News In-Game Microtransactions No Longer Coming to Street Fighter V, Says Capcom
Developer ditches Zenny
"We will no longer be introducing Zenny to Street Fighter V as a real money currency option," Capcom has stated in its most recent Street Fighter V update.

News New Single Player Modes Confirmed for Street Fighter V
Now we're talking?
Ah, the announcement that many Street Fighter fans have been waiting for. Well, kind of. Today, Capcom has spilled the beans on Street Fighter V's upcoming story mode expansion, which will apparently offer around four hours of new, narrative driven content. It'll be released at the end of June, as we know, and in it, you'll be...
Rumour Dead Rising 4 Leaks, But May Be Skipping PS4
West's best
Dead Rising's never really felt like a PlayStation franchise. The original launched too early for the PlayStation 3, despite it getting "ported" to the Nintendo Wii. Dead Rising 2 and spin-off Off the Record did hit Sony's system, but the game's prequel episodes were exclusive to the Xbox 360. And then, of course, Dead Rising 3 launched...
News Capcom's Missed Its Target of Releasing One Street Fighter V Character Per Month
Poor Ibuki
Ever since Street Fighter V launched in February, Capcom's had a tough time trying to communicate with fans. The brawler is meant to be a platform that's constantly growing and evolving, but between content delays, communication cock-ups, and a supposedly stretched post-release development cycle, the Japanese company just can't seem to...
News Resident Evil 5 Punches Rocks on PS4 from 28th June
Muscle man

The timeframe does come courtesy of the Xbox store page, so we're still awaiting official confirmation for Sony's new-gen system – it's almost certain to...
News Here Comes a New Challenger! Ibuki Blows Up Street Fighter V
The bomb
Street Fighter V may have bombed at retail, but Ibuki's here to make sure that it bombs in-game, too.

The trailer above demonstrates just how fun this new challenger can be – we...
News Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps Is Looking Really Rubbish on PS4
Not even Resident Evil 2 maps can save it
Surprise! The game that no one asked for, Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, is shaping up to be something of a stinker. Capcom recently announced that the competitive shooter spin-off will boast a couple of maps based upon Resident Evil 2, which should be a reason for real hype. However, seeing the...
Rumour Resident Evil 7 to Return to Horror Roots on PS4
P.T. designer promisingly on board
Capcom is apparently preparing for a "full-scale offensive" with regards to the Resident Evil franchise towards the back-half of this year, and now respected video game consultancy gaffer Serkan Toto has shed a little light on what we can expect. Writing on Twitter, the Kantan Games chief said that the "entire game...
News Capcom: Street Fighter V Needed More Polish and More Content
CEO admits the brawler deserved better
We've said it a million times before, and we'll say it again: Street Fighter V is a bloody good fighting game - but its prowess as a brawler hasn't been enough to disperse the air of negativity that's surrounded the title since it launched earlier this year. Recently, Capcom revealed that the game has actually...
News Is It Almost Time for Resident Evil 7 on PS4?
Full-scale offensive
The Internet is convinced that Resident Evil 7 is months away from smashing through a glass window, and all signs suggest that it may be right. As part of its financial report recently, Capcom said the following: "In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company is scheduled to release the strategic titles of Sengoku Basara...
News Street Fighter V Has Not Flopped As Hard As You Think
Brawler's doing okay
And breathe. Street Fighter V is not the commercial catastrophe that many predicted – in fact, it's doing pretty damn well all things considered. An update to Capcom's website – accurate as of 31st March, 2016 – reveals that the brawler has sold 1.4 million copies across the PlayStation 4 and PC, when taking into account...
News More Single Player Content Is Coming to Street Fighter V, Says Capcom
The basics
Much to the disappointment of many a potential buyer, Street Fighter V launched in February with minimal single player content. Aside from the insultingly short character stories, survival and training were, and still are, the only options when it comes to facing off against the artificial intelligence. That's going to change soon,...
News Guile's Back with a Boom in His Street Fighter V Trailer
Complete with a new theme
Guile's looking like a real contender in his newly revealed official character trailer. The Sonic Boom-spewing American seems to be another solid addition to the title's expanding roster, and he can even walk while crouching. What a champ. That's not all, though. Alongside a detailed look at his powerful arsenal of attacks...
Soapbox Street Fighter V Gets a Lot of Hate, But It Succeeds Superbly as a Tournament Game
Ramsey reckons Capcom's latest is a joy to watch
I stayed up until 07:00AM this morning watching the last eight of a Street Fighter V tournament. When I told editor Sammy Barker about my shenanigans, he looked at me like I was a complete lunatic [I believe I said I'd rather eat my own fecal matter than engage in such an activity - Ed] – but I...

