The 37 greatest zombie triumphs (Feature)

Oct 27, 2009

You don’t have to see or play absolutely everything on this list to be a proper zombie connoisseur, but you should at least know them. These are the genre’s defining relics. Some are responsible for the very creation of the zombie mythos, others adapted and advanced it, while the rest simply encapsulate it so exquisitely that they must be experienced. This may not be everyone’s definitive list of zombie lore ...

Resident Evil: Afterlife Officially Official (News)

Oct 1, 2009

HellDescent writes: "The 4th Resident Evil film has officially been confirmed by Screen Gems and Constantine Films. Milla Jovavich is returning as Alice, Ali Larter as Clair Redfield, Spencer Locke as K-Mart, Wentworth Miller as Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker will be now played by Shawn Roberts. The full 3D film is set to begin filming in Toronto very soon."

Resident Evil: Afterlife Date Changed (News)

Aug 20, 2009

Hell Descent writes:
Paul W.S. Anderson's next Resident Evil film will not be releasing in September as previously stated, but a little earlier on August 27th. Apparently Anderson who is both the writer and director has been researching nearly every 3D film to hit the big screen to be ready for his first foray into the 3rd dimension of cinema. Our guess is that he needs to find some ways to incorporate 3D scenes without forcing them. Since Afterlife is supposed to be a reboot, we'll just pretend Extinction never happen and pray this film stays at least a mile from the source material.

Why the Resident Evil 4 style wasn't chosen for Darkside Chronicles (News)

Jul 28, 2009

By the time winter passes by, the Wii will have seen the release of two Resident Evil games: Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles. However, Capcom chose to develop both games on-rails instead of as third-person shooters.

Resident Evil:Afterlife Is First Of New Planned Trilogy (News)

Jul 25, 2009

Paul W.S. Anderson tells Shock Till You Drop that Resident Evil: Afterlife will be his 4th RE film, but not a sequel. Instead the series will be revamped and start as a whole new trilogy. Afterlife will have a bigger budget than the previous films and will see the return of old characters and new ones. The film will also be joining that whole 3D fad that decided to rear its head up from the 70's.

"I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films, "he said. "And we've been very lucky where it's a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I'm really excited we're doing it [in 3-D] and we're using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise."

Our guess is that Paul will take the Fast And Furious approach; by having a film that ignores previous events and rewrites the series history. This is good news for die hard Resident Evil fans. Maybe, just maybe we can have a RE film that doesn't stray so far from the source material. We're looking at you Extinction.

Sam Fisher’s gone through some midlife crisis-sized changes over the past couple of years. One minute he’s a tortured emo agent on the run, with as little respect for the law as he does for kept facial hair. The next he’s a malicious murderer, who makes Jack Bauer look like Jack Osborne.

E3 2004: Five Years Later (Feature)

Before we dunk our collective heads into the salty man-pool that is E3 2009, let’s take a moment to reflect on the events and images of E3 2004. Just five years ago Nintendo was struggling, Sony was unquestionably on top and Microsoft only had Halo 2 to keep fans attentive. Today… well, it’s a little different, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves ...

Coolest Gadgets:
We all know that the Nintendo Wii is privy to a bunch of peripherals that are actually nothing more than pieces of plastic which are supposed to augment the playing experience, but most of them (golf and tennis attachments) actually end up posing as a bigger risk when it comes to breaking things around in your home as you make that swing.

How much money do videogame movies actually make? (Feature)

Mar 19, 2009

Yeah, yeah, videogame movies suck. We're bored of saying it. But regardless of the suckage and widespread critical kicking they receive, they just keep on coming. Why so? We doubt that they're made for the love of it, so it must be because they can actually make a few bucks at the box-office. Can it really be true and, if so, how much money do video game movies actually make?

We picked 10 videogame movies and found out how ...

Why Is There No Capcom In Super Smash Bros. Brawl? (News)

Feb 4, 2008

Kotaku claims to have spoken with insider sources at Nintendo, who attribute the lost exclusivity of Resident Evil 4 to Nintendo reconsidering the inclusion of Capcom characters in Brawl. RE4 was originally meant to be exclusive to the Gamecube, but concerns over sales led Capcom to release the title on PS2, and later on PC, with additional content.

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Review)

Jun 27, 2007

Is there anything left to say about Resident Evil 4? It came out more than two years ago, astonished GameCube owners for about a month and then went into hibernation until the PS2 port launched later in 2005 with bonus goodies galore. Now, in friggin' 2007, Wii gets the PS2 version plus some wiggle-waggle controls - and that's it. No enhanced graphics, no "new to Wii" modes, just the same damn game you've probably beaten two or three times by now. And you know what? It's still a satisfying, ...

May 25, 2007

The pioneer - Resident Evil | 1996 | PS1 Responsible for coining the term survival horror, Resident Evil was more than a third person action/adventure with a few monsters in - it marked out the beginning of a genre that actively went out of its way to unsettle and isolate players. For a start, you never had enough ammo, so sooner or later you were going to have to run. But run where? The claustrophobic confines of the mansion was as much your enemy as the monsters, with intentionally awkward ...

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition Scores 9.5 (News)

May 22, 2007

Japanese game magazine Famitsu were the first to review Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. Their verdict?

According to the magazine, which tasked four of their writers with reviewing the game, the content is almost identical to the GameCube version, but the Wiimote controls make the game feel fresh and different. One reviewer commented that the Wiimote controls made the player feel closer to the action, and increased the tension when hunting down the zombies.

Of the four reviewers, two of them gave the game a 10/10, and the other two gave it a 9/10. And while Famitsu are not exactly the toughest critics in the video game journalism industry, these scores appear to indicate that we have a lot to look forward to come release day on June 19th.

May 21, 2007

While most of us can still only dream of a chance to play the Wii version of Resident Evil 4, the editors of Famitsu DS+Wii were apparently spending some quality time with the real thing long ago. The Nintendo-oriented monthly sister publication of Weekly Famitsu offered opinions on the game in its July issue, which just hit Japanese news stands today.

Judging by the scores, the Wii could have a critical hit. Two editors awarded the game a perfect 10 out of 10. The other two were still impressed enough to award a score of 9.

Yes, the system is backwards compatible with the GameCube, which does play a fantastic version of RE4, but for those who have yet to experience this magnificent piece of technology, now's the time.

First RE: Umbrella Chronicles trailer (News)

Apr 6, 2007

Gamers and critics alike let out a gasp of horrific glee when Resident Evil 4 kicked in the GameCube's door back in 2005. The fast-paced, over the shoulder splatterfest revitalized a franchise, considered by many to be in the same state of living decomposition as its undead antagonists. And it proved to the world that the Nintendo's system wasn't just for kiddies and fanboys. So our hopes are high that the upcoming Wii port will have the same "maturing" effect on the system, as well as silence ...

Resident Evil 4 on Wii official, Umbrella Chronicles an on-rails shooter (News)

Apr 4, 2007

From the article:

"Pity the Resident Evil fanatic. Not only has the poor guy had to buy two chainsaw controllers and brave two Resident Evil movies (and now suffers cold sweats anticipating the third), but according to Famitsu, he'll now have to buy a third version of Resident Evil 4, this time for Wii.

An intrepid NeoGAF member translated the info from the most recent issue of the Japanese magazine. The new version (presumably the unannounced game that Capcom hinted at last month) uses the Wiimote for aiming, naturally, but also uses it for stabbing zombies, as God intended. There's no word yet on whether or not it will reach North America, but a listing for the game briefly appeared on Gamestop's site, and the thing's already been localized once, so it would seem like a lock..."
