And other Capcom classics
So, you’re on an epic losing streak and you’re about to karate chop your expensive Hori arcade stick like a stack of bricks! Well, there’s no need to rage quit Street Fighter 6 entirely – just find something else to do. One of the neat features of its sandbox Battle Hub arena is that you can seek out different...
News Onimusha Finally Returns... As a Netflix Anime
Created by Takashi Miike
Today in cursed monkey paw wishes, Capcom's Onimusha series is coming back — but not as a video game. Netflix has announced a new anime based on the property, and to be fair, it could be cool. Apparently, prolific director Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer, 13 Assassins, and many more) is behind the project,...
News Resident Evil Village's Extraordinary Third-Person Mode Equivalent to Making a New Game
Capcom explains it wasn't easy
Resident Evil Village’s extraordinary new third-person mode looks like an entirely new game – and it turns out it took a comparable amount of effort to create. Speaking with IGN Japan, producer Masachika Kawata revealed that incorporating the oft-requested feature took a lot more work than blending a couple of...
News Winters Is Concluding! Resident Evil Village DLC Will End Ethan, Rose's Story
What's next?
To be fair, not even the most committed Resident Evil fan would put protagonist Ethan Winters on par with the likes of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Perhaps we don’t have quite the same connection with the character because both his adventures, Resident Evil VII: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, have been first-person – and...
News Gawk at Over Two Hours of Street Fighter 6 PS5 Gameplay
Here on the streets
Capcom isn't shy about showing Street Fighter 6 off, and so we've got a massive amount of gameplay footage coming out of Tokyo Game Show and the publisher's own preview events. But one video in particular has caught our eye — and you can find it embedded above. This is over two hours of Street Fighter 6 gameplay, running on...
News Resident Evil Village's Visuals Still Stunning with PSVR2
Very little drop-off from console release
The original PSVR was amazing, but on the rare occasion a tentpole AAA title got ported to it, the visuals took an enormous hit. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is a great example: the experience was transformative in virtual reality, but the Bakers’ family home looked grimy and low-fidelity on the headset. It...
Hands On Shadows of Rose Turns Resident Evil Village into Magic
Return to Castle Dimitrescu
If Resident Evil Village was proof Capcom isn't afraid to change the sort of enemies its survival horror franchise has to offer, then DLC Shadows of Rose is evidence the developer can do the very same for its main character. Ethan Winters' daughter Rose may use the same weapons her father became accustomed to, but she has...

Hands On Street Fighter 6 Makes It Fun for Newcomers
Quick Step to victory
Every game genre comes with some level of complexity, but fighters perhaps struggle the most with their onboarding process. With more complex controls to master and a hardcore community to get up to speed with, it's no surprise many newcomers fall at the first hurdle. Street Fighter 6 attempts to streamline those first few...
News Exoprimal Remains Bonkers in Interdimensional Dino and Mech-Filled Story Trailer
Clever girl
Exoprimal remains one of the most out-there concepts we have heard for a video game in quite some time: You play as an Exofighter, the pilot of a mechanised combat suit, and you must fight through the hordes of prehistoric monsters unleashed by a sinister AI known as Leviathan in order to find a way to destroy it. It looks completely...

News Resident Evil 4 Remake Is Now Coming to PS4 as Well
No longer a current-gen exclusive
The Resident Evil 4 remake was announced as a current-gen only game back in June, but Capcom has confirmed that the title is now in development for PS4 as well, ahead of its 24th March 2023 release date.

News Resident Evil 4 PS5 Remake Skips Capcom's TGS 2022 Showcase
Unless there's a surprise in store
Capcom has detailed what to expect from its TGS 2022 Online Program showcase, and Resident Evil 4 is nowhere to be seen.

Random Have Nightmares About Rajang with This $200 Monster Hunter Pillow
Bodied pillow
Rajang, the often terrifying ape-like beast from Monster Hunter, now exists in official pillow form. Capcom is selling the 90cm by 70cm item through its Japanese merchandise store, and it'll set you back 26,400 yen, which is about $200 or £165, when it releases on the 9th February 2023.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 returns
The time to buy an arcade cabinet is now, as Marvel vs Capcom is back.

Dimitrescu sized subtitles
Accessibility is a big deal, and it’s great to see more publishers take it seriously.

To be clear, even if you don’t buy the...

Capgod
At this point we all know that Capcom is doing especially well for itself — and has been for years.

News Meet Exoprimal's Prehistoric Problem Makers
Do you think they saw us?
How do you make a writer sweat? Throw medical terms or dinosaur names at them!

Thankfully, with an array of...

News You Won't Want to Be on the Receiving End of a Street Fighter 6 Perfect Victory
Rub your face in it
No one likes getting perfected in Street Fighter. For those not up to speed with the lingo, you achieve a perfect when you win a fight without getting hit. It’s supremely satisfying for the initiator, but irritating if you’re on the receiving end. And with Street Fighter 6, it’s about to get a whole lot more annoying...

Poll Was Sony's State of Play the Best Gaming Showcase of June?
The winner of Not-E3
Penning this poll almost feels like throwing a lit match into a room full of flammable gas, but we're going to do it anyway.

Review Capcom Fighting Collection (PS4) - A Superb Compilation of Classics and Oddities
A monster bundle full of little gems
Is it a little unreasonable to say that Capcom loves to dangle a carrot in front of Darkstalkers fans? A trailer promising 'Darkstalkers Are Not Dead' showed up in 2012 featuring a full 3D Lord Raptor, though the subsequent PS3 Darkstalkers Resurrection compilation didn’t live up to that promise at all. Outside...
Mini Review Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
Bayou glow up
Of the three recent Resident Evil PS5 upgrades, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the most interesting. While the original PS4 version had very little in the way of graphical issues, it was the first title to utilise Capcom's RE Engine. The publisher really stepped up its game in later iterations (Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3), and...
Mini Review Resident Evil 3 (PS5) - Disappointing Remake Looks and Runs Much Better
Nemesis Inferno
Ah, Resident Evil 3. A PS5 version isn't going to restore all that cut content, but at least the game looks and runs better on Sony's new system. Just like Resident Evil 2, Capcom hasn't exactly pushed the boat out in terms of enhancing its remake of the underappreciated 1999 title. However, there's little to really complain about:...

Capcom finally confirms
It's happening! Capcom has finally confirmed, after years of rumours and leaks and speculation, that Dragon's Dogma 2 is in development. And...well, that's it.
