When you think Resident Evil, the first thing that comes to mind is “zombies,” yeah? That being said, lurking behind the shadows of the undead are far creepier monsters that will give our cast of heroes more than a fright. Resident Evil’s Yawn , Resident Evil 2’s Licker, and of course Nemesis from Resident Evil 3. The series has always been about more than just mindless zombies, and...
Resident Evil has always been pretty hamfisted about its themes, politics, and undertones. Can you call them "undertones" though with the extreme lack of subtlety these games' writers have. "This is no ritual. It's terrorism." "Isn't that a popular word these days?" Thanks Resident Evil 4 zombie Napoleon, I get it. It's topical… Anyway, Capcom has released Resident Evil...
Everyone is all about Barry Burton these days. The fan favorite character from the first Resident Evil is finally making a return to the franchise in Resident Evil Revelations 2, and now we finally have a good look at him. Man, it's not exactly the shock we saw when Old Snake burst onto the scene, but time has been catching up to our gun-toting friend. Barry is getting up there in...
Cool, collected, and armed with all the gun knowledge one could ask for, Barry Burton is a total boss and has a soft spot in the hearts of the Resident Evil crowd as one of its first fan favorite characters. After surviving the initial mansion incident which kickstarted this whole franchise, Burton went into hiding for many canonical games, and he is finally making his grand return to...
The gimmick Resident Evil Revelations 2 brings to the popular zombie shooting franchise is co-op in a way you've rarely seen in before. Most often in co-op games, the two characters will have equal footing and all the same abilities, so nobody feels like they are being left behind. However, this new game throws out that idea by providing players with two very different character...
Capcom has released several new gameplay trailers showing off all of the different options and basic actions you can take when playing through the incoming Resident Evil Revelations 2. The first option shown off has been at the center of Resident Evil since Resident Evil 4. Cross hair or laser sight? Do you strive for a more authentic experience and use the laser sights, or do you...
We know that Resident Evil Revelations 2 stars Resident Evil 2 lead Claire Redfield and newcomer Moira Burton, but will these two be the only playable characters in the game's adventure? The game's ESRB rating, obviously an "M," seems to think that another character could be thrown into this mix as well. "This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the roles of an...
It seems like whenever we stumble across Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil franchise, she is always defined by her youth and the fact that she is the younger sister of franchise hero Chris Redfield. Resident Evil Revelations 2, though, puts her in big shoes as the authoritative figure in the game’s core duo. New screenshots and gameplay footage show off the two very different roles ...
Along with the option to pre-order the game, the PlayStation Store update revealed that Capcom might have a release date for Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Feb. 17, 2015. However, widespread speculation from the gaming community led to a statement from Resident Evil's Twitter account claiming that the date is just a placeholder and should not be taken as a confirmation. PSA: That...
Tokyo Game Show 2014 has left me pretty pumped for Japanese video games in the coming year, especially on the high end home consoles. The common belief among the video game audience is that Japan's shrinking population is too busy and too mobile to sit in front of a television and just play games anymore. Developers are washed up on the console market as Western publishers encroach on...
