Capcom promises more HD remakes – What do you want to see?

Onimusha 2

Capcom is like The Rolling Stones of the video game industry. Both are past their creative primes, but both remain popular in the hearts and minds of their fanbases thanks to an undeniable legacy. Because of this, fans would rather experience older material than blast through more recent attempts at the big stage.

Back in the day, Capcom was a groundbreaking revolutionary act that set the stage for generations of video games with high quality design and the technological knowledge to make its products look oh so good. Recent attempts have petered out with the company no longer operating with the same gusto.

Noticing this trend that people actually like its older stuff, Capcom pledged to make more HD remasters available in the coming year’s in a Q&A on its financial report.

HD remasters of our catalog hit titles will be one of our key business activities,. Overseas, it is becoming difficult to sell these lower-priced and re-mastered titles at stores because of the declining number of stores and sales area limitations. Therefore, we started aggressive digital download sales activities.

These activities created new demand for these titles. For example, overseas download sales of Resident Evil (HD Remastered) in the past fiscal year were far higher than we expected. It is not a risk but rather the growth of the download sales channel gives users more options. We regard this as growth in opportunities to have allow access for more people to enjoy our games.

I’m all for it. I mean, deep down is in no rush to come out, and I’m not really convinced that Resident Evil 7 will be up to snuff yet. If this means a chance to play some old favorites with a face lift in the meantime, so be it.

What HD remaster would you like to see from Capcom? Dragon’s Dogma with a few tweaks might be a nice upgrade, but I will throw all of my support behind the Onimusha games. Capcom’s excellent PlayStation trilogy would definitely hold up today if given the chance to be free of the tank controls like the Resident Evil HD Remaster was given, and Onimusha 2 would especially have an extra impact thanks to its wildly replayable campaign.

Keep in mind that an HD remaster is different from an HD remake. I want to see Resident Evil 2 given the same treatment as the first game too, but building a remake from the ground up is a totally different prospect than simply boosting the resolution of its resources. What HD remaster do you want to see from Capcom next?

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone.

Pirate Bay co-founder won’t be playing NES in his jail cell

Fredrik Neij, a co-founder of The Pirate Bay, the massive torrent site, was arrested last year for copyright infringement. That’s okay, though. He knew how he was going to spend his free time. Really, it’s not too different from what most gamers might as for: Nintendo. All day, every day. Unfortunately for Neij, prison authorities had some issues with the request. It’s not that video games are against the rules in Swedish prisons, though. That’s actually not too uncommon. To get a piece of hardware into the prison, though, it needs to be opened up so that it can be checked for contraband items (let’s just assume Nintendo-themed shivs) hidden inside. With a DVD player or something like that, it’s not too tough, but the NES uses special security screws to prevent people from tampering with the system or getting at the hardware for piracy purposes. For this reason, the Swedish authorities chose to deny his request. Their explanation is that getting into the console without destroying i
