Street Fighter and Resident Evil invade PlayStation Home

by Andrew Yoon on Feb 3rd 2009 12:33AM

Capcom plans on supporting PlayStation Home in a big way. Famitsu has revealed brand new Home content based on Capcom's upcoming games, Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5. SFIV will receive a post-release patch that will allow players to meet in Home and then jump directly into a Street Fighter match.

In addition to game launching, Capcom will sell costumes to wear in the Home world. This isn't the first time Capcom has released Street Fighter costume DLC on a PlayStation system -- LittleBigPlanet also features a handful of premium costumes for purchase.

Capcom is also developing a Resident Evil 5 game space, which looks remarkably like the game's opening level. Here, players will be able to congregate and participate in various RE-themed events. We're not sure if those events will involve eating other Home users alive, but we hope so.

[Thanks, Copland!]

I really want Home now. I mean....REALLY want.

If you REALLY want it, then go download it,

No PS3.

Sweet, good to see some support

I only turn Home on for a few minutes when somethin' new drops.

I'm the same way... After all why waste valuable times in front of the ps3 not playing a game or watching a bluray???

With little to no fanfare over Home since its (so-called) release in late December it's good to see something new. I haven't bothered logging in since the new Red Bull area and didn't really plan on getting back in until the new EA space launched but the RE5 space looks like fun.

Still wondering where the Killzone 2 area is. Maybe they'll reveal more later this month. You would think they'd want to milk the game's release for everything they had and would already have a KZ2 space in play right now.

My fantasies of dressing up as Chun Li and sitting down on the floor in front of a guy sitting on a raised platform and nodding are closer to being realized

Uh...what?

And then turning into E. Honda when they have me surrounded.

IT'S A TRAP!

"It's a Quincy!" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

It's unfortunate you can't run around GTA style in Home. It would have been interesting to pick fights with other themed SFIV characters, only to be warped into the game to actually fight.

It would have been fun to be in the RE5 themed space and shoot at zombie bots with someone...then maybe warped into the game for some co-op.

Instead it seems to be more to the effect of:
Sony: Look at this!
Consumer: Cool...now what.
Sony: Well...keep looking at the coolness! It's awesome!
Consumer...I don't get it.
Sony: Why not? LOOOOOK at i..
Consumer: I'm out.

Aside from jumping into a SFII game like that, I still think in general it would kick ass if people could settle their fights with each other in Home. Then the camera would pan in for each player and a voice would go "FIGHT-O!" *cue Mortal-Kombat-type music*

*insert joke about Home having better controls than RE5 here*

Any word on if these will require a 5GB install too?

Yes, it will; unless you continue to bitch on the internet some more.

Ken looks awful...

Ken and Ryu both look awful...thin and weak.

Well they are standing around like chumps, why no combat stances?
Now I know what Street Fighter characters look like when waiting for the bus. ;)

Like the zombies in RE5, Home is dead to me.

I know that was horrible... But it needed to be said.

No, it really didn't

Why? You don't enjoy quincying other people supakoopa? Because I do.

I want those decorative toys

as do i. if they're over $1 for both, i'm not in though.

why is this on joystiq main page? should stay on ps section.. but oh wait joystiq loves to start flame wars now! but anyways looks sweet cant wait to try it out!

leave joystig ALONE!!!!

joystig? you mean joystiq's distant cousin who loves to drink and do coke? yea we should leave "joystig" alone.

you know what i meant

JOYSTIQ

lol yea i was just being sarcastic

Some say he finished the fight before it even started and that he has completed The Sim's....all we know is he's The Stig's gamer cousin .. Joystig!!

So you get to stand in a different room wearing different clothes now?

FUCKYEAR

if you dont like it, dont use it, Its still going to be there without you.

I won't use it, nor will I ever use the comment section to post my opinion again.

It's meant to be used for bullet pointed facts right?

(The comment you replied to was a joke, sorry to of offended you somehow)

"sorry to of offended you" ? You're getting a downvote just for that.

have*

I was thinking about correcting myself but it seemed anal.

There's something really sad about some of the most iconic outfits in videogames being worn by those emotionless mannequins. That picture is messing with my head.

you mean like most american cosplayers?

http://morbidoptimism.com/images/amAyanami.jpg

yup, head fucking alright

Check out that gunt!

That's just...sad. Just b/c you can do it, doesn't mean you should...

With the SFIV game launch. People will be going around picking fights :D . This may be really fun in home.

Nothing will ever be fun in Home

I definitely did not see this one coming.

Looks good. What's the ETA, 2012?

yo i dont understand is home out yet? cuz i gotz the beta but i cant seem to find an actual game?

ive been on home once and that was when i got my PS3 and this wont make me go back to it

first killzone 2 costume and now this. i love you capcom. i will be playing super street fighter 2 turbo HD remix till SSF4.

Capcom don't care if you keep playing it. Once you've paid your money for it, they forget you exist, until it's time to take your money again.

There is a slight Issue with Frame rate Playing the Demo on PS3 but it is promised to be fixed in the Final Version

Resident Evil 5 Mandatory Install is not a Child's Play, The Reason Behind it is to enhance the Speed then Graphics

...

Gotta love those lifeless, static stand poses.
