After making PC gamers wait for news on PC versions for Resident Evil 5 or Street Fighter IV, Capcom announced on Friday that both games will arrive for the platform this year. The company announced that Street Fighter IV, which shipped for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in February, will arrive for the PC in July. Also in July will be the PC version of Bionic Commando, which will ship on the consoles later this month. Resident Evil 5 will ship sometime later in the year.

Capcom says that all three games will be optimized for the platform and have PC-specific features. The PC version of Street Fighter IV will support higher resolutions and offer three new shaders that give the game unique looks. These looks are based on trailers that were released for the game. So you can make Street Fighter IV a watercolor style, a posterization style, or a sumi-e ink style. Rest assured that Street Fighter IV will also support online gameplay.

Bionic Commando on the PC will also have support for higher resolutions and online gameplay. It will also support both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10.

Finally, Resident Evil 5 on the PC will support co-op play online (just like the console versions). In addition, it will support Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision technology, which basically allow for a 3D viewing experience not unlike 3D movies. You need to purchase the 3D Vision glasses separately.
