Well, it has been a long 8 months since we announced the title back in June of last year but the day has finally come! You can now pick up the HD remastered version of the 2002 classic,  Resident Evil 0 , today digitally on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, Playstation 3, and Steam for $19.99. If you are looking for a physical version, you can pick up  Resident Evil Origins Collection  on Xbox One, and Playstation 4 which also includes the remake of  Resident Evil for $39.99.

Resident Evil 0 is a precursor to  Resident Evil where you play as Rebecca, the young S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team member who is sent along side her comrades to investigate a series of murders in the Arklay Mountains outside of Raccoon City. After her helicopter crashes and she is split up from the rest of her team, Rebecca meets ex-Marine Billy Coen, who was being escorted on a military police transporter after being convicted and sentenced to death for killing 23 people. The unlikely duo must team up in order to survive and find out the truth behind the Arklay Mountain murders.

If you’ve never had a chance to play Resident Evil 0 before, or if you want to experience it in easily the most impressive form it’s ever had, now is a great time to dive into the origins of evil!

Hear ye! Hear ye!

The prophets ‘ave spoken, friends! The PC version of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is here!

Featuring a series of PC specific customization options, from 4K support and uncapped framerate (though 60fps is already super smooth for my eyes) to new hotkey functions and the ability to turn off Pawn banter, this is truly the definitive version of the epic fantasy action RPG we already loved.

Anyways, the title is available now on Steam, and it’ll only cost you $29.99, so take a look at the PC Specs here and then get it so we can trade Pawns!

A few weeks ago we had Yuri and Resident Evil 0 brand manager Andrew take a dive into the new Wesker Mode for Resident Evil 0! Tune in for a full hour of exploding heads and cheesy 90’s pop culture references while we wait for the game to come out next Tuesday. 

On January 19, 2016 you’ll be able to pick up the remastered version of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 in Resident Evil Origins Collection on a disc for PS4 or Xbox One at retail. A standalone version of Resident Evil 0 will also be available digitally on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. If you preorder you will also be able to grab some sweet costumes !

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen ‘s arrival on PC is as imminent as the Dragon itself (in the game, of course), but we wanted to give you an early look at the game running in real time – and a chance for you ask your PC specific questions – so join us at  2:30pm (Pacific) over at  twitch.tv/capcomunity to catch a glimpse of the world of Gransys in smooth 60fps.

And as I teased above, the game itself is coming out this week, on Friday, January 15th. In fact, if you pre-order on Steam, you can already  pre-load the game. Plus, you get a free digital soundtrack and a digital version of the  Dragon’s Dogma Official Design Works art book.

You may be familiar with the acclaimed Dead Rising franchise. Today, the team behind the games, Capcom Game Studio Vancouver, has some great news to share. They’re working with Epic Games to utilize Unreal Engine 4 for their upcoming projects, and they’re hiring! It doesn’t matter if you’ve covered wars, you know.

Capcom Game Studio Vancouver (Capcom Vancouver or CV for short) are adding a whole bunch of development positions to grow their team, and are looking for talented professionals, familiar with Unreal Engine 4, with a strong desire to create awesome gameplay experiences. From Joe Nickolls, the Studio Director:

“We have some ambitious visions for where we want to take our next games and while our previous proprietary engine served the needs for the projects at the time, shifting to Unreal Engine 4 delivers the right tools for our future direction. Not only will we be developing on a powerful and versatile platform, we’ll also work closely with the team at Epic to maximize the capabilities of the latest and greatest technology. Using this industry leading engine also allows us to quickly integrate new talent onto our projects so that we can focus on pioneering new world class entertainment.”

Interested in becoming a part of the Capcom family? Head over to the Capcom Vancouver website , which has more information on the studio, as well as available positions.

“Ah… Amaterasu. Origin of all that is good and mother to us all.”

There’s lots of care taken with the story and folklore present in Okami ! Just as much care went into this incredible statue of Amaterasu, sculpted by Kim Bangcola, one of the experts at First 4 Figures. Pre-orders are open now at a list price of $384.99 (USD), so if you’re interested, head over to the store page and lock yours in! More info on Amaterasu, Okami , and the statue itself after the jump!

