And it’s easy to see why: the trailer was highly effective at inducing a general sense of terror, and then flipped our expectations once we saw Leon’s handsome mug show up.

UltimateMonster Hunter is crossing over with Final Fantasy XIV,  the Mega Man X Collections are getting new cross-game modes with a story, Cody is in Street Fighter V, and they have Street Fighter tournaments going on at E3.
