thoughts?

isn't it weird that it's a numbered game? I'm not sure how to feel about this

[Nightengale]

I didn't want to make this thread... Felt so bitter about it.

First you make a beloved legacy franchise into a mobile/online game. (not even a 3DS title)
Then you completely ruin the design aesthetics of the series with the most generic designs possible.
You didn't even have the gall to have the main character have blue hair.
And to make everything worse, you... made it a numbered game.
You, dared, to make this piece-of-shit into a title that will stand alongside BoF I-V?

Fuck you, Capcom.

[RRW]

why you created this thread? WHY!?

[Hemisphere]

I've resorted to severe Stockholm Syndrome, spending the last twenty minutes cackling at the GAF thread.

Laughing at all the other people despairing at this news, while tears stream down my face.

[Frailty]

let's all be disappointed together!

[Hemisphere]

I'll get the Kool-Aid!

That would've been fine....

I could've cared less if they called it BoF: Online, or whatever. I'm all but accepted the fact that many franchises may never come back, or only survive via low-budget spin-offs.

But don't fucking make it a 'numbered' title. All they're doing is disgracing the series.

[defki]

I woke up and saw this garbage. I seriously wanted to vomit. 10 frigging years and this is what we get. And they even shamelessly make it a numbered title.

Fuck you Capcom. I hope you crash and burn.

Im pretty excited by the news. I don't care if it's just a browser game or even a comic on a grocery bag. The series has been dead for ten years now. Any life sign is great news to me. If the game sells well, the company may decide to do a fully fledged console release again. Since BoFV is one of my favorite games of all time, I'd be so happy to see the series continue, either in the traditional style or as sort of a successor to Dragon Quarter.

Not like this, man. It shows they don't even care what a BoF game is.

[ZGoten]

BoF has never been a particularly succesful franchise and it has been off people's radar for ten years now. It's only logical for Capcom to try and revitalize it without taking too much of a risk. I'm not surprised at all that they do it "like this" and it's totally fair, albeit unfortunate.

Think of it as an obituary for a formerly interesting franchise.

turning this series in to a online/mobile game is much riskier than making a new addition to the BoF series.

Capcom should've just sold BoF games on the PSN/XBLA to test whether or not this series needs a new entry.

They are making a new addition to the BoF series, whether you like it or not. And whether the game is released on PSN/XBL or on tablet/browser doesn't change anything about the game itself. It might sell better on console platforms, but that's not what I'm arguing. I'm simply arguing that obviously Capcom wouldn't make a big retail release for consoles.

[Eclipze]

Not particularly surprising considering the recent efforts by Capcom:

1) 4(?) cancelled Megaman games in a row (Legends 3's cancellation being blamed on the fan by Capcom )
2) Changing the Resident Evil survival horror games into the cinematic action zombie game (Thank goodness for The Evil Within)
3) Numerous on-disc pay-to-unlock DLC content on their games

Still, its hilarious though. I had only expected something like this to come from Square Enix rather than Capcom, seeing that they are probably in a better financial position than SE is in currently. Then again I could be wrong.

[Mad Pierrot]

Mother of god, Capcom really "loves" its fanbase.

As a Banjo-Kazooie fan, let me advise you that any life sign is, in fact, not always a good thing.

New Onimusha and BOF... hype!
*see it's for useless platforms*
Oh well, carry on then.
