New Games releasing will become a Catalog once they get older
MHR and RE 8 are going to get good legs in the future. You can see how there catalog games have been doing , and how the numbers have increased
DMC 5 SE is something which i feel doesn't add much to their catalogue

Dead Rising
Dead Rising 2

Should be the main GC/PS2/XB and onward stuff
Comparing something as frequently released as Yakuza to an old leggy release like Bomberman doesn't give that much interesting info imo.
i know it's not a very useful comparison (and obviously done jokingly), but it does simultaneously highlight how much yakuza has declined, and how well bomberman has done (according to gdl, best selling title in the series since the super famicom days).
The Yakuza/Bomberman thing was a joke people.
Out of the missing remasters I still expect DMC4SE and DmCDE but that's probably it. They really should do USFIV and UMVC3 too though. Anything else will be stuff also coming PC/PS4/Xbox. If I could pick some remasters there I'd love to see Viewtiful Joe 1/2 HD (they scale to HD incredibly well) and a global crossplay release for E.X.Troopers. Oh and TVC HD as long as we're dreaming.
I think Dead Rising probably died with Capcom Vancouver. Dev 1/2 haven't shown any interest in bringing it back.

Sure they can. Succ it up, that's when we're getting RE7, RE2, RE3, DMC5SE, RE Village...
80% of those games are on Xbox though, if they wanted to make remasters they wouldn't have made them backwards compatible (like Take Two not making LA Noire backwards compatible so they could sell a remaster). I doubt Capcom sees much value in re-releasing those games.
Doesn't matter. There's so little conflict in these threads that we have to make up our own.
I am still let down that my account verification took so long last week that I couldn't chime in on time on "What is a JRPG?" and "Can we please leave the frog in his coffin?"
I don't think Capcom sees a point in including Dead Rising, Viewtiful Joe or Lost Planet in its recurring back catalog since none of those franchises have a future. I think Capcom has a soft spot for Okami, which is why they keep remastering it even though it's never getting a sequel.
What's the idea here Pranay ? People in these threads are always cheeky/harsh about mismanaged franchises.
Level 5 is probably the ones getting the most hammered around here, and deservedly so.
I think we all get it is a joke lol.
Just adding an additional thought.
They pretty much have 0 chance of turning Yakuza around too so it'll be interesting to see what they do from here on out.
I agree. A ton of people demanding more ports of old games for the Switch are ignoring two things:
1) Publishers will very possibly need to hire an independent studio to do so.
2) Those games can be sold for what? 20 dollars tops? Add the 30% Nintendo takes and a ton of ports would not make money. How much would Lost Planet sell on Switch? 300.000 copies for 20 dollars each? Is that enough to hire an independent studio to port the game? Isn't it smarter to invest that money elsewhere?
The reason the backwards compatibility program on Xbox and the preserving of old games on the platform has worked is because Microsoft's engineers do all the porting work and publishers don't pay for anything (and Microsoft doesn't either, publishers agree because it means more sales in the future and on future Xbox platforms).
Just some quick thoughts.
honestly, i'm kinda surprised they haven't done anything with okamiden. a mobile port or something, at least. i can see it doing decently well.
but otherwise yeah, it seems like they're not really interested in releasing ports of old games in their catalog that aren't part of ongoing series. the onimusha remaster [apparently] flopping hard probably didn't help either.
I don't think it was necessary to have a meta comment sniped towards me
That "what is a jrpg" discussion was so funny and it lasted so many pages, I love it
I actually wonder how SF5 is gonna be handled in the future, relying on sony for that might have bit them in the ass a bit, theres a chance Sony may allow them to sell it on other platforms in the future when its no longer valuable to them
That doesn't make sense though. Other Ocean did the PS4 version and turned out badly IIRC, plus Bayonetta 1 got native PS4 and XBO ports, even though Nintendo's made it pretty clear that they practically made her one of their own and funded and published ports of said game on both Wii U and Switch, without prohibiting non-Nintendo ports.
Meaning, why would Sony (and can they?) force a remaster of a multiplat game to stay exclusive for life that they didn't even publish? It's bizarre. I really doubt Capcom can't put it on Switch (and XBO, but it's BC anyway).
They didn't redo it for XBONE is all, nor did it appear on Wii U or Switch. It probably could have come out in that Switch launch era SF push no problem, but there might be some deal in place where they can't publish 4 on competing platforms to go along with 5.
It was originally reported as a timed deal iirc. Which makes sense as SSFIVAE/USFIV wasn't made BC on Xbox One until almost exactly 2 years later.
Nothing's forever. SFV exclusivity almost certainly has an end date but maybe it's long enough we won't see it on current consoles.

i wouldn't be surprised if they keep moneyhatting SF (for console-exclusivity). they might like the fact that some of these long running multiplatform series are being perceived as playstation-exclusive now.
It always depends on what the deal is. For Bayonetta it's pretty clear that Nintendo shares the copyright with Sega only on game 2 and 3 while the IP itself remains Sega's, just like the first game. It's not worth it for Nintendo to pay for exclusivity of game 1, so Sega can port it to any platform they want.
The conditions of the Street Fighter deal between Sony and Capcom remain unknown, but third party publishers usually only allow themselves to get locked up for the duration of one generation. So by now USF IV may be free to be ported again, however, that will be of no use if Capcom has no business interest of their own to port it again.
Hasn't stopped SF0-III going everywhere though. I doubt Sony's still paying to keep IV at least, otherwise it wouldn't be BC on Xbox.

Yeah.Looking at the recent post .....Ahh Dear
Sorry I should be more specific - I don't mean ongoing sales of current gen games largely achieved via price reduction. I'm talking of games from prior generations. But I guess they don't account for a major portion of these catalog sales anyway
In addition to new games transitioning to catalog (and finding new sales with the established base at lower pricepoints) there's also general audience churn as new or lapsed gamers buy systems and decide to grab these catalog releases.
Remasters and collections aren't an insignificant amount of catalog sales either. You can see that in the platinum charts even.
I just don't think SF is much of a system seller. Capcom accepted the moneyhat for SFV when they were in a much worse financial situation. I don't think Sony is interested in having to pay much more for 6.
Yeah I think there'd be some interest in an HD version of Okamiden. A lot of people didn't get the chance to play that one. Also Ghost Trick.
Just go all way and do AAI1-2 too. HD remasters for all!
Yeah They dont.
Though I can see them porting more games to Switch
yeah ghost trick is another title that feels like it should be ported to everything. it's a one and done title so it's not like people will expect a sequel, and over the years the word of mouth has been super positive and i bet a lot of people have heard good things about it but haven't found a convenient way to check it out.
No.

Capcom has to be the worst company out there at handling its IP and library. Basically if it's not Resident Evil or Mega Man they don't care whatsoever.
Wouldn't surprise me if BD II underperformed. It's an IP with a flawed reputation and the demos they've put out only reinforced that it will be more of the same.
Speaking of which, do you think Capcom has any interest in a new IP? The last spinoff we got was MHStories right? I guess there's that Toraware no Palm or something?
they announced one at the PS5 even and another one was in the data leaks
