Seeing Redfield

News Hold a Vigil for Vergil in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition on PS4
White's right
You can quit complaining now – Dante's back with his silver locks, and he's brought fellow grey top Nero along for the ride. As previously announced, Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition will be making its way to the PlayStation 4 this summer, marking the return of the divisive Japanese developed entry over eight years after its original...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (PlayStation 4)
Dead good
Resident Evil's been in a bit of a rut of late, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 never looked like it was going to break that cycle prior to release. With dated visuals, dodgy dialogue, and rudimentary third-person shooting, the title didn't exactly put its best foot forward in press previews. But this spin-off – a successor to the...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Four: Metamorphosis (PlayStation 4)
Dumb and dumber
Pin back your decaying lugholes and listen for a second: there are two endings to Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and one will leave you feeling significantly more satisfied than the other. In what's perhaps a nod to survival horror games of old, there's a throwaway choice in an earlier episode that completely changes the complexion of...
News PS4 Exclusive Deep Down Is Aiming to Have a 10 Year Life Span
Still no release date, though
Always good for a tease, Capcom has released an interview with Deep Down's Teruki Miyashita. In it, the senior manager of consumer games development talks about the free-to-play title's development, it's graphical prowess, and its life span. "To make the best use of the performance of PlayStation 4, we have brought our...

News Delve into Some Live Dragon's Dogma Online Gameplay
Fanning the flames
It feels like we've been drip fed information on the upcoming Dragon's Dogma Online for a few months now, but we've finally been granted some live, uncut gameplay to gawk at. The free-to-play role-playing game looks pretty good to us, with a sprawling world to explore, massive monsters to fight, and glory to be won. Thanks to...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Three: Judgment (PlayStation 4)
Meat is murder
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been the surprise package of 2015 so far, serving up a survival horror experience befitting of the brand that it belongs to. Episode Three: Judgment furthers this fine form, delivering what feels like an extended highlights reel, demonstrating everything that makes Capcom's cult series great. It may...
News Remember Me's Sequel Has Already Been Consigned to Memory
Script written and ready to go
Parisian developer DONTNOD may have its work cut out with the intriguing – but somewhat out-of-touch – Life Is Strange, but that doesn't mean that it's forgotten about Remember Me. Regular readers will, er, recall the Capcom published title starting life as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, before Sony dropped the release...
Review DmC: Devil May Cry - Definitive Edition (PlayStation 4)
The devil fears Sparda
You can almost feel Ninja Theory's middle finger protruding out of DmC: Devil May Cry - Definitive Edition, a remastered version of its polarising 2013 reboot. Rather than settle for a simple visual overhaul, the Cambridge-based developer has delved deep into the core of its divisive PlayStation 3 title, retuning aspects of...
Rumour Street Fighter V Will Throw a Fireball at the PS4 Next Spring
Nash to know
Street Fighter V may not be far away, if a deleted comment on Capcom's official Unity blog is to be believed. In an attempt to flog some PAX East promotional gear, the publisher unwittingly mentioned that the PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive fighter will throw a fireball next spring. The vague release window has since been removed,...
News Resident Evil: Revelations 2's Season Pass Ain't Playing Nice on PS4
Claire we go again
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been one of the biggest surprises of the year so far, but what's not a shock is that the Season Pass is broken on the PlayStation 4. As games get more complicated, Sony's really struggling with all of the moving parts on its storefront, and Capcom's episodic adventure is just the lat
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Two: Contemplation (PlayStation 4)
Well drilled
This is uncharted territory, isn't it? We're used to waiting months for the second instalment in Telltale's episodic outings – Tales from the Borderlands, anyone? – but Capcom's already returned with a timely dose of the surprisingly solid Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Of course, the speed at which Episode Two: Contemplation has...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode One: Penal Colony (PlayStation 4)
Penal infection
You never know quite what you're going to get with Resident Evil anymore. After all, Capcom's flagship franchise has cultivated so many clangers over the years that it's lucky to be held in such high esteem. Of course, a lot of that goodwill stems from the series' various smash hits: an unforgettable night in the Spencer Mansion, a...
Feature What Do You Mean You've Never Played... Breath of Fire IV?
Split personality
Another PSone game that was released around the same time that the PlayStation 2 hit store shelves, Breath of Fire IV got a little lost among the initial transition. And that's a real shame, because we reckon that Capcom's final numbered Breath of Fire title is right up there with the best role-playing games on Sony's first...
First Impressions Is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Rotten or Ripe on PS4?
Claire's accessories
Resident Evil: Revelations faced a tough test when we reviewed it on the PlayStation 3 a couple of years ago. At the time of its release in May 2013, this author had already played a meaty chunk of The Last of Us, and Jill Valentine's oceanic romp failed to really live up. In hindsight, it was perhaps a little unfair to expect...
News Pre-Order PS4, PC Exclusive Street Fighter V for Access to Beta
Here comes a new challenger
Just when we thought that we could settle down for some Champion's League football, Capcom's dropped some big news regarding PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive Street Fighter V. Alongside a new trailer – which we'll get to imminently – it's announced that it will be embarking on "the largest and most ambitious online beta...
Should have known
Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This appears to be caused by some sort of problem with Sony's service, but the company has stated...