Boom boom shake the room
Ah, that's a bit better, Capcom. Following an earlier leak, the Japanese publisher's gone ahead and confirmed that Guile will be April's new Street Fighter V combatant. The muscular military man will return with all of his well-known techniques intact, along with his really-dumb-but-somehow-still-cool iconic hairdo. As with...
News Guile Retains His Iconic Hairdo in Leaked Street Fighter V Screenshots
Insert Sonic Boom pun here

Promotional screenshots of series mainstay Guile have surfaced online following a leak over on the publisher's Facebook page. The pictures were supposedly published by accident, but were quickly...
News Street Fighter V to KO Rage Quitters Once and for All
Better late than never?
Are you minxes still pulling the plug on your PlayStation 4 each time that you lose in Street Fighter V? You won't be able to get away with that League Points saving tactic for much longer, as Capcom has said that it will finally roll out an update to punish cheaters later this month. It probably should have had some kind of...
Knocked for six
How did this happen? No, really – how did this happen? Resident Evil 6, the most recent numbered entry in Capcom's iconic survival horror series, is an unmitigated mess – a real turd of a game that's so downright bad that it beggars belief. You'd think that with the series celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the publisher...
News Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Stands Under Capcom's Brolly a Little Longer
Stay dry
Iffy looking PlayStation 4 spin-off shooter Resident Evil Umbrella Corps will stay frosty a little longer than intended, as Capcom has delayed the title out of its original May release window and into June. It's just a month, of course, but the game will now arrive on 21st June in Europe and North America – the same day as No Man's Sky...
News Capcom: We Underestimated Street Fighter V's Single Player Popularity
You don't say
Street Fighter V, when you're in the midst of a bout, is an unbeatable experience. Capcom's latest brawler is arguably one of its greatest, but unless you're obsessed with the online component, there's still not a whole lot to do in the title. Now, producer Yoshinori Ono has admitted that the publisher missed the mark with regards to...

News Street Fighter V's Mega March Update Is Finally Happening
About time
When Capcom announced that Street Fighter V's first big update would arrive in March - adding some much needed content to the game - we probably would have put money on it being out by now, but what the publisher really meant was that it'd be out right at the end of month, and that it'd be split into two parts. We're glad that's all...
News Former Street Fighter V Rage Quitter Is Now Ranked 29th in the World
F.A.N.Gtastic
Last week, we reported on a Japanese Street Fighter V player known as World_Combo, who was one of the first two players to reach the Super Platinum rank online. However, World_Combo was stripped of over 9000 league points after evidence of rage quitting was presented to Capcom. Consequently, World_Combo was knocked all the way back...

News Street Fighter V's First Major PS4 Update Brings Challenges, Bug Fixes
Big improvements to Battle Lounge and more

News Capcom Knocks a Super Platinum Rank Street Fighter V Player Down to Bronze
Ouch
Capcom wasn't lying when it said that there were going to be some harsh penalties for quitting out of unfinished matches in Street Fighter V, and a fine example of the developer's effort to rid the game of quitters comes thanks to the case of Japanese player World_Combo. World_Combo was one of two combatants to first reach the Super Platinum...

News Hmmm, Street Fighter V Came Close to Having Super Realistic Graphics
Ryu serious?
We don't know about you, but when we picture Street Fighter these days, we don't just think about that time we got beaten up in our very first ranked match - we see vibrant colours and a lot of style. Street Fighter V is perhaps the most stylish entry in the series, but according to Japanese publication Game Spark, it didn't always look...
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...

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...

Street Fighter V is finally here, and we think that the game's easier to learn than ever.

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.

It's time to rise up and be counted, as Street Fighter V is almost here.

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.
