Capcom had a presence at E3, most notably revealing Monster Hunter World , but one of the company's biggest franchises, Resident Evil , wasn't given any love at the show.

The Resident Evil 2 remake has been in the works for a couple of years, so a trailer or something official seems like it could come any day, even though it skipped E3 this y

The best way to describe Fable 3 is an introduction to RPGs. The normal RPG fare of branching ability trees and leveling up is missing. In its place is an engaging, but simple, experience for those looking to dip their toe into the RPG world. Players don’t need to understand leveling to understand how to successfully play the game. They don’t need to dive deeply into a complex menu system in order to change out equipment so they’re geared correctly for a fi

Other Adventure Games Treasure Maps could have taken priority over the title during the past three years, but odds are that Pikmin 3 has jumped ship to the Wii 2 . Assuming that the game is as far in development as Miyamoto has claimed then it may be showcased at this year's E3 as a Project Cafe launch title. The revamped Pikmin would look beautiful on an HD console, not to mention that the number of Pikmin and monsters that could appear on-screen at once could be increased substantially. Pikmin could also appear on the 3DS, which wouldn't come as a surprise after Nintendo President Satoru Iwata stated that " Pikmin is perfect for 3
