep clean.
grief we're finally black 3ds bros

They sell so much more now!
wait...
I don't understand what good can do abandoning existing fanbase which was no small. If they want CoD numbers... of course they want. (><)
We really need some flow of common sense in gaming industry, I mean talented people in other areas are happy to take any niche there is for their talent and are happy to find one, while devs all want to make Bibles and Titanics or CoDs, for no apparent reason. Isn't that stance kinda boring for them? I mean there is no worse job when to try to please everybody, no?

They outsource anything: Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Remember Me and now DMC. All of them turn out to be solid garbage but Capcom is relentless.

October 31 so more like 2 weeks away.
-Dead Rising 2 was well-received and added a much needed co-op mode that was wonderful.
-Remember Me was a project they picked up.
-They are perfectly capable of turning out solid garbage themselves. See: Resident Evil 5.
It'll start in the final week of October and run for a few days, so my guess is that it'll replace Midweek Madness the week of the 28th.
Didn't they had to help with DmC internally? I remember reading something along these line on gaf.
I've oddly had more fun with Capcom's outsourced and published titles this last few years than any of there in house efforts. Well except Dragon's Dogma but that's the least un-Capcom game they've made.
31st October. The day we used to hide behind the sofa with the lights out until all the little oiks round here were in bed. Because as a miserable Englishman I'd rather crowd round a bonfire complete with an effigy of a revolutionary who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament on a cold evening coupled with cheap fireworks and economy barbequed meat products than be courteous and give sweets to nice people.

They didn't outsource Remember Me, they just help publishes it, it wasn't originally Capcom's but Sony's.

Itsuno (director of DMC2-4) apparently oversaw development but I'm pretty sure that was just a PR move by Capcom to try and settle the fanbase down. Itsuno was busy directing Dragon's Dogma at the time, so I doubt he had any real input.
Edit: Speaking of Capcom, I've never understood why on earth they don't port the Ace Attorney games to every system possible. I'd quadruple dip on those games.
Itsuno and co did help out with the development later on to polish out the game, they fixed some of problems with the combat and design, the game would've been a lot different if Capcom didn't help out, it's a really competent action game.

Yea I want to play the Ace Attorney games, aren't they on iOS too and not android?
They did release Ace Attorney to iOS-devices. But not to Android

If more games were garbage like RE5 i'd be in gaming heaven.
That's my game of the gen right there.
No idea. I don't know how well they'd go down on PS3/360 but a Steam release seams like a perfect fit. The Wii versions of the first 3 are Ace (complete with Wii remote "Objection!!!" flailing) and the recent iOS version is great either on an iPhone or iPad. It can't cost that much to get a PC version up surely?
Don't worry, not unlike now with Steam sales, in a few years Capcom will realise the same thing other publishers have already noticed -- that belated PC ports are a good idea.
Edit: Here's another feel-good Steam success story, this time from Aterdux, developer of Legends of Eisenwald:

Seriously really surprised more Publishers haven't jumped on the idea yet.
Especially with games that had PC releases earlier.
I'd like for Bethesda to greenlight a PC port of Wet.
Well, we know that Sega is sitting on an internal PC port of Bayonetta. I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true of Vanquish and Anarchy Reigns, too.
That would be great! I would at least buy Bayonetta 1, if that port is ever going to happen...
Ammo isn't the problem. Health tabs/Herb replacements are the problem on anything above Easy.
Why the hell are these so rare on Veteran? I get they want to make it hard, but when I'm 1-block through the ENTIRE campaign and having to run to checkpoint-to-checkpoint just to survive? Terrible.
If that's solid garbage, they need more of that garbage than the outsourced.
Well...
Atsushi Inaba said:
That and the 3D Vision pic of Kamiya playing Bayonetta certainly says something, tech demo or not. In fact wasn't there a research thread kicking around here a few months ago?

