Capcom also unveiled Asura’s Wrath, developed in collaboration with CyberConnect2 (developers of the .hack// series). The game is a third person action title for PS3 and Xbox 360. Not much is known at this point, but it appears to feature some god-sized characters and lots of fighting.

Also revealed at the event was Dead Rising 2: Case West, a DLC pack that brings the original’s protagonist back for an encore. 

At EA’s Tokyo Game Show press event, the company revealed Shadows of the Damned, the new horror game from famed developer Goichi Suda. The game, with an expected 2011 release, features music from Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka and a punk rock aesthetic.
