Can't believe this shit was worse than ubisoft.

 

[Pejo]

Highlight was telling us everything that was the same from the first Dragon's Dogma, along with analyzing obvious stuff from a previous trailer that we already knew. I don't think there was even any new footage?

 

[Quantum253]

I was hoping for something along the lines of:

Breath of Fire
Lost Planet
Viewtiful Joe
Dino Crisis
Maybe even Devil May Cry 6 (or similar title)

 

[ssringo]

So, the entire show was to announce Ghost Trick's demo, another Exoprimal beta and confirming stuff we already knew.

 

[Draugoth]

Since this showcase was trash,

here's my characters in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. Shrek and Fiona.

 

[Sephimoth]

That was absolute dogshit. The highlights were repeats

 

[Draugoth]

More likely for Exoprimal.

They are only talking about it at the post show.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

I don't understand what those who are complaining are about, Capcom is not some gaming behemoth with 30 projects, they quickly showed what they have without wasting our time and they have earned their trust over the past years.

 

[Quantum253]

So, the entire show was to announce Ghost Trick's demo, another Exoprimal beta and confirming stuff we already knew.

And a very heartfelt apology to fans or Pragmata

There was some extended footage from stuff that was in the trailer. Not much but a bit.

 

[Bartski]

3 seconds of Pragmata gameplay and DD2 looks interesting I guess.

Like I said. Banger games, shittiest showcases in existance, year after year. How is that even possible? Good night.

 

[Quantum253]

I'm going to take the Dragon's Dogma II with have gameplay next year with either a release that winter or 2025

 

[TheBROgamer]

I was hoping for something along the lines of:

Breath of Fire
Lost Planet
Viewtiful Joe
Dino Crisis
Maybe even Devil May Cry 6 (or similar title)

Great game but there was literally a 0% chance of this happening.

After calming down from my excitement about Exoprimal literally being saved from an early grave, my rating for this show is: C-

Some positive notes I wrote during the showcase:

Doing a Nintendo Direct style showcase this time was a good decision
Path of the Goddess short explanation of gameplay(Action + Strategy explains the camera angle)
Megaman X Dive Offline(Offline probably means they fixed the balancing to be less grindy)
Pragamata gameplay snippets
Ghost Trick Phantom Detective gameplay
Ace Attorney Apollo Trilogy
Saving Exoprimal by making it way more PvE focused
Tiny slice and explanation of Dragon's Dogma 2 gameplay(They're adding AI enhancements)
Ending with announcing a Capcom digital sale

Negatives:
Reusing the same gameplay from other presentations and repeated announcements like RE 4 VR(Capcom thinks their fans live in a bubble I guess).

As a last note, I didn't know Pragmata was even delayed and I don't think many others here knew either, and if they had said nothing and just showed gameplay snippets with a '2024' at the end, I think people would have been happy enough with that. That apology put into the trailer itself and also a letter at the end made it look a bit worse.

At least we saw some extra seconds of DD2 gameplay. Not sure which show was worse, Ubisoft or this one.

I rated this exactly the same as Ubisoft's show, but for different reasons. Ubisoft's had too much old school E3-style boring presentations but made up for it with lengthy gameplay showcases. Their show could have been 30 minutes like Capcom's if they cut the fat. Capcom's show was 30 minutes and straight to the point, but they were kind of lacking in terms of content and gameplay deep dives except for Exoprimal. If they had showed a bit more of DD2 and Path of the Goddess, I think people would have been content.

Ubisoft had 4 big pillars: Avatar, PoP Lost Crown, Star Wars, and AC Mirage. All 4 had lengthy gameplay
Capcom should have had at least 3 big pillars: Path of the Goddess, Exoprimal, and DD2. But instead they stacked the Exoprimal pillar and gave us snippets of the other two.

Dino Crisis Remake and RE4 dlc on the next state of play

 

[Neff]

I was hoping for something along the lines of: INSANE FAN FAVOURITE MEGATONS

Capcom's own shows are always low-key catch-up affairs, at most you'll get a port or DLC reveal. The big gun reveals are strictly for Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft shows.

 

[Evolved1]

I really did not expect them to just replay the DD trailer and basically say nothing. Sigh.

 

[Krathoon]

They got new Twitter icons on the Capcom Town site. I changed my avatar on Neogaf.

 

[BaneIsPain]

that is bad showcase

 

[Quantum253]

For most titles. Some of those are bigger, but way more low-key than a mainline FF, Starfield, etc.

 

[Alebrije]

From Better to worse :

Xbox
Devolver
Dorito Pope
Ubisoft
Capcom
Sony.

 

[oji-san]

It was kinda useless for me, same trailers for DD2 and Path of the Goddess, at least it was short.

 

[Krathoon]

They got Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry HD Collection, and Ace Attorney Trilogy real cheap on Steam.

 

[Gambit2483]

Nothing.

JFC, I step out for 45 minutes expecting a ton of crazy news when I get back and it's litterally like Capcom E3 2021 all over again....smdh

Not even RE4 DLC announcement??

 

[R6Rider]

I missed the showcase. What did they show?

 

[Draugoth]

I missed the showcase. What did they show?

Pragmata and Ace Attorney

 

[VAVA Mk2]

I missed the showcase. What did they show?

 

[F0rneus]

Capcom came in clutch to save Sony and Microsoft for not having the worst showcases of the summer!

 

[bender]

Ghost Trick, Apollo Justice, and Dragon's Dogma 2. Capcpom is the GOAT.

 

[Krathoon]

What was the first one called? It looked really good. Seem like it had yokai in it.

 

[Roman Empire]

What was the first one called? It looked really good. Seem like it had yokai in it.

The yokai exorcizing one was Path of the Goddess.

 

[supernova8]

Is this really the same trailer from yesterday?

Not only the same trailer, but then they show the exact same thing again only with the dude's voiceover. Same trailer 3 times in 24 hours? Even Redfall and Deathloop can't beat that

Also is it just me or did Capcom kinda "copy" Nintendo in their Direct format. The dude's voiceover sounds veeeery similar and the whole aesthetic looks the same. Almost like a "if Nintendo bought Capcom" scenario

 

[supernova8]

Funny reference for anyone living in Japan: Shu Takumi (the creator of Ghost Trick) is the exact type of old-ish Japanese dude that will try to talk you in a bar to practice his English but his talking points will be mind-numbingly boring and you end up nodding and giving shit responses to try and persuade him to fuck off.

I can imagine him saying "Oh do you za beatoruzu?"

Yeah I know I'm a horrible person, so what

 

[lestar]

ghost trick is the goat and is great capcom is re-releasing it in HD for the new platforms, but it felt strange they showcased a 10+ years old game as a new game

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Here wishing they would do a new Mega Man X game (or even remake) knowing it will never happen.

I wish a spin off of this baby.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

My heart is happy to see Pragmata.

Although I wished it was more of a mute and philosophical video game...

 

[GymWolf]

Nothing to show for mh paradise but you had the time to make a sorry ass trailer for pragmata? Really capcom?

 

[GymWolf]

Since this showcase was trash,

here's my characters in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen. Shrek and Fiona.

Thanks for the nightmares.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

What Capcom showed finally got me hooked.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Exoprimal looks like a game I'd like to play.

Kunitsu-Gami, Pragmata, Dragon's Dogma 2, Exoprimal all looked cool and fun to play.

Few gifs I made:

Kunitsu-Gami

Exoprimal

Pragmata
