End of year company

For this blog post I have researched in to “Capcom” for one of the companies I would want to invite to the end of year show.

Capcom – The reason I chose Capcom was for its well-known gory/fighting games, such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Devil May Cry. For each of these three games the environment scenes are all very different.

• ·         Street Fighter – Side scrolling fighting game. For their latest Street Fighter (Street Fighter 4) Capcom kept the arcade feel but made the environment 3D. This was a new challenge for them and the result was very good, keeping the 2D side scrolling feel, with cartoony textures in a 3D environment.

• ·         Devil May Cry – Devil my cry is a hack and slash game where you run round large environments defeating enemies. Unlike Street fighter, these environments are realistic base, showing good use of lighting, camera angles and texture maps.

• ·         Resident Evil – This is most probable Capcom’s biggest title. Well known as a video game and also as a movie, Resident Evil environments set the mood for the game its self. Resident Evils environments look very old and destroyed to give a better fell of “chaos”.

Overall I think that Capcom would be a great company to invite to the end of the year show. This being because they have a good understanding of different art styles, being it cartoony or realistic.
