In an interesting twist, Capcom’s shareholders have voted to end their takeover defense. Set up in 2008, the takeover defense was a series of strategies designed to prevent outside companies from buying up a majority of Capcom’s stock, but shareholders voted against renewing it at their latest investor’s meeting, which opens the company up for potential buyers.
This by no means signifies an end to Capcom as a third party developer – an outside company would still have to pay a hefty sum to acquire over 50% of Capcom’s stock – but it’s now a distinct possibility. Capcom is no longer the lucrative giant it once was, but any potential buyers would gain exclusive rights to important franchises like Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Mega Man, and many more. What company, if any, will make them an offer they can’t refuse?
Kojima did it once, he can do it again. Hence, why Konami must acquire the rights to RE. In Liquid-Wesker, I believe.
Didnt nanomachine wesker already happen? The Wesker battle was pretty much a carbon copy of the Vamp fight in MGS4
you're goddamn right.
Although to be honest I preferred the Wesker battle of Vamp, and pretty much over 90% of the Boss battles in MGS4... -_-
In regards to Wesker, I've never wanted the bad guy to win before I was introduced to him. At this point, he needs to return and cleanse the franchise by killing off all the main characters.
