Hey everyone, just read some interesting insights into Capcom's current success and strategy. Apparently, their highly praised remakes, like the Resident Evil ones, are actually the financial backbone that allows them to fund completely new games, including fresh Resident Evil entries and brand-new IPs like Pragmata, which had a very strong launch. A producer explained that this cycle helps them meet the goal of a Resident Evil title each year while also challenging their development teams. While I appreciate the quality of their remakes, especially the fantastic RE4 one, I personally hope this focus doesn't overshadow the need for more original stories and expansions within their universe. It's a smart business model, but I'm always keen to see more true innovation from big studios.
