As per the Laws of the Internet (chiseled in stone somewhere), the sheer number of exclamation marks means this must be an exciting time! Oh, no! Now I’m doing it too!
Anyway, while Capcom is busy getting everyone pumped for next year’s releases, there are also going to be several playable demos at NYCC which aren’t available anywhere else. Of particular note are playable builds of Dragon’s Dogma (a next-gen home console attempt at a Monster Hunter-style game), Street Fighter X Tekken (which according to people we have spoken to is shaping up quite well), and Resident Evil: Raccoon City (a title I still can’t make heads or tails out of).
