Suikoden fans are a real patient bunch. Decades of silence around the well-beloved RPG was broken last year when remasters of Suikoden 1 and 2 were announced at Tokyo Games Show, due to release sometime this year. Well, they were supposed to. It's time to put that patience to use once more, because the wait is going to be a little longer than originally planned.
Street Fighter 6 Devs Talk Accessibility, Modern Controls, and DLC Characters
11.08.2023 - 16:27 / pcmag.com
By all accounts, Street Fighter 6 is a hit fighting game that's received overwhelming praise from critics and players alike, selling more than two million copies since June 2, 2023. It headlined the Evolution Championship Series. It's a staple on Twitch and other streaming platforms. So, when I had the chance to chat with members of the game's development team at Evo 2023 during Sunday Finals, I leaped at the opportunity.
Below is my brief chat with Capcom's Takayuki Nakayama and Shuhei Matsumoto, director and producer of Street Fighter 6, respectively. It's translated from Japanese to English, and lightly edited for clarity. The interview was conducted before Capcom revealed A.K.I. as a new DLC character.
PCMag: Rashid is the new DLC character. What is the process of determining characters that appear in the default roster vs. DLC?
Capcom: In the case of Rashid, he was obviously a very popular character in Street Fighter V. We didn't have any other characters from the Middle East, so that's some representation that we wanted to include. But in terms of how we determine post-launch characters, it's based on what we currently see in the original lineup. For example, do we have global characters? We also try to maintain a healthy balance between male versus female characters, and try to have a variety of different fighting styles. So, all these things are taken into consideration to determine who the next character should be in the lineup.
Will DLC characters appear in the World Tour mode?
Yeah, definitely. All DLC characters.
World Tour mode was such a love letter to Final Fight . Will Cody, Haggar, or any of those characters appear as DLC characters?
We can't really say anything about future characters beyond what we've already announced right now. So we'll have to wait and see.
Characters are created with certain play styles in mind, but do you see people using them in unexpected ways?
It's only really been two months since the release of the game, so we're not seeing too many unexpected ways that players are utilizing certain characters. But as time goes on and more and more people get hands-on with it, we're expecting some surprises here and there in terms of new combo routes.
One of the most inspiring and heartwarming moments from this year's Evo was seeing BlindWarriorSven win his pool match vs. EternalPancake. Could you explain how Street Fighter 6's accessibility features help blind people play?
First, we identified the information that was important and relevant to blind players, whether that's the distance from yourself to the opponent, the height of the attack, low remaining health, or the length of the Super Arts gauge. Then we worked with our sound team to provide audio cues to

Japanese Snack Brand Koikeya Celebrates FFXIV's Ten Year Anniversary - Hardcore Gamer
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a decade since Final Fantasy XIV launched and grew to become one of the most successful MMOs of all time. For those of us around in the early days, it’s no secret the game was in rough shape. So much so, that developers basically nuked the 1.0 product and spun the “great reset” as an important piece of lore instead. Now, Final Fantasy XIV has made amazing strides in gameplay, story and overall aesthetics while continuing to respond positively to player feedback along the way. The title is so celebrated around the world that even brands outside the gaming industry are excited to represent an important anniversary in the game’s history.
