 Capcom News At The TGS

 
 

CapcomOverall
Capcom Booth
  
Some companies were seen giving different items on press and public day, and Capcom was one of the good examples. While on press day a nice catalogue based on information was handed out, the catalogue on public day was really meant for the fans- it was a folded booklet which had game info, but could also be opened up for a wall-size poster of Dino Crisis.  
 
Dino Crisis is Capcom's upcoming Dinosaur horror game which features the fear of a colossal animal breaking through walls & etc. with brute strength, compared to the fear of popping out zombies in Resident Evil/BioHazard. Labeled as a "Panic horror" game, Dino Crisis is scheduled for release on the PSX for July. 
 
Capcom's lineup was in a handful for the DreamCast. In addition to the already released Power Stone, Street Fighter Zero 3 and Marvel vs Capcom were playable. 
 
 
SF3 3rd
While no new information was given on the arcade game "Street Fighter 3- 3rd stirke"  since this the TGS is a home console exhibition, thevideo clip from the AOU show was shown in rotation with other videos, expressing Capcom's seriousness to the game. 
 
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure (Jojo's Venture) for the Playstation was shown in a video clip presentation. The Stands were opaque, suggesting that either the video was actually that of an arcade machine, or Capcom decided not to use half-transparencies for the PSX version. 
  
 
 
Horror Dome
  
Not much new info was available for BioHazard: Code Veronica at Capcom's booth.  
BioHazard: Code Veronica is the sequel to BioHazard 2, and features BH2's Clair Redfield as the main character. While the game was not playable, a Horror Dome full of monitors showed clips of the game. BioHazard:Code Veronica takes place 3 months after the BH2 incident, as Clair gets jailed into a prison of a Southern Island on her search to the Umbrella Corporation in Europe. In BH:Veronica, enemies are not just zombies but also normal human beings who attack in hysteria. Thus enemies will be even tougher, for this time around some have brains and can be waiting to ambush the player, or possibly await with a trap. 
  
In a very interesting news abit different from game presentation, Capcom released news of a scheduled Street Fighter Zero/Alpha anime. Thus so far the ever popular Ryu, Ken, Sakura and Chun-li(SF2 classic Style) are scheduled to be in the anime. The plot seems to be centered on the secrets to  Gouki/Akuma's dark power, and a doctor related to him. Staffs from the anime "Berserk" and "Ghost in a Shell" areparticipating in the creation of this anime.
