Those forecasts sound like they have an esports title planned for this FY. Would be impressed if they're trying to grow that sector with only SFV.

Capcom Q4 FY2018-2019 Results : RE2 exceeded Expectations , DMCV performed strongly , MM11 and SF 30th Performed Well
- Thread starter Ryuichi Naruhodo
- Start date
For PS5.
If nothing else just so they can implement LDK and turbo without melting the PS4 or something.
Watch it have a Legacy bundle with all the games again.
I hope they plan to master AA4, AA5 and AA6 as a second trilogy. I guess at this point it's safe to assume future PW titles will be coming to all platforms, right?
Come on Capcom we need Remaster of Dino Crisis and a new Ghouls n Ghosts. Possibly Capcom Arcade Collection for switch.
Also given what it says about VR in the comments section will we be getting more VR games going forward?
Great news!!! Now it's time for RE3, Dino Crisis or Onimusha. Keep releasing strong titles Capcom.
They just released MM11 last October. So they still are (and yeah it got a physical release, but its still a smaller title akin to their last gen digital offerings). Plus they still do loads of compilations (Beat em up collection, MM/X collections etc.)
And not to mention Capcom already mentioned that they'll be doing more smaller revivals of older franchises, presumeably in a MM11 way (smaller budget and such) so its just a matter of waiting for them to announce them. MM11 clearly did well enough for them, so we'll probably get something announced this year, maybe MMX, GnG if not Bionic Commando, 19XX, Commando...
That's cool....but they can still make mo.............why won't you let me be selfish. :)
- Monster Hunter World
the Monster Hunter series contributed significantly to improving profits: flagship title Monster Hunter: World (for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One), which was a phenomenal success in the previous fiscal year, maintained popularity through the expansion of its user base, while the Steam version for PC also performed solidly, boosting profits
- Monster Hunter Generations
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (for Nintendo Switch) enjoyed robust sales through its release in markets outside of Japan
This makes my heart SING
BRING ME MORE MH!
Further, Monster Hunter: World, which shook up the market last year, broke 12 million cumulative units shipped following the additional release of the PC version, marking a record high for any single title in the Company's history
LIKE COME ON!!! WOOOOOO!

Yes I believe so in this article https://www.gamesindustry.biz/artic...ull-year-results-boosted-by-software-strength
it states "Capcom is to making this sector a priority area, and aims to grow the player base worldwide through running leagues that utilize Street Fighter,"
Am I reading it correctly in that their FY2020 Forecast is even higher than 2018's? If so I wonder what the heck they could be hiding for that kind of massive jump. Monster Hunter and more old ports are a given, but to match last year they're going to need at least a couple megatons.
Iceborne in 2019 is all we need!
But seriously I have no idea what else in in the pipes. Hopefully a Breath of Fire revival? :p
Lets just pretend BOF6 doesn't exist. Thats how I cope with it
IIRC their non-next generation titles seem to be:
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
Ace Attorney
"A game that people are going to be surprised they're making" (Reboot)
Rumored Monster Hunter Switch exclusive
Rumored Resident Evil 3 developed by an external partner
Mega Man X9 seemingly
Nice to hear about this very well deserved success
Now, where's Dragon's Dogma 2 damn it
Now, where's Dragon's Dogma 2 damn it
Slant Six is back bros
If they make it we are likely looking at a 2022 next gen title at this point
I don't mind the wait, what kills me is the uncertainty. If they just come out and say "hey, there's a new Dragon's Dogma in development", I can wait as long as it takes.
Here's hoping RE3 made by a mystery dev doesn't end up being a disaster after such great internally made RE games lately.
it's a good thing ArcSys, SNK and Namco are covering that front well 😏
I wouldn't doubt something like switch first then mobile/console ports like the 3DS games. AA is deeply tied to portables after all
Good for you Capcom. I bought DMC5 on hype alone and in hope for future things.
Now give me my R3make. Give it to me! I'll pay!

I think it's digital game sales + DLC and IAP from both digital and retail games + extra revenue for having their games on PS Now/Gold/PS+/etc.
The fiscal year ended in March, so we don't know how much more it sold since then.
"Performed well" for Mega Man 11 has me anxious. I'm not sure what the internal expectations for the game were, but I can't imagine that they were thinking it would do gangbusters, necessarily. Sure, there's still a want and demand for Mega Man games, but the way they marketed 11 always made it seem like a slightly-higher-budget version of 9 and 10, as opposed to some significant entry in the mainline series. (I realize it is a mainline entry, but it's more about how it was pitched to the public at large. AAA, this ain't.)
RE2 Remake isn't highest of budg. but it's definitely one of them. Thanks to their photogrammetry pipeline I think they managed to create a visually stunning game without spending all the money, but according to credits the game has a shitton of outsourced parts, and was most definitely a big undertaking.
Hearing whatever it took to make that justified is great, I mean, crunch aside, but I hope that means we'll see more like it in the future.

Considering they were happy with Mega Man, Mega Man X and Mega Man 11 sales, in addition to the combined sales of the IP, I think it's pretty likely to see another Mega Man compilation, in addition to Mega Man 12 or Mega Man X9.
A few months they mentioned interest on resurrecting some old IP. But I assume they will choose a bigger seller one like Onimusha or Lost Planet.
"Digital Contents" is just the name of the operating segment and includes all business that relates to PC, Console and Mobile games. In contrast to their Arcade, Pachinko and Royalty/Merchandise stuff.
Capcom has 4 operating segments:
1. Digital Contents (PC, Console, Mobile, [Online] games) - 83% of sales, 28.1% operating margin
2. Arcade Operations (Plaza Capcom arcades) - 11% of sales, 9.9% operating margin
3. Amusement Equipments (Pachinko & Pachislo, Arcade Games Sales) - 3.4% of sales, negative operating income [-77.5%]
4. Other (Mainly royalty income from the licensing and sale of character merchandise) - 2.6% of sales, 31.5% operating margin

How on earth do you translate "performed strongly" to equal "barely a success" ?
considering how few MM games breached 1M, I'm not surprised they don't have high expectations for the series. I guess as long as it can keep doing 1M units, they'll keep making games. but I feel they're gonna hit a wall soon. again
I assume everyone's talking about the rumor that REmake 3 isn't being done internally by the REmake 2 team? Zhuge and Cerium ended up pointing out in this thread that that info isn't entirely accurate.

Did you play DMC5? As good as the game is, it's obvious it didn't have a massive budget. This isn't the kind of game that needs to sell 5 million to "perform strongly".
They seem to know how to actually budget their games now compared to last generation.
