The first Devil May Cry was a landmark action game, pushing the genre in innovative new ways when it released in 2001. It birthed a new generation of devoted fans. Given the drastic new direction Ninja Theory is embarking with DmC: Devil May Cry, it's no surprise that fans have been skeptical of, and sometimes vocally opposed to, the reboot.

Yet another Resident Evil game is set to hit the HD consoles, a new list of leaked achievements reveal. According to X3A.org, Resident Evil: Revelations is coming to Xbox 360.

Revelations originally released on 3DS last year, promising to combine the behind-the-shoulder gameplay of modern Resident Evil games with the more methodical pacing of classic entries in the franchise.

With a title like Remember Me, you'd think that Dontnod Entertainment's upcoming game is a mind-bending point-and-click adventure. But, no. It is about punching and kicking many men in the face.

For the Nintendo faithful, Wii U's launch offered fans the ability to play popular multiplatform HD games for the very first time ever. From Batman: Arkham City to Mass Effect 3, Wii U's initial library included a number of late ports for Nintendo fans to enjoy. One noteworthy omission from the lineup is Resident Evil 6, a game that Capcom says won't hit the platform because of the publisher's focus on avoiding late ports.

Whenever Capcom would mention the outsourced PC port of DmC: Devil May Cry, it would couch the release in vague terms of "shortly after" the console versions. That didn't exactly leave PC fans brimming with confidence that they'd be demon-hunting anytime soon.

Spark Unlimited hasn't had the best track record, having worked on the poorly-reviewed FPS games, Turning Point and Legendary. It was odd that Capcom would assign such a shaky developer on the Lost Planet franchise. But lo and behold, Lost Planet 3 proved to be one of the surprise hits of E3. Capcom producer Andrew Szymanski discussed how this surprising alliance formed, and admitted that even Capcom was skeptical of giving the game to the team at first.

Mega Man is having a pretty depressing 25th anniversary so far. After the cancellation of both Mega Man Legends 3 and Mega Man Universe last year, Capcom's classic mascot has all but disappeared.
