Capcom has just announced the “Definitive Update” for Street Fighter V. The free (and possibly final) update will release on March 29, and it contains some significant changes to game balance. Included in the update are new pixel and cel-shading filters, among other interesting additions. The cel-shaded filter is reminiscent of the art style used in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, while the pixel filter opts for a more retro feel. These new filters should provide some appreciated fresh looks, however, they will only be accessible in offline modes.
Capcom is also giving players more customization options. Characters will be able to don new tracksuits with eight color variations. Finally, Cap-Jam remixes will add new takes on the Season 5 characters’ theme songs. This means that “Rose’s Theme,” and “Akira’s theme” will have new remixes to enjoy, just to name a few. Street Fighter fans have a lot to look forward to

Bad news for fans of EA's classic space-horror game Dead Space, as a new report claims that the upcoming remake has been pushed back to 2023. EA is reportedly targeting an early 2023 release for its sci-fi survival-horror game, giving developer EA Motive extra time to make certain that the final product is polished and still capable of scaring your pants off. Or at least giving you a reason to change them.
According to a VentureBeat report, the game continues to impress people internally, and EA Motive aims to deliver a remake that is on par with Capcom's well-received Resident Evil remakes. To reach that level of quality will take time, hence the alleged delay. We have reached out to EA for comment and will update this post as soon as we hear back.
If a shifted release date is going to be publicly announced, it may be done in today's Dead Space livestream. EA Motive says this new look at Dead Space will offer an "early look at development and what goes into the remake of a game" and is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 11, 2022 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.
Originally developed by Visceral Games back in 2008, Dead Space was a big hit for EA and helped reinvigorate the horror genre in games. Two sequels and several spin-offs followed in its wake before the series went into hiatus until the remake was announced last year.
EA Motive, the same team behind Star Wars: Squadrons and Battlefront II's story campaign, aims to reinvigorate the franchise with the remake, which will be running on the Frostbite engine. The Dead Space remake will also add "improvements to gameplay, while staying true to the original" so that it can be approachable for both new and returning players.
Another State of Play has come and gone, but what did you think of Sony's latest attempt? This broadcast was primarily focused on Japanese-published titles, and there was quite a lot to see — even if most of it boiled down to updates for games that have already been announced, like Ghostwire Tokyo and the recently delayed Forspoken.
But there were definite highlights. Capcom's ridiculous new property, Exoprimal, started the show in, er, quite some style, and that Returnal update was a lovely surprise. Were they enough to justify a State of Play broadcast, though? That's for you to decide.
