Capcom had its full suite of Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network titles on hand at Captivate 08, including Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Plunder, and Bionic Commando: Rearmed as well as two games I was looking forward to getting time with, 1942: Joint Strike and Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3. As a…
Bionic Commando Multiplayer In Action
We got ample time with Bionic Commando's single player portion, but we weren't lucky enough to *ahem* join the "swinger's club" and shoot, punch and toss cars at our other bionically armed brethren. We did get a chance to go hands-on with Bionic Commando: Rearmed's four-player deathmatch, but the fully 3D re-imagining?…
Resident Evil 5 Not Redesigned After Race Criticism, Says Producer
When Capcom first showed Resident Evil 5 at E3 2007, there was a collective sense that what we'd just seen was going to stir the pot, as a big brawny white guy had just done his share of laying waste to an angry mob of Africans. Sure enough, Capcom of Japan received more than its share of criticism from those inside…
Street Fighter IV's Sandy Summer Fun Trailer
If you need one last injection of hype and haven't already basked in its goodness, don't miss this beautifully rendered, full length "sand-painting" trailer for Street Fighter IV. It features a showdown between classic street fighter Guile and French newcomer Abel in a grainy style that Street Fighter IV producer…
Capcom Giving Neopets The Puzzle Quest Treatment
Capcom, Neopets, and Puzzle Quest creators Infinite Interactive are teaming up to deliver a new Neopet title to the Nintendo Wii, DS, and PC this holiday season, Neopets Puzzle Adventure. It combines the cute collectibility of Neopets characters with...puzzles...and quests. Rather than the Bejewelliabaise we are used…
Hands-On With Street Fighter IV: The Final Arcade Version
Capcom shipped in four Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets for its international media event, dubbed Captivate 08, giving us a chance to go hands on with final code, an experience that was far better than what we'd played at GDC earlier this year. With a final roster of sixteen—the twelve classic Street Fighter II…
Dark Void Gameplay Impressions
Dark Void is basically Crimson Skies with on-foot combat. That may be overgeneralizing things, but Ed Fries co-founder at Airtight Games and former Microsoft Game Studios guy essentially pitched the game as such at Capcom's Captivate 08 event as the type of game that the team wanted to make. With a mechanic the studio…
Street Fighter IV Trailer Features New, Classic Characters, Grating…
Part cinematic sand-painted pre-rendered action, part straight to the point gameplay, this new Street Fighter IV trailer may be your first look at newcomers Abel, Rufus, Crimson Viper and El Fuerte. It may also be your introduction to Annoying Street Fighter IV Announcer Guy, a chatty Cathy who runs at the mouth with…
Bionic Commando Hands-On Impressions
Capcom's big-budget revitalization of its Bionic Commando intellectual property has the potential be outshone by its classic remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed, as far as hardcore fans are concerned, but the new-gen update, the one starring Nathan Spencer, shouldn't be overlooked. Both are graphically gorgeous in their…
Capcom Announces Spyborgs For Wii
The only title to be officially announced at Captivate 08 was Bionic Games' Spyborgs, a Wii exclusive action game touted as resembling a Saturday morning cartoon, complete with mini-games as commercial breaks. Spyborgs may be more Adult Swim than it is Saturday morning fodder, despite having a clean and unoffensive…
