‘Resident Evil’ developer Capcom wants PC to be its primary platform for games

Resident Evil could always use more neon-illuminated keyboards!

Capcom might be known for console games, but the publisher and developer want PC to be its primary platform, Nikkei  reported Friday and summarized in English by Bloomberg  reporter Takashi Mochizuki. Capcom’s President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto told Nikkei that the company intends to make this happen soon.

“[Tsujimoto] says the company wants to set PC as [the] main outlet for its game software,” said Mochizuki on Twitter. “By 2022 or 2023, Capcom hopes sales of games on consoles [and] PCs to be [equal].”

It’s not a surprising statement as Capcom has done simultaneous releases between PC and console versions of its games for some time now. A recent example is Resident Evil Village, which came out on PC the same day as its console counterparts. Similarly, Monster Hunter Rise, initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive, will come to PC next summer. That’s including the Sunbreaker expansion too!

Check out the slick trailer for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak for yourself below.

Though Monster Hunter: World’s massive success on PC is likely the motivating factor behind Tsujimoto’s statements — as the game sold exceptionally well on PC. Similarly, Resident Evil 2  did gangbusters on PC back when it came out. Until Capcom comes out and explicitly states why, however, all we can do is speculate.

Justin Wong proves he’s still the ‘Marvel vs. Capcom’ king by winning a $10k match

If you come at the king, you best not miss.

They say if you come at the king, you best not miss — which is precisely what Butra “Roundhouse” Soinak learned while facing off against Justin “Jwong” Wong  in Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

Soinak challenged Wong, the nine-time Evolution Champion, to what’s referred to as a “money match” where $10,000 was on the line. Both players put $5,000 of their own money on the line, and whoever got to 15 wins first took home the cash.

Well, despite some intense opening matches from Soinak, Wong went on to utterly dominate the challenger, Kotaku  reported Tuesday. By the time it was all over, Wong was up 15-5 rounds. He even went on a 9-round winning streak.

“It wasn’t even all that fun to watch,” Ian Walker, staff writer at Kotaku, said. “Wong, as he’s done for the last 20 years, simply bided his time in every game with his impeccable Storm movement, doing just enough to deplete [Soinak’s] life bars in small bursts and keep his own team safe from retaliation.”

Wong even had a little fun teasing Soinak afterwards.

Wong walking off with Soinak’s $5,000 isn’t all that surprising, though. While Soinak is a wildly talented player, Wong has won countless Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tournaments over the two decades that he’s played. 

Will they rematch? Wong is certainly ready for it.

You can check out the series of matches between Soinak and Wong here. However, you will have to subscribe to Soinak’s Twitch channel to see it.

Watch: Hilarious ‘Resident Evil 3’ mod adds ‘Among Us’ astronaut

You got Among Us in my Resident Evil.

Modding is a big part of PC gaming. Be it fan patches that fix bugs in games, helpful gameplay tweaks, or silly stuff like adding the astronauts from Among Us to Resident Evil 3; there’s something for — wait, hold up, what was that last one?

Yup, there’s a mod for that, too. A user named ShiroeSora over on Nexusmods created a mod replacing Resident Evil 3’s hulking Nemesis monster with the cute yet devious astronauts from Among Us. You might be asking yourself: why would someone do this? Well, because playing Among Us is downright terrifying once the finger-pointing with friend factor kicks in. It’s also hilarious!

Check out a clip of the little red astronaut rear-back in a furious rage with their flamethrower for yourself below.

What’s especially funny is the official Among Us twitter account even had a laugh over this mod.

It’s always great to see game developers embrace fun mods like this.
