‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Receives E3 Trailer and Release Date!

Published

on

The Playstation E3 conference just revealed the long-awaited remake for 1998’s legendary survival horror classic Resident Evil 2! Last year’s Resident Evil 7 was a return to the franchise’s horror roots, after the later games began leaning too heavily on action and quick-time events. Now Capcom is bringing us back to the beginning of the outbreak.

Resident Evil 2 is a quintessential example of dread-inducing, atmospheric gameplay the franchise was built on, and one of the best games in the series. The first Resident Evil received a hugely successful HD remaster back in 2002, and fans have wondered ever since when Resident Evil 2 would receive the same treatment.

Well, the wait is finally over.

The trailer opens from a curious perspective as we crawl along storage shelves, and witness a police officer get into a confrontation with an unseen suspect. As the shelf we were perched on tips over, it reveals we were witnessing this happen through the eyes of a (now crushed) mouse. The officer falls into view, as the perp sinks his teeth into the cop’s neck tearing off a giant piece of flesh.

A shot rings out, and the zombie falls lifeless (like, actually dead) to the ground as rookie Leon Kennedy is seen standing shaken in the doorway with his smoking sidearm. The trailer then hits us with a cacophony of grunge, screams, and bloody sinew.

Capcom has cranked the terror up to 11 as the tone of the trailer has gone noticeably darker and more intense (much in the same vein as Resident Evil 7). We also see the tenacious Claire Redfield making her triumphant return.

Raccoon City has never been more stunningly realized as we cut from the abandoned, rain-soaked streets, to the horrific, blood-soaked interiors. The trailer boasts dynamic, eerie lighting, and gorgeously bleak visuals, with incredible character models. Cars are ablaze, zombies shamble around every corner, and we even glimpse some of the abominations that haunted our nightmares. Zombies, and Lickers, and Tyrants…oh my.

Gamespot reports a press release confirms the gameplay has shifted back from Resident Evil 7’s first-person POV to third-person over the shoulder. However, the gameplay appears to wisely be keeping its focus on creeping horror as opposed to fast-paced action. Zombies are also reported to take “instant visible damage” in real-time.

Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait too long to walk Raccoon City’s zombie filled streets once again. The trailer ends confirming a release date of January 25th, 2019. Pre-orders are now available to purchase the game on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

One thing is for sure…the voice acting has definitely improved.

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.

“We are thrilled to work with Paramount Game Studios and to have the opportunity to bring the world of ‘Paranormal Activity’ to gamers everywhere,” Epic Pictures CEO and DreadXP producer Patrick Ewald told Variety. “The films are steeped in rich lore and creative scares, and under the stewardship of creative director Brian Clarke, DreadXP’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ video game will honor those core tenets and offer horror fans one of our most terrifying games yet.”

Clarke, who worked on the horror video game The Mortuary Assistant said the Paranormal Activity franchise shows just how much reach a genre-specific title can accomplish, “If you thought ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ was scary, we’re taking what we learned during the development of that title and cranking it up with a more reactive and horrifying haunting system. It’s going to be intense!”

The new game is scheduled to be released in 2026.
