Capcom's president and chief operating officer has said he thinks game prices should go up.

Haruhiro Tsujimoto made the comments at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Nikkei reported. TGS is sponsored by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association, a Japanese organisation which aims to support the Japanese industry, which Tsujimoto is currently the chairman of.

"Personally, I feel that game prices are too low," Tsujimoto said, citing increasing development costs and a need to increase wages.

Not surprising for the man who thinks an iPhone port of an 18 year old GameCube game should cost $60.

Are you talking about RE4? Because they were actually talking about an Apple port (iPhone, iPad and Mac, with people being able to play on all platforms with one purchase) of the recent remake, which is a 2023 game that only really borrows the story and some layouts from the 2005 game.

And even then it only borrows the bullet points of the story. I prefer the approach they took with this game compared to say FF7's where the story definitely feels like it's improved if you are more familiar with the original.

Are you referring to FF7 remake's? Because you definitely get more out of it if you've played the previous games and watched the movie since it's quite literally a sequel to them. I really enjoy their approach to it.

I'm not saying RE4's isn't the case either. I just don't think it's a one or the other kind of scenario and they're a little different as to why as well.

I mean... if it looks and plays like a touchscreen- and battery-limited version of the $60 PS5 / Xbox Whatever game... fine?

Of course if he also expects one cent of optional or recurring fees on top of that, he can get fucked.
