in Theory, RE7, DR4, DMC, and wishful thinking Onimusha

I'd say that's all wishful thinking. Capcom doesn't have the money for that
Onimusha could have been their chance to jump on the Dark Souls train but Koei beat them to that.

Sony/MS do. Besides there have been rumors that RE7, DR4 and DMC are in dev already.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
They do if a console manufacturer backs them! Get ready for all your fave franchises being locked to different systems!
That aside, Im a bit confused on SFV dlc. Do you need a season pass for the new characters or just for extras?
A new mainline RE is not wishful thinking. That's all but guaranteed.

Yeah I mentioned that before, should have clarified. The rest though? I don't believe it.
Well, not being of the western market, that's expected

If you get the SP, you get all 6 characters and a premium costume for each.
Otherwise you can buy a character for 100K in in game fight money, but the costume requires actual cash still, well it will when they finally get the store up
This isn't the Capcom All Stars I wanted.
Their primary sales markets for this title are in the western ones.

Is 100k easy to obtain? If not, that is pretty gross. A game like SFV should follow the DLC model of Halo 5 or Splatoon.

Can't really say without hearing the side of whoever posted the Capcom USA information. If the Japanese blog is to be 100% believed then the USA PR is at fault, though I have a hard time believing that they posted that info completely on their own without some kind of source from the developers or whatever.

Eh, SEGA is still pretty much 90s SEGA.

Oh, I think you'll be pleased with something from Capcom at E3. Maybe.

As i've said before, much of the communication issues we have dealt with from Capcom stems from an inability to resolve communication internally between the development team, marketing management, and the various international non-Japanese speaking Capcom offices. Theres an ocean between the Capcom USA office, who should be quarterbacking the PR/Marketing for this title & its events, and the developer who are actually producing the content for this game.

Everyone knows about DMC5 and RE:Whatever.
Unless Capcom has another fighting game in the works, I don't care.
If I remember right you can easily get over 100k when you complete the short story modes for the 16 launch characters but you only get them one time. Anything after that is grinding through survival mode or online.

if you did all the short stories and easy survival you end up with about 300K
Well there was that rumor last year that Rival Schools may be coming back

I've changed my mind on DMC5. I mean, its coming, but not this E3.
Why do people keep thinking Onimusha with a Souls-style system is a good idea? It's not. Onimusha is a fun, flashy, "main character is stronger and better than everybody else" game and hopefully it stays that way.

I guess Dead Rising 4 confirmed then.
Yeah I saw that edit
The first two Onimushas were a lot more than flashy action games, very much inspired by the pace of classic Resident Evil.
I mean there's a reason the series is dead and they'd need a new hook to make people interested. I think a DS-like that's more like 1/2 than 3/4 would work.
That doesn't mean it has to be EXACTLY like DS, just take a number of influences from it like "level"/world design and such. A DS game with faster and flashier combat isn't impossible.

Capcom vs Capcom: Fate of two divisions
If by "resisted it" you mean "never communicated on the matter since the schedule was publicly announced mid-february" then yes.
Wow throwing one of your own, entire divisions under the bus is some new hot fire. This is some premium, grade A intra-corporate dysfunction. We were all worried about how bad they would be at communicating to the public and yet they can't even communicate with themselves 
Hopefully they can get all their ducks lined up in the future

I'm confused, I'm assuming capcom JP branch is ultimately responsible for developing the content and dictating what comes out in each patch, why was capcom USA able to dictate the release schedule in the first place? Why did no one from the JP branch immediately come out and set things straight and let things ride as the were for as long as they did? Something ain't adding up.
This makes me yearn for the good old days when Seth Killian was community manager. At least for me personally, it seems like Capcom's communication skills went right down the drain as soon as he left the company.
Even though I still remember his crappy defensive arguments for the gem system in Street Fighter X Tekken... Forgive and forget. Hire that dude back!

Capcom USA owns the Street Fighter license so they get to dictate what is done with it.
MH probably had Nintendo money to get that funded, tbh. When Capcom took that MH3DS money and put it towards mobile instead of reinvesting in said platform for more success there, you knew something was wrong with management.
Anyways, another day, another SF5 thread. This one...pretty big.
If Capcom didn't have a road map, people would've laughed their asses off at Capcom for their attempts at a season pass with no timetable in regards to when characters were coming out. On top of that, Capcom, the developer is 100% responsible for releasing the game in the state it was at and ultimately is right now. The game still has several broken elements that Capcom simply cannot be bothered to address.

I'm honestly curious how many Capcom games someone who shouts stuff like this has played over the last 5...or 10 years.
The company is a mess, true. But "almost all their talent left" is hyperbolic nonsense when they are still capable of releasing Dragon's Dogma, Revelations 2, Monster Hunter 4-tier games.
And even then, what little there is of SFV is really good.

I would believe that, if Capcom JP didn't have a history of blaming everyone but themselves.
Capcom US is not responsible for the game launching in such an anemic state either.

Hope they get it together. No need for this to escalate to 90's Sega level of miscommunication of divisions.

LOL SFV
Last night when I read the English post I felt confident that maybe Capcom get could this whole consumer relationship stuff right.
Then I wake up and see fubarduck's tweets. I'm back to thinking they're incompetent overall and I'm extremely frustrated with Capcom Japan. It's unbelievable that in this day an age blame gets publicly thrown around like that. And even if there's frustration over the original release schedule, that should have never reached our eyeballs and brains. Their little spat should have stayed behind Capcom doors with both blog posts displaying a unified apology message.

Capcom are in such a mess nowadays, sad to see them like this to be honest.
Well, to be fair, Deep Down could have been Capcom's Dark Souls game but well...you know. lol.
