It’s been a bit quiet on the SFxT front of late – Capcom went through a period of unveiling a couple of new characters on a regular basis, until I guess they realised they were going to run out of characters before the game was going to be released. There were odd bits of information on the new gem system, but while I was excited for the game a couple of months ago, the hype had since died down and [...]
My love for fighting games was revived back in 2008 with the release of Street Fighter IV; the famous 2D fighting series was back, and I was loving it. Since then, I’ve been brushing up on my skills, and even though I’m not going to be as awesome as some of my friends it doesn’t mean that I’m unable to enjoy the overall gaming experience. After getting back into the Street Fighter series, I thought it would be a great [...]
This past weekend I had the opportunity to steal Leon’s PS3 for a few hours, and during that time I got to play hours or God Of War III as well as try out the new Mortal Kombat demo before the majority of Xbox 360 only gamers (such as myself) could. So, is the new MK game going to be a must-buy for any retro MK fan? Well, you’re about to find out. I don’t know about anyone else, but [...]
It wasn’t long ago that I listed Marvel vs Capcom 2 as one of my all-time favourite fighters - and with a decade of memories, it seemed unlikely we’d ever be seeing a sequel. However, that all changed suddenly, and we were greeted with an announcement that put fighting-game fans in excited uproar – Marvel vs Capcom 3 would be coming to consoles, and it wasn’t even that far off. After a few rounds of playing a build of the game at [...]
Over the past couple of years I have been getting seriously into fighting games. I have Street Fighter IV to thank for this; I know I’ve said this before, but it’s true. Granted, I dabbled with Soul Calibur and Tekken before then… but Street Fighter was the clincher for me. Back on the Sega Mega Drive though, I did have a brief stint with Mortal Kombat. My friend had it and I would spend hours round his house playing the [...]
You may remember sometime last week a post done by me highlighting the rumour about Capcom Vs Namco and visa versa. Well I am pleased to announce at Comic Con this weekend the rumour came true…well almost. Original Rumour: Capcom Vs Namco, a game putting various characters from the Capcom and Namco games and pitting them against each other. Much like Marvel Vs Capcom. There will be two games being made one by Capcom with the Street Fighter IV engine [...]
Now if you’ve been following my previous articles regarding Capcom’s latest (and most exciting) VS title, you’ll know that I’m excited to see the long-awaited Marvel vs Capcom 3 in the pipeline. Teasers released originally gave us a load of silhouettes amongst the few confirmed characters nudging us to who else would be occupying the roster in the new fighter. This week, along with all the E3 news, has given us a further look into what we can expect; with [...]
Over the last couple of months the Plus XP team have been giving you little snippets of Super Street Fighter IV info straight off the press. Now that all the new characters have been announced and confirmed. I thought it would be best to give you the low down on these new additions to the Super Street Fighter IV Roster. For those of you asking, ‘What is Super Street Fighter IV (SSFIV) offering us that the original Street Fighter IV [...]
