Capcom has shared more details on its recent fiscal year 2013 results. Though Resident Evil 6 is still cited as a disappointment and DmC: Devil May Cry is only "stable," the company noted that Dragon's Dogma became an unexpected hit.

Capcom recently cited its earnings for the fiscal year that ended on March 31, and fell short of its targets. The company's analysis concluded that this was due to a drop in quality due to overseas outsourcing, and that poor retail sales ended up hurting its digital content projections by extension.
Valve loves collaborating with third-party partners whenever they come a-knocking. Capcom has announced that the upcoming PC version of Resident Evil 6 will have cross-over features with Left 4 Dead 2. Best of all, the cross-over features will be free for players of either game to access and play.
Resident Evil 6 is preparing for its March 22 release on PC, and you may want to do the same. You can now use a benchmark test to make sure your PC is up to the task of running the game, just in case the system specs weren't enough information for you.

Resident Evil has fallen on hard times. After Resident Evily 6 garnered mixed reviews and poor sales, Capcom was left searching for answers. Whether it was the mass-market appeal or Resident Evil overload, the company seems to have decided on at least one fix: make the experience more focused.

With five million copies shipped so far, Resident Evil 6 is by no means a failure for Capcom. However, it has repeatedly been called a disappointment by the publisher, who expected the game to ship upwards of seven million units. What could account for such a sharp decline from its initially projected sales?
"We are currently analyzing the causes, which involve our internal development operations and sales operations. We have not yet reached a clear conclusion," Capcom told investors.
Like zombies in a shopping mall, Resident Evil has been crowding the market in the last couple of years. Resident Evil 6 marked the fourth release in only two years, after ORC, Revelations, and Mercenaries 3D. Capcom seems to recognize that perhaps flooding the market isn't the best of ideas, at least if recent comments from Revelations producer Masachika Kawata are any indication.

When Resident Evil 6 shambles onto PCs on March 22, it will pack an extra punch. We knew it would be getting the "No Hope" campaign difficulty out of the box, but today Capcom announced that it will also tick up the toughness meter on the Mercenaries mode.
Resident Evil 6 is the game Capcom keeps on trying to fix, in light of lower than expected sales. The last title update tweaked the game's camera--one of the biggest flaws of the original game. The next title update adds a new "QTE assist" feature for all difficulties, declawing one of the game's most annoying gameplay features.
This may be the single best thing about Resident Evil 6. You'll be able to unlock new costumes for Resident Evil 6, inspired by the classic PS1-era games. Ada, Chris, Leon, and more can don blocky polygonal wares as they run around the campaign. And in a rather non-Capcom move, these alternate outfits can be unlocked for free.
Capcom has sharply revised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending in March. Net sales are expected to be 11% less than previously expected, while operating income is expected to drop over 36 percent. The reason? "Sales of the major new title Resident Evil 6 were initially strong, but subsequently weakened," Capcom explained to investors.
In case the generally middling critical reception hasn't dissuaded you from picking up Resident Evil 6, you might be interested in holding out for the PC version. Capcom announced that the port will come on March 22, and will be enhanced with No Hope mode and Ada Wong co-op right from the get-go.
The "first wave" of DLC for Resident Evil 6 will be available on Xbox 360 on December 18th. As announced months ago, the DLC will be a timed exclusive on Xbox Live, and should arrive on PS3 in the future.
Three new multiplayer modes will be available for Capcom's zombie shooter: Predator, Survivors, and Onslaught. Each will be available for 320 Microsoft Points ($4), or bundled together for 720 Microsoft Points ($9).
We didn't like Resident Evil 6. And one of the reasons was the game's much-too-close camera. Your character takes up so much screen real estate, it's often impossible to see what's in front of your character. Taking cover only exacerbates the problem, rendering the feature nearly useless.
While the game has already sold millions of copies, Capcom isn't ignoring criticism. In fact, an upcoming patch promises to fix this critical issue by adding a wider camera option.
Yes, Resident Evil 6 has some DLC tucked away on-disc. But, Capcom is making that content available for free next week.
A title update coming "soon" will add two new pieces of content to Capcom's zombie shooter. The patch will add a new "No Hope" difficulty mode to the game, aptly described as "super hard." In addition, a new co-op partner will be added for the Ada Wong campaign (currently single-player only).
