News Street Fighter V Rage Quitters Are in for a World of Hurt, Says Capcom
Can't run from this fight
Rage quitting has been an issue in Street Fighter V ever since players realised that they could drop out of matches without being penalised. While it's pretty crazy that the game launched with no punishments for such conduct in place, it looks like Capcom's preparing to tackle the problem head on. "Yes, we are well aware...
News Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 Are All Shuffling to PS4 This Year
Yes, all of 'em
When you're in dire financial straits like Capcom are, the only solution is to throw as many remasters at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. Not content with bringing Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to Sony's new-gen system, the publisher has now announced that Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6...
News It Sounds Like Street Fighter V Is Grabbing an Arcade Mode
Ready for another round?
We've seen a lot of complaints about Street Fighter V - heck, we've done plenty of moaning ourselves when we couldn't connect to our friends for a quick duel or two - but easily the most popular complaint that we've heard stems from the fact that the beat-'em-up doesn't have an arcade mode of any kind. Fortunately, Capcom...

News Street Fighter V Seems to Be Fighting Fit on PS4 Now
Get ready
After what has been an incredibly rocky start to its career, Street Fighter V finally seems to be rising to the challenge, with the game's servers supposedly in good working order. It's about time, of course, but we're just glad that it's up and running. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. This isn't just us assuming...
Soapbox Street Fighter V's PS4 Launch Has Been a Bummer
And it could have been so easily avoided
God, I love Street Fighter V. I'm about as good at it as I am guitar – which is to say that I know the major chords, but you can stick your pentatonic scales up your arse – but, like performing a very average rendition of Wonderwall, I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring the basics of Capcom's latest. Cammy's...
News Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4
Ken you believe it
There's a weird bug going on in Street Fighter V right now, only adding to the brawler's somewhat controversial launch. As you may already know, Capcom's latest sports 16 playable characters from Ken and his banana hair to the snot flicking Birdie, but this particular issue actually sees fighters disappear from your available...
News Street Fighter V's Online Matchmaking Now Works on PS4
Flawless at the moment
Many of you may have found that examining your fist online in Street Fighter V was virtually impossible last night. The game's servers could be described as flaky at best, but the biggest problem was matchmaking with other players. We tried for about three hours, but couldn't get into a single game. Fortunately, at the time of...
News Street Fighter V's PS4 Servers Are Proving Flimsier Than Dhalsim's Limbs
Knocked out
A major release with a heavy emphasis on online play: what could possibly go wrong? Oh right, the servers could falter – and Street Fighter V's have been blowing hot and cold all day. The title completely collapsed overnight, prompting Capcom to bring the game offline for an hour while it fixed the issues. Since then, things have been...
News Street Fighter V's Free Cinematic Story Mode Will Take a Couple of Hours to Complete
Gulp
We're going to assume that this isn't going to go down well with the majority of readers, but excitable Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono has hinted that the game's upcoming cinematic story expansion will take between "one or two hours to complete". This is the mode that's coming in June which will presumably mirror Mortal Kombat X's own...
News Dress to Impress with Licensed Street Fighter V Clobber
Geek chic Masters
Street Fighter is one of the few franchises that's more than a game – it's a cultural touchstone. It's no surprise, then, to see merchandise manufacturers go crazy with licensed goods for the latest entry in the fighting franchise. Numskull, known for its seasonal Street Fighter knitwear, has gone particularly nuts ahead of the...
Guide Mastering the Basics in Street Fighter V on PS4
Follow your fist
Street Fighter V is finally here, and we think that the game's easier to learn than ever. This is great news for those who've always wanted to leap into the genre, but it can still be daunting, and sometimes, asking for advice – even with the best will in the world – can simply make things more confusing. The best fighting...
Feature What Modes Do You Actually Get in Street Fighter V on PS4?
Also, a quick content roadmap
For our money, Street Fighter V is easily the best brawler on the PlayStation 4 – and it may just be one of the greatest fighting games ever made. The sequel's peerless ability to fuse accessibility with tournament tier depth is its true strength, but it does come with a caveat: the single player experience, in its...
Round Up Street Fighter V PS4 Reviews Rise Up
Round one
It's time to rise up and be counted, as Street Fighter V is almost here. The latest entry in Capcom's uber-popular punch-up property is being pitched as a sort of pseudo-service, and phase one rolls out this week, exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC. But with a lack of single player content threatening to steal the series' championship...
Feature An Introduction to Street Fighter V's F.A.N.G.
Fangs very much
F.A.N.G. – now forever referred to as Fang, thanks – was the final character revealed for Street Fighter V's release. Not many people know a great deal about the lanky weirdo, as he hasn't been available during any beta tests, so allow us to shine a light on Bison's newest sycophant. First thing's first: Fang's really going to...
Fight for the future
PlayStation 4 console exclusive Street Fighter V is upon us. Aimed at expanding the fighting franchise's fanbase, much has been made of its approach to accessibility. Some welcome the push, while others are warier, afraid that accessibility precludes depth. Are these fears confirmed, or is the release a worthy successor to the...
News PS4 Spin-Off Umbrella Corps Travels to Resident Evil 5's Africa
Plaga drama
West Africa will be the backdrop for some of the battles in PlayStation 4 spin-off Umbrella Corps, as Capcom has announced that the title will boast a map based upon Kijuju, the sun-baked city from Resident Evil 5. This will accompany another arena inspired by the village from Resident Evil 4, so at least the publisher's getting...

