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.

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.

Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles what gamers have in store, possible online multiplayer (News)

May 18, 2009

The sequel to 2007 rail-shooter Umbrella Chronicles it follows up to the RE 2 story. RE:DC will be different with a possible online multiplayer. Players can play with online or with a friend at home. There's no official word that it is going to have online multiplayer but, there will be some kind of online feature. Other than the online the game seems to be more promising. Unlike the the previous game, you can now carry health items and the d-pad will work to switch among your weapons like the same feature on RE 5. The game will follow up in to the RE 2 story along with a new scenario with Leon in South American. This does seem like one hell of a game. Fans no doubt will enjoy this new installment into the series. The game will be released exclusively for the Wii in winter 2009

Dec 4, 2007

This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending December 3rd, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the last two weeks at number four, slips a bit to the fourth spot to make room for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men to move up one spot into the fourth spot, but that's the only movement -- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune stays at number five, where it entered last week.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Review)

Nov 21, 2007

Nov 21, 2007 Theres no doubt in our minds that at some point in the recent past, Umbrella Chronicles was a very different game from the one that has finally emerged.

RE 4 is a tough act to follow, and its a shame we never saw Umbrella Chronicles ...

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.

Resident Evil Wii details (News)

Sep 14, 2006

Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp Chronicles is the confirmed title for the Wii's own dose of zombie-blasting action, and will use the Wii-mote to offer a lightgun style of gameplay.
