What is Capcom's most iconic game, their absolute masterpiece?

When you think about Nintendo, it's Ocarina of Time. Square Enix has FF7. What is Capcom's?

Street Fighter 2, Monster Hunter World is the top selling and RE4 is the most iconic game in their biggest franchise but they haven't permeated pop culture like SF2.

Street Fighter 2

SF2, just because MHW sold the most doesn't mean it's the best, fucking RE5 was the previous top selling game they made

>mhw
>masterpiece

>Square Enix has FF7
DQ sold more.

RE4
There's absolutely no debate here.

It unironically is.

bibiwa

it's not even the best MH on a sony system

While I personally think RE4 is their GOAT out of personal bais you make a very sound argument for SF2. RE4 was a monster in one generation, whereas the impact SF2 made is still being felt to this day.

Mega Man 2, Final Fight and Strider were popular too.

As if they've even played another mh game.

any answer other tham SFII is objectively wrong

Street Fighter 2. It set the gold standard for fighting games going forward, it's pretty much the father of the fighting game genre.

>When you think about Nintendo, it's Ocarina of Time

No, it's Mario. Like SF2, Super Mario Bros is the game that popularized the platformer, plus Mario is the mascot of the company. Everyone knows who Mario is, you can't say the same about Link, a lot of people don't even know his name to the point they think Link is Zelda.

Objectively Street Fighter 2
RE4 bombed on release and every individual release sold worse than RE2's launch release (which happened when the PSX only had 25K~ install base). So it certainly isn't "when they hit big," let alone one of the more iconic RE titles, as that honour goes to the original trilogy.

megaman x is the perfect game

Anyone who doesn't say SF2 is an idiot.

Anyone who doesn't say REmake is an idiot

Street Fighter 2 and it's updates.

Nothing else even remotely comes close.

Capcom has an impressive line up of IPs, there's at least one game in each of their franchises that could be considered. Street Fighter II is a good pick for Iconic. They don't have a singular masterpiece.

Why is Street Fighter II updates?

Guessing he means the Turbo, Champion Edition, Hyper and stuff.

SF2 was capcom's highest selling title until MHW came out.
That said, SF2 is still Capcom's bread and butter, they are what put them on the map.

Here's the breakdown of which franchises bring in the most revenue

Monster Hunter > Resident Evil > Street Fighter > Megaman > DMC

Not including dead franchises like dogma, lost planet, deadrising and vs titles

Breath of Fire 3

street fighter is obvious.
people say re4 but that wrong

People who are saying anything other that SF2 don't understand the point of the thread. This thread isn't about your favorite capcom game, but rather what put them on the map as a successful developer/publisher.

The answer to that question will always be SF2.

Resident Evil 4 probably, but I personally love Dead Rising just as much.

Tbh they're just a fantastic company

It has to be Devil May Cry 5

LOL NO. Not when it debuted on the Gamecube of all things. If anything its SF2 or Megaman

Megaman 2 was years before SF2 and taught everyone who owned a NES that Capcom Logo On The Box = Dis The Good Shit.

No he wasn't. Captain Commando was their mascot. After they retired him, they had no official mascot. The space was occupied by Ryu and Mega Man, but Ryu would have a larger presences over Capcom's history than Mega Man.
A lot do you fucks over estimate Mega Man's success. After 2 and 3, the series went downhill receiving occasional revivals in spinoff titles.

MegaMan 2

>Captain Commando was their mascot
Y'know I keep hearing this. But literally only as a pointless clapback to any observer to say "No those characters that Capcom uses to promote itself as an entity aren't their mascot". When, and in what way was Captain Commando used as a mascot? Educate me.

I DO know that the NES Commando character was included on Capcom's logo page on later NES games at least. But he didn't resemble the later "Captain Commando", and I'm not sure some kind of combination of retconning and legacy actually makes a mascot.

Street Fighter II

if you were born earlier you'd remember the video game articles from re2 how it was praised everywhere, got 98+ scores and everyone telling how capcom did good work. no one ever had anything bad to say about it, it was a spectacle.

There's something about Capcom's designs that instantly make me want to play their games. At one point they were coming out with new IP's left and right, fun characters all around, great gameplay. I'm still hoping they come back to that.

