Most of my prior experiences with Street Fighter have consisted of my older brothers pinning me to the corner of the screen with low kicks until I ragequit and cried, which has made the fighting game genre a bit of a blind spot for me in years since. (This was in sharp contrast to Sonic Frontiers, a game everyone had already decided they were going to hate before playing it, for whatever reason.)Īs someone who had desperately hoped “The Unannounced Capcom Demo” at Hot Geoff Summer would be the remake of Resident Evil 4, I approached Street Fighter 6 with some trepidation. This is partly because there were more stations for it than for anything else on the show floor, and partly because everyone I spoke to seemed to have already decided they were going to like Street Fighter 6before playing it, for whatever reason. The latest installment of Capcom’s venerable brawler was the belle of the ball at the two-day media demo event hosted by Geoff Keighley, with more than a few folks double-dipping to get more time with the game between appointments. Builds hype and lets you check to see if it runs well on your PC. Theyre really the only ones that still do them (at least in the AAA space), and I love it. The boys of Summer Game Fest have spoken, and they love Street Fighter 6. Xbox and PC (Steam) demo comes out on 26th April.
