It was revealed a couple of days ago that one of Capcom's bombshells is actually the return of Bionic Commando on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. We say "one" because it was announced today by the legendary video game development studio that more are dropping in this week.

"You saw one announcement today... You will see another announcement at the countdown timer on Wednesday. You'll see a slew of other announcements/updates after the media embargo lifts on Thursday, Friday or so", promised Capcom's Director of Strategic Planning and Research Christian Svensson.

Aside from major graphical overhaul, the next-gen Bionic Commando will also feature a lot of gameplay mechanic revamps and a new storyline. If that announcement made your day, we suggest checking back here at QJ.NET to hear about the other announcements in the coming days.

Fans are speculating that due to the recent success of Resident Evil, Capcom may be on its way to developing a Resident Evil title for the PlayStation Portable. Given the return of Bionic Commando, however, you can never really be sure what exciting things are up Capcom's sleeves.

We learned about Capcom's tentative Tokyo Game Show 07 line up the following day and as far as we can tell, the list didn't include the three big announcements promised by the legendary development studio.

It's a good thing though that Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Research Christian Svensson gave a little clarification on the matter. Speaking to fans over at the official forums Capcom Unity, Svensson said that the tentative line up is pretty much it for them at TGS 07 with the addition of We Love Golf.

It was just recently announced that the simulation game will be released in North America in 2008 with the help of developer Camelot Software. Svensson also said:

I think I know most things that are being shown at TGS. Most of our biggest announcements are being held for a Capcom event we'll be holding in a few weeks in London. It's there that some heads might explode.

The official wouldn't divulge anything further but said that the dates are already set.

Capcom's not letting their guard down even if they already have a strong presence in the market. Gamasutra sat down for an interview with Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Research Christian Svensson, and he talked about Capcom's future with much focus on Wii and downloadable content.

Svensson expressed his confidence with Resident Evil 4 going to the Wii, saying "anytime you sell another copy to another user, it expands the brand." Even with the PC version getting patches for improvement, he believes that the Wii version of RE4 is going to be the best out of four platforms.

While Capcom will be releasing several titles available for download on PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms, Svensson stated that it's more difficult to make a Wii downloadable game because of filesize limitations. On the good side, he confirmed the possibility of making original content on Wii if Nintendo gets their processes in order. Apart from that, the only main problem for making downloadable games available is the coordination required between them and the company of the console they want the game on.

Support for Windows games haven't been decided yet, but Capcom is trying to extend its market by focusing on the PC. "If you look at a lot of the developing markets like China, South Korea, and India, the gaming platform of choice is the PC" says Svensson. They seem to have great plans indeed, as he believes that Monster Hunter: Frontier will be big when it goes live in Japan.

Sometime last week, Capcom has confirmed the long-time rumor which has been going around, saying that the supposed Sony exclusive Devil May Cry 4 was going multiplatform. This was of course followed by a lot of varied reactions and even some Dante-must-stay-with-Sony movements which resulted in an online petition to keep the franchise exclusive.

Well, with all the clamor that we have been hearing from fans, someone from Capcom has finally braved the hordes, and spoke about the company's stand in this decision. That brave man was no other than Christian Svensson, Capcom's senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research. His brief statement is as follows:

We are certainly moved that people are so passionate about our products that they would go to such extremes. At the same time we feel that allowing more people access to our content pleases far more people than it displeases (after all, we're not denying DMC4 to anyone that was already going to get it). It really is the best decision for the company and for consumers.

Even though some fans may be upset at this development, the man does seem to have a point. After all, moving a title onto another platform may not be so bad, and it doesn't lessen the fact that Devil May Cry 4 will be, as its predecessors were, a cool and fun game. Besides, weren't games created to allow people to have fun in the first place? Anyway, what's done is done, and all that we can do now is wait for the game to actually come out and see if it can live up to the expectations of the masses.
