Capcom tells fans to have faith in Spyborgs

Tyranitar24 | June 03, 2008 | News | Wii 
Capcom announced the game Spyborgs earlier today, which is going to be a science-fiction action game. After the announcement, some fans were disappointed about Spyborgs and wrote down their opinions on Capcom's official forums. Some time passed and then Christian Svensson, vice president of business development and strategic planning, responded to the fans: "The team working on Spyborgs is an all-star team of some of the best character action game developers in the world, backed by us. Have faith." To read his full response, look at the quote below.
Earlier today, publisher Capcom revealed two new Wii projects, one of them a science-fiction action title called Spyborgs from Bionic Games. Some Nintendo fans were disappointed with the game announcements and made their opinions known on Capcom's official message board. Needless to say, it didn't take long for the company's always-listening vice president of business development and strategic planning, Christian Svensson, to reply with a strong show of support for the title and a promise of good things to come. We've quoted his response verbatim below:


Dark Void [PS3, 360 title] and Spyborgs are the two biggest titles our office is working on. To say that either of them isn't an incredibly high priority for the company, with major resources against them would be a pretty big misunderstanding of the reality.
The team working on Spyborgs is an all-star team of some of the best character action game developers in the world, backed by us. Have faith.

This is a game that is incredibly thoughtful in its design, incredibly varied in its mechanics and will be incredibly fun to play (both alone or with a buddy/son or daughter/father or mother) when its done.

The initial reaction here I swear is the EXACT reaction so many of you posters had when we first revealed Zack & Wiki. Somehow, Z&W is now a poster-child title for the Wii in your eyes. Mark my words... you will feel exactly the same way about the level of quality in Spyborgs when it is done.

    This doesn not have the name Street Fighter, Megaman, Final Fight, Breath of Fire, Red Earth, Monster Hunter, Marvel Vs. Capcom, or Resident Evil in it. Of course Cappy Fanboys don't like it.

    Capcom is like the polar opposite of Nintendo. They absolutely refuse to push their old IP in new and interesting directions. >_>

    That wouldn't make them Polar Opposites. That would make them exactly the same. Except Capcom is mainly based on Fighting Games and Beat Em' Up's.

    I wish they would push Megaman back into old, good directions.

    I really hope people support Capcom this time. Both Z&W and Okami were fantastic original games with a ton of style, but neither were appreciated by gamers. I fear this game will be much the same, with a lot of style but no sales.

    Spyborgs looks kinda cute. Like a game that I would have enjoyed playing on the N64 as a child. I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how it turns out.
