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...
Round Up Resident Evil: Revelations 2 PS4 Reviews Are a Sight for Sore Eyes
You've got Redfield on you
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. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 really takes the biscuit, though, launching on a disc in March – but also as part of four weekly episodes on the...
News Dragon's Dogma Online Definitely Looks Worthy of Your Time in This New Trailer
The whole hogma
It's normal to be cautious of free-to-play titles in this day and age, but we'd still love to get our hands on Dragon's Dogma Online. 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...

News Fighting Game Champs Duke It Out in PS4 Console Exclusive Street Fighter V
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. And in the video embedded below, you'll see veteran Daigo 'The Beast'...

It's been built using Unreal Engine 3 by franchise aficionado Rod Lima – but sadly it's never getting a commercial...
News Dragon's Dogma Online Sure Looks Spectacular on PS4, PS3
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.

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...

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. And it looks like the developer has been using that extra...

News The Smirks Seem Sharper in This DmC: Definitive Edition PS4 Trailer
Dude looks like a douche
Dante’s always been a bit of a di—er, dislikeable fellow, but he was especially obnoxious in DmC: Devil May Cry.
