Some games flourish on multiple platforms. Some should stay on console. Take Street Fighter IV, a complicated, rich 2D fighting game that requires precise control and tactile feedback to pull off complicated combos and attacks. A game like that begs for a gamepad or ideally, a fight stick, yet it still finds its way on platforms that have no business hosting this kind of experience.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, a squad-based shooter, is unlike any other Resident Evil game before it–and perhaps changing the formula is exactly what the series needs.
Capcom’s Devil May Cry HD Collection is arriving this spring–April 3rd, 2012 to be exact.
Fans felt a bit betrayed by Capcom when it seemingly abandoned one of the most anticipated games in fighting game history, but Capcom has come to show that fan service is something it definitely excels at and it does it well. For a title that came out only a few months after the original, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 is not just assorted DLC. With all the new features and new characters included on the disc, this game is a definite steal.
Capcom has finally revealed gameplay footage of the final two characters that will join the frantic Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 action. On Marvel’s side you have the interplanetary explorer Rocket Raccoon and on Capcom’s side the zombie-killing-MacGyver, Frank West. Again, Capcom has taken the liberty of giving both of these characters some very interesting move sets, and I can’t wait to see them in the hands of the public. There will be some creative combinations with these characters on your team, and with a little experimenting, I can see both of these characters making a huge splash in the fighting circles.
Vampires are taking over. They’re dominating TV (True Blood, Vampire Diaries), the box office (Let Me In, Vampires Suck) and taking a serious bite out of pop culture (I refuse to name Stephanie Meyer’s crapfest – even though it did introduce me to Florence and the Machine). Still, the video game industry was ahead of the curve on this blood-sucking trend. Here are the five best vampires in video game history.
When it comes to fighting games, few men know are as knowledgable as Capcom’s Seth Killian–which is why 2D-X News Editors Avion Foster-Jarvis and Eric Guzman arranged a meeting with him at New York Comic Con. The three men chatted about the intricacies of the Street Fighter X Tekken Gem System and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3‘s Heroes and Heralds mode.
2D-X News Editors Avion Foster Jarvis and Eric Guzman serve up some quick initial impressions immediately after playing Nova and Phoenix Wright.
New York Comic Con witnessed Capcom crush the hearts of hardcore fight fans once again with the announcement of a new gameplay mechanic called the Gem System. The system is meant to help casual fighters join the fray, and compete with more advanced players. The announcement came with the sound of many groans and cheers at Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken panel.
Nerd nation is out enjoying the sights and sounds at NY Comic Con 2011. Today, I played a new build Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 build–it has come a long way from what it was showcased at Fight Club earlier this year. To begin, I will only discuss the new characters that have been revealed: Vergil, Nova, Pheonix Wright, and Iron Fist.
