0  GamesCom: Seth Killian Interview Thu, Sep 2nd, 2010, 6:10 pm (EST) BY LEE BRADLEY Aside from being the Capcom Community Manager, an all-round Street Fighter master and the guy who SFIV's boss was named after, Seth Killian is also one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. It was a pleasure then, to sit down in the relative calm of a hotel room just around the corner from the carnage that was GamesCom and chew the fat about everything from the pains of balancing, to generating "a giant storm of crap."

3  Two New Characters Announced For Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Sat, Aug 21st, 2010, 2:25 am (EST) BY ADAM MA You all know the way these kinds of news posts go by now, so I'll make sure to keep this short and sweet. Most people are pretty familiar with Viewtiful Joe, who has made a few other cameos before this. He also has apparently been given a new voice actor, of whom doesn't sound quite right to me. More »

0  First Glimpse Of Tekken X Street Fighter Fri, Aug 20th, 2010, 2:27 pm (EST) BY COLIN You've seen the trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken, you've seen the playable demo as well as multiple screenshots. What you haven't seen is Namco's version of the fighting crossover, Tekken X Street Fighter. It's still in the very early stages of development, so early that Ryu's character model had to borrow Paul's wardrobe. It's looking pretty good thus far. Enjoy the trailer, courtesy of GameTrailers, More »

1  Why Japanese Developers Need New IP's (Part One) Wed, Aug 18th, 2010, 4:01 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA Many Japanese developers are struggling to keep up with the big numbers drawn in by western games. This isn't as much speculation, as it is fact. Outside of Nintendo, Square Enix, and Platinum Games (and a few select others), it's difficult to really pin down a developer that's been a hit overseas which Japan can directly claim. But the reasons behind these failures are not hard to identify. In fact, it can all be summed up in one pretty simple question: Where are the new IP's? More »

0  Capcom: The King of Fighters Wed, Aug 11th, 2010, 8:37 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA Capcom is, at the moment, the dominant force in the fighting game industry. There's no sense in denying it, regardless of what style of fighter you may prefer. From their popular Versus series of games (Marvel vs Capcom, Tatsunoko vs Capcom), to their original IPs such as Street Fighter, they're successfully holding a lead that most other developers would die for. But is their position really that hard to reach? Is there a secret formula to Capcom's success that no other developer can copy? Not really, it just takes a little bit of time and listening to a few of your fans to ensure a spot as number one. Though there are many aspects in the fighting genre that are shared across all games, few have done more to assist the multiplayer community like Capcom has. They've set a high bar, an industry standard, but they shouldn't have been the first to do it. Tournament modes, solid netcode, and a few fan-requested updates are all that's really required to turn a 'great' game into an 'awesome' game. Yet despite these pretty basic concepts, other developers continue to mess things up. Leaving out fan favourite characters, or making their games launch with poor online-playability is embarrassing, and makes room for your competition to claim the glory. More »

0  Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Hands On Mon, Aug 9th, 2010, 8:42 am (EST) BY NICK Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a quirky new IP from Capcom, not surprising considering its development was headed up by Shu Takumi, creator of the Ace Attorney series. The game is based around the death of Sissel, a character who's killed by a mysterious assassin known as Jeego. Sissel wakes up dead essentially with no memory of who he is and no understanding of why he was killed. He then vows to find out why he was killed and to stop more murders from happening at the hands of Jeego. With the help of the haunted lamp Kuneri, Sissel learns of his powers to possess inanimate objects and travel back in time four minutes before a victim's death so that he may change their fate.

0  Silver Surfer Rumored For MvC3 Sat, Jul 31st, 2010, 10:39 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA There have been a lot of fake posts of 'character lineups' for Marvel vs Capcom 3 lately, and everyone seems to be desperately biting.
