Everything Revealed At The Capcom Showcase
Ali Hasan June 15, 2022
The Capcom showcase returned as part of the Summer Game Fest and brought updates to existing titles as well as some exciting new announcements. The show was small; clocking in at around 30 minutes and mainly focused on Resident Evil titles.
From details on the Resident Evil 4 Remake to new information on Street Fighter 6, we got a pretty good glimpse of Capcoms lineup for the next several months on PS5, Xbox Series X & S, and PC as well as previous generation consoles.
Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Arrive On Current Generation Consoles
Although the reveal itself wasn’t really a surprise, we did get some new details on what exactly these new versions will entail.
All three games get a new 120fps mode along with a 60 FPS mode which has Ray Tracing enabled. Additionally, the games see improved loading times and texture details along with better shadow resolution. On PS5 the titles also take advantage of the DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 are now available on Xbox Series X & S and PS5. Existing owners of the games can upgrade at no extra cost.
Resident Evil 4 Remake – New Details
First revealed during PlayStation’s State of Play event, the Resident Evil 4 remake got a brand-new gameplay trailer along with new details.
It was confirmed that RE4 Remake will have the option to aim while moving (something missing from the original) to help bring it in line with other Resident Evil remakes. Furthermore, the main enemies of the game, the Ganado have been completely redesigned.
The game will have “modern flourishes” and a new darker art style but will retain the heart and soul of the Original. Resident Evil 4 Remake arrives next year on PS5, Xbox Series X & S, and PC.

Exoprimal is an upcoming co-op dinosaur hunting game it received a brand-new gameplay trailer and the announcement of a closed network test later this year.
The trailer gave us our first look at the dinosaurs we’ll fight along with how PvPvE will work. Exoprimal launches next year on PS5, Xbox Series X & S, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Street Fighter 6 and Dragons Dogma 2
Although neither of these games received any official updates in the showcase, they were present. Street Fighter 6 is set to receive at least one more reveal before the year ends while Dragons Dogma has a special 10th-anniversary stream scheduled for tomorrow.
