Capcom ending content support for Exoprimal

[GachaMadeMeBroke]

Thank you for playing Exoprimal.

With the release of Title Update 4, all planned Exoprimal seasonal content has been finished.

Announcement

Exoprimal launched on the 14 of July 2023 on PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox but also launched day and date on Gamepass. As a reminder they also posted that 1 million players played the game:



Player numbers where most of the numbers come from a subscription service aren't really all that indicative of a game's success it seems.

Capcom knew it was doa thats why they threw it in GamePass, same with Square and Foamstars. But at least Foamstars was somewhat fun, idk how Exoprimal got past the preproduction stage.

I have a fanboy theory that this game was just a test bed for animations/gameplay elements for a Dino Crisis remake. Let the man dream.

 

[John Elden Ring]

Would have been more profitable to remake Dino Crisis

I feel bad for the people who bought this, it was full priced too.

I like how when ppl talk about capcom. Is the goat and other ppl should learn from capcom they don't want to talk about exoprimal.

Made for Game Pass kind of game tbh

I still find it funny how Xbots used that 1 million playercount to try and say that the game was a success despite the game not charting high on PSN or Steam. Plus, in Japan it only sold around 3k copies on PS5, PS4 didn't make top 30.

I'm a huge fan of Capcom, but nobody wants to acknowledge Exoprimal or the abysmal RE:Verse lol

I will never understand the arrogance of game developers/designers into thinking THEIR run of the mill shooter is special and will bring something to the table.

That money should have been spent in a single player game. Capcom always has these massive flops when they work on multiplayer games no one asked.

So fast lol

Everybody wanted Dino Crisis and they gave us this crap.

What a waste.

What do companies have against single player games?

This game was AWESOME

wish more people gave it as try, most unique pvp game ever, and the 8 player raids were sick! worth the full price. clearing out 2 thousand dinos in 2 minutes was insane lol

Edit: clearly none of you gave this game a fair chance, imagine writing every game off because it's multiplayer... couldn't be me. I'd eat up a capcom pvp game any day, Lost Planet is one of the best multiplayer games oat and i want them to do more multiplayer.

this game is far from run of the mill... it was very unique, a pvp game that had story progression that unlocked new missions/boss fights/raids as you go

 

[quest4441]

If they actually wanted some sales and wanted people to buy it then they wouldn't have taken the gamepass deal, I refuse to buy games that go on gamepass day 1 and most people in my friend circle are the same. Kunitsu gami is the same - another flop incoming lol

They could of made a SP Dino Crisis remake (Doesnt need as much work as a new sequel) and they could of added in a MP mode down the road if they really had to lol

Your postis the first positive thing Ive read about it.
Your right about writing it off, but I didnt write it off because its a MP game, but because of the bad reviews, which i guess also isnt a good enough reason. Theres plenty of games Ive enjoyed that were reviewed bad/average.
If there was a demo Id try it out based on your praise.

Capcom's new IPs seem to be trying "too hard" to come up with a "unique and interesting" gameplay loop/twists.
Exoprimal wasn't a straight PvP game, nor was it really a totally PvE horde game.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess(their upcoming game this month) is also a tower defense hybrid game mashup.
The game is pure 2000s Capcom but most people I talk to were like "I don't understand anything."


Somebody gotta tell some of these creatives at Capcom that it okay to keep it simple.
Folks are checking out before even fully understanding what those two games are about and that's a problem.

This is just like the elevator pitch when talking to execs.
You gotta convince potential players that your game is cool and that they might dig it in under a minute.
If they don't even understand what your game is about in that amount of time, you're already failing at attracting casuals.

Capcom has been doing mega revenue with their key franchise pillars but it seems that they new IPs(since they haven't done one since like 2011 or 2012 IIRC) is something they're seemingly having issues with currently.

Reminder that Pragmata has been indefinitely delayed as well.

Im fine with that but people/reviewers will say there isnt anything new like they did with Rise of Ronin, “it brings nothing new to open world games”

Exactly. This was a very unique, fun multiplayer game with a very great progression system that encouraged you try new things. I loved it and ended up beating it twice.

No matter what people say this game was a great idea and wonderfully made. I guarantee everyone in this thread criticizing it haven't even played it, they saw gaas multiplayer gamepass and decided to trash it.

Also tired of forums pretending anyone ever gave a fuck about Dino Crisis. People beg for NEW IP but want the dinosaur knockoff of resident evil instead?

I will not buy any game that's day 1 on GamePass. Even if I really want to play it, I'll get it second hand.
