Resident Evil doesn't even get anymore funding for large budgets what with the remakes of remakes and bottom of the barrel episodic slices of content. Especially after DmC failing to light the charts on fire, Lost planet a failure and the 1000 person developed RE6 underperforming both critically and commercially..SFXT its own brand of failure...they've lost more than half their shares in the past few years alone....
I'm just wondering what world some people are coming from where Capcom is this rich player who wants to throw money at console oriented big projects from any dev in their company who comes asking for funding, just because its legacy content or attached to a name brand. They've milked SF4 for 6 years on last gen for a reason. Without safety nets, and probably even with safety nets, they are going mobile and handheld only before too long. The fate of all these large conglomerates.
Thanks Sony for giving Ono a hand in the mean time though.