News Capcom Copyright Suggests PS4 Exclusive Deep Down Isn't Dead Yet
A light in the darkness
You remember Deep Down, don't you? A PlayStation 4 exclusive from Capcom, the game was originally announced back in February 2013, but we've heard nothing about it for quite some time. Indeed, it came to light that the Japanese company was having real trouble with its new-gen Panta Rhei engine, which led to many, including...

News Resident Evil Spin-Off Umbrella Corps Shuffles to PS4 in May
'Ella! 'Ella!

Shadaloo-ky here
Capcom's gone ahead and spilled a load of details regarding Street FIghter V's story mode ahead of the brawler's release next month.

Review Resident Evil Zero (PS4)
From zero to hero
Last year, Capcom delighted fans (and newcomers) with an HD remaster of its legendary GameCube exclusive remake, Resident Evil. A year later and the firm's other former Nintendo exclusive Resident Evil Zero has arrived on the PlayStation 4. But while last year's efforts were great, the ported package still had some areas of uneven...
News Street Fighter V Scores Console Exclusive Box Branding
It is known
Console makers love to make it known when a game is exclusive to their system, but the 'Only on PlayStation' branding that Sony usually employs doesn't suit every single piece of software. Street Fighter V is an example of a release that will never deploy on the Xbox One, but it is coming to the PC, so it's technically available...
News Capcom Hasn't Ruled Out a Sequel to Dragon's Dogma
Stoking the flames
Dragon's Dogma is an often overlooked open world role-playing release from Capcom, which released on the PlayStation 3 back in 2012.

F.A.N.G. you very much

News Is Resident Evil 6 Getting Reanimated for PS4?
Redfield alert
Confession time: this author, despite being a big fan of Capcom's campy survival horror series, hasn't played Resident Evil 6. The sequel has sat sealed on your host's shelf since its 2012 launch day, but has never been touched since then. It's one last-gen game that this scribe wants to go back to – but it seems that we won't have...
News Capcom: There's Time for Xbox Fans to Purchase a PS4 Before Street Fighter V
"It's at a very attractive price point"
Street Fighter V will release as a console exclusive on the PlayStation 4. This means that there'll be a PC version of the game, but it's unlikely to ever make its way to the Xbox One. And in an interview with GameSpot, producer Yoshinori Ono sent the following message to fans of other formats: "There's plenty...
News Capcom Hopes Street Fighter V Will Attract a New Audience
Company is looking at esports and younger players
We wouldn't say that the Street Fighter series is impenetrable. Just about anyone can pick one of the games up and bash out a few basic attacks - but it's often the massive amount of depth that's to be found in competitive play which is too much for many players to wrap their head around. It's always...

In it, we see the beastly brawler under the tutelage of master Gouken, unable...

More treat than trick
The incoming arrival of Hallowe'en can only mean one thing: an abundance of daft costumes for all of your favourite fighting games.

Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots.
