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."

The Best Games Of 2010... So Far

Fri, Jul 9th, 2010, 9:14 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA

I'll cut straight to the chase on this one, 2010 has had some phenomenal games. Most years start out a little slow and then wind up into a big bang, but honestly it's hard to imagine anything better around the corner aside from a few releases here or there.

So before we get all wrapped up in Halo: Reach, or severely addicted to the latest MMO, let's take this time to reflect upon the phenomenal games that the first half of 2010 have brought to us. More »

April NPDs: Sam Fisher Walks Into The Top Spot

Fri, May 14th, 2010, 10:44 am (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS

The NPD Group have released the overall sales numbers for the month of April 2010, and the results don't inspire much confidence, unless you happen to be Sam Fisher. The industry experienced a 26 percent decline in revenue compared with this time last year. One exception is PlayStation 3, Sony is quick to point out their platform is only one with "growth both year over year (42.6 percent) and year to date (37.2 percent)." The full figures are shown below. More »

Super Street Fighter IV Review

Fri, Apr 30th, 2010, 8:51 am (EST) BY ADAM MA

The Street Fighter series is usually one that's noted for its love/hate relationship with fighting fans. As there aren't too many fighting games out there, the genre has certainly seen a lot of spotlight, but tends to be criticized harshly for its flaws. Fans will praise the technical skill required to engage in tournament-level play, while those who enjoy games like Blazblue or Capcom Vs series tend to devalue the game based upon its inherently slow and deliberate gameplay. So with this in mind Capcom took a different approach to their beloved franchise, attempting to satisfy both the long-term and hardcore fans while drawing in a new audience that may have never considered the series worthwhile before. Fortunately for them, it worked. More »


Why Mainstream Gaming Needs Super Street Fighter 4

Why Mainstream Gaming Needs Super Street Fighter 4

Mon, Apr 19th, 2010, 8:28 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA

Street Fighter is one of the best known and easily identifiable franchises in the gaming industry, let alone for fighting games. It holds history as one of the first major arcade fighting-game successes, has a main character about as identifiable as Mario or Master Chief, and boasts an absolutely terrible movie featuring Raul Julia (who was awesome). It's for all those reasons and more that Super Street Fighter 4 is a necessity for the gaming industry, let alone mainstream gamers.

It seems like a pretty sensationalist statement, but how many other games actively search for ways to be more fan driven? How many try to encourage tournaments between friends or try to bridge the distance gap in game communities? Few companies have gone as far as Capcom in making a solid multiplayer experience, let alone a decent fighting game and while the Street Fighter series may not be for everyone (I personally prefer Guilty Gear) it cannot be denied that some aspects of Super Street Fighter 4 should be universal to all other fighting game titles.

Super Street Fighter IV Preview

Tue, Apr 13th, 2010, 12:03 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA

New, improved, and rebalanced. That's the theme to Super Street Fighter 4, the upgraded version to Capcom's console hit Street Fighter 4. Featuring new characters, new ultra attacks, and a variety of new game modes Capcom is making sure that it's last iteration of Street Fighter 4 is jam-packed with new content to keep its fans busy. Some of the options may seem a bit frivolous to anyone who isn't a big fighting game fan, but it's the small details that make the difference in this title, and will end up changing the face of the game for many casual and professional players.

Defining Immersion: The Fighting Genre

Tue, Jan 19th, 2010, 9:24 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA

How to properly capture and engage the average gamer is something that companies have been struggling with for a very long time. As tastes between individuals vary greatly, it's natural that each and every person will define immersion differently. Gaming Union covered a keynote speech by Yannis Mallat at DIG London 2009, in which he described how Ubisoft tests to ensure their games thoroughly have the ability to capture an audience before moving into full development. However even once a game has a core mechanic down that doesn't mean it'll be an inherent success. More »
