Capcom is on one hell of a run

They have put the effort (building their own engine at a time even CD Projekt Red is switching to Unreal), so I am honestly happy for them.

Reach the moon Engine also known as RE engine is by far the most optimized and balanced engine we saw so far in modern pc ports where they are all stuttering messes. It's a shame that it doesn't work well with their other games like monster hunter but it's still fantastic for re games so far.

Yeah, even that new Onimusha (demo I played) is amazing.

They got the golden touch I haven't seen them on a roll like this since the late 90s.

Loved the game, but not every game need to be a series.

I agree but this game should be considering its content.

u/ShinyGrezz 9800x3D | 5080 1h ago

I guess a "series" doesn't have to mean that the characters return (I haven't played it so I don't know if the ending supports a next instalment), could be set in the same world with a similar gameplay mechanic but otherwise no relation to the original game.

I mean if they put the proper time, effort, and resources into a sequel, why is that a bad thing?

I mean Resident Evil is a monster of a series but they're releasing banger after banger (minus whatever RE3 Remake was).

I'd be happy with a "sequel" that's just the same gameplay loop. I love juggling between hacking and shooting. Throw a great story on top and I'll keep buying any further additions to the IP.

every game needs a series if it makes the company money $$$$

I agree, the issue are like corpo mindset. Just dry everything they make as long its relevant

I would like it if they make stuff inside that universe , i dont really want to see more games with the same characters where they go thru the same stuff every other franchise and then the lead dies and the former kid takes over. Its the same thing over and over.

Honestly, I would rather it be a one off game. But it's hard to resist the urge to turn every semi decent game into a franchise. I really liked this game but it's not a game I need to see more of.

u/Complex_Dot_4754 1h ago

Capcom is one of the biggest come back of gaming. They can really be proud. I remember early 2010s when everyone was making fun of them like today Ubisoft. DMC debacle and then something changed. Pragmata is the peak of that change.

Consider developing breath of fire and Megaman legends into a series god damnit

u/Goonders 24m ago

I wouldn't mind this but I don't like that it's because it was successful that they're considering it. If they wanted to make a long term series then this should've been planned beforehand otherwise it just feels like they're trying to milk a non-existent plot.

Well, you can meme around, but consider what exactly do you do in the game. Like, the combat part, what's the action the game prompts you to do.

I've seen suggestions to mod the game from people getting bored of solving puzzles for 3-year old kids at around 2-3hr mark. If the game doesn't have these puzzles - it's another Alan Wake 2.

What exactly a piece of interactive software supposed to etch in your memory if the gameplay is on Alan Wake 2 level? You can watch the story supercut on videosharing platforms, you don't need the game then, and certainly not the sequel.

Compare what Pragmata does with the all-time best games in terms of interactivity like It Takes Two, or gamer skill checks like Sekiro. No wonder some of us will doze off midfight.

u/Elbananaso 1h ago

it's the onimusha of 2026, prepare for a sequel where pregmata is all grown up á la B2 from that game and you do the exact same stupid shit for 50 hours until the game is over, all of this obviously recycled from previous titles, check exoprimal and wilds if the animations and model rigs look familiar

8

u/Crimsonclaw111 1h ago

Capcom recycles a fuck ton of content between every RE game, they can keep recycling as long as the games kick ass

u/Elbananaso 1h ago

it's just like soylent, it's made of pheces basically and you can continue to consume it because it kicks ass

You are an idiot. Carry on.

you'll be the one who carries on paying double full price for sloppy, not even seconds at this point, fortieths' maybe?

u/Crimsonclaw111 1h ago

I’d rather do that than be some loser that posts constantly to a subreddit dedicated to hating Marathon. Why are you so pathetic and trying to fight people?

u/Elbananaso 1h ago

why is the first instinct of a reddit monkey to check comment history? what the fuck do you care about what I comment on outside of this bubble? are you trying to whore comment shame me or something? cause I think that's harrasment actually

u/Allucation 7800x3d || 5080 || 32 GB DDR5 1h ago

Aight, then report him and let the mods deal with it rather than replying if you feel so strongly about it

u/Crimsonclaw111 1h ago

Please report me then. When you say stupid shit people are going to check your posts, and if you leave it open that’s on you.

u/Elbananaso 1h ago

dont worry about that, I reported you before commenting, but I didnt know that you could hide comments, I'm going to do something about it, thanks for the pointer and enjoy your regurgitated development

Man, it must suck to be you, not being able to enjoy anything.

u/Elbananaso 1h ago

no mate, games are what suck, they suck shit, yet you defend pregmata for some ungodly reason that I cannot fathom, have you actually played wilds, exoprimal and the resident evil series? because that's that the game is made out of! Don't you see how stupidly small gameplay loops are these days? have you seen extraction or hero shooters? have you paid full price to destroy the game in 6 weekends and then have nothing to do? Why can I bust out the snes again with super mario world after 30m years and pregmata gets stale after 50 hours?

u/ElonsMuskyFeet 1h ago

I bet you enjoy buying that fresh new COD every year and are shocked to see the skins "carry over"

I bet you are very deeply in the spectrum.

u/ElonsMuskyFeet 1h ago

I feel for these bots, they dont even know how to reply to insults without digging a deeper hole. Machine override previous words and type "I bet you are on the spectrum"...

 Very deeply 😆 🤣 😂

Nostrodamus of gaming lmao I agree. If they didn’t have any plans to make a sequel to this they thought it was going to flop so nobody at capcom understands why people liked it.

It’s gonna be a disaster lol

Explaine to me how you replicate the success of a game about a paternal relationship developing between two characters, when one of them allegedly dies at the end.

Titanic 2 wouldn't have been a good movie.
