Resident Evil 6 is preparing for its March 22 release on PC, and you may want to do the same. You can now use a benchmark test to make sure your PC is up to the task of running the game, just in case the system specs weren't enough information for you.

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono took the stage during Sony's PlayStation 4 event in New York to unveil a new engine codenamed Panta Rei, a next-gen extension of the company's existing MT Framework tech. The first game revealed is a new IP with the working title of Deep Down.
DmC: Devil May Cry's "Vergil's Downfall" downloadable content is coming March 5, Capcom has announced. The DLC lets you play as Dante's twin brother, Vergil, in his own campaign that includes new weapons, combos, enemies, and locations. It also carries its own story, and judging by the title we're guessing things don't turn out so well for Dante's kin.
Capcom never finished its first crack at making Resident Evil 2, getting an early version of the game together but then scrapping it. Parts and ideas did make it into the finished RE2, but the project later dubbed 'Resident Evil 1.5' never saw the light of day. However, industrious fans somehow ended up getting hold of the source code and began fixing it up, and have now released an early version.

Just in time for the release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, PlayStation Plus members will be able to enjoy one of Platinum's best games. Vanquish is a shoot 'em up that has you sliding into and over cover, as you fight ridiculous robots with even-more-ridiculous moves.
Free-to-play FPS Dust 514 is offering a free bonus to Plus members as well. The "Starter Pack" will include consumables to use in CCP's online shooter, and is a $9.99 value.
With love in the air and catgirls on its mind, Capcom today announced that revamp double-pack Darkstalkers Resurrection will arrive for download in March, hitting PlayStation 3 on the 12th and Xbox Live Arcade on the 13th. Bringing jazzed-up versions of the original Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3, it'll cost $15.
Resident Evil has fallen on hard times. After Resident Evily 6 garnered mixed reviews and poor sales, Capcom was left searching for answers. Whether it was the mass-market appeal or Resident Evil overload, the company seems to have decided on at least one fix: make the experience more focused.

DmC: Devil May Cry's promised Bloody Palace mode is coming next week, Capcom has announced.

Funny places, dungeons. With bags of magic and ancient artifacts strewn around the place, strange things can happen to whatever's living there. The finest product of this peculiar evolutionary environment is monsters which lurk in wooden chests, just waiting for greedy adventurers to stroll past, and a new trailer shows you'll find those in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Yes, yes, giants and sirens and leeches and big skellingtons and whatnot too, but chest monsters.
With five million copies shipped so far, Resident Evil 6 is by no means a failure for Capcom. However, it has repeatedly been called a disappointment by the publisher, who expected the game to ship upwards of seven million units. What could account for such a sharp decline from its initially projected sales?
"We are currently analyzing the causes, which involve our internal development operations and sales operations. We have not yet reached a clear conclusion," Capcom told investors.
Capcom has a long history in the industry, and in its heyday was known for its variety of arcade machines. It only makes sense, then, that to celebrate the company's 30th birthday, it's banking on that legacy with the Capcom Arcade Cabinet. The collection of arcade games is set to start releasing later this month, and will include a total of 15 games in all. Two bonus titles available for those who purchase them all.
When Resident Evil 6 shambles onto PCs on March 22, it will pack an extra punch. We knew it would be getting the "No Hope" campaign difficulty out of the box, but today Capcom announced that it will also tick up the toughness meter on the Mercenaries mode.
Capcom casually announced a Dragon's Dogma expansion named Dark Arisen back in September, but didn't have much to say about it. Now it's piped up to reveal Dark Arisen is an expanded version of the original game, packing a "huge" new area with gobs of new enemies, along with new skills, items, and more.
Look, we really liked DmC: Devil May Cry. But if the only thing holding you back from playing Ninja Theory's reboot is Dante's new look, then perhaps this DLC will make you reconsider.
A new costume pack will be available as DLC for PS3 and Xbox 360 on January 29th. Included in the add-on are three costumes: "Classic," taken from Devil May Cry 3, "Dark," and "Neo." You'll have to shell out $4 (320 Microsoft Points) for this bundle.
As expected, Capcom's Resident Evil: Revelations is moving from 3DS to more powerful platforms. The interquel is coming to PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U on May 21, for $49.99. Digital versions will be available on PC and PS3 on launch day, while digital versions for Wii U and Xbox 360 will follow afterward.
