RE6 TGS Trailer: They're Coming...

Yesterday, we told you that based on early impressions and review scores, it seemed like the fans should give Resident Evil 6 a chance.

But if that's not enough to convince you (and you haven't yet played the demo), here's an intense new trailer straight from last week's Tokyo Game Show. There's no doubt that it'll get the blood moving; the cinematography and direction isn't too shabby at all.

Freaky games are always all about the atmosphere and style. If RE6 can nail down an environment that causes us to cringe and tense, then we should have a truly frightening experience. The gameplay is a whole different issue but we're hoping Capcom can come through in that capacity. In terms of drama - and remember that Capcom has dubbed RE6 "dramatic horror" - this game should have that in spades. Let's hope the rest comes together just as nicely.

Devil May Cry PC port outsourced, due after console versions

Want to run Devil May Cry at 60 frames per second on PC? You'll have to wait until after the console versions are released.

Capcom US producer Alex Jones told Eurogamer at the Tokyo Game Show today that the company is working hard to get the PC version ready to launch as soon after the console versions as possible. DmC launches on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 15th January 2013.

"I can't give you a day and date," he said. "What I can say we're endeavouring to get it out as shortly after the main game as possible so there's as little a gap between those two as we can reasonably get.

So what's the hold up? Jones confirmed to us that Ninja Theory is not making the PC version of Devil May Cry, and this means there are "logistical things involved".

The PC job has been outsourced to Polish QA, porting and localisation specialist QLOC, which has worked on the PC versions of a number of Capcom games, including Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition and Street Fighter x Tekken.

"Because it's being developed out of house by a different developer from Ninja Theory there are logistical things involved," Jones said. "But the plan is to get it out shortly after the ship date for the console version."

Unsure of QLOC? Capcom executives have been impressed by its previous work on Capcom titles, and Jones described it as "a pretty tight outfit".

Jones was unable to discuss PC-specific features but some fans hope to take advantage of more powerful hardware and crank up the frame rate. On console DmC runs at 30fps, in contrast to previous games in the series.

Yesterday Capcom released a new DmC trailer, below, that left some fans wondering whether Dante's posh, Fedora-wearing brother Virgil was a playable character. Jones confirmed this is not the case.

"I want to be definitive," he said. "He's not playable in the game. I don't want to be coy about that and have people think they're getting one thing when they're getting another."

Jones was more forthcoming on the role of Sparda, mentioned in the trailer. "The whole backdrop of Sparda is he's hired Virgil and Dante, so he's present in that regard. The history of his end is a big motivating part of the story. He's not an explicitly walking and talking character in the game."

Ninja Theory's DmC operates in a kind of parallel DmC universe, so is in many regards separate to the Capcom-made games in the series. "It's its own chronology," Jones said. "So what we've known of Sparda in the past doesn't necessarily hold. It maybe holds substantially. Maybe not. We're not allowed to talk about it right now. But you shouldn't assume it'll be a literal transference of what he was in this one. But it'll heavily leverage it."

The new trailer showcased a new weapon, too, the Gauntlets, which DmC fans will remember. This demon-aligned weapon is one of the heavier and slower in the game, and can be used to counter rushing enemies out of dash attacks.

In DmC certain moves or combinations or equipped weapons have higher impact effects on certain other enemies. Some enemies are vulnerable to a specific combo from a certain weapon. Other enemies are vulnerable to a certain weapon type, no matter the combo. And some are vulnerable to only one weapon until you do a certain thing that destroys a shield or some other protective device they have. The Gauntlets have a similar function, Jones explained, "where they will be the Kryptonite weapon to a couple of the enemies' either attacks or the enemies themselves".

LOST PLANET 3 ONE PLAYABLE MECH IN SINGLE PLAYER

Lost Planet 3: ‘only one playable mech in single-player campaign’ – Capcom

Lost Planet 3 publisher Capcom has revealed that players will only pilot one Rig mech in Spark Unlimited’s darker take on the franchise. So don’t expect to be piloting the same wide range of wacky contraptions that you used in Lost Planet 2.

Speaking with VG247, Lost Planet 3 Producer and Project Lead at Capcom Andrew Szymanski explained that because this is a more personal than previous Lost Planet games, giving Jim a single Rig in the campaign made sense.

“As the Lost Planet 3 mech – the Utility Rig – is designed as a piece of construction equipment, used to help build and maintain the colony,” Szymanski explained, “That’s exactly what Jim has been sent to the planet to do, and initially Jim – and the player – will be using it for that purpose.”

It won’t all be handiwork and maintenance however, as Szymanski discussed, “Soon after arriving, however, Jim and the player will need to improvise to use the tools on the Rig to fight attacking Akrid. One of the key features of Lost Planet 3 is the dichotomy between being out of the Rig – in which Jim uses standard firearms – and inside of it – where Jim must use its construction tools to defeat enemies in melee combat.”

“We like that this turns standard convention on its head,” Szymanski added, “Also, crushing giant insects with a massive drill never gets old.”

But giving Jim one single Rig throughout the single player campaign gives rise to upgrade trees and a sense of ownership over the vehicle. This means that players should feel more obliged to protect it, rather than the expendable Rigs found in Lost Planet 2.

Szymanski continued, “For the single-player campaign, Jim – and the player – will only be using one Rig. This is important as that Rig is Jim’s personal property and it factors in very heavily to the narrative. That is not to say that other mechs won’t appear piloted by other characters, however.”

“In terms of handling,” Szymanski added, “the Rig is deliberately designed to be a huge, lumbering, tough, durable piece of machinery that is built to take the harsh conditions of the planet and keep on going and thus its abilities, upgrades, and attachments all keep that in mind.”

“So far we’ve shown the Claw Arm on the left side of the Rig that can be upgraded with a Winch to allow the claw to be shot out like a projectile, as well as the Drill Arm on the right side of the Rig that is, of course, used to destroy chunks of ice as well as fight Akrid. There are many more upgrades and attachments to be discovered,” Szymanski concluded.

So there you go. While Lost Planet 3 will have just one single-player Rig, it will eventually grow into something badass. Let’s not forget multiplayer too.

Lost Planet 3 is out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.
