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 zombie-fighting Dead Rising series were successful, prompting the developer to take the fourth installment, Dead Rising 4, to the next level, giving players more freedom of movement and exploration and bringing back a hero from Frank West's beloved original novel.

But ultimately, the fourth game couldn't keep up, showing how much time had consumed it. Its mechanics and design began to show their age. This left players feeling completely outdated, as it was somewhat traditional and lacked strong new ideas to set it apart from the rest of the game. As a result, the series stalled completely after this installment failed to reach the required level.

Devil May Cry 2

Let's go back in time, to the PS2 era in particular. After the huge success of the first game in the Devil May Cry action series, fans eagerly awaited the second installment and had high hopes for it. But Capcom failed to deliver at the time. Devil May Cry 2 is merely a shadow of an attempt to imitate the first game, but it severely diminishes its potential by offering players unchallenging gameplay.

Additionally, the game offered combat that was a bit slower than the first installment and had little emotional impact, unlike the first game. 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 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 all the games Capcom has published in recent years, with the dinosaur-based team shooter proving somewhat chaotic and overly fast-paced.

It was also plagued by duplicate content, largely due to its lack of useful ideas. The development team still strives to constantly support it, but no one can deny that it's a game that hasn't achieved its ultimate goal and hasn't reached the level demanded by Capcom fans or even game lovers. Team fire.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite

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

Not to mention, 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-based studio in producing the Picchiaduro fighting game, and Capcom wasted a 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 about 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 didn't skimp on the many exciting content and events, but it strayed from the series' beloved and traditional approach, shifting from a survival horror game to an over-the-top action-packed thriller akin to a Hollywood movie. This upset many Resident Evil fans, some even describing it as similar to Battlefield, particularly in the Chris Rietveld-themed battleground!

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 re-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 seems to always 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 entirely, because its fans are always accustomed to providing the best video game experiences and will accept nothing less.