With so many games adopting different pricing models and release structures these days, it's becoming increasingly difficult to figure out a review strategy that makes sense.

News Dragon's Dogma Online Definitely Looks Worthy of Your Time in This New Trailer

The game's newest trailer provides a good look at the release and its characters, as well as some of the monsters that you'll be fighting. It looks a heck of a lot like Dragon's Dogma, but we suppose...
News PS4 RPG Deep Down May End Up Being a Different Game to the One You Know
Back from the deep
We're not quite sure what's happening with Deep Down. The PlayStation 4 exclusive was originally announced a couple of years back, but we've heard very little since, despite publisher Capcom releasing several gameplay clips. Earlier in the month, the Japanese company confirmed that it's still in the works, but also stated that...
Feature What Do You Mean You've Never Played... Dragon's Dogma?
Flamin' heck
Capcom is one of those companies that people like to shout about – usually in a fit of rage – but we'd be mad to forget about one of its best original properties in years: Dragon's Dogma. Released on the PlayStation 3, the title is a bit like a Japanese take on open world, Western role-playing games. It's got just about everything...
News There's Still Hope of Dragon's Dogma Online Swooping Overseas
Swooping is good
We may have only just reported on the disappointing news that we won't be seeing Deep Down anytime soon, but Capcom fortunately hasn't abandoned good news entirely.

News You Won't Be Getting PS4 Exclusive Deep Down Anytime Soon
Deeper down than you think
There's been a lot of speculation about the future of PlayStation 4 exclusive Deep Down, especially after publisher Capcom recently revealed Dragon's Dogma Online, another free-to-play title that's heading to Sony's newest console in Japan this year. Depending on your perspective, the following is either going to be...
News These New Dragon's Dogma Online PS4 Screenshots Have Us Desperate to Try It
Monster hunting
Assuming Dragon's Dogma Online's free-to-play model doesn't sour the overall experience, the biggest worry that we have right now is that we'll never actually get to play it — or at least, we won't get to play it in English. The title's newest screenshots look rather good, showing off some of the monsters that you'll be going...

Ken you feel the hype?
Street Fighter V is clearly a long way away from being finished, but Capcom is taking an interesting approach with the game, allowing pros to get hands-on time with an early version of the sequel – before presumably grilling them for feedback thereafter.

Sick as a dogma
The phrase free-to-play may have prompted you to turn your nose up at Dragon's Dogma Online, but the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 role-playing game looks every inch the co-operative series successor that you've been waiting for. In this brand new trailer, you'll see groups of four warriors taking on increasingly large...
News PS4 and PS3 Console Exclusive Dragon's Dogma Online Looks Fantastic in New Famitsu Scans
Getting hot in here
This week's Famitsu magazine seems to have blown open the recently announced Dragon's Dogma Online, and we've got a few scans from the publication to prove it. Obviously there's not too much that you can learn from the images unless you can read Japanese, but we reckon that the lovely pictures make them worth studying. Indeed,...
News You'll Be Able to Pay to Reanimate Yourself in Resident Evil: Revelations 2
Dead rising
Who doesn't love a good microtransaction? Capcom caused the web to pull out their pitchforks this week by announcing that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will feature premium Life Crystals, which you'll be able to use to reanimate yourself should you die in the forthcoming survival horror's Raid Mode. We can't bear the tension. To be fair,...

If you're readying a rant regarding a potentially watered down experience, though,...
News Can You Handle This DmC: Definitive Edition Gameplay Clip?
Dante answer that
Ninja Theory promised us that DmC: Devil May Cry would have the "feel" of 60 frames-per-second on the PlayStation 3, but it's clearly scrapped that idea for the title's forthcoming Definitive Edition on the PlayStation 4, settling upon the faster framerate for its next-gen re-release. And this brand new video should give you an...
News Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi Brings Over-The-Top Samurai Action to PS4
In Japan at least
The Sengoku Basara series is returning to the fray this Summer, as its newest instalment slashes onto the PS4 and PS3.

For anyone who's out of the...
Review Resident Evil (PlayStation 4)
S.T.A.R.S. power
The Resident Evil "REmake" is frequently offered as an example of just how fantastic the series was back in the day.

The reason for the change is unclear, but we suspect that the aforementioned protagonist's...

Eagle eyed fans spotted the game's icon on a PlayStation 4 dashboard image, which the publisher is using...

Dungeon bawler
Who remembers Capcom's gorgeous dungeon crawler Deep Down? The free-to-play title was announced alongside the PlayStation 4 eons ago, and was set to go into beta when the next-gen system launched in Japan earlier this year – but it's been missing in action for a while now.
