Capcom is already packed 2026, with at least three main continuation – Resident Evil RequiemIN Onimusha: Way of the SwordAND Monster hunter stories 3 -That move to overshadow your long -term development PragmaticSomething novel from the company. But fans of action games should carefully observe the science-fi Capcom shooter, which introduces intriguing phrases to the formula of a third person shooters.
Polygon played Pragmatic Earlier this summer, and the editor -in -chief Matt Patches has already provided a glowing preview of the game. He called Pragmatic The “edition” (precise) and said that “smooth, without friction, the demo offered the impression of shooters with a third person who seemed completely fresh.” I have to play a slightly extended version of this demo, which Capcom shows in Gamescom this week Pragmatic It was definitely not a secret game Mega Man, it certainly made me want more.
As mentioned earlier, the double heroine of the band Spaceman Hugh Williams and a little girl Android Diana combine their powers to make every meeting Pragmatic Partly puzzles, partly a shooter. There is a lot of quick thinking in flight, not just careful aiming and managing enemies, when they both explore the space station known as Cradle, in which robots went crazy. While Hugh has a weapon arsenal at his disposal, it relies on Diana to hammer his enemies to make them sufficiently susceptible to attack.
Each meeting includes a combination of (quite fun) Diana hacking mini and switching to the best firearm in the Hugh inventory. In addition to a standard rifle that slowly charges ammunition, Hugh can also utilize a shock wave gun that works like a futuristic shotgun to destroy in close range and a mesh that hinders movement. Basically, a meeting with many enemy bots can consist of hacking one, ordering the other, ham on a hazardous from close range, breathing and going to the next goal. Rinse and repeat.
Where PragmaticCombat meetings are becoming more fascinating, there are limitations of Hugh weapons and improvements to Diana’s hacking minigam. Most Hugh pistols have very narrow ammunition and although some of them can slowly charge, players may want to intentionally exhaust the ammunition of weapons-while turning on-and grab another fully loaded. As someone who identifies as a chronic transhipment (One Shot, relead, repetition) in games, the idea of careful management of ammunition inventory and basically throwing out the used weapon began to get used to. But it was also very entertaining.
Diana mini -haking is basic, but under pressure may seem discouraging. In a sense, you play a rapid snake game, moving the line through the net called The Hacking Matrix: crossing the blue squares, avoiding red squares, and eventually you land on a green square. Hugh can also find consumer improvements called Hack Diana’s burglary nodes, adding yellow squares that strengthen the strength of her hacks. Again, they should be used strategically; During the boss battle, I regretted wasting burglary nodes in the fight leading to the boss.
Diana’s hacker giving has another layer. When the meter is fills up during battles, Diana can engage the protocol with the extent, giving her the opportunity to break into many enemies, by force opening armor and temporarily stopping movement. Again, saving this great movement to the right moment seems crucial for the survival of some battles.
. Pragmatic The demo in which I played ended in the fight with a boss with a huge security bot known as sectorguard. When he approached, I still had a suspicion Pragmatic I had a mega man DNA, but when Sectorguard was presented and he looked like a yellow devil, I gave up the truth. Pragmatic This is his own thing. (Good!)
The battle of Sectorguard forced me to utilize every aspect of Hugh and Diana tools. After using Hugh amplifiers to evade us sectorguard, I told Diana to hammer the machine, and then put it in a bubble of stagnation and relieved many burst of shock waves into its frail place. I went through many pistols when I exhausted them from their ammunition, I ran around the battle zone to find improvements and fully loaded pistols, and then repeated my pattern of shooting to (barely) sectoral (barely).
There is always such a chance PragmaticThe combination of hacking puzzles and shooting a third person resembles something like Pepsi Challenge: Best in miniature doses, in the long run. But PragmaticShooting and the aspects of the game around him are incredibly entertaining on the first erythema. Certainly it is shot at the top of my list of the most anticipated games that appeared next year, and I think it should also be on yours.
Pragmatic He comes to PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X in 2026.
