Exoprimal is a dumb video game — and I mean that in the most positive terms possible. It’s a bombastic dinosaur shooter that feels like it was the product of an eight-year-old boy explaining his idea for the most fun game he can think of. Thousands of raptors fall from portals in the sky. Katana-wielding robots chop down Tyrannosaurus Rexes. It’s loud and proud in its ridiculous blockbuster ambitions. It’s not entirely brainless, though. In fact, Exoprimal contains a handful of ideas so ingenious that I can’t believe…

Capcom’s latest release is all about you and four friends teaming up to mow down endless waves of dinosaurs while wearing powerful Exosuits. Being a multiplayer-only title, with no dedicated single-player mode to speak of, you’re going to be encouraged to party up with your friends rather than depend on the matchmaking systems most of the time. Recent years have seen a major push for multiplayer-focused games that release on all consoles, such as Exoprimal, to have full cross-platform support. However, does Exoprimal…

Capcom Capcom is known for making excellent single-player adventures, while its history with multiplayer shooters is much more spotty. Exoprimal changes that. Since the mid-2010s, games like Resident Evil 7, Devil May Cry V, Monster Hunter World, and Street Fighter 6 cemented Capcom as one of the best game publishers out there. Though one area where the company has always struggled is in the lucrative multiplayer shooter market. Titles like Resident Evil Re:Verse, Resident Evil Resistance, and…

The team behind the Evercade line of retro hardware is back with a cute new handheld. It’s called the Super Pocket, and it is downright tiny — it measures in at 78mm x 125mm x 25mm — and relatively cheap. It’ll cost you £49, $59, or €59 depending on region.At launch, the Super Pocket comes in two varieties. There’s a Capcom version with 12 built-in games (including Street Fighter II’ Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Final Fight, 1942, and Mega Man) and a Taito version with 17 games included (like Space Invaders, Elevator Action,…

The first three seasons will include Street Fighter 6 and Monster Hunter crossover collaborations Capcom hosted a showcase all about their highly anticipated upcoming sci-fi team-based shooter. During the event, Capcom revealed its roadmap for the first three seasons of Exoprimal that includes upcoming content over the next few months. Perhaps the most exciting reveal is two separate crossover events with popular Capcom titles: Street Fighter 6 and Monster Hunter. Image via Capcom/YouTube Months of content is…

Image: Blumhouse ProductionsWithin the last decade, Blumhouse has been a key figure in helping horror movies become a bigger part of mainstream pop culture. With classic franchises like Halloween and The Exorcist under its belt alongside its own originals such as The Purge and M3GAN, the production company continues to expand. One of its next big projects is an adaptation of Scott Cawthorn’s popular video game series Five Nights at Freddy’s, and if Jason Blum has his way, it won’t be the only game that Blumhouse…

A remake of Code Veronica, anyone? Just a few weeks ago, Capcom asked if fans would like more Resident Evil remakes. The survey’s over now, but it seems the studio is wondering whether it should continue bringing back older entries in its iconic survival horror series. It’s a pretty lucrative venture, after all. Taking that a tiny step further, a recent general shareholder meeting with Capcom shows that there may be some spinoff remakes being considered. In the summary document (as spotted by GamesRadar), a question is…

Capcom has neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of a Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake, saying that the publisher is in the midst of “discussions regarding the future expansion of the series”. GamesRadar first reported the find from a Q&A session after a general shareholder meeting that was held today (July 6). In it, a shareholder queried if Capcom is considering “providing high-end visual remakes of only the main numbered entries in the Resident Evil series”. Capcom replied that it’s “carrying out…

July is here and the month brings a healthy roster of new game releases. While it is not as games-heavy as June was, with big titles like Final Fantasy XVI and Diablo IV releasing last month, July still promises a few distinct titles. Perhaps the most awaited of them all is Pikmin 4, the fourth mainline title in Nintendo's beloved real-time strategy series. Releasing a decade after 2013's Pikmin 3, Pikmin 4 will bring a host of new features while retaining its core gameplay, where players get to control a horde of tiny…

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is the kind of game that’s always mystified me. Despite owning a Nintendo DS and being pretty tuned into the industry when it launched in North America in 2011, the game entirely slipped under my radar. I wouldn’t learn about Ghost Trick until many years later when I found it ranked surprisingly high on a “top 250” games of all time list determined by user scores. How in the world had something like that completely slipped under my radar, and more importantly, what the heck is it? Ghost…
