One of Rockstar's previous cancelled projects involved making a spiritual sequel to The Warriors game but this time set in the UK during the 1960s Mods vs Rockers gang warfare era.
The idea was even though they only had the license for the first Warriors game, Rockstar was considering making this into a new series which would have kept the idea of the Warriors film but involve more gangs and locations similar to how their GTA series was set up.
The biggest reason why Rockstar shelved those plans involved the switch from the PS2 era to the Xbox 360 era for consoles which would have required most of the current project and engine to be scrapped in favor of an all new engine and HD assets.
Around the same time, Rockstar too busy creating the Euphoria engine and didn't have the time nor manpower to create another engine just for the Warriors sequel.

Capcom's European branch hints that Capcom's future plans might include something similar to what Activision does but not as badly in the long run.
The plan is for Resident Evil and Street Fighter to form the basis of their yearly portfolio with new games and IPs sprinkled in. The biggest differences between this plan and Activision's is Capcom will not suddenly make every year have a SF and a RE game.

According to CVG, he said “The strategy going forward is for [Resident Evil and Street Fighter] to form the basis of the portfolio. We’re not saying it’s going to be all Street Fighter and Resident Evil forever. There will be new projects, but they will be shot through with Capcom’s quality NDA and subjected to a very rigorous green light process… there will be at least one more original title from us that will come out next year.”
