Well you’re about to find out because Capcom is releasing Dead Rising 2: Off the Record to retail which is a full blown remake of Dead Rising 2 starring Frank West. The game promises new areas, new combos and a new save system. Yes, the camera does return. Kotaku has the details.
Street Fighter X Tekken First Confirmed Fighters
Street Fighter X Tekken might be the biggest fighting game of all time, at least until Tekken X Street Fighter. For the uninitiated, Street Fighter and Tekken will cross paths for the first time, Street Fighter X Tekken will be developed solely by Capcom without any involvement by Namco.
While, Tekken X Street Fight will be produced solely by Namco. It’s an interesting arrangement that promises to produce consistent results within each game. But who is going to be in it? We now know first official characters appearing in Street Fighter X Tekken: Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, Kazuya Mishima, Nina Williams, Abel, Bob, King, Marduk and Ken Masters.[IGN]
