After Street Fighter 6, it seems Capcom can do no wrong. So why is there no hype surrounding Exoprimal? The game has just released today and yet no one has really talking about it. The steam reviews are pretty low for a game released by AAA studio. The reviews on steam aren't that great as well.

 

[Schmendrick]

Because it looks, and always has looked, kinda "meh"? So "meh" indeed that I didn't even know it's out...

 

[LostDonkey]

Talking about what?

That's why.

 

[Jadsey]

I’ve played about 3-4 hours today and I’m done.

The gameplay is passable but nothing special. The others aspects of the game are quite poor.

 

[German Hops]

I guess this would be the spiritual successor to Lost Planet?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Poor marketing and poor decision making regarding the game.

 

[Astral Dog]

It looks like an experimental title,its not part of a big franquise,multiplayer focused,marketing seems very modest

Sales and awareness may grow depending on WoM,but i don't expect much

 

[Labolas]

But Capgods though. What happened to that. I thought Capcom was untouchable.

 

[MiguelItUp]

It always had a vibe that felt off to me. It almost felt like a game that one of the devs REALLY wanted to do for a long time, so they finally let him do it knowing that it probably wouldn't do well. Maybe now was the time as they've been doing SO well that it won't affect their overall success.

They've had SO many players asking for a Dino Crisis remake. But then they make this, and even include a character that looks almost identical to Regina, which I thought was a strange move, lol.

But Capgods though. What happened to that. I thought Capcom was untouchable.

They had a period a years ago where they really weren't doing that well. It felt like the worst period for Capcom IMO. But then they came back in a huge way. One mediocre or below release won't affect them. The interest in it was already pretty niche.

 

[March Climber]

It would need a few more changes in framework and the entire removal of any PvP elements.

 

[Lokaum D+]

No one cares about gass

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Do it and I'll buy it immediately.

Yeah I remember StreetxTekken, DmC, and MVCi. Real talk, the game isn't that bad. I am a bit surprised the game isn't doing well already.

 

[acm2000]

ive just finished the tutorial and first area where it dumps you to the home screen finally, its shit and its dog ugly too.

 

[CanYouFlyBobby?]

cause it looks like a xbox 360 imported bargain bin game

 

[Holammer]

It looks terrible. On a positive note, it does look like something classic Capcom used offer at the arcades and the PS2 era.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

The first rule of Exoprimal is …

(The second rule is the same as the first btw.)

 

[Spyxos]

I played it today, yeah it is not good. Even Capcom can make boring games.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Exactly. There was a period where a lot of people were like, "Yo, what's going on over at Capcom?...." Because for the longest Capcom did pretty damn well. They weren't really known to have a constant block of sinkers.

I figured it wouldn't be bad, just something that isn't for everyone. It felt like a pretty out there game for a select group of fans. I respect it though, it looked strange, and you don't see many AAA devs releasing something like that nowadays. What's odd is that they clearly felt pretty confident about it because they did so many livestream segments on it. But it never really felt like the majority were into it.

 

[Alebrije]

Because Even Capcom realized the game is trash..so better on Gamepass than nothing.

 

[[Sigma]]

This is the one game with Capcom's name on it that i'm not interested in. Got Ghost Trick Phantom Detective on deck though.

 

[ConcealedBlaze]

Gamepass is becoming the place mediocre games are dumped lol.

Has any good game debuted on Gamepass? Psychonauts 2?

 

[Jigsaah]

Capcom dropped this game day and date on gamepass. Should tell you everything you need to know.

this is an Outriders-esque move.

 

[GHG]

Because it's not a good game and they flat out knew it wasn't going to be a good game so didn't even bother to give it a pre-release push.

 

[Jigsaah]

Gamepass is becoming the place mediocre games are dumped lol.

Plague Tale Requiem was awesome.

Ori and Will of the Wisps I think was day and date too.

Atomic Heart was great to me, a lotta folks were luke warm on it. I really liked it though.

