Capcom Plans To "Reaffirm
Their Presence" in The Fighting Genre in 2014
|
|
|
In an interview with 4Gamer,
Capcom's Kazunori Sugiura declared that the company plans on "reaffirming
their presence" in the fighting genre next year. Whether Sugiura-san is
referring to Ultra SF4 or a brand new title is unknown. Sugiura-san added
that there are many "unannounced games" that will surprise fans in
2014. Will we see Darkstalkers 4 in 2014? New HD Online remakes? Or
possibly something entirely new? We'll see in 2014!

Maximilian sat down with
Double Helix's Michael "Berserker Mike" Willette to talk about Dojo
Mode in the new Killer Instinct. Dojo Mode acts as a Training / Tutorial
mode in the game and helps new players gain a better understanding of Killer
Instinct's mechanics. In addition to the video,
also check out a screenshot of Orchid from Microsoft's recent KI stream.

Namco Trademarks Soul
Calibur: Unbreakable Soul
|
|
|
Currently, Namco is
developing the single player title, Soul Calibur: Lost Swords for PS3, as
well as Soul
Calibur II: HD Online for PS3 and 360. Today, Siliconera
spotted a trademark
for what seems to be yet another new title, called Soul Calibur: Unbreakable
Soul. The trademark for SC: Lost Souls was filed in July and
officially announced in September of this year. So perhaps in a few months,
we'll hear more about SC: Unbreakable Soul. Stay tuned!

GGXX:
AC+R Patch Still Coming in 2013, Says Aksys
|
|
|
This isn't really
"news"... but it's a slow news week (and some other websites seem to
think that this is news)? 
So, Arc System Works USA announced on Facebook
that the long-awaited patch to update GGXX: AC+ to GGXX:AC+R is still
coming in 2013 for North America (as they've stated previously). The +R
update is currently available for the PS Vita and Japanese PSN versions. Still,
no official dates have been given for the PS3 & 360 versions.
