Capcom Captivate: The Essentials

There's been a storm of news, screens and videos hitting from this year's Capcom Captivate event, where the Japanese giant showcases some of the biggest titles due for the year head. It can be a littler overwhelming, so we've rounded up everything you need to know in one place.

Are you ready?

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Not the newest announcement on the block, but when a company decides to retro-fit a new storyline into one of its all-time classic games, people are understandably intrigued.

Then, when Capcom suggest it's going to do away with one of Resident Evil's most beloved characters, intrigue turns to horror. That the deed is to be done in what looks to be a Call of Duty-style squad shooter, that horror turns to confusion.

Confusion...and interest. Admit it - you've just swung back to intrigued once more. Wrap your eyes on this and tell us you're not at least curious.

Because if you do, you're a liar.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

Frank West is back, and no longer consigned to either a DLC or support role.

However, this isn't Dead Rising 3, but a Director's Cut version of DR2, hoofing leather-clad macho man Chuck Greene to one side and sliding in the war reporter in an alternate take to the events that occurred in Fortune City. Hey, it worked in Resident Evil, maybe it'll work here.

Asura's Wrath

When the first trailer came out for this game, we had no idea what the hell was going on, but we knew we wanted in on the action. One man blocking a planet-sized god from punching him in the face was either the best thing since Neo dodged bullets in the Matrix, or the greatest game of Paper Rock Scissors we've ever witnessed.

The new trailer still leaves us with a slightly mystified look upon our faces, but we can't deny whatever the hell it is, it looks tastier than Angelina Jolie's underwear and we want a piece.

Dragon's Dogma

Capcom announced its newest monster battling epic, a cinematic actioner that takes its cues from Lord of the Rings and Narnia.

Not your thing we hear you cry? Well, you should note that according to the development team, this new title has more manpower behind it than any other game being developed at the company currently. How big could Dragon's Dogma be? Why, this big.

Street Fighter X Tekken

You can't contain Capcom's newest brawler to one cast of fighting legends, so how'd you expect us to keep everything Ono-san and his team have to offer from spilling out of a single preview?

As the developer talks the first roster reveals and how the Tekken fighting system will bleed into the classic Street Fighter setup to create a true amalgamation of fighting's finest, Capcom unleashes multiple gameplay trailers to make your eyes bleed and your kidneys bruise. Get the talk with screens here, and all the action right here.

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition

Another return of the World Warriors in IV form with the much-rumoured four-set of characters being bundled together for a console release.

Good news is that you won't have to shell out for a new game, as Capcom release Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun & Yang onto the digital dojo, and offer a free update to pre-existing owners so fighters can join in the online battle arena no matter which version of the game they have.