High on Life was awesome.

Pentiment is not my cup of tea but I've heard people say it was good.

The Ascent was troublesome on PC due to performance issues and honestly making my PC run really hot. But the game was fun for what I would allow myself to play.

Outriders was fun, I wouldn't say great, but it was still AAA and decent

Trying to mention games that aren't owned by Microsoft. Editing the list as I think of more.

 

[Clear]

Looked to me like a fun F2P game. Silly gimmick but I could imagine it being a laugh to play with friends.

Price point is just dumb though.

As part of GP, sure I can see it getting some traction. But at retail... you need to make a pitch that offers better value for money.

 

[Revolutionary]

I said it in the other Exoprimal thread, but this game is the definition of mediocre.

 

[Edder1]

Dinosaurs falling out of the sky? You serious? It's the epitome of uninspired and drab that has filled the industry at the moment.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Gaas

 

[ssringo]

Capcom's continued efforts to make a multiplayer game is rather humorous. And they still refuse to (re)release Outbreak.

But Capgods though. What happened to that. I thought Capcom was untouchable.

I'll still take Capcom's library over

*checks list*

literally everyone else.

 

[dorkimoe]

it looked like a game that should be in an arcade...20 years ago

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Talking about what?

That's why.

I have never even heard this title mentioned until now, so yeah.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Game is mid, but I've seen some users on reeee who are hyped about it lol.

 

[Drizzlehell]

There's was a Steam review right at the top which explained that Capcom basically ignored everything that the community asked for during the beta and there is no pure PvE and no campaign, only mindless repetitive grind of PvP or that shitty hybrid PvEvP modes.

Unless they add some regular-ass PvE and campaign missions, I have zero interest in playing this game. The amount of content that they released at 60 dollar price tag is insulting to say the least.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Game looks terrible and will spawn 700 "Live Service is dead, see!" YouTube videos. And I will watch Every. Last. One.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

The amount of Gampa$$ they will get from just installs and 5 min of play probably covered development. M$ pulling out all the stops trying to get fresh content.

 

[mortal]

I thought it looked mediocre from that very first trailer, and seems that many others did too.

They can't all be grand slams.

 

[deriks]

It's too bland

They could also do a better marketing. Game was announced like a big budget indie game

 

[ShadowLag]

Weird name that doesn't resonate or explain what the game is, generic and boring premise (fight dinosaurs or something pew pew) and next to zero marketing that I'm aware of. I actually had no idea it was even an online game, let alone a team-based one, until opening this thread - and I've seen trailers for it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Capcom already has the models of the dinosaurs, it already has enough to start the release of a Dino Crisis.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Because it's not Dino Crisis.

Also online team based shooter games just aren't for me.

If the game had a single player component then might be worth a shot but it doesn't so meh.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Dinosaurs falling out of the sky? You serious? It's the epitome of uninspired and drab that has filled the industry at the moment.

Actually it's a very fun and 90s concept that games should have. It's the PvP League of Legends type gameplay that seems to be trash.

 

[Ansphn]

The Gamepass effect. Xbox don't advertise anything that goes into Gamepass.

 

[havoc00]

All the normies got filtered by the capcom account requirement

 

[Labolas]

Game is mid, but I've seen some users on reeee who are hyped about it lol.

Lol, really? Nevermind, the less I know the better.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Doodoo GaaS title. That's why.

 

[WX3]

When I launched the game the RE ENGINE logo appeared and i got a little excited. I did not expect that to be the highlight of my time with the game.

 

[SSfox]

Dogturd game

First Capcom game I'm not buying in a while

 

[Quezacolt]

Because i wanted a new dinocrisis, not a GaaS product

 

[nikos]

It's a fun, low pressure (so far) multiplayer arcade shooter. Kind of feels like a modern old-school arcade game.

GOTY? No, but I'm willing to bet most people will shit on it without ever playing it.