Capcom has an interesting history of games but they've became really inconsistent.

But their absolute masterpiece? That is an entirely different question and the only reasonable answer is Ghost Trick.

>somehow managed to delete the line for mega-man as a whole and the conclusion
Fug. My bad.

But yeah basically those are their most iconic franchises and I'd say SF2 is their most iconic game just because of the cultural footprint of the franchise and its own importance/popularity in it. Chun Li ain't called the first lady of fighting games for nothing.

Megaman X

It's literally the best game in the series though.
Oh well, I won't be able to fix your shit taste.

They've still never made a game better than Freedom Unite. RE4 is close.

SF2 has such a big place in pop culture that no other capcom game matches it. You don't get songs named after Ada Wong from big industry whores. You could name games that have sold better than the more recent entries, or have never needed to go dormant. But still, random people on the street would know oh that is the one with hadoken right? Some normie tv show could make a references and not worry about alienating people. You aren't going to see big bang theory go

Attached: sf.png (593x768, 772K)

most definitely SF2, it spawned a genre and sold millions from beginning to end

Street Fighter 2 is their number one game in every regard. Sales (if you lump every title update together), popularity, impact and recognition. It is the "iconic" title that put Capcom on the map.

After that, Resident Evil 2 and 4 respectively each spiked the RE series to being the second most popular and best-selling series. If not for SF, RE would be the series Capcom would be most well-known for worldwide.

Monster Hunter gets big sales for Capcom consistently, but its popularity is still mostly localized in Japan. However, Monster Hunter World is actually Capcom's highest selling individual title as of now, and it didn't need a half dozen title updates and re-releases like SF.

What's capcom's next move bros?

Monster Hunter World 2

Street Fighter 2 or Mega Man how is this a question?

>Re5 that high
See I knew I wasnt the only one who enjoyed that coop

Another Street Fighter, another RE remake and a sequel, maybe a new Megaman collection and since Monster Hunter World was such a hit, they'll likely keep capitalizing on that. Either with more expansions like Iceborne or a new game.

Capcom's coop games are some of my favorites. think we'll get a lost planet 2 style game ever again?

Hopefully. Capcom is in an upswing as of late but it's hard to say whether they'll go back to their old ways or if they'll just go full Nintendo and only give their big IP's any time of day. They have a shitload of great IP's just waiting for some attention but I guess making a AAA game nowadays is too big an investment to risk on smaller IP's.

Attached: 1581284502571.jpg (2161x1530, 1.65M)

Capcom has basically confirmed that their current plan is to heavily focus on 5 IPs (MH/SF/RE/DMC/MM) with little deviation. They'll make games outside of that from time to time but I imagine they'll mostly release budget titles or titles from their veteran devs (Itsuno is almost certainly making Dragon's Dogma 2 right now).

Capcom didn't develop MM9, that was Inti Creates. Also 4, 10 & 11 are better than 9.

I know it's unlikely, but new entries of older franchises would be neat.

Shinji Mikami's best game until Vanquish.

he beat his wife. i cant listen to him

OoT is definitely not Nintendo's masterpiece in any stretch, that would be usurped by that game that lives rent free in people's head and most notable for infecting RDR2 threads. Capcom from a pure original and interesting point of view would be Dragon's Dogma. RE4 is a close contender but it is just another swing at RE that struck gold.

Attached: emberbrap.png (250x250, 145K)

When did he say that? Pretty sure he preferred the old MH formula over World.

>heavily focus on 5 IPs (MH/SF/RE/DMC/MM) with little deviation
That's a bit of a shame. Hopefully their veteran devs try out some more interesting stuff. I'm still hoping an actual competent team gets Dead Rising back into shape and hopefully pretends 4 never happened.

>Capcom has basically confirmed that their current plan is to heavily focus on 5 IPs (MH/SF/RE/DMC/MM)
They can say that, but it really means MH, RE and if Itsuno threatens to throw tantrum on the ride home DMC will get all the money. They really need to invest properly in SF, especially with some bigger companies looking into the genre.

Attached: 1557531673428.png (267x211, 35K)

Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games but objectively it's not a masterpiece. It's extremely original and unique mechanically and in its setting but there's too many small problems that pop up that drag things down a little too often.

