Capcom: "Three huge announcements" next week

TGS bombshells apparently coming from the Japanese giant
Will the trade shows please end?! Tokyo Game Show picks up where Games Convention left off (which picked up where E3 left off etc) next week, with Japanese publishers said to be unleashing their big guns on the Makuhari Messe crowd.

Capcom in particular has been tipped for deployment of "three huge announcements," according to Australian site Game Player, which says it became savvy to the info at the recent Activate Asia 2007 conference in Cairns.

The site is apparently sworn to secrecy, but says the info has it "busting at the seams with excitement." Could this finally be the Dead Rising 2 news we've been waiting on, seemingly forever?

We've fired off a phone call to Capcom's UK op and unfortunately, it looks like they're all on holiday. We've left a message with their PR overlord and hopefully they'll get back to us before Wednesday.

You never know... next year is the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter so it'd be the obvious excuse to do another one.

or release another anniversary edition of street fighter 2 as always
maybe im being too cynical? Bah, they made me this way!

If none of these announcements are SFIV, they aren't huge announcements.

"Dame 20 years" I have been playing this game for almost 20 years. Know wonder I crushed that kid who said he was the best on street fighter in swindon.

Capcom gives us STREET FIGHTER IV that is all I want Xmas
unforgetable on 14 Sep '07
I thought that the HD remix of sf2 was for the 20th anniversary. I doubt we will ever get street fighter 4.

What would be cool, is if they did a proper resident evil game for the wii. Not a wii-make like 4 and not a light gun game, but a proper one. Wouldnt have to be a port of 5, i have my 360 for that, but maybe another off-shot one in the vain of code veronica but with 4's engine. Featuring Rebecca or say Barry as the playable character.

That's one of the things for the 20th but they said they would have a whole load of promotions and 'surprises' through the end of this year into next year.
theideal on 14 Sep '07
Monster Hunter for the 360? please?
shiftymorgan on 14 Sep '07
It just has to be a new Street Fighter game for one of the big three. Sticking in 2D would probably be fine due to the rise of retro games and downloadable Live and PSN titles.

And it would be the first fighting game in years to interest me if it is true.
deadmartyr on 14 Sep '07
Street Fighter IV
Dead Rising 2
Marvel vs Capcom 3

Please.
g2dat on 14 Sep '07
Please Dead Rising 2 for the PS3! Razz
EddyH7 on 14 Sep '07
Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2 and Dino Crisis 4 please!
gazza_be on 14 Sep '07
Street Fighter 4? Might as well wish for Shenmue 3 and Duke Nukem Forever while you're at it.
ledickolas on 14 Sep '07
Please Dead Rising 2 for the PS3! Razz

Evil or Very Mad and 360 please Very Happy

I'm with you there.
I'd be happier with a 'we've managed to squeeze Resi 5 onto the Wii so that'll see it too'.

But I'd trade it all for Street Fighter 4, as long as it came out alongside Shenmue 3 (which is my holy grail).

Note: I know Capcom have nothing to do with Shenmue - read the posts above.
_Marty_ on 14 Sep '07
My prediction;

Dead Rising 2 for 360 and PS3.
Lost Planet 2 for 360 and PC.
New Onimusha for 360 and PS3.

Even if it ain't Street Fighter 4, Third Strike on PSP and PSN would suffice....for a while.

Resident evil 2 Wii Make

the wii already has enough wii-makes no more Rolling Eyes
Something original please.
quain-chi on 14 Sep '07
Yeah, bring us Street Fighter IV...in glorious 2D with Disney-quality animations!

I really don't understand what's taking them so long. They've been milking the series from the very beginning, so why the heck did they stop after number 3? Why?!
Dinalfos on 14 Sep '07
Please be forgotten worlds 2 Smile or at least release the original on XBL.
Budly Moore on 14 Sep '07
Given the success of Resident Evil 4 for the Wii and the Wii's (surprising!) superior marketshare at least one of these announcements will be Wii-related imo.

Resident Evil Wii-make of 2 and 3..? Resident Evil 5 for the Wii..? Or maybe a new exclusive Resident Evil for the Wii..? Am hoping for all 3 but can't see it myself lololol Laughing

Bizarre comment the Wii has has more original titles on it than a lot of the consoles combined over the last decade.
