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...

News Ultra Street Fighter IV's Hallowe'en Costumes Are Horribly Good
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.

Human hurricane
Street Fighter mainstay Zangief's bringing his bright red briefs and distinguished chest carpet to the PlayStation 4 in Street Fighter V, publisher Capcom announced in Russia earlier today.

Dead to rights
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.

Review Mega Man Legacy Collection (PS4)
Six of the best
Despite Capcom's best efforts to forget that he even exists, Mega Man's popularity with players endures regardless of the lack of fresh outings.

News Street Fighter V's Already Sounding Slammin'
\m/
Ultra Street Fighter IV was, in many ways, the perfect fighting game – but we'd point to its weird techno soundtrack as one of its only flaws. Street Fighter V sounds like it won't be making the same mistake, as a handful of audio samples have made their way onto the web – and they're much closer to what you'd expect from Capcom's iconic...

Back from the dead
Resident Evil Zero may have originally released on the GameCube, but it was in development for the Nintendo 64 prior to that.
