Capcom is considered one of the most famous Japanese companies and the most beloved by gamers around the world, thanks to the generally high quality of its pioneering games and the great experiences provided by its legendary historical games such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter and others.

But as time went by, the company's great works were not free from errors and aspects that it could not present in an ideal way, as it had some failed experiments that would have had a lot of potential if they had been presented in a different style and given additional time for it, and in today's article we will talk about 5 video games that fell below Capcom's level, this does not mean that it was bad in every sense of the word, but it failed to leave its mark and reach the usual level of the company's games.

Dead Rising 4

The previous games in the series about fighting hordes and regiments of zombies, Dead Rising, were excellent results, which led the developer in its fourth part, Dead Rising 4, to try to take it to a higher level than the first three parts, as players were given more freedom of movement and exploration and brought back to them a hero. beloved original novel by Frank West.

But in the end, the fourth game couldn't keep up, as it showed how much time had consumed it, as its mechanics and design began to show their long life, which made players completely feel that it was an old game, as it was somewhat traditional and didn't present any new and strong ideas to stand out from the rest of the games in the world. At that time, the result was that the series stopped completely after this part failed to reach the required level.

Devil May Cry 2

Let's go back in time, to the PS2 era in particular. After the great success of the first game in the Devil May Cry action series, fans of the series eagerly awaited the second part and built great dreams and hopes for it, but Capcom failed at the time to deliver it in an incredible way, as the game Devil May Cry was not May Cry 2 is just a shadow of an attempt to imitate the first game, but it greatly diminishes its great potential by offering players an unchallenging gameplay.

Furthermore, the game offered combat that was a bit slower than the first installment and had little impact on the players' emotions, unlike the first game. However, there were some good ideas, such as the introduction of acrobatic maneuvers and dodging, but Dante and his fans definitely deserved a better experience than Devil May Cry 2, which was rated as the worst in the entire series! Fortunately, most of these issues were resolved with the next installment, Devil May Cry 3, Dante's Awakening.

Exoprimal

Exoprimal may be one of the least engaging player experiences of any game Capcom has released in recent years, with the dinosaur-based team shooter proving to be somewhat chaotic and overly fast-paced.

It was also plagued by duplicate content largely due to the fact that it lacked a variety of ideas that could be used. The development team still tries to constantly support it, but no one can deny the fact that it is a game that did not achieve its grand goal, and did not reach the level required by Capcom fans or even game lovers. Collective shot.

Marvel vs Capcom Infinite

The latest game in the famous Marvel vs Capcom series has not earned it a very good reputation, due to its lack of content and its apparent diversity, and the limited and clearly reintroduced list of fighting characters that are present in the list of fighters from the previous game, Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Not to mention that the gameplay had a lot of room for improvement and failed to deliver, so Marvel vs Capcom Infinite fell short of the legendary talent demonstrated by the Osaka house in producing the Picchiaduro fighting game, and Capcom wasted this truly valuable opportunity to shine. And the shine of their hands.

Resident evil 6

Fans of the survival horror series Resident Evil had high hopes for the sixth installment in 2012 before its release, as it would be the biggest and most ambitious installment in the entire series, especially with the spread of news of the existence of more than one playable character, but unfortunately Resident Evil 6 ended up being... It is one of the most frustrating and controversial games in the series of all time.

The game did not skimp on the many and varied content and very exciting events, but it moved away from the beloved and traditional approach of the series and stopped being a horror and survival game, and became an action game and over-the-top excitement similar to a Hollywood movie, which left many Resident Evil fans very upset, some of whom even described it as similar to the game Battle Field, especially in the part related to the character Chris Rietveld, who was like an open battlefield!

After the generally negative reception that Resident Evil 6 received, Capcom reorganized its priorities and focused on the roots of the series with its next game, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, which once again embraced the horror atmosphere and returned the glory to the old series and put it on the path to success again, especially in the parts that followed it, and it was The recent remake games released for the series in recent years are true unforgettable gems, and the company promised to complete its work on more classic remake games.

Capcom always seems to correct itself and most of the negative situations it faces. If a game fails, it always tries to fix its mistake in the next installment, or end the entire series outright, because its fans are always used to providing the best video game experiences and will not accept anything less.
