Capcom Reveals New Design for Super Street Fighter IV Boxart!

Posted by Feckis on March 31, 2010

Capcom has released images of the new boxart design for Super Street Fighter IV! Scroll down to check out the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 front cover shots.

Here’s the update Capcom gave along with the images, letting everyone know what exactly it was they changed:

The fans spoke, and we listened. Some loved the Super Street Fighter IV box art we released a couple of months ago, while some had “other” opinions. Well we listened and decided it could use some additional touches to warm those cold hearts. This time, there’s no turning back. Get Super!

Check out the final version of the SSFIV PS3 and Xbox 360 Boxarts. You’ll notice some “subtle” changes we made since we announced the previous version in January. Capcom listens to its fans, and although it’s not a full redesign, we felt it was “time to oil up” and give it some additional slickness and shine. We brought in color and texture to the background, swapped the placement of Juri and Chun-Li, and dropped out Cammy for the awesome Dudley. We did this because we know you guys love you some Dudley! But the other reason was that we now have three series represented with those three characters. Adon = Alpha / Dudley = 3rd Strike / Dee Jay = Super SFII. Add in SF’s leading man and woman, Ryu and Chun-Li from SFII, and Juri from Super SFIV, we almost have a full SF representation. What do you think?

The follow up to one of Metacritic’s highest-rated games of 2009, Super Street Fighter IV will hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on April 27 with 10 new characters, new Ultra combos, new stages, the return of Bonus Stages, and beefed-up online modes (including the free Tournament Mode DLC after launch) all for a low price of $39.99.

Dead to Rights: Retribution Gone Gold!

Posted by Feckis on March 29, 2010

Namco-Bandai Games has announced that Dead to Rights: Retribution has gone gold! Look for it in stores April 27th.

But if you get the chance to, be sure to pre-order it for some pretty nifty DLC content. Read on for all the details from Namco-Bandai.

Namco-Bandai Games announced today that Dead to Rights: Retribution has gone gold for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. A reimagining of the multi-million unit selling crime-action series, Dead to Rights: Retribution puts players in control of two playable characters, vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, as they fight to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy Grant City. Deadly on their own, Jack and Shadow are even more formidable as they team up in this no-holds-barred neo-noir journey.

Gameplay in Dead to Rights: Retribution is brutal and relentless, with a seamless combat system that allows players to fluidly transition between third-person shooting, hand-to-hand combat and AI partner control. Jack has a myriad of tools available to him that can be used in any combination, offering a wide variety of choice in how he can dispatch enemies in any combat situation. Players will also have the ability to play as a ferocious canine, Shadow. At various points in the story, the gameplay switches up as players take control of Shadow, interjecting a completely different style of combat than Jack’s. Shadow utilizes his heightened senses to stalk enemies with his stealth abilities and tears enemies apart with his visceral attacks.

Customers who pre-order the game at participating retailers will have special access to downloadable packs of extra content that expand the gameplay experience with the final retail game. The “Jack Pack” is available through EB Games Canada and GameStop in-store or online pre-order and features health boosting GAC (Grant City Anti-Crime) armor for Jack Slate and a guns-blazing “action mode” that has explosive rounds. The “Shadow Pack” is available for pre-orders at Amazon.com and includes stealth camouflage for Shadow as well as a “noir mode” that transforms graphics into a dramatic black, white and blood red color scheme. Additional post-launch DLC will also be available and details will be released in the coming weeks.
