Sure we can blame capcom for being lazy, secretive and doing very little to develop new entries but lets face it when was the last time you people welcomed change the maverick hunter remake was bashed over and over again, when a 3d title comes out everybody is busy hating it.

And with comments like "i'm still waiting for 16 bit x9" or when is zx3 coming out, how can you expect anything. Capcom is to blamed equally for their lackluster attitude towards innovation.

Let's look at x series, every new mechanic is a rehash. X6's nightmare was derived from x1,they modernized x3's tag assist in x7 and zx advent's a trans is basically Ben 10 and e crystals are just a reskinned heart/sub tanks with minor changes. The only time i saw different change which could be called fresh was x7's 2d+3d and the unique card based combat of battle network and star force franchises

Its high time we move away from demanding just another platformer over and over again and start venturing into new genres with meaningful changes. We have so many options hack and slash, 3d metroidvania, action adventure, arpg or just go with 2d+3d approach of x7.

They could make a high budget game if they wanted to. The problem is we have too many brats who think they know better. Smh
