For as long as fighting games have been a thing, they've had the versus screen. A brief moment showing each combatant before the battle commences, these flashy interludes serve to get players amped up for a fight.

News Capcom Showcase Announced for 13th June
Capgod?
Surprise! Capcom's doing its own showcase on the 13th June — that's next Monday.

If you've yet to see it, we'd highly recommend you check out Street Fighter 6's fantastic new trailer.

News Street Fighter 6 PS5, PS4 Introduces More Accessible Controls for Newcomers
Modern control scheme tones down the learning curve

News Resident Evil Village Will Take Full Advantage of PSVR2 Sense Controllers
Pricing to be announced in due course
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was transformative with PSVR, but it was restricted in some ways. Perhaps hamstrung by the aging PS Move controllers, it was played entirely with the DualShock 4 controller. This was, of course, an adequate experience – but it lacked the tactile feel that we’ve come to expect from...

Rumour Looks Like PS1 Classic Dino Crisis Is Joining the PS Plus Premium Lineup
A wild Regina appears
The brand new PS Plus tiers have now launched in some Asian countries, and it's on the cusp of a Western release too.

Sony has stayed surprisingly quiet thus far, and so subscribers...
News Dragon's Dogma 10th Anniversary Website Opens, Asks Fans to Join in 'Momentous Celebration'
Capcom, please
Don't do this to us, Capcom. Don't go making a website specifically to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Dragon's Dogma and then act like we haven't spent the last decade asking for a sequel. Don't do it! The website's real, though, and it bears a rather intriguing message. It reads: "Dragon's Dogma, first released in 2012, is...

Anniversary, Arisen!
Ten years ago today (that's the 22nd May, in case you're reading this in the future), Capcom released Dragon's Dogma on PS3. It was a dark fantasy action RPG that perhaps wouldn't get the praise that it deserved until years later, by which time it had established itself as something of a cult classic. Indeed, its original...

It appears the publisher won't be leaving its last-gen games behind, as they're all making the leap to PS5 with native versions. To...
News Street Fighter 6's Logo Is Basically An Adobe Stock Graphic
Oh no
If we’re honest, there are more people talking about Street Fighter 6’s logo than the actual game.
