Capcom is one of the last major publishers with its own dedicated event this June. It's been on a fantastic run of form for years now, and today was another opportunity for the company to show it's still going strong. We saw a handful of exciting titles from the publisher during Capcom Showcase 2023, including Dragon's Dogma 2, Exoprimal, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, and more — but was this a worthy broadcast, or a bit of a letdown?
Whether you think this was a winner or a stinker, we want to hear your thoughts. Have you been left excited for what Capcom has to offer in future, or did nothing catch your eye during the show? Make your voices heard by voting in our poll, then take to the comments section below to elaborate.

What the **** was that
Not even worth a grade, just a waste of time
I didn’t expect any new announcements from Capcom on this showcase, so it was a great way to see more about games that aren’t too far off! Ghost Trick looked awesome, really looking forward to Exoprimal, anything about Dragons Dogma 2 is a win for sure and although sad news about Pragmata, it’s good to at least know that the game is still on the way. All in all, I honestly enjoyed the showcase!
Not good. Apollo Justice and Ghost Trick were highlights and I played both of them like 10 years ago.
I didn't think I'd see the day Ubisoft would do a better showcase than Capgod.
Was kinda expecting one surprise, but nothing.
Should not have stayed up for this😂.
They are killing it with most of their games but don't really know when or how to do a showcase yet.
They probably need to stop giving there best stuff to Sony to show off.
Dragon Dogma 2 going to be Incredible..I would have liked to see different footage instead of the one we already seen..Disappointed in no release date though..
Meh. I'd say that was an unnecessary showcase. But no harm, no foul for Capcom.
I knew from their previous shows not to expect much and yet I still came away happy. The second Ace Attorney trilogy! I was planning on playing them on my 3DS but I think I'll finish the rest of the series on PS5 now
Sucks that pragmata was delayed but the little snippet of gameplay we saw was interesting. I'm more than fine with letting them take their time. Dragons Dogma looks great as ever. Can't wait
Really surprised we didn't see anything on Resident Evil, besides the VR mode.
I was very interested in the 40th capcom museum thing, then when it was browser based I thought, nope, so that was that.
Exoprimal, to me, dirge.
Ok, there loads of people out there that will love it.
But not for me. And they are putting a ***** ton of marketing and time on it.
Pragmata. Good to see it isn't vapour and it's delayed. Better than silence.
And, erm, that's it. Dragons dogma, not even a year given, so I'm guessing mid 2024 at earliest.
Edit: ok, just had a look at the capcom town thing. Meh, each little hub just takes you to another capcom site.
I would have much preferred an actual app/game on the ps5, my interest was purely all the old archival stuff.
Nev mind.
A CapDud unfortunately. It was all stuff that we knew about really, no major new announcement and pragmata was just an apology.
That said i will give that ghost trick demo a whirl
This was the worse one I have seen so far this year. Completely underwhelming.
Mostly filler stuff but the timeline wasn't really right for them to reveal a lot of stuff.
Re4 came out two months ago
SF6 just released
Monster Hunter Rise is getting a final update so too soon for a new title.
So Exoprimal and Dragons Dogma 2 is about what I expected.
The only speck of good to come out of this was Capcom giving some kind of update on Pragmata.
Also seeing Dragons Dogma 2 has me pumped so I'm now downloading Dark Arisen. Can't wait to start this again tomorrow and finally do the Arisen content that I never got round to doing on the PS3.
Ace Attorney trilogy was a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting any new announcements. They have been doing a great job with their games so I don't mind that the showcase was a little dry.
Glad I skipped this. The entire industry has been a letdown this year.
Well, there's 40 or so minutes of my life I'll never get back. Was nice to hear a little more on Dragon's Dogma II, though it isn't coming anytime soon.
I didn’t see any actual new footage of the games that were already announced in previous showcases. The Dragon Dogma section was repeated scenes. They need to change the way they do these things
I got neither of the two PSVR2 RE updates I was hoping for, a date for the RE4 VR mode and a reveal of an equivalent mode for RE7. Well, I have hopes for Pragmata and Dragon Dogma 2 looks cool.
Even though the rest of the showcase was rather disappointing I had to rank it as good overall because of the 2nd Ace Attorney trilogy and the Ghost Trick demo shadow drop.
Overall, I give it a “good”. Definitively not as good as Xbox’s or UBisoft showcases, but I’m glad I saw it. It also was relatively short.
Big waste of time, Pragmata is the new Deep Down, I dont expect to ever play it.
@KaijuKaiser One thing to be announced that interested me.
Dragons Dogma 2 and Pragmata will make Capcom best publisher in 2024.
Twice in a row guys.
Oh the showcase? Dog doodoo
Definitely a bit disappointing. But Capcom has been amazing lately, so I think we can give them a free pass on this one.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is happening. Nothing else matters.
I mentally checked out after Ace Attorney. 10 out of f***ing 10.
Waste of time. I knew it was going to be all padding once they spent like 5 minutes explaining what Ghost Trick was. The game is 13 years old. We get it.
Total nothingburger.
@WhensDinner I’m still in disbelief that they did a “let’s recap on all this exoprimal news” and then proceeded to repeat what we just been told. They really were padding it out 😂
@Ken_Kaniff is that what that was?
@Cordyceps It was better than them ghosting us like they did with deep down.
The overall quality of what was shown can't be denied. It just wasn't anything new and exciting, but that'll come eventually once there's something to show.
I was really hoping for a Onimusha revival, since netflix has an anime in the pipeline directed by none other than Takashi Miike, but instead we get this overly bubblegum style "feudal japan" game.
Only the AJ Trilogy was the highlight for me, and MMX DiVE Offline version was a nice surprise.
Rest was nothing special.
@Tharsman @Judal27 @Bionic-Spencer I also had a good time watching! Looking forward to playing all 6 games eventually.
Though none of them will be day one purchases/pre-orders for various reasons.
