Capcom wants to release approximately 3 major games every (fiscal) year
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
Is the consensus that it will be too soon for having RE8 next fiscal year ?
If so, a new Monster Hunter release is pretty much guarenteed.

I think they mean fiscal years (for example, this fiscal year was April 2018 to March 2019), so you might not see another game within the next calendar year if they decide to put them all in Q1 2020.
That said, I suspect they wouldn't shove three games in three months, so we'll probably see something before then.
I think RE8 is coming in 2020 and a new MH as well is indeed coming next year.
RE2R and DMCV are scheduled for the current fiscal year (ending March 31st).
Dang, all the restructuring at Capcom must have kicked something into high gear at Capcom, I like it.
Given we have gotten two big Resident Evil titles, two Monster Hunter games, and a new Devil May Cry all since the start of 2017, I can see them working on some of their older properties from the PS2 era such as Okami and Onimusha.
In addition, I am pretty positive they are going to have a new fighting game announcement soon. I'm going to assume it will be either a crossover with SNK (since the latter has had crossovers all over the place lately) or maybe a new Rival Schools. Both are franchises Itsuno had a good amount of involvement in, and with how much everyone loves Itsuno, I can see Capcom allowing him to lead a new fighting game project.

Only makes sense. If you want to be a major publisher in today's market for the long haul it's pretty much necessary.
Ubisoft have done really well around this and are ahead of the curve in a lot of ways. It's why you are seeing companys like Take Two and WB trying to expand now to keep pace

Got to wait until we get the Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection, then Mega Man X9, and THEN we'll get a Mega Man Legends reboot.
Yes, especially when it comes to RE games, they can now release a lot of AAA-looking RE games at a faster pace than before.
Both 2K and WB need to expand and start releasing games, WB went from releasing 4 major games + LEGO titles in 2015 to only 1-2 every year or less.
CVS3 isn't happening, Oda confirmed as much.
Work on Rival Schools would only begin after Itsuno and co. finish up DMCV, so the announcement wouldn't really come any time soon.
Wait...
Isnt this at odds with their "every game is GAAS" announcement? Unless I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what this means.
GAAS means they release a game, and then follow it up with paid updates until the end of time, right? How would this work with also releasing 3 major games a year?

Both companies have talked a lot in interviews about how they intend to really go at expanding their company, especially Take-Two.
If you're interested in Take-Two's strategy, this is for the 2K branch alone (so not counting the four new games out of Private Division, which is an entirely new branch of Take-Two, for example): https://www.resetera.com/threads/2k...l-new-partners-bigger-studios-gaas-mor.57322/
Warner is kind of a disaster company, so they've been much less successful in expanding or keeping new partners.
You release 3 GaaS a year and see what sticks and what doesnt. Keep supporting those who stick.
Oh yeah I remember that now. He said those games were released at the point both companies were exhausted with their franchise, so I can see them changing their minds in the future, once SNK has gotten more fighting games out.
Rival Schools is definitely not soon, but I honestly can't think of another fighting game project Capcom could be working on right now.
After Legends :)
even how unless they go repacked way like they did with the 3DS one.
Good grief this is a bold move from Capcom. I wonder if Remasters count as major release too. I'm interested to see what happens though, I'd love a huge Capcom resurgence.
Aside from SFVI, the fighter that makes the most sense for them to make is Capcom All Stars (their own King of Fighters basically).
Probably helps when your software pipeline isn't fucked up by boondoggles like Panta Rhei and Deep Down.
That probably depends on if they get something to stick, you can't expect to make your game a "GAAS" game and it being an instant money source automatically, half of those games will probably be forgotten after a few months, GAAS or no GAAS.
If they manage to actually make one of those games that instantly conecct to the audience and then it just wont die, then you can expect them to put everything else to the side and milk that shit as hard as possible.
When publishers and devs say GAAS they don't mean supporting a stinker just because they said so, they are still after the one thing that makes them a ton of money.
RE8 is definitely going to be January 2020. I can feel it in my bones.
I'm ready for it as well.

I think there's definitely some overlap, as RE2 was announced prior to RE7 announcement
I do wonder if they'll ever take another go at the latter, given Capcom Fighting Evolution was bland.
RE2 was a special case since it was announced before the game was pitched to Capcom's bosses lol.
It's really the best thing they can do with their VS series.
Just dump Marvel and make it all about Capcom characters.
