Capcom isn’t taking the challenge coming with the new generation lightly, and is looking to expand aggressively in the global market, as explained today by Consumer Game Business Executive Corporate Officer Katsuhiko Ichii in an internal interview for investors.

"In North America Capcom faces fierce competition in the home video game market, but we’ll continue to put out high-powered content. We intend to enhance our marketing and game development capabilities for next-gen consoles and develop games which attract more users."

In addition to that, he explained that the company intends to come up with new brands for mobile games and online PC games, but even more interestingly he admitted that Capcom is already “pushing ahead” with the development of “some” unannounced games using Deep Down’s engine Panta Rhei.

[VertPin]

Devil May Cry 5?

 

[EMT0]

Why is it that I find their claims hard to believe...?

Hmm

 

[AgentChris]

Panta Rhei is the engine that SCE helped with or this is for all multiplatform titles?

 

[kasane]

Devil May Cry 5?

Keep dreaming

 

[Dawg]

Give me a real Dragons Dogma sequel.

 

[Silky]

Capcom Fighting Slam Masters 2

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Finally Darkstalkers 4!

 

[Mesoian]

I mean...yeah. Duh. Deep Down still isn't a 2014 game so that means Capcom has nothing for next gen this year which means they're stepping into a ring that is filled with hungry players from all over the world looking to get a big piece of the pie in 2015.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

MEGA MAN

Spoiler

Sorry.

 

[Takao]

Resident Evil 5 at long last.

 

[UltraGunner]

Project Justice reboot

Spoiler

for iOS

 

[taizuke]

RE 7!

 

[d0nd]

yay black tiger reboot!

j/k =(

 

[BinaryPork2737]

New Mega Man entry, DMC, Monster Hunter, and some new ips better be some of those unannounced games. Or maybe Breath of Fire.

It's probably another mediocre Resident Evil game

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Panta Rhei is the engine that SCE helped with or this is for all multiplatform titles?

It is a multiplatform engine which will be used going forward for many of Capcom's next-gen games. Also an article talking the engine being able to be adapted to any platform: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...rhei_game_engine_can_be_adapted_to_any_system

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Let us all embrace our king, mobile!

 

[MGHA]

Dino Crisis reboot please.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Flappy Spinning Bird Kicks.

 

[Jinfash]

Do they have any big titles slated for release on consoles in 2014? Can't think of anything off the top of my head.

 

[VertPin]

Keep dreaming

Sure, release a DmC2. See how far that goes. Either Capcpom releases DMC5, or shelves the series.

 

[Mesoian]

If I had to guess, RE7, MH4, Capcom Fighting Jam (or whatever will replace Marvel), and 1 new IP. No Megaman, no reboots, most of which will either be late 2015/mid 2016.

Sort of much ado about nothing.

 

[Silky]

Sure, release a DmC2. See how far that goes. Either Capcpom releases DMC5, or shelves the series.

Believe it or not, DmC is still selling. It's up to nearly 1.5 million. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it makes the 2 million by the end of the year.

 

[ironcreed]

Dragon's Dogma 2, please. And do not dare make it some F2P bullshit.

 

[hawk2025]

Dragon's Dogma
Dragon's Dogma
Dragon's Dogma



Please Capcom.

 

[Mesoian]

Sure, release a DmC2. See how far that goes. Either Capcpom releases DMC5, or shelves the series.

I think they'd be happier to shelve it at this point.

Believe it or not, DmC is still selling. It's up to nearly 1.5 million. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it makes the 2 million by the end of the year.

I'm super interested to know DmC's PC numbers.

 

[RPGamer92]

At least Gears of Reaident Evil 7 should be pretty

 

[DieH@rd]

Dragons Dogma
RE
DMC [although I would like sequel of DmC, no matter who makes it]

 

[TheRealTalker]

I wonder what they could be

 

[Valnen]

At least Gears of Reaident Evil 7 should be pretty

If you were playing RE6 like Gears of War, the problem was you, not the game.

 

[jbug617]

Probably at least a new IP.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Warzard 2! I'm giving my best here folks.

 

[Toad.T]

SONSON...

2.

 

[badcrumble]

Believe it or not, DmC is still selling. It's up to nearly 1.5 million. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it makes the 2 million by the end of the year.

Mmhmm.

 

[Alienous]

Give me dat Panta Rhei Hadouken.

Mmm.

 

[Drencrom]

Dragon's Dogma 2

Please Capcom...

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Give me dat Panta Rhei Hadouken.

Mmm.

Sorry it's not ready for fighting games, yet.

 

[Timmy00]

Devil May Cry 5?

We can only hope.

Spoiler

I wouldn't mind another dragon dogma or a Resident Evil game where the campaign isn't complete crap though

 

[pretty done]

Monster Hunter 5 pls Capcom. Do it for America.

 

[Takao]

If I had to guess, RE7, MH4, Capcom Fighting Jam (or whatever will replace Marvel), and 1 new IP. No Megaman, no reboots, most of which will either be late 2015/mid 2016.

Sort of much ado about nothing.

3DS can't run this engine.

 

[Mesoian]

3DS can't run this engine.

They'll find a way, unless they keep wanting to support the WiiU exclusively for the next 3 years.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

They'll find a way, unless they keep wanting to support the WiiU exclusively for the next 3 years.

Why? MT framework mobile is for 3ds.

 

[Anteater]

Devil May Cry 5?

don't stop believing!

 

[Sebastiano]

Reboot of Mega Man or Lost Planet 4.

Nah, I'm joking, I hope for Devil May Cry or DmC Devil May Cry.

 

[Neuromancer]

Panta Rhei

It's like a manta ray, in pants

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Believe it or not, DmC is still selling. It's up to nearly 1.5 million. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it makes the 2 million by the end of the year.

Damn that game bombed :lol

Devil May Cry 5?

It's easy money at this point, I think we will definitely will see a DMC 5.

 

[Dahbomb]

Devil May Cry 5

I BELIEVE!

 

[Mesoian]

Why? MT framework mobile is for 3ds.

...yes, and we're talking about next gen systems. MH4 for PS4 or XBone.

Or...WiiU, but I don't think capcom is all that interested in that quick conversion right now.

Reboot of Mega Man or Lost Planet 4.

Nah, I'm joking, I hope for Devil May Cry or DmC Devil May Cry.

I'd love Lost Planet 4 if it was actually like Lost Planet 1 and 2 and not a cheap Dead Space ripoff.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Panta Rhei

It's like a manta ray, in pants

Heraclitus of Ephesus "everything flows".
Thank me later.

...yes, and we're talking about next gen systems. MH4 for PS4 or XBone.

Or...WiiU, but I don't think capcom is all that interested in that quick conversion right now.

Not sure what are you trying to say here. MH4 and MH4g are on 3ds and probably stay there.

It is a multiplatform engine which will be used going forward for many of Capcom's next-gen games. Also an article talking the engine being able to be adapted to any platform: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...rhei_game_engine_can_be_adapted_to_any_system

But it is an engine that Sony has helped them exploit on the PS4 with deep down. It's a really smart move on Sony's part as the MT Framework was more of a 360 engine and it showed with games running and looking better on that platform. So, getting to Capcom and having them build their next-gen engine with a PS4 exclusive was well done on Sony's part.
