You can view this stream [HERE] if you wish, but all their major content reveals will be contained in this blog unless a surprise interview reveals something not covered in the trailers and gameplay.
First up, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition is now available on Xbox Live Arcade, and will be available over Playstation Network within the next couple of days.
As is usual for the Street Fighter series, this is essentially a few extra characters, costumes, and gameplay modes for the avid Street Fighter fan.
Resident Evil: Revelations is the next major storyline installment for the Resi series, released exclusively for the 3DS.
The game is set in 2005, so before the events of Resident Evil 5, and follows Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield during a mission for the B.S.A.A. Chris is missing, and Jill has gone to try and track him down.
The games introduces Parker and Juliette, two new B.S.A.A characters, and quite possibly a new set of villains (though Hunk seemed to have featured previously, so hopefully we'll learn more about him).
No official release date for Revelations yet, but with Mercs 3D coming out within the next month or so, you'll be able to get your hands on a demo of Revelations upon purchase (or rental) of the multiplayer title.
To give you an idea of gameplay, here's some footage:
Next up comes Street Fighter X Tekken:
What more is there to say? It's a crossover title between Street Fighter and Tekken, and dependant upon which platform you get it on there'll be a few exclusive character unlocks.
At Sony's conference last night, it was revealed that SFXT will be available on Playstation Vita, and will have Cole (the lead character of inFamous) as a playable character.
We finally get to see how DMC is going to play, and would you bloody look at that...he gets his white hair, red coat, and dual wielded pistols out.
Somewhat allaying the fears of many fans, I assume, with this trailer, Ninja Theory are still erring on the edge of open hostility by not revealing too much about how, or if, this game will fit into the series so far.
It seems clear that this is an origins story of some form, but will it capture the same combat feeling and atmosphere of the previous titles?
Needless to say, it looks like a good game, well made and well designed, but whether it'll be a good Devil May Cry is up to the fanbase.
Asura's Wrath looks busy, and angry, and loud.
This is essentially a combination of, by the looks of it, the original Devil May Cry games and God of War, but with an asian theme instead of a Western theme.
It seems over the top, filled with action, and completely outrageous in storyline and theme...so what's not to love?
As long as the controls and tight and the action is fluid, this game should be a good one. We'll leave the storyline for the players to decide upon.
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition.
These names are getting longer, I swear. It's an old joke, I know, but it starts to become unfunny when you realise the truth in it all.
Filled with hundreds of unlockables, this HD-remastering of Street Fighter 3 is what everyone has come to expect of Capcom's Street Fighter series. If you don't like Street Fighter, you won't like this. If you do, you probably will. Simple really.
Three Resident Evil games in one show? I'm going all weak at the knees.
Resident Evil - Operation: Raccoon City is the first Resident Evil game, that is coming out on a main console, that isn't made by Capcom.
Being developed by Slant Six, we get to follow the actions of an Umbrella hit-squad during the events of the Raccoon City Outbreak (covered previously in RE2, RE3, and RE: Outbreak 1 & 2). Their task? To hunt down surviving R.P.D officers.
Yes, that includes Leon.
The game is shaping up to be a fantastic return to form for the Resident Evil series, but will players be ok with playing as the bad guys? And, more importantly, will it be possible to
This was a big surprise reveal at Captivate this year, and the game keeps looking better and better as we go along.
Some say it looks like a Western version of Monster Hunter, others think it takes inspiration from Breath of Fire, and even more are wondering if it can compete with Skyrim.
What do you guys think?
If you ask me, this game looks brilliant and well worth the investment. Taking inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus with the ability to climb all over the big monsters, and taking the action and customisation from Monster Hunter and a pinch from other western RPGs, this game looks set to give an interesting new take on the fantasy epic.
Finishing off with classic Capcom form, we get the hilarity and awesomeness of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
This is an alternate universe 'What If?' take on the evnts of Dead Rising 2.
Frank West, hero of the very first game, is asked what he would've done had he been in Fortune City at the time of the outbreak. His response? Off the Record.
This isn't just a rehash of the DR2 events, this is an entirely new game. With Frank in the mix, characters are going to react differently...and the storyline is going to go into new territory.
I, for one, can't wait to go to Uranus Zone and have some fun.
Biggest highlight?
I'm surprised, more and more, of just how good Revelations looks for a 3DS game, and the storyline seems to be taking us back to more traditional Resident Evil settings.
Operation: Raccoon City is doing the same, but giving us a much darker angle which is great.
Off the Record and Dragon's Dogma are surprise hits for me, having come out of nowhere and really hyped me up.
DMC has piqued my interest now that Dante doesn't seem to be so much of a whiny little teenager, and it was nice to see him transform into the Dante we recognise from older games.
And finally Asura's Wrath...a game that confuses yet interests me at the same time.
What about you guys?
