From Dead Rising 2: Off The Record To Asura’s Wrath, A Capcom Blow-Out

Two new Resident Evils. A big new dragon game. The next Street Fighter twist. A Dead Rising remake. And one Hindu-inspired epic with an amazing boss battle.

Those were the big games of Captivate 2011, a showcase recently held in Miami for many of the biggest Capcom games coming out in the next year.

I went to Captivate 2011, and over the next few days will be sharing as much as I can with you about all these games: from screenshots and trailers to developer interviews and hands-on impressions, plus a surprise story or two (one will involve a real life shark – promise!).

This round-up of Captivate coverage will be updated throughout the week. For now, here’s our first day of coverage:
