Earlier we reported that Capcom will be making a very special PlayStation 3 announcement this week (in just over 2 days). With no clues as to what this announcement could be, our very own Justin Pinter, Journalist and PR guy here at PSU, thought he’d throw a few ideas out there, some realistic, and others far fetched.
Editor’s Note: The predictions don’t reflect PSU’s opinion, only Justin’s!
Realistic Guesses:
1. Dead Rising 2 / Lost Planet Sequel: We all know the sequels are coming and now that Capcom has had time to work on PS3 hardware there should be no reason why neither of these titles sequels should appear on the PS3.
2. "Capcom PS3 Action Project" / New IP: It could be likely that Capcom has one more new IP up its sleeve. According to announcements made at TGS 2005, there was a secret action title in development, outside of DMC4, for the PS3.
3. Next gen version of older titles: With so many franchises in Capcom’s library of titles, it wouldn’t surprise me if they announced a PS3 version of the following games: Onimusha, Dino Crisis, Street Fighter, or Breath of Fire.
Far Fetched Guesses:
1. Resident Evil 5 goes PS3 exclusive: Back in May, many rumors sprang that Capcom had dropped Xbox 360 development of RE5 and that the game would be exclusive on the PS3. The rumor came from a variety of Japanese media outlets, but was continually denied by Capcom. For us, it would be great to see the series return to its roots as a PlayStation exclusive.
2. Monster Hunter 3 still in development for PS3: We all have heard that development on Monster Hunter 3 has been moved to the Wii, but perhaps with the recent move to support the PS3 more during 2008, they put more money into the development and will release the game on both platforms.
So, there you have it. My wishlist for Capcom announcements. If you have any ideas that you’d like to share with us, please post them here or on our forums. Stay tuned for more updates.
