Higgins! I need someone to examine this giant red spot on this guy's shirt, which doesn't seem to have a puncture wound. This poor fella may have been allergic to ketchup. Sanchez, you take the mime in for questioning.

Oh we have ways of MAKING YOU TALK.

Mime: *invisible gasp*

Fucking hell, a port of RE4 sold 1.5 million. RE UC sold 1.5 million on Wii. Those games cost half as much, likely a third as much to make and market. And yet what happens next? Chop till you fucking drop. This is why I give Capcom flak.  

Meh. They also sold for less as well, at least $10 and more less so you need to look at what the profit margin was to see the whole picture. Still it's all where your preferences lie and mine lie with the 360 so that's where I want to see the bulk of their focus on so I'm quite happy with their current practices myself.

Lost my link due to powercut. Anyhow, bullshit. Lost planet cost $20 million to make $20 million to budget. A $40 million game that sells the same as RE UC, which was not a budget release that costs a quarter as much to make. Bullshit on Capcom's part. I can understand where you personally want games to land. But business wise and delivering content fairly and according to sales? Bullshit. They are shafting the people who bought those games on Wii.

Red Steel was an original ground up effort that cost Ubi $10 million. It sold one and a half million too and they are working on a sequel. Those two RE games both sell that amount and Capcom's response is to get 10 guys porting and downgrading assets for a cash in, really poor looking version of a two year old game, whilst working on the proper sequel for next gen systems?

Thankfully I'm in Melbourne, so all I got was a bit of smoke and a reddish sky last night. I went to my cousin's today in Hopperscrossing, though, and my Aunt is a teacher, and a lot of her students have friends and family who have died in it, and there was danger that one of my cousin's houses could have been burnt down. Thankfully it wans't. Death toll is up to 135, but apparently it oculd easily make it up to 200. There was a lot of smoke in the sky on the way back too. Couldn't see anything passed the city.

I heard that some of the fires are due to arsonists. I mean really what kind of asshole do you have to be to start a forest fire.

Sorry for the late reply GG.

I'm very forunate to not be living anywhere near where the fires are.

The death toll is at 173 (as I write this), which is fucking horrible. And I beat the douche bags who lit said fires are feeling practically the same, if not WORSE.

Lord knows what's going to happen if the people get their hands on them before the police.

But enough about that.

Those guys have to be crapping their pants right now.

I'm not sure what the hell they're trying to say with that Killzone 2 review. One second ITS GREAT, the next second NO ITS NOT.

Welcome to EDGE magazine reviews

Metroid Prime? Are you saying visually? Because gamewise that game would own, anytime, any year.

It doesn't solely matter on simply how much the games cost to make and how many they sold. You need to see how much profit they actually bring in for Capcom. The amount of money that goes directly to Capcom from each copy sold may be different per console the game is on. RE:UC sold for at least $10 cheaper then LP or DR sold for because that's the rat Wii games sell at. You also need to factor in other residuals made from things such as downloadable content.

Another thing to consider is that if the Wii lacks the power to bring what they envision their games should be like then they'll put them on the more powerful systems which is entirely their choice. They're not "shafting" Wii owners at all. They never alluded to putting their main franchises on the system at all in fact they've been quite upfront of where they're main support would lie. It's not they're fault that Wii owners see all these great games coming out and they want them too. Capcom isn't obliged to bring them out for the Wii also. If Wii-only owners want the best of what Capcom has to offer they'll have to get either a 360 or a PS3 as well, that's simply the way it is. You have a 360 so I don't know why you just don't get Capcom's games on that system.