Itsuno is done with DMC. He implied in interviews that 5 was his swansong with the series in the same way that 5 was the end of the "Sons of Sparda" story. He's making Dragon's Dogma 2 and then will either make a new IP or drop another ultimatum so he can make Rival Schools 3 before he retires. DMC is now in the hands of the 5 team and will probably make 5SE as a test run before doing 6 without Itsuno.

It wasn't called Street Fighter though, it was called Fighting Street.

Street Fighter II, especially since it was a game changer and they are so many versions of the game.

Throwing more money at the fighting game division isn't going to solve shit, the problem lies with the fact their developer ethic is insular, just like Square Enix with the first edition of FF14. There's a video about it, hopefully someone will find it to show you.

>or drop another ultimatum so he can make Rival Schools 3 before he retires.
I wonder if that one will ever go through. Despite being so known for them Capcom is awfully funny about how it treats fighters. Sometimes shafting its biggest, sometimes dumping loads into games like SFxT. I wouldn't be shocked if RS3 came out sooner as a stop gap between SFV and SF6. But I also wouldn't be shocked if they never fund it no matter what.

Only some ports were

>with the fact their developer ethic is insular
I'd say it is more that they suffered the earliest and most from Capcom's talent bleeding. Everyone important was gone after SF3 so they've depended on outsourcing for ages.

They put Ryozo (the series producer of Monster Hunter) in the spot Ono has been since SFIV, so their next game should at least show some change.

Absolutely Street Fighter 2, but Mega Man 2 isnt far behind either.

Not quite. Ono hasn't changed his position, while Ryozo has a sort of equal but different position. My running theory is this is the old Japanese make life shit till they choose to quit routine. Ono has looked stressed out for a while now.

Objectively RE4 since it’s much newer & has surpassed its acclaim

Delusional weebs, as always.

If Ono didn't quit when Capcom refused to let him go to the hospital until the workday was over after having a fucking heart attack (or something similar, I forget exactly what but it was his heart) then I don't know what they'd need to do to him short of actively having other Capcom employees publicly embarrass and shame him.

Attached: 1552169510822.png (865x570, 970K)

that video is nonsense, at least when it comes to capcom fighters.
the big problem with both SFV and MVCI was money. with MVCI marvel company politics were also a problem but neither games got the development time and polish they required.
over time SFV fixed most of the issues people had with the game. most of this wouldve been avoidable if the game had a year or two extra years of dev time.

its bullshit too. SFV sold more than titles like DMCV, yet one game had five years of dev time while the other one was rushed out in what people assume was less than a year.

Resident Evil Remake (GC)

SF2 codified the fighting game genre, RE popularized the horror genre, and RE4's DNA can be found in almost any action game going into the 7th gen. These are easily their most influential games, though DMC is probably up there too.

Capcom's been doing a good job circling the wagons and repairing their IPs in the last few years, but I hope they start giving their teams more freedom again soon. Capcom used to have a good track record of nurturing talented devs sucked at retaining them though but I don't see how it's possible with their current ultra-conservative approach.

Maybe they'll make a decent fucking fighting game again if we're lucky.

Definitely a cool game. Shame that it's actually a licensed game based on a Japanese novel so there was never really a chance for a sequel.

A pun, or homophone I suppose, doesn't make something a mascot.

Without a doubt Street Fighter II. It's cultural impact is legend. Few series can compare.

Only people who's first one was RE4 think that it even touched the massive impact that RE2 had. You HAD to be there. RE4 literally doesn't touch what it was like to be around when RE2 dropped.

that’s just because we’re close to it in time. give it 5 years and it’ll be truly iconic

lmao ok kid

>people legit saying RE4 isn’t iconic
Everything about RE4 has gone on to inspire multitudes of FPS genre games. The very reason everyone has been adoring the REmakes was because they’ve been updated to the standards RE4 set 15 years ago as opposed to sticking with fucking tank controls. Nothing about the trilogy has aged as well as RE4; Controls, camera, tone, the bosses, the fucking controls.

How fucking dare you.

Street Fighter 2 duh...Its the steping Stone of fighting games

Mega Man 2 and fuck anybody that doubts it. Mega Man is still their mascot and identity regardless of sales.

