Couldn't agree more. Sadly, the same can be said about most big Japanese developers at this point


Capcom there's still a bit of hope and one would take it that not only are they working on Deep Down and SF V but also the other teasm are hard at work for DMC and RE for the next gen . Konami seem to have totally lost it, much like SEGA Japan, Treasure and a host of other one top Japanese developers - thanks the mobile curse in Japan .

With Yakuza Zero underperforming, I don't even know how many more of those they'll try and make


It sold poor- But that was always going to happen sadly with no breaks for the team and a yearly development cycle.

Let me revise the Capcom output for this years:
-Deep Down-F2P PS4 "temporary" exclusive game

-Resident Evil Revelations 2-Download digital title in chapters/Full game with all the chapters low to mid budget

-Street Fighter V-PS4 temporary console exclusive/another colaboration with Dimps.

-10 Online Games in development a.k.a. F2P MMO's/MOBA's

-DMC and RE projects but if even SFV is an exclusive....don't expect too much multiplat from that.

Yeah, Capcom still in but they receive "help" from another companies...

That's still better than what SEGA Japan will be offering most prob and even a spinoff like RE Revelations sells almost as well as Yakuza 0 in Japan and will also have the sales in the west to make it up to over a million sales most prob.
As a gamer I find the likes of RE 7, DMC 6, Deep Down, SF V more tempting that what SEGA Japan got to offer this year and I hate to say it but even Final Fantasy XV shows huge promise too

Don't Sega also get help with Yakuza ? And when you have IP that sells in the millions you're going to get offers from corps just like with SONY and FromSoftware.

Well since the RE Team have been working on part 7 since before 6 even made it out and its been 3 years since RE6 - I would say the game should be ready to be brought out late this year.

For what? More Sega games?

At the moment I'm just waiting for Yakuza 5 to get an English release, and hoping for VF6. That's realistically as much as I can really ask for.

Is it just me or has SEGA been silent as fuck about Yakuza 5? They wonder why the games don't do well...

I think they announced Yakuza 5 wasn't coming until the fall, so I don't really see much fuss being made until E3.
Not that SEGA really does much to market their non-Alien games anyway.


The new Layton game being a mobile game is just as depressing.

RE games are always announced way ahead.

Capcom has 10 fucking free-to-play titles? God damn, one of the issues with Japanese online games is the lack of support and spreading your teams over ten titles basically means lots of them will die. I really don't see a Capcom made MOBA title doing very well with all the new western ones already launched and launching soon.

We have League of Legends, DOTA 2, Smite, Heroes of Newerth, Infinite Crisis, Awesomenauts (2D), Heroes of the Storm and a bunch of other ones. The fact that Capcom thinks they can just go into the genre... is a bit weird. I think even SEGA already published a free-to-play MOBA title in Japan that didn't take off.

It requires a lot of updating and listening to community feedback. I think Capcom will find more success with a free-to-play hunting and crafting game with nice graphics... instead of a competitive MOBA game.

^Alot of these are mobile titles. The big japanese publishers are launching dozens of games at once, with a few surviving and becoming popular.

And I think Sega's localizations of Chaos Heroes Online in Japan worked decently, it hasn't shut down, announcements etc.

https://gw.sega.jp/gw/

The link above links to the "SEGA ID" page, which links to the non-mobile online games, Sega is operating.

For Arcade it is currently 15 titles, tough a number of them stopped receiving updates.

For handheld/console/pc it is only about 3 at most...I expect that number to shift going forward, to PC/console.


In Japan at least, I'd say does well in supporting their online, otherwise they woudn't be successfull in the arcade, and of course with PSO2.

Sigh ... Out of the Monter Hunter IV profits . Capcom have built and sept up a brand new Mobile HQ in Oska to handle its Mobile/digital games.

http://nintendoeverything.com/capcom-using-monster-hunter-4-profits-to-open-new-mobile-studio/


Capcom also have another 2 Development R&D in development one ready to go now and the other in a few years time


http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/14/capcom-investing-around-80m-into-two-new-randd-buildings/


So sorry unlike SEGA Japan  , Capcom is investing in new talent and building new Studios and taking on new staff .

Capcom believes that these actions will give the company a competitive advantage due to the more powerful development capabilities in the rapidly growing mobile and PC online games markets

Same deal as Sega really. Except Sega has far more exprience with mobile and online games, since their conception pretty much.

Sega has lots of people hiring for it's Online R&D and Mobile department too.

Capcom have been on the Mobile since 2002 in a big way. And SEGA Japan isn't doing the same isn't. Capcom isn't just adding to its mobile/digital staff but also 2 new R&D for its console sections . SEGA Japan is if anything backing away from the console side of things sadly
