In this interview he shared some insight on what it’s been like to work with members of the game’s original development team, some of the challenges the team encountered during the remaster process and why the team chose to use the  Resident Evil 5  version of Wesker for the new Wesker Mode you can unlock in the game. Hit the jump to check out the video!

As we near the end of 2015 there’s one thing we can all look forward to…no, it’s not the holidays, but Capcom Cup! That’s right; this year’s Capcom Cup will send Ultra Street Fighter IV off in the grandest event possible as 32 of the world’s best meet in San Francisco at the PlayStation Experience on December 6 ^th to fight for their piece of the $250,000 prize pool!

If you have been following the Capcom Pro Tour, then you know that players from around the world have been traveling from country to country, continent to continent, trying to secure their spot at Capcom Cup or gather enough points for one of the 15 spots available in the 32 man finals. Now that the dust is just about settled (with the last spot to be decided at Dreamhack Winter this November 26 ^th-29^th ) Capcom Cup 2015 is shaping up to be the greatest competitive Street Fighter tournament of the last decade!

For those of you wondering what the schedule, bracket format, and prize distribution for Capcom Cup is, allow me to provide that information below:

Payout

1^st :  $125,000

2^nd :  $60,000

3^rd :  $25,000

4^th :  $15,000

5^th/6^th : $10,000 (each)

7^th/8^th : $5,000 (each)

Schedule

• 10:00 AM – Opening Ceremony
• 10:30 AM – Round 1 and 2

The bracket will be double elimination, best two out of three matches up to top 16. From there, all matches will be best three out of five.

With 32 of the world’s best Street Fighter players all under one roof, we expect every single match to be beyond hype. That said, this year we’ll have two streams available for those of you watching from home so that you won’t miss any of the high profile matches going down! We recommend viewers tune into the Capcom Pro Tour  site for the ultimate experience as they will be able to follow both streams as well as the Capcom Cup brackets once the action goes live.

Tickets are still on sale at the PSX 2015 site , so if you can make it to San Francisco during that time be sure to come! Remember you’ll need to buy either the 2 day pass or the Sunday Only pass in order to watch Capcom Cup.

Needless to say, after this year’s extensive and challenging Capcom Pro Tour season, there will be no disputing that this year’s Capcom Cup champion is the best player in the world! Make sure to check back in closer to Capcom Cup as I’ll provide more information on what to expect when it’s time to watch the finals.

We already knew  Monster Hunter was a cultural phenomenon in Japan, but this is reaching a whole other level: the latest Toyota commercial features  MH music, monsters, license plates and even a very familiar setting!

Frankly, I never thought I’d see an official TV ad for a car to the tune of  Monster Hunter music – though I have driven to that sound before and it was super epic! 😉

Earlier this year, we introduced a whole new way of playing Resident Evil, by delivering an episodic experience filled with horror and suspense! Today, we want to offer you an enticing entry point by giving out Episode 1 for FREE on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4!

Starting today, you can begin this dramatic entry in the Resident Evil series for free, filling the shoes of fan favorites Claire Redfield and Barry Burton, as they try to survive an abandoned detention facility. After you finish Episode 1, you can continue your battle for survival by purchasing each subsequent episode individually… or you can get them all bundled together in this sweet deal:

Resident Evil Revelations 2 Deluxe Edition (Xbox One, PS3, PS4, PC)

This digital Deluxe Edition is available now and it features the following content:

• All main story Episodes (1 – 4)
• All Extra Episodes (1 – 2)
• All DLC (Costumes, Raid Mode characters, Maps, etc.)

If you buy all of these items individually, it will run you over $80… However, with the Deluxe Edition, you’ll get all of it for just $29.99 !

Also, if you have a Gold Xbox Live account and buy the digital Deluxe Edition on Xbox One before November 24th, you’ll get a 25% discount. And for the Xbox 360 players, we’re also offering a 40% discount on the Season Pass (until November 24th).

All in all, between Episode 1 being free and the digital Deluxe Edition offering some massive savings, I’d say it’s the perfect time to jump and try out RE Revelations 2, if you haven’t done so already.

Hey everyone, as you may all know, our goal with Street Fighter V is to make this the most accessible Street Fighter in recent years! To that effect, we’ve created a tutorial (opening shown above) which introduces the basics of Street Fighter as well as the new mechanics included in SFV. As you’ll see, this video also provides a glimpse into some of Ryu and Ken’s backstory. This is just a sample of things to come, so be on the lookout for more information down the road.

The 4 ^th installment of the Resident Evil 0 developer diary is now available for your viewing pleasure. This time around you will hear from more of the veteran staff members on what it was like working on the original title. They also go into what challenges the remake had and small details added to the remastered version of Resident Evil 0 that makes it a true remaster. Click the jump to watch the full video!

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.
