Not gonna happen. Platinum does not have nearly enough capital to gain a controlling interest, let alone a buyout.Personally hoping platinum buys them.

You might be overreacting to this news. This isn't a THQ situation here. Capcom is still making money, in fact their stock price has risen around 13% over the past year. They're still a healthy company. This failed vote only opens the company up to a hostile takeover, it doesn't mean they're actually shopping it or their IPs.It they start selling just their ip's then i hope platinum takes the devil may cry franchise. Since the originator works for them now. And see the other ip's go out to some really great gaming companies

Could you imagine Visceral at EA doing Resident Evil? Or maybe Ubisoft throwing down Devil May Cry? I wouldn't be opposed to seeing some other views and takes on these franchises.Never going to happen. If anyone were to buy them, you can look at companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, or someone big time with enough money to make it happen.
Im still sticking with my idea of Nintendo buying a controlling interest and releasing Mega Man games again.
haha. But realistically we're talking Zenimax or Activision.Please go away....
Well so far Nintendo has shown much more respect to Mega Man over the past few years than Capcom has, so I really wouldn't mind that. Did you see the Smash Bros tournament and the crowd reaction to his final smash? As a long-time fan, I have to say that I get a big stupid smile on my face every time I see it.Please go away....

I raise your Visceral one SCEJ (they have Toyama, creator of Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush).Could you imagine Visceral at EA doing Resident Evil? Or maybe Ubisoft throwing down Devil May Cry? I wouldn't be opposed to seeing some other views and takes on these franchises.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ubisoft Montreal do Devil May Cry or Onimusha. That could get interesting.
It would be interesting if Platinum Games nabbed Mega Man, too. A Mega Man Legends game in the vein of Metal Gear Rising could be exciting!
Even though I did indeed like the first Devil May Cry, I always felt that the Onimusha far better accomplished what the first DMC was trying to do. The team that made Devil May Cry into what I love (basically the guys who made DMC3 and DMC4) are still working with Capcom.I would rather see platinum take on devil may cry since that's where everyone responsible for it went to work, half of those guys worked on rising. I would love to see another viewtiful joe as well.
Metal gear rising reminded me of devil may cry ALOT

If Capcom was indeed to go under at some point, I'd hope that Itsuno finds his way to Platinum. If Shinji Mikami could find his way back there as well then I'd be a very happy man.
