New Featurette Teases ‘Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City’s’ Return To Its Horror Roots

Director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) is taking us back to Raccoon City this November with Sony’s Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City. A new featurette is here, spotlighting the movie’s return to its horror roots and teasing some of the many Easter Eggs that are to be discovered. I want fans to just look at these locations and be like wow, I’m in the game,” Roberts explains. “Capcom was super supportive. They gave us the actual blueprints, so we built the mansion and police station exactly as the game. Every frame has details – the orphanage doors, a typewriter in the background, the little herbs. It’s really fun. It’s very much for the fans.” “Returning to the terrifying roots of the massively popular franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games of the billion-dollar franchise and the most successful video game adaptation in history to life for a whole new generation of fans.”

New ‘Resident Evil’ Co-Op Game In The Works

A Remake Done Right: Video Game Review Of ‘Resident Evil 2’

I remember playing Resident Evil 2 on the N64 a lot; in fact, it was the first “Resident Evil” game I’ve ever played that got me hooked onto the series. Fast forward to now, you could only imagine the honor I felt when CAPCOM gave me the opportunity to play the remake of this classic and what I can say is this: If you liked the original, then you’ll love this! Don’t worry this is spoiler free! First thing I noticed right away playing this game, its dark, not figuratively, literally and that makes it amazing as it adds to the tension. Speaking of tension, usually, a soundtrack helps break it but the lack of one playing as you explore your surroundings makes it terrifying! I suggest playing this game with headphones as all the stops were pulled to creep you out with 3D surround sound, every creak of wood, the structural groan from wind, and distant sounds of flesh-crazed

‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Looks Good, Scary Good

It’s been rumored ever since Capcom did a remake of “Resident Evil” that they would remake their equally popular sequel. Well at E3 it was confirmed, the remake is coming January of 2019! The reveal trailer showed a mix of cinematic and gameplay images confirming one thing to veteran fans of the original… this is a terrifying new game! Like the more recent “Resident Evil” games (with the exception of “RE7”), the game will be an over the shoulder third-person game. The main focus of course is it’s obvious the game was strapped into a chair and pumped full of nightmare fuel. The setting looks darker, grittier, and bloodier the way a zombie video game should be. If the remake of “Resident Evil 2” looks terrifying, imagine when they remake “Resident Evil 3: Nemesis”!
