Here’s a trailer of Capcom’s upcoming slugfest Street Fighter IV - and as a bonus, there’s some footage of the recently announced SFIV anime tucked in there as well.

Hot damn if I don’t want this game RIGHT NOW. Never been a huge Street Fighter fan, but this has me totally drooling…

Capcom enlists Solid Snake to pen ‘Lost Planet’ script

Not Solid Snake the character, of course, but the man who lent his vocal chords to the notorious badass, David Hayter. Hayter has a sideline as a screenwriter, having recently authored the script for Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation. I figure if he can tackle that, he can certainly dress-up Capcom’s thinly-plotted arctic space-adventure.

I suspect that Lost Planet will make a better movie than it did a game. In true Capcom fashion, Lost Planet punishes you merely for playing it, with it’s constant heat-loss and subsequent character death. Granted, it’s not all that hard to stay warm as long as you’re killing stuff - but shouldn’t killing stuff be a reward in and of itself? Dead Rising suffered from the same problem, forcing you to hit numerous timed rendevous, some of which are necessary to complete the game.

I hope the movie doesn’t require the audience to hit the snack bar every 20 minutes to keep watching.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom in action

I know everybody’s all pumped-up for the impending release of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV, but the brawler I’d most love to play is Capcom’s other project, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Of course, as cool as it is, the general consensus is that TvC will never appear outside of Japan. Which makes Baby Jesus cry.

I hope Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion is tucked away in there somewhere. I’ve been wanting to beat his whiny ass to a pulp for about ten years now.
