Poll Was Sony's State of Play the Best Gaming Showcase of June?
The winner of Not-E3
Penning this poll almost feels like throwing a lit match into a room full of flammable gas, but we're going to do it anyway. We want to know: do you think Sony's latest State of Play actually ended up being the best gaming showcase of Not-E3? That is, the best gaming showcase of June 2022? We ask because we think this is a...

Review Capcom Fighting Collection (PS4) - A Superb Compilation of Classics and Oddities
A monster bundle full of little gems
Is it a little unreasonable to say that Capcom loves to dangle a carrot in front of Darkstalkers fans? A trailer promising 'Darkstalkers Are Not Dead' showed up in 2012 featuring a full 3D Lord Raptor, though the subsequent PS3 Darkstalkers Resurrection compilation didn’t live up to that promise at all. Outside...
Mini Review Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
Bayou glow up
Of the three recent Resident Evil PS5 upgrades, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the most interesting. While the original PS4 version had very little in the way of graphical issues, it was the first title to utilise Capcom's RE Engine. The publisher really stepped up its game in later iterations (Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3), and...
Mini Review Resident Evil 3 (PS5) - Disappointing Remake Looks and Runs Much Better
Nemesis Inferno
Ah, Resident Evil 3. A PS5 version isn't going to restore all that cut content, but at least the game looks and runs better on Sony's new system. Just like Resident Evil 2, Capcom hasn't exactly pushed the boat out in terms of enhancing its remake of the underappreciated 1999 title. However, there's little to really complain about:...

Review Resident Evil 2 (PS5) - A Cheap and Fairly Cheerful Upgrade
Mr. X gon' give it to ya
More than three years later, Resident Evil 2 remains the blueprint for any developer looking to remake a classic title.

News Dragon's Dogma 10th Anniversary Event Announced for This Week
Dearest Arisen
Dragon's Dogma fans tuned in to the Capcom Showcase hoping for something, anything on the future of the franchise — but we didn't get anything. At least, not yet.

News Feast Your Eyes on 25 Minutes of 4K Street Fighter 6 PS5 Gameplay
Drive impact
Surprisingly, Street Fighter 6 is playable at Geoff Keighley’s media portion of Summer Game Fest. That means early impressions, and crucially, gameplay footage are beginning to filter in. This 25 minute video by FGC stalwart Maximilian Dood is well worth a watch, then. It includes uninterrupted 4K video of the release, which is...

News Literally Face Off Against Opponents in Street Fighter 6 with Interactive Versus Screen
Put on your game face
For as long as fighting games have been a thing, they've had the versus screen.

News Capcom Confirms Street Fighter 6 Runs on RE Engine
In case you were wondering
If you've yet to see it, we'd highly recommend you check out Street Fighter 6's fantastic new trailer.

News Street Fighter 6 PS5, PS4 Introduces More Accessible Controls for Newcomers
Modern control scheme tones down the learning curve

News Resident Evil Village Will Take Full Advantage of PSVR2 Sense Controllers
Pricing to be announced in due course
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was transformative with PSVR, but it was restricted in some ways. Perhaps hamstrung by the aging PS Move controllers, it was played entirely with the DualShock 4 controller. This was, of course, an adequate experience – but it lacked the tactile feel that we’ve come to expect from...

News Dragon's Dogma 10th Anniversary Website Opens, Asks Fans to Join in 'Momentous Celebration'
Capcom, please
Don't do this to us, Capcom. Don't go making a website specifically to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Dragon's Dogma and then act like we haven't spent the last decade asking for a sequel.

Anniversary, Arisen!
Ten years ago today (that's the 22nd May, in case you're reading this in the future), Capcom released Dragon's Dogma on PS3.

Indeed, its original...

Revitalised?
It’s been eons since we last heard word about Resident Evil Re:Verse, the celebratory multiplayer spin-off that was intended to be a part of the overall Resident Evil Village package.
