F*** you, Capcom!

Hopefully this isn't entirely accurate. If it is people should show their displeasure by not purchasing the title. Hell any kind of noise from ticked off gamers about this would be great. This sort of thing can't catch on.

This whole fighting against used sales really shows the most ugly, greedy side of this entire business, imo.

What if they tried to do the same with books, or music albums...? I love to browse through used books in markets!
I guess some publishers would if they could. Still, it's a sad sight.

I think it's more then that Beamboom. The global economy will continue to influence the decision making process for this industry.

According to the NPD, May was the worst month in 5 years. Publishers and developers have little choice but to pursue another avenue here, and that street is named "Used Games Drive".

@HighLander: Yeah I know, but somehow I just don't think it will happen. Maybe I have too much faith in that business, we shall see. They are however concerned about piracy, as they should be. And I wish them the best of luck with that.

@Maxpontiac: It's not like I feel sorry for them Max, really.
They are part of an up-and-coming business segment that's conquered half the entire friggin' entertainment business during no more than the last couple of decades.

They are "not poor, starving artists".
They don't have to worry much about what tomorrow will bring, other than to keep competing to create the best products.

I think this is a horrible way to do things. This possibly means you can only pay through a game once, and that there no used value. I know we have discussed this issue here before, and I know that many publishers see used game sales as threatening (or more) as game piracy. However this is absolutely not the way to go about it. This actually reduces the value of the game to the purchaser. You are paying literally for a single play. Talk about a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. If a publisher is going to make purchasers of the game play it as if it were a one time rental, then they have no right to charge more than the cost of a game rental, pure and simple. If this is truly as it's been reported, Capcom needs to know that this is BS.

The online pass I can actually see the point of because when a used game buyer buys the game they have no customer relationship with the publisher, and if they want to use the publisher's online resources, they need to establish that relationship and pay for that additional service. I can see the logic and sense behind that - as long as it's truly about additional online service/content and not just enabling content on the disc. But this practice that Capcom appears to be going after is very different and really quite anti-gamer.

Not that I want to start a rumor, but I want Sony to be very clear that Vita games will not do this, since they come on cards with a local re-writeable area for saves.

I really don't think that you can only play through the game once, I mean, every review I read has a replayability score on it, so this gets a zero? The fact that you can't delete the saved data is not the same as saying that you can't start over. If this was a PS3/360 game what I think it would mean is that you can only get trophies/achievements once or something like that, maybe that's the case with this game as well.

From what I understand, you can continue playing once you finish the campaign, but you can't go back to the beginning and start from scratch.

Here's a quote from TinyCartridge;

"There’s speculation that Capcom deliberately made it impossible for users to delete their save data to discourage used game sales — since those who buy Mercenaries 3D used can’t wipe the save and start over from the beginning, some Japanese shops will only pay very low prices (as low as $6!) for pre-played copies."

That seems to confirm that you can't start over.

Not sure it's so much the economy as it is Capcom's greed. They have been looking for new and interesting ways to stick it to gamers since this generation began. Funny thing is, in all their attempts to make more money, they just seem to be digging themselves deeper in a whole. They should just sell their best franchises to Nintendo or Sony and close up shop. At least then, MegaMan, Street Fighter and Resident Evil might have a fighting chance. Can you imagine a Resident Evil title done by Sony Santa Monica with the God of War 3 engine? Droooool.....

Without a doubt Jawknee, making money drives all businesses.

But my point is, that sales outside of a few mega hitters are lacking, and since we don't know the extent of sales with the used games section, my guess is it's high enough to warrant that publishers and developers dip into it.

If new game sales as a whole continue to decline, it should only be obvious that more and more companies will follow suit.

I have mentioned this before, but Xbox Live was only the beginning of charging people to play. It was online passes, and now it seems locked saves might be another domino.

I hope this isn't true, and is just a rumor, because they're publishing some pretty promising looking games next year that I'm stoked about.

Seriously Capcom, WTF????

I play through games more then once as I'm everyone else does too... I think, and if they do this then as much as I want to play DmC, if I only can play through it once, then there is no point in buying @ full price especially if I can just rent them.

Asura's Wrath, (looks like it's just over the top action, although it might get Repetitive), Dragon's Dogma looks even more promising and fun, that Resident Evil looks like it will be somewhat fun to play with a friend. They might not seem that way to you, but they look like possibly good games to me and if they're not then it's whatever, there are other games out there for us to enjoy.

