As a result of there’s nothing players like higher than an inscrutable countdown, Capcom has kicked one off that is set to run for a complete week.What’s it resulting in? Apart from the inevitable server crash, there is no clear signal at this level—however there’s hypothesis.
The countdown web page signifies days and hours remaining in a big white font on a darkish, vaguely hazy background with a slowly pulsating mild emanating from the highest of the display screen. Nothing concerning the imagery stands out (though die-hard Capcom followers would possibly be capable of discern one thing acquainted within the font or coloration selection), and there aren’t any telltale hints to be discovered within the web page supply both.
The place does that depart us? As talked about above, with hypothesis, which I truly like much more than countdowns. Some folks suppose {that a} Road Fighter 6 announcement is within the offing, which appears cheap: The finals for the Road Fighter 5 event Capcom Professional Tour are set to conclude on February 20, which can also be when the countdown ends—though it’s going to bleed over into February 21 in a while zones. And it is about time for SF6 to occur. Road Fighter 5 is absolutely six years previous now, and Capcom has indicated beforehand that it is looking forward to “the future of Street Fighter.”
However there’s additionally the opportunity of a Resident Evil 4 remake, which followers proceed to carry out hope for (and which might appear to be a greater match with the general visible vibe of the countdown web site), or the Resident Evil Village DLC (a few of it, anyway) that was revealed final 12 months.
Extra outdoors bets seen on the Capcom subreddit embody information about Dragon’s Dogma 2, Pragmata, some Monster Hunter enterprise (though that hardly appears worthy of a countdown), or a rebirth of Deep Down, a PS4-exclusive recreation introduced in 2013 that is been trapped in improvement hell for years. I do not suppose any of these choices are very probably however the enjoyable factor about countdowns is, you simply by no means know till 10-Quarter-hour after the clock hits zero.
We’ll replace if Capcom drops any hints about what’s in retailer over the week—or what it seems to be when the countdown hits zero. (After the inevitable server crash, that’s.)
