Capcom Production Studio 3 at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile looking for information on Capcom Production Studio 3, you will find a Japanese developer that operated from 2001 to 2016. Founded in 1999 as part of Capcom's internal restructuring, this studio worked under senior producer Tatsuya Minami. They produced eleven games during their active years and never released titles solely as a publisher. Their catalog spans multiple genres, with shooter games being the most frequent at six releases, followed by adventure and platform titles. They also touched on puzzle, sport, role-playing, arcade, hack and slash, and fighting games. Their work reached a wide range of hardware, though they focused heavily on the PlayStation 2 with six titles. The team also developed for PC, Nintendo GameCube, and various other consoles including the Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Despite this broad reach, their output dropped significantly over time. Ten games appeared in the 2000s, while only one title emerged in the 2010s. The studio had a close relationship with Capcom Production Studio 4, which resulted in several entries for the Resident Evil series, including Resident Evil Survivor and Resident Evil Dead Aim. They also handled ports of existing games to the GameCube. Quality varies across their library. The average rating sits at 64.1 out of 100 based on ten rated titles. There are no great-rated games above 80 in their history. Seven titles fall into the good range, while three are rated as mixed. Mega Man X: Command Mission holds the highest score at 79.6, released in 2004. Resident Evil Zero also performed well with a 74.4 rating, and Gregory Horror Show scored 72. Not all releases were successful. Mega Man X7 received a poor score of 40, which is the lowest in their catalog. A re-release of Resident Evil 0 appeared in 2016 with a score of 72, but this was the only entry from their final decade. The data shows a studio that had strong moments in the early to mid-2000s before fading into silence by 2016.