Huh, I hadn't read that. Sounds like they played the same role Sony Cambridge did on Heavenly Sword, basically cleaning up Ninja Theory's mess.
Still not going to touch DmC unless it's part of PS+ though.
I think they'd be perfectly fine on the PS3/360, the first three were originally GBA games after all.
Yeah, though there's not much to it (points 2 and 4 in particular are one and the same). Inaba's comment seems to suggest it's just a matter of ironing out the kinks, but Sega is apparently not interested.
Ya, that was discussed on gaf at same point, too lazy to find the thread.
Ace Attorney games on PC would make too much sense, perhaps (><)
So, basically Twitter campaign bomb Sega to do it but Sega doesn't listen to their fans so it'll never happen.
Why would you do that when you could've paid the lowest it's ever been ($12) this weekend and played it at the FPS action games WANT to be played at? :/
Terrible game and horrible attempt at being a DMC aside, the 60FPS REALLY helps that game.
Sorry we must have got a little cross wired. Yeah they could totally work on them (even with gimmicky Kinect and Move support) but the question is would people buy them? I know I'd be tempted, christ even for Trophy whoring (the 50 achievements for the iOS version are quite varied) but I can only speak for myself so don't know what the consensus would be.
Ah well at this point I think anything Platinum related that would find it's way to Steam would be a smaller title at the moment outside of the Rising port. Though that's not all bad as with the very limited time they had on Rising they turned out a very tight game mechanically and I've just finished the Wonderful 101 and that's certainly a game you can't say is lacking for content. Or fun.

Why would I spend money on a game I have less than zero interest in? If I just happen to get it for free from PS+, fine, but I'm not directly spending a cent on it.

If you have less than zero interest why would you even waste the time downloading even for free?
Because gotta get that rental value out of my rental sub, dude!
Perhaps Sega is waiting to see how MGR performs before signing off on its own Platinum ports. I think the game would do quite well if it launches no later than November, with an early bird discount, and is then a featured deal during the Winter Sale, however despite Konami's promise of "soon" four months ago, it seems that boat is going to missed.
Aren't you at least a little curious? I was, 10 worth curious in fact (><)
I doubt this game will ever come to PSN plus or I wouldn't have bought it!

Did you convince Nintendo into sending you a complimentary 3ds to review it on?I guess I won't be Steaming much.
My review copy finally arrived today after the post service I use here in Norway fucked the delivery up. Was suppose to get it 1 week ago. Better late than never though.
No, since I bought a 3DS months before I started my blog. No need for a 3DS XL right now, but it seems like a cool system.

So does Nintendo.
So does every non-Norwegian speaking PR person.
Sod it I succumbed to buying Papers, Please. Despite trying to talk myself out of it by reasoning "What if it's 50, 66 or even 75% in a later sale" before realising it would be about £2 difference and I had already wasted more than that on "treating" myself to lunch.
Just started it up. Epically oppressive music, good start. What's that? Endless mode? Good grief there goes my day.

Well, Deadly Premonition is not so far off, if you are interested in. As DeusEx HR director's cut.
Mmh, let's see... based solely on Steam coming soon section I would say...
Talisman HD Prologue - Not really, as the game is not multiplayer and it would make better sense on a tablet, but these days I don't play on a tablet so...
The Stanley Parable - If the demo clicks with me.
Chaos on Deponia - Didn't play the second one but based on the first, a must play for me.
Path of Exile - I keep hearing about a really solid diablo-like.
Deus Ex HR DC - Hey, didn't play the first version, so I'm ok with this.
Deadly Premonition - Curious to see if it is wonderful or a janky mess for me.
XCOM Ennemy Within - Sorta, I'm still not sold on the base game when comparing to the rose tinted memories of the only true X-Com, but... sorta.
AssCreed Black Flag - Not yet bored with AC (disclaimer : didn't play AC3 yet
)But the fun in PC gaming is that steam is awfully bad at annoucing coming soon games and there will be easily two times more that I want.
Now if we are strictly speaking about day one purchase, well if I have the cash (difficult times + PS4 that I may or may not buy): Path of Exile and maybe Deus Ex/Deadly Premonition/XCOM.
I've heard good things about deadly premonition. I will probably get on that if the price is right. A second play through of deus ex will have to come much later.
Wasn't batman soon? Or is that one going to be bad due to lack of rocksteady?
This one's for JaseC: Knights and Merchants available on Steam
Very nice Settlers 2 clone, famous for some nasty ideas for copy protection.
