Quick! Tie it down with costume packs and go-nowhere DLC before it gets away!
It looks like there may be a franchise in store for Capcom’s newest Action RPG Dragon’s Dogma as the worldwide shipments of the game released a month ago have passed the 1 million mark, not to say that there have been 1 million units actually sold, but bought by retailers. While still an impressive landmark for a new intellectual property reached in a little over a month since launch, Capcom has also gone on record to state that the game’s first week had set a new record for sales volume of a new brand in the last decade.
While that is also an interesting statistic, it also shows at how badly some other Capcom new IP’s titles fared in their first week (Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, Asura’s Wrath and Dead Rising to name a few). Capcom has also vaguely stated that the success of Dragon’s Dogma has warranted the development to turn the new IP into a full blown Capcom Franchise, but as to how they will spin sequels, prequels, DLC, spinoffs or otherwise is still not yet known.

I hate this game…yet part of me loves it. It’s like that old Joan Jett song: “I hate Myself For Loving You”
Great game, but knowing Ca$hcom, the sequel will be under-cooked DLC Heaven…
Okay people, let’s try to get Xenoblade Chronicles and Lollipop Chainsaw to pass the million marker as well. (I want to see franchises out of those series)
Only thing that ever held me back from getting Xenoblade is money. I could never afford it.
Getting Xenoblade as soon as I get the money for it!
Crap! well,looks like another promising series that Capcom will be shortly screwing customers over with DLC rip offs and then running the franchise into the ground *sigh*
Glad to see a new franchise do decently (even if it does benefit Capcom, grumble, grumble). However, thanks for reminding me that Ghost Trick didn’t do well; now I have to once again sit with the large possibility that no new games from Shu Takumi (Ace Attorney director) will be released in the states; I’ll just be weeping in a corner now.
I was actually looking in Capcom’s list of games on Wikipedia on the current gen + previous gen to see some titles that stick out, and I tumbled onto the fact that Ace Attorney Investigations 2 has already been out a year now without port to the west and that its STILL only an “idea on the table”.
DON’T THEY UNDERSTAND MY NEED FOR COMEDIC COURT DRAMA?!?!
Good to hear. While the storytelling in Dragon’s Dogma was crap, the combat was very impressive, especially the fight with the Dragon and the (real) fights with the Hydra. I’d like to see more of it, especially if they hire writers worth a damn, but honestly even if they don’t. There’s real potential with the gameplay, which I think has some obvious ways to improve it even with it already being so good.
So they will fix fast travel in the sequel only right
I heard of Ghost Trick by word of mouth (mainly by following the AA fansite Court Records) and I didn’t hear about Asura’s Wrath until it was nearly released. I wonder why their week 1 sales were low…
Then again, I didn’t hear much about Dragon’s Dogma before its release other than the fact that it had a B’z song in it. Maybe that attracted people’s attention, especially in Japan?
