Capcom: We're learning tons from Slant Six, actively seeking more Western collabs

You guys can make fun of them... but I'm actually interested in these two games.
 
Both. Make no mistake there are people here who are pissed their precious japanese company is working with westerners at all. Then there are others who are just confused why they keep picking mediocre and bad ones, but like some have said here there's really not many good independent western devs left.

This is actually why I approve of their strategy of buying the studios they work with.

Eidos was making terrible to mediocre games until they actually got the time and monetary support they needed to improve the games they were making.

Slant Six hasn't done much notable yet, and it's unlikely that ORC will be great, but if they're given the chance, their second and third games will likely be significantly better.

This concept is kind of what Konami entirely fails to understand. Each time a developer they work with learns a bit about how to make a Silent Hill game, they take the series away and give it to a developer who is even worse, so they never actually get any improvement.

Slant Six Games has established themselves as one of the leading producers of quality shooters, which is why we chose to team up with them. At Capcom we are really eager to soak up new development ideas that will make us competitive in the global market. Working with Slant Six Games, we wanted to take advantage of the keen insight they have on developing games for their market.

They're clearly delirious. The three games that S6 have developed are rubbish, with their single console title being exceptional trash.
