- there was a time when Capcom had a rule a against making anything but sequels
- the rule specifics required 70 to 80% sequels with the remaining 20% being new titles, but in practice any suggestion for a new title would not receive approval
- Inafune ignored this rule, started creating Lost Planet and Dead Rising, and then saw both pitches turned down
- Inafune ignored this response and continued developing the games anyway
- Capcom has a budget for making prototypes
- Inafune went past the budget for making prototypes, hoping that his progress with the new title would force Capcom into greenlighting the project
- both games turned out to be successful, but Inafune was prepared to be fired for his decision

Wow... even I didn't think it was that bad. No wonder there was such a mass exodus of talent from that company.

Uh, what?

It isn't major that Capcom had a "nothing but sequels" rule in place?

It isn't major that this company was so fucking stupid that they wouldn't greenlight new IPs from fucking Keiji Inafune?

It isn't major that the former head of software development had to put his own employment at risk just to get a game as incredible as Dead Rising on the shelves?

Capcom really is Activision East.

There are quite a few major Crapcom apologists on this site. That's why I posted it.

yeah, its nothing major. this is how most businesses work, they play it safe.

Nintendo cranks out sequels just as bad as Capcom ever has. No big deal really, just because something is a sequel doesnt mean its flawed or not innovative.

When people goto work, they dont discuss ideology, they discuss how to make money. Capcom is no different.

im not a Capcom apologist, youre just a Capcom alarmist.

I really dont care what goes on with Capcom aside from SF and RE.

Shit, i bet if they made a reality show about what they do on a day to day basis with capcom, youd be making a new thread about them every 10 minutes (in addition to the massive amounts of posts about them you already make)

1. Nintendo has published over 20 new IPs this generation alone, and not a single Nintendo franchise has suffered the fatigue and whoring that Mega Man, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, etc have suffered.

2. Many of these situations I post about are unique to Capcom, while others aren't. Either way, it represents a troubling trend in the video game industry and continuing to support said trends will only make things worse.

Capcom is doing just as much damage to the industry as Activision and EA, which is why everyone who had any sense bailed out of the company.

yeah nintendo did tend to break away from its usual way of doing things, too bad most of the new ips are absolutely terrible.

Zelda has the same fatigue. Ever since Ocarina of Time, Zelda has been pretty bad. Majoras Mask was rushed, Wind Waker was meh, Twilight Princess was a rehash meant for fan service only.

to be honest though, theyve all been reusing puzzles, and other gameplay elements from oot

Every Star Fox game theyve made has been essentially a remake of the first one, excluding ONE of the times they outsourced it and it was one of the biggest disappointments on the gamecube

How long have people been demanding another earthbound game? How long were people demanding super sf 4 before they got it?

Lets not forget how evil Nintendo was (yes, EVIL) in the past, mario 2 wasnt even a mario game, just Doki Doki Panikku with different sprites! boycott nintendo!

You never see capcom doing that.

this is nintendo:

that last little bit was incredible awesome even if it was a gross misrepresentation of both companies (and clearly just a jab at Jason for the sake of pissing him off)

Sequels were MANDATORY COMPANY POLICY?

Well, shit, that explains a lot, especially how they wouldn't even make proper sequels to existing games-a phenomenon we call Capcom Sequel Stagnation. Gee, I wonder why...
