Capcom: Western devs to only handle "established brands

[yerbluesjohn]

I'd have thought they were talking more about Dark Void than Bionic Commando, which wasn't even a new IP.

And how sheepish must GRIN be feeling now? It must be really difficult to build an outsourced game and make it creative and fun.

Seems odd. Risk them messing up an established franchise rather than blaming the inherent risk that comes with a new IP? I guess they're comfortable that a franchise name alone will sell it, regardless of whether the product is actually good or not.

I picked up Bionic Commando (PS3) for less than a tenner and am absolutely loving it.

Its a bit slow to start, but once you get more abilities unlocked its awesome

This isn't always the case, as Nintendo handed out the revered Metroid franchise to Retro, which did a sterling job bringing Samus into 3D

What! They want licensed IP's to be made not by the creators crazy but I still have hope then for an Onimusha game open world would be nice but only one no more! Anyway GRIN didn't make good games they had there chance and now have been shut down. But this outsourcing established IP's to western developers has a 50:50 chance. So i'll wait and see!

they're right, and good for them.

I thought BC was fun. The plot was hilarious too, especially the ending.
