Capcom is really more of a console company. Besides, this game won't be supporting custom content anyway. That's something you might consider a big strike against it. I know I modded the heck out of my Elderscrolls games, so it's something to consider.
On an unrelated note, Steam's "Workshop" is one of the best ideas ever, yet so simple. Basically, it's a store front for custom made fan content. I say "store" but all of it is free unless the game's maker buys the rights and makes it official. There's all sorts of stuff in there. There are a few rules mind you since they're hosting it, but the best part is that it all gets vetted by other players. If ever there was any sort of point to "voting" on stuff (which too many sites use just to use it it seems), it was this. It's similar to voting on quality for apps, but more importantly, the high ranked stuff shows up at the top of the list by default.
If Microsoft would implement something like this into XBox Live,and if companies like Bethesda and Capcom supported it in their XBox versions, the custom content problem would basically be solved (with the obvious outliers going against the host's terms of use). Steam uses a simple check for custom content before turning on achievement tracking, and MS could do the same to prevent "cheating", but really if achievements are holding back something like a custom content store front, then that basically means achievement tracking needs to go, not custom content.
Sorry you didn't like that internet reviewer guy. I dunno... some people like him.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
