While we’ve heard a bit about the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection so far, we haven’t actually seen much of what the game is going to look like when it is released with its HD upgrade as well as Trophy and Move support. Capcom hopes to alleviate that issue today as they have released a small amount of screenshots which can be seen below.

Those eager to play the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection when it is released better have some money on the PSN account because the title will only be released digitally and exclusively on the PlayStation 3.

Earlier today we learned that the PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken will be able to not only play online using 3G, but it will also be able to crossplay with PlayStation 3 users. Now Capcom has chosen to give us a little trailer featuring all of the new characters that will be featured on the PlayStation Vita version of the game.

You can see the trailer below, but you most likely have seen a lot of these characters before on hacked PS3/360 versions of the title thanks to the fact that they already exist on disc as “on-disc DLC”… lovely. Either way check it out below and see how these characters will look on Sony’s relatively new handheld gaming device.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Assassin’s Creed costume available now alongside free Serah outfit

There has been plenty of DLC released for Final Fantasy XIII-2 since it was released however all of this DLC would cost you at least a few dollars depending on what you wanted.

Those who enjoy battling in the Coliseum will be happy to know that PuPu and Gilgamesh have also entered the arena and can be fought against, though they will cost 160 MSP/$2 and 320 MSP/$4 respectively if you want to take them on.

Street Fighter X Tekken Vita version to contain cross-platform multiplayer with PS3

Those who are planning on picking up Street Fighter X Tekken no longer have any reason to be concerned with the amount of people that will be playing the game online. The reason for this is because Capcom just revealed that Street Fighter X Tekken will feature cross platform play between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

This means that players can use their Wi-Fi connections and even their 3G connections to play against other users who are on their PlayStation 3 consoles. This will creates a little kerfuffle however, because if Capcom offers easy to use attacks with the Vita’s touch controls then Vita owners will immediately be superior. We shall wait and see.