>You HAD to be there
In other words
>I have a nostalgia bias so I'm right and you're wrong

This. It's like the retards saying re2 don't understand what iconic means.

street fighter 2. was this supposed to be a hard question?

Starting in the late 2000s to early 2010s Ryu quietly became their mascot worldwide over Rock. In Japan you could argue it's Palicoes.

monster hunter wouldn't exist without street fighter (and, to a lesser extent, mega man) putting capcom on the map.

Everyone else probably says RE but for me it's Dragon's dogma, Megaman Legends, and dead rising (until they ruined it)

>Mega Man is still their mascot and identity regardless of sales.
Mega Man has 7 iterations but people only care about Mega Man 2 and maybe X1, most people don't give a shit about the franchise

Okami.

This. People need to get that Mega Man has always been a series that manages to make some money back on small budgets rather than big sellers. The franchise has dozens of games, even around 100, but the only games to hit that 1 Million mark are MM2, MM3, MMX, MMBN4, MM Legacy Collection 1, and IIRC 11 recently hit that mark.

Mega Man 2 is absolutely iconic, but the franchise as a whole was less so and was saturated due to its consistency during the age of cheaper game development. That's why 9 & 10 were 8-bit and given to Inti, so that they would be cheap to make and easy to profit off of.

No that's captain commando literally Cap.Com.

I've never played BotW, or any Zelda game (and I doubt I'd like BotW because I don't like open world games), but man you need to calm down with the buzzwords.

Shame he never seemed to catch on. He had his one game, then he was in MvC 1&2, and then nothing outside of occasional cameos. The most relevant he's been since Marvel 2 was in that commercial for the Beat-em-Up Bundle.

Not MHW.

Go back and see the reception megaman got when joining smash bros, he's easily one of gaming's most recognizable characters even when Capcom was doing fuck all with him.

Megaman is iconic as hell, it just doesnt translate to sales.
There must be millions that emulated his games without ever purchasing one.

Capcoms masterpiece can't be anything modern, I'd say the most modern you could get would probably be RE4 but considering shit like the older street fighters and shitnlike DMC which kickstarted entire genres it'd have to be one of those.

MM2, MMX, SFIV and RE4

Nigger imagine having THIS much lack of self awareness. Same literally applies to you. I was there for both games, RE4 did not have the same impact as RE2 culture wise. It was massive.

Sounds like you are a fucking underage to me. No doubt you think the thread is wrong about SFII as well.

>sf4

>the people who say RE2 don't know "iconic"
Are you just pretending to be retarded or are you actually that clueless? Do you imagine the RE series as some niche unknown title before RE4? Are you fucking stupid? Capcom didn't just decide to remake RE2 last year for shits and giggles user, are you 12?

Even if you haven't played any of the SF games, you would still find parodies, tributes, cartoons, anime,toys and movies of it that helped it reach everyone in some way.

cope f*ve shitter

The most iconic Capcom thing is the Resident Evil movies.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

They've made their money back but I imagine that Capcom's most successful games were both more profitable and more iconic. The RE movies were the kinds of mindless action flicks that people see when they just want to go see a movie and don't care what.

I do wonder if the Monster Hunter movie will do well or flop.

I think X Legacy Collection also made one million

Makes sense. Last official numbers I saw were that at the start of 2019 XLC1 had done like 930k and MM11 870k. I knew 11 did it because it came out at the start of October while XLC1 was in Summer so 11 actually sold faster.

I could see Zero/ZX Collection hitting 1 Million by the end of the year perhaps.

SF2, RE2 or RE4

>Where the fuck is MMX9 Capcom!

They confirmed that the next mainline Mega Man franchise game is in development from the 11 team. I have to imagine it's either a new sub-series or X9. I'd like 12 but I don't think it'll happen this soon.

Yeah but the collection consist of two games, so it's probably a million only when you count both XLC1 and 2

They've said a Mega Man game is in development, so something's happening. Whether it'll be 12 , a sequel to a subseries, or a new thing like Universe isn't certain, though.

I think Zero/ZX has lower expectations since it's sort of a spin-off to X, but I could see it breaking their expectations.