Amaterasu, the Shinto goddess of the sun, has descended from the astral plane and taken on the form of Shiranui – the legendary white wolf – in order to combat evil in Okami . Quickly armed (pawed?) with the Celestial Brush – capable of restoring nature and balance – she soon joins forces with the traveling artist Issun, and the two begin a truly epic adventure across the land of Nippon to put an end to the machinations of the embodiment of evil, Orochi.

From the elemental markings on her fur to the flowers under her feet, this statue truly captures Amaterasu in all her glory. Standing on the plains of Nippon, Amaterasu is poised to howl, replete with little details that help this statue shine like the sun goddess in all her glory.

Speaking of shining like the sun (goddess), the exclusive edition offered by First 4 Figures adds LED lighting to the Solar Reflector, adding a warm glow that lights not only Amaterasu herself, but also little Issun, Amaterasu’s traveling partner, who’s perched on top of the disc itself. Everything comes together to create a dazzling sight that’s worthy of being the centerpiece of any collection.

At 1/4 scale, Amaterasu stands at 12 inches tall from the top of the Solar Reflector to the base, and 17 1/2 inches long, too, making this a formidable statue in its own right. It may not dispel evil like the legendary white wolf, but this powerful statue is sure to dispel bad moods and banish particularly dark nights. What’re you waiting for? Go check it out !

Ever wondered how the  Monster Hunter development team designs new monsters? Or why you can only hunt Monoblos in single player? Directors Kaname Fujioka and Yuya Tokuda go over those topics and many more in this exclusive interview.

Closing remarks: with 2015 wrapping up in just a few days, everyone seems to be cataloguing their favorite experiences.  Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate definitely takes the prize for  my  favorite game this year–obviously!–and this video is partly my way of celebrating the title.

I was incredibly fortunate to meet these legendary developers in person, but as I said in the last minute of the video, we wanted to extend this opportunity to all of you, the community that breathes life into this game. So ask your question in the comments and we’ll select a number of them to send to the team early next year. Just note that we are limited to sending them questions regarding MH4U or other titles released in the West.

I’m really looking forward to what kinds of questions you’ll come up with! Happy Hunting and happy Holidays!

EDIT : Just a small clarification. Since these two are game directors and designers, the type of questions they can answer are regarding what goes  in  the games; not which games are released where, when or on what platforms.

Have you ever had a dream where you were playing some of the best old-school Mega Man games from the Game Boy Advance, but on your new-school TV? Well dream no more, as the 2005 tag-team of Mega Man Zero 4 ($7.99 USD) and Mega Man Battle Network 5 – both Team ProtoMan and Team Colonel ($6.99 USD each) – are available starting today on Virtual Console for Wii U in North America!

Mega Man Zero 4 features a unique weather system that changes the way you progress through levels – while certain types of weather make levels harder, they also hold their own unique Reploid rewards for those who are up to the challenge. Building on the established running, gunning, and Z Saber swinging gameplay of its predecessors, MMZ4 offers some of the best platforming that the series has to offer.

Meanwhile, Mega Man Battle Network 5 pits MegaMan.EXE and Lan Hikari against the Internet – as in, the entire Internet – which has been taken over by a mysterious organization. It’s up to you, Lan, and a MegaMan(.EXE) to take it back! Oh, and maybe the help of ProtoMan.EXE or Colonel.EXE, too.

Best of all, these games are available right now for download through the Nintendo eShop on Wii U, and can be played on either your TV or Wii U game pad. Save a battle chip for me, will ya?

Hey everyone. I’m excited to announce that Street Fighter V will be officially supporting Steam OS! We are working closely with Valve on this endeavor, and will have more details to announce in the near future, so stay tuned for updates.

Street Fighter V will also support the Steam controller, and you’ll be able to try that out right away during the upcoming beta test that takes place from December 18~20.

See you all online!
