Capcom have carried the last three E3s on their back

Honestly between the four, it's a toss-up between RE7 and MHW for me. On some days I'll lean towards MHW and on others it'll be RE7.
The RE7 reveal was absolutely nuts though, like god damn.
I mentioned it in another thread but I'm really curious what they have up their sleeves for this E3 given how they've been the last couple years. I'd be surprised if their biggest drop this year was Iceborne.
Can't disagree about last E3, at least. DMC5 reveal was somewhat expected but not during the MS conference and still way more hype than I thought it'd be. I must've watched that trailer 50 times, not since the E3s of the PS2/Gamecube days had I done that.
MHWorld ended up being great but at the time I was really worried about it since the old 'leak' implied they'd be throwing out the old combat system in favor of mashy garbage. And the reveal trailer showed almost no actual combat, just new traversal and environmental stuff. On top of that, MHXX for Switch was nowhere to be seen. I ended up delaying my plans to get a Switch until the end of the year because of that. Thankfully everything worked out but I hope they improve their messaging for future MH announcements.

Same! RE7 was my favorite of the recent Capcom games. But the initial similarly with P.T. put me off (and that RE7 demo was terrible for my tastes)
They are all great reveals and even better than that, great games too. But ''carried E3 on their back'' is a stretch IMO. Just search for the reveal trailers for the games you mentioned and other big stuff from E3 like Halo: Infinite and DOOM Eternal, and compare to the views of these Capcom games. You'll notice how there's way more interest and hype all around in those other games
I'll give you this though, they do know how to please their hardcore fanbase with reveals better than any other publisher right now

I'm still guessing RE3 Remake and MVC4 this E3. Loved the double team of RE2 and DMC5 last year.
That Resident Evil 2 announcement was nothing short of a religious experience and single-handedly saved Sony's conference
Definitely, OP. Besides Smash, DMC5 was my game of E3 2018 (& thankfully, the final game delivered).
I doubt that we'll see any new Capcom fighter until after the next-gen systems drop. There's no point in releasing a fighting game that Capcom will support for years near the end of the PS4 & XB1's lives.
Never been into DMC or Resident Evil so I can't say I agree, really. Much of what makes Capcom, Capcom to me, is the sheer variety they would put out. I was more into their smaller IPs and experimental titles, which are largely gone. And their current strategy is large AAA scale projects and re-releases of back catalog games.
Unless something changed at Capcom, I'd say no. They were planning to make a true sequel with Kamiya onboard but then Capcom got cold feet when the CEO of Platinum announced their departure.
Yeah I seen some videos on YouTube about that buuuuut weren't there tweets with Kamiya hanging out with Capcom people recently? Couldn't that mean that it was back on?
I love what they are doing, but the Capcom i knew use to do a ton of original and crazy over the top new franchises. I miss how experimental they were with their games. Its crazy that with the new and ever increasing game budget, that developers are a bit scared to try a new franchise.
For sure, but Itsuno's team just finished with DMCV, right?
I want it as bad as anyone possibly could, but we might be waiting another year or two.
See you in 55 days
God I would shit myself inside out if this happened.
Whatever they announce this year I'm 100% on the Capcom hype train.
Close to the end of the gen or not, I feel like a new fighting game announcement is inevitable.
So a new fighting game and Onimusha. Watch.

I can't imagine anything that could even come close to topping the surprise of the Resident Evil 7 announcement. It builds and builds to the very last moment and if you didn't know about Kitchen beforehand, you'd never even know it was a Capcom game.
The only thing pushing it over the edge for me was MonHunWorld had some leaks and lead up expectation(and still wrecked peoples shit at reveal)
But with Re7, there was like nothing, and the entire trailer was a "huh???" Right up until the 7 appeared.
Theyve all got such great reveals though
RE7 was the best out of left field holy shit moment. The thing about RE2 was that yes I lost my shit at the trailer, but it was a reveal I was expecting and just waiting for.
I remember the RE7 reveal so well. Oh a first person horror game for VR this should be pretty cool I like the look of this RESIDENT EVIL WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?!

DMC 5 was video game love reawakening for me. But yeah Capcom for me are in the Fromsoftware camp for me in which I will be happy if they do whatever they want.

Technically nobody single handedly carries E3. But "Not even close" is a bit extreme , what other devs would you say carried E3 then ?
Same. I feel like the CPT would be a lot cooler if it had more than just SFV headlining things.
Besides, I just want a new fighting game. Even if it's just teased.
RE7 was special because it came out of nowhere. Attending the E3 Experience was worth it just for that moment. The excitement in the theater was intoxicating.
