Are they going through another period of stagnation?
do you really need to ask? all of their franchises are in the gutter and their programmers suck ass. not only that but they're also very litigious, they're going after mods and everything has drm up the ass
After DD2 and Wilds I'd say they're more in another period of enshittification
>>731056763They've been in one since immediately after 2 remake.
They were done the second they started backporting malware into everything
>>731057779You unknowledgeable and completely retarded. never speak on subjects you know little to nothing about ever fucking again.
>>731058186>Today on another episode of: Shit that Never Happened
>>731056763Their sales are higher than ever, and they're experimenting with new IPs which is more than I can say for many other Japanese game companies. And after getting rid of Digital Eclipse and some initial hurdles, their classic collections are getting really good. But they put the cart ahead of the horse, they're sorta stumbling with no clear direction of what they're doing with anything. Wilds was a mess even taking aside the performance because the director went "BUT WHAT IF MORE STORY AND LINEARITY WITH A POINTLESS OPEN WORLD?" Dead Rising remaster basically missed the point entirely and fucked up bad. Devil May Cry is dormant after Itsuno ditched, and Dragon's Dogma shit the bed. No one played Exoprimal or Kunitsugami. And Street Fighter 6 is super successful at the cost of being excessively greedy.They need a slap to the face to wake up a bit, and I'm hoping Wilds stirred that.
>>731056763They're going downhill since re2 remake but unfortunately for some reason they made a lot of money from these shit
>>731058228Speaking of pic related it's crazy that I can watch MvsC2 and it's still visually and mechanically appealing while MvsC3 just looks janky in 2026.
Pragmata, MH Stories 3, RE9, and Onimusha are this year.
I liked Kunitsu-Gami pretty well. That and SF6 were the only things I've been interested in since 2021 though
>>731056763more like a return to (shit) form, they accidentally struck gold with RE7 and Re2 remake, then half-assed the Re3 remake and completely fucked up Wilds
>>731058301didn't some shit like that happen with street fighter 5?
>>731060714i wish i enjoyed sf6 more but i think the game looks like shit,the new characters are lame and with the exception of terry and mai all of the dlc they've added have been uninteresting
>>731056763yes