Yea, I'm not interested in those titles in the least bit. Not really into hack n' slash titles other than God of War and don't really care for Dungeons and Dragonsesque anything, hence why Dragons Dogma looks blahg to me. Also this Mercenaries titles seems like a huge rip off. Why pay $40 for a game that's nothing more than an add-on feature from previous titles?

Seems to me the game itself is the real ripoff...the locked save data is just an added "screw you" by Crapcom.

This has to be a misunderstanding. You need to be able to reset your game. What if you want to play it again, or if you take a long break from it and want to start over. If this is true I wonder how all the businesses that rent video games are going to like it.

This all sounds pretty shady, I like replaying my favourite games from scratch.

Now the game has no replay value which takes away from the gameplay experience even if it is purchased new. Why would you want to punish the people who are buying/preordering the games new? You want to reward them simpletons!

The games overall score is going to shoot way down and is not worth purchasing.

You know, that's the sad truth of it. Someone somewhere will figure out a way to hex edit the data on the game, release a soft copy with the ability to erase saves, and people with a modded 3DS will be able to download it, put it on their DS, and not worry one whit about this lock out. All the while honest gamers and people that don't want to or cannot figure out how to mod their systems are left holding a game they can only play once.

Capcom told GiantBomb the following;

"In Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, all mission progress is saved directly to the Nintendo 3DS cartridge, where it cannot be reset...The nature of the game invites high levels of replayability in order to improve mission scores. In addition, this feature does not remove any content available for users."

They (Capcom) also say; "Secondhand game sales were not a factor in this development decision, so we hope that all our consumers will be able to enjoy the entirety of the survival-action experiences that the game does offer."

I think that they actually screwed up. It's a survival action game, and by not allowing the save to reset, you can't go backwards in your playthrough, only forwards, The no reset feature forces the player to play through the game - in true survival action fashion. Once you complete an element you can go back and replay it, but you can't replay the whole game from the beginning. I think it was meant to be a 'cute' feature that increased the tension of the game. I just don't think that they thought through the impact of the no-reset thing.

There is no way we are reading this correctly. There is ZERO CHANCE that you can only play through a $60 game once.

What this means IMHO is that if you play the game let's say half way through. You stop playing the game because a new more interesting game is coming out. So you theoretically sell Capcom's game to Gamestop to get the new game. You beat the new game and decided you want to play through the game you sold earlier. You cannot go and buy a used game because it won't match the saved game ID/tag on your PS3. You are screwed and have to buy the game again. You more than likely have to enter a code into your redeem codes portion of your PS3 that will reset the save game data making it possible to play the game that you have now bought TWICE!!!

What I am trying to say is that you CANNOT SELL THE GAME! This is ridiculous! This will EPIC FAIL. I have played many games and sold them and then bought them again USED because I missed them. Capcom is going to really take a hit to its reputation with this one. If I am correct that is.

Well, good thing critics look at replay value and or longevity when grading a game. If Capcom tried this type of stunt with a core gaming community the ratings would suffer abysmally. Thus suffering lesser sales and effectively playing out the proverbial adage "backing up from a snake just to fall in a hole."
Or however that's said.

I hate all this stuff that companies have been trying. Recently I bought my first games off of ebay just so they would be so much cheaper so that I didn't have to pay extra for day 1 DLC. I like DLC when its a month or later but its stupid to pay extra for something that should be included. That's why I don't feel bad about buying used games either. If its a choice between buying a game nearly full price six months later or used at a third Ill gladly pay extra for the online. And they could also encourage me to buy more games by including splitscreen. Honestly I think there are plenty of alternative options to convince people to buy new games. Capcom though always seems to be trying to weasel additional money out of me in every game of theirs I've played and so I'm not buying anymore. Thats not a reputation you want to have.

I hate all this stuff that companies have been trying. Recently I bought my first games off of ebay just so they would be so much cheaper so that I didn't have to pay extra for day 1 DLC. I like DLC when its a month or later but its stupid to pay extra for something that should be included. That's why I don't feel bad about buying used games either. If its a choice between buying a game nearly full price six months later or used at a third Ill gladly pay extra for the online. And they could also encourage me to buy more games by including splitscreen. Honestly I think there are plenty of alternative options to convince people to buy new games.

Very, very wrong move IF this is actually what Capcom intends to do. Just think if all games were like this? What a horrific tale that would be.

If it's a one time play model then this should be no more expensive than it would cost to rent a game from Blockbuster and have a lone play through.

Get that rrp price dropped to $5.
