Fighting Games Weekly | Sept 16-22 | EVO does a 360 and walks away

Product Line-up Introduction Stage – Introduction of Capcom’s latest apps. Plus, the reveal of an unannounced title. Featuring director Itsuno Hideaki.

OMFG HIDEAKI ITSUNO ANNOUNCING A NEW CAPCOM GAME!!!!!

DEVIL MAY CRY 5 FUCKING 10000000% CONFIRMED!!!!!!
 
An new Resident Evil?!
Fuck no son... do you KNOW who Hideaki Itsuno is? He makes the Devil May Cry games and he makes Dragon's Dogma.

Although he has worked on fighting games too but he is mostly known for those games. Meaning the most likely chance outside of a new IP is FUCKING DEVIL MAY CRY 5 SON!!!!

Not trying to mess up your hopes, but DmC didn't reset the series? Or Devil May Cry is totally different than this new DmC?
IIRC it was neither a reboot or a reset. They initially promoted it as it's own thing. Good move considering the reception, I guess.

It's a parallel universe. Like Spider Man versus like Ultimate Spider Man or something (or Nolan Batman versus Burton Batman). Basically the events of DmC have nothing to do with the events of DMC.

It was originally billed as a prequel reboot but after the backlash they started marketing as it's own thing in a different universe.

More like, it was indeed initially promoted as a reboot, leading them unable to make up their minds on whether it was meant to be a prequel or an alternate continuity until the backlash finally led them to settle on the latter.

EDIT: Beaten.

Ok, so a legit DMC5 incoming? Nice, helm breakers 4life

No it's just conjecture based on the information provided. While this is the guy who normally makes the DMC series, he also makes a bunch of other games.

This is his directorial resume:

Devil May Cry series except DMC1 (Kamiya made DMC1 and NT made DmC, Itsuno helped them but did not direct)

Dragon's Dogma

Capcom vs SNK 2

Power Stone 2

Rival Schools


So for fighting game fans there is a chance of something like CVS3 or a revival of Rival Schools although very unlikely. It's most likely Dragon's Dogma 2, Devil May Cry 5 or a new IP... I can't see this being anything else.

With Deep Down coming over the horizon it makes little sense for them to have another next gen game like it.

I thought dahbomb hated speculation/speculators
No I hate leakers with wrong information. This is official information. While this may not be a DMC5, a new game is definitely coming it's in the official live stream schedule.

Yes, it's only a speculation so far, but I'm hype for the possibility too

DEVIL MAY CRY 5 FUCKING 10000000% CONFIRMED!!!!!!

As much as I would take a Japanese DMC5, I would like it more if it was Dragon's Dogma 2.

So much untapped potential in the first one.
 
in terms of next gen games Capcom is really quiet. DR3 for Xbox One, Deep Down for PS4 and that's it.


cause they're currently reeling from a series of unfortunate decisions that almost killed them, though the MH4 parachute just opened to save their ass.
 
I think he means "AAA" actually next gen console games.

In the current gen, Capcom starting out had 4 AAA console games in development and had announced. RE5, DMC4, Dead Rising and Lost Planet.

It could be possible they have that many games in development of that caliber. I find it extremely hard to believe that one of their few remaining talents is working on a god damn iOS so it's most likely a next gen game (DD2, DMC5, new game whatever). The RE team is most likely on work with a RE7 or its equivalent.
 
Looks like Capcom Cup is no longer part of WCG Finals.

So if any remaining North American player wants a spot in AE Capcom Cup, they'll have to fly. The same goes for any Japanese player who gets 2nd or worse at TGS.

If you try to hijack the asia qualifier, you will have to deal with Poongko/Infiltration/Laugh/Gamerbee and probably some of the better singapore players like Gackt and Leslie.

If you try to steal shadowloo, you will have to deal with another large amount of Japanese players and Snake Eyez.

No doubt most are going to scramble for the UK qualifier at the last minute. It's probably why Ryan Hart flew to Treta in the first place.
 
After watching the Capcom Cup trailer, there's a possibility that Chris G will be the only will be the only player representing North America unless other players (members from Team EG) are willing to fly out for the qualifier tournaments.

Yeah, pretty sure EG players will fly to other events. I kinda expected there to be two qualifiers in NA America at least.
 
I'm super excited that Capcom Cup is so close to where I live. Gonna do my best to not miss out on this like I did with the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary finals.
 
Capcom Cup is an 8 man bracket?

I hope they do longer sets then.

So I guess Xian (EVO) and ChrisG (TFC) are confirmed.

The other qualifiers are:

Treta (Brazil)
TGS Madcatz (Japan)
Shadowloo Showdown (Australia)
Asian Finals (Singapore, Korea, Taiwan) [2 players qualify from here]
Play EXPO (UK)

Treta already happened, Sakonoko won and it's confirmed as well
 
is the 8 man bracket going to be a double elimination bracket or are they going to make the tournament like topanga league? i would def. prefer the latter

I see. So it's ChrisG, Xian, Sakonoko plus 5 other players.

Damn no kidding, ChrisG really might be the only NA player to qualify.

It should be long sets at the minimum. Problem with Topanga league is that every match isn't as urgent, you can potentially lose two matches (go 5-2) and still win it all. There has to be a Grand Final, big last game for all the money and title.

Sets should be a minimum of 3/5.
