The Lost Gamer writes It would seem that further instalments to the Resident Evil Archives collection could very well be heading to Wii in the near future.
As the next link in a chain of videogame-related action figures, it has been confirmed today that Capcom's Resident Evil will be releasing some brand new deluxe figures this March. Albert Wesker and Chris Redfield are the first two characters set to be released, and though the figures are undoubtedly set to be highly sought-after, they won't be coming cheap.
HellDescent writes: Capcom has always been known for putting in some bonus modes and treats to liven up their games after completion and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles follows that tradition. We have 2 videos here that show of some of the bonuses we can expect to see in this title.
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.
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.
The NGamer magazine has brought some interesting review scores in its latest issue. Check them out.
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.
Producer Jun Takeuchi has said he'd like to see the Resident Evil series rebooted after Dark Chronicles.
