Can't really blame them, as you'd have way more people abusing it, than legit returns.
I tried to return Halo Reach to gamestop still shrinkwrapped and they wouldn't accept it due to "suspicion of theft"

Street Fighter X Megaman kind of sucks. Maybe it's just because I'm coming off of playing a much better fan game in Day in the Limelight, but it just doesn't do much for me. Fighting the bosses is fun though.

While earlier today THQ revealed some really bad news, Capcom themselves also announce bad news with Resident Evil 6 being blamed the most.

According to a recent press announcement, the company has cut their estimated profits projection for the fiscal by roughly 33% with weak sales of Resident Evil 6 and recent news of Monster Hunter 4 being delayed as the main reasons.

Quote:
Capcom now estimates that it will take 6.5 billion yen ($77.0 million) in profits during the current fiscal year, down from the original forecast of 9.8 billion yen ($116.1 million), and revenue of 93.5 billion ($1.1 billion), down from 105 billion ($1.2 billion).
Capcom was disappointed how badly Resident Evil 6 sales dropped after its initial launch period to the point of the game falling well short of their estimates.

Monster Hunter 4 for the 3DS which was set to be released in Japan on March 2013 has now been delayed till a later date and no longer is part of Capcom's current fiscal year. The official reason for the delay is to have more time for polish and quality improvement for the game.

They have been screwing up so much with multiple series in multiple ways that this is not at all surprising.
If they released MML3, didn't blame us for not doing THEIR job and if they didn't screw up SFxT and didn't cut so much out of games to sell as DLC, maybe I'd care.

Considering this is the second company to have problems announced in one day, I kind of wonder if maybe we're near the crash so many have predicted for the last few years. I'm not saying this is doom for the market, but it's kind of looking like MAKE IT or BREAK IT time for the games industry. EA and Activision aren't having the best times as a company, either. They do have some games that sell awesome, but they've suffered hits in terms of market confidence. Neither are in THQ area, but it's something to look out for.

Personally, I hope these companies start getting their shit together. Maybe Capcom will actually take this as a sign to stop dicking around. Or maybe they'll punch Mega Man fans in the balls again.

I think a big cause is because companies have made the mistake of aiming games more and more towards the CoD/"Hey, Bro!" demographic. Resident Evil 6 being a good example. They are making games more and more alike.
That's not a demographic I see shelling out full price on games over and over again yet more and more games are aimed at them.

Also doesn't help that games are getting more expensive. NSMBU is, on average, £50. NSMB Wii was only £40, if not a little cheaper, when it first released.

So, between the hike in prices and the fact they are make more games with less variation, it's no surprise companies are having a hard time.

The development costs are to blame as well, IMO. Most AAA titles production is millions of dollars, making it very difficult to even profit. I don't think there will be a crash or anything, but there are some big changes that seem like they need to take place. Not sure what they can do really.

And A Rival Schools revival would be pretty fucking amazing. One of the best fighters of all time.

According to a tweet sent by the lead director of the series, Nintendo is currently working on a re-release of the Mother/Earthbound series.

Shigesato Itoi stated while he wasn't allowed to give any specific details he did confirm they are not working on Mother 4 but the game will be a re-release of the earlier Mother games (Mother 1-3). Also wasn't allowed to state which platform the game would arrive on or if it even will be released outside of Japan.

Quote:
It’s not 4! We’re trying to get Mother working again right now. I still can’t mention any details, but I have to make clear that this isn’t ‘4’!"

He then mentioned that "Since I’m allowed to drop it on you all now, I’ll just go ahead and say it. The “Mother re-release” I’d mentioned a bit before, we’re making progress on that."

Based on a recent survey sent by Capcom, the company is considering the future of several franchises in regards to digital distribution.

According to Christian Svensson, the outcomes will not automatically mean certain games and series will or will not have future digital releases but it will play a big influence when the actual decision is being made.

The survey itself has a series of questions dealing with the games being possible as just straight ports, HD remakes, reboots of series, or even as new games in a serie.

In regards to the Mega Man series, several questions dealt with the idea of possible compilation sets including all the sub-branches in the series. Also on the idea of these games being kept in the classic 2D sprite format (with or without HD upgrades) or redone in a pseudo 3D format (2.5D).

Given the fact that the gaming industry has seen nothing but growth for almost a decade and has been nearing exponential growth, I'm going to say "lol" and move on.

Why would you want it to do well? It's a cheap cash in on the popularity of DayZ, made by the same guys who did Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

What exactly is this whole Slenderman thing?

It sounds like one of those stories kids would pass around in a neighbourhood to each other. A creepy monster guy is trying to kill you or something. Is that what it is?

We had something like that. He was called Mr Vain and he was inside out and wanted to catch children.
He lived in the abandoned/crumbling castle on top of the hill near the farm. Yes, I grew up by a farm and castle among other "whimsical" things.

The castle was always lit up at night which added to the idea someone was in there.

Essentially. A long time ago, there was a thread on Something Awful about photoshopping pictures to make them look creepy or paranormal. A user posted these two images:



Quote:
“We didn’t want to go, we didn’t want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time…” – 1983, photographer unknown, presumed dead.


Quote:
One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze. Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as “The Slender Man”. Deformities cited as film defects by officials. Fire at library occurred one week later. Actual photograph confiscated as evidence. – 1986, photographer: Mary Thomas, missing since June 13th, 1986.
And Slenderman was created. The creepiness of it captured people's imagination, and others started posting pics/making up stories. And it took off from there. It's completely internet created.

It's actually fairly fascinating. Great example of collaborative media, and some genuinely creepy stuff has come out of it. If you ever have time, check out the Marble Hornets series on youtube. It's a series of short found footage pieces telling the story of a kid who disappeared while making a movie. Obviously Slenderman is involved. I think the guys who did that are actually writing for the new Slenderman game.

Holy shit, that looks really good. There's a solid improvement on the graphics, the camera effects are lovely, they fixed up Slender Man himself, and even added proxies.

I'd love to see that game hit a console so much.

Play the game, dude. Then come back and tell us about your Vain character. It's easy to find and free to play.

Remedy Entertainment teases they have big plans for 2013 and it might end up being a new Alan Wake game.

Quote:
The developer wrote on the Alan Wake Facebook page: “The new year starts with good news: Alan Wake Franchise is -75% on Steam. Even greater Remedy news to come in 2013…”
The studio did register for a "Alan Wake 2" domain name last year so its possible the game gets officially announced later this year.

Major Nelson has put a countdown to E3 up on his blog already. While I'm expecting a new console reveal from them, some people are just morons and hyping themselves up beyond comprehension because they haven't learnt why the last few E3's have sucked yet.
