0 Comments

Resident Evil 5 was on a bunch of lists today. In case you're curious how well the game is selling or how active the community is, here are the lists:

Xbox 360 Top Live Titles - RE5 takes 9th place in terms of activity, beating out Capcom's recent Bionic Commando demo.
Top Canadian rental list - Canadians rented RE5 the most for both Xbox 360 and the PS3 for a period ending May 3rd.
UK sales charts - RE5 stayed at fifth place again.

And thus ends your weekly dose of lists.

Capcom PS1 and PSP games coming to the PSN

6:01 PM - -

0 Comments

According to a Joystiq interview with Capcom's Chris Kramer, Capcom is looking to bring quite a few PS1 and PSP titles to the PlayStation Network over the coming months. And you can bet that means a bunch of RE titles:

"We'll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," Kramer said. "We're thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we're looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months."

Since there is no Resident Evil game on the PSP, it is fairly obvious that means that we'll see classic PS1 games like RE1, 2, and 3 on the PlayStation Network. Especially since they've already been released on the Japanese PSN.

More new wiki pages added

1:58 PM - -

0 Comments

We've added a bunch of new pages to our Resident Evil wiki. This update focuses mostly on some Tyrants from Umbrella Chronicles, and some smaller characters from RE's early history:

Ivan - Sergei Vladimir's personal bodyguard Tyrants.
T-A.L.O.S. - Designed as a response to the Nemesis Tyrant, this experimental Tyrant was meant to be Umbrella's most powerful bioweapon.
Joseph Frost - Suffers a death early in the series.
Brad Vickers - Probably the worst member of the STARS response team. Leaves his teammates to die. Swell guy.

Some other articles have received some updates as well, so poke around. If we're missing anything that you'd like to know about, leave a comment on this news post and I'll do my best to write up an article for it.

New Poll - Resident Evil remake

11:11 AM - -

0 Comments

Since the Resident Evil remake on the Gamecube is coming to the Wii next month as Resident Evil Archives, I thought I'd post a new poll regarding remakes:

What Resident Evil remake would you like to see?

I've left out Resident Evil 0, 1, 4, and Outbreak 1 and 2, because those games were either created directly for the last generation of consoles or have been remade for them. For this poll, the only options are games that haven't received an actual full remake since the last generation of consoles. I'm guessing Resident Evil 3 is going to be the big winner here, but we'll see.

Now, let's see the results to our previous poll:

What other characters would you like to have a storyline in Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles?

Albert Wesker - 160

Jill Valentine - 151

HUNK - 135

That dog from RE4 - 129

Rebecca Chambers - 105

Chris Redfield - 104

Barry Burton - 75

Jack Krauser - 72

Votes: 931

Albert Wesker is the winner here. Unfortunately, he'll only be appearing in Darkside Chronicles as part of a flashback, so we won't get to see more of his adventures for a while. In second place is Jill, which makes a lot of sense, as there are many unanswered questions about where she has been/what she has done over the years. Hopefully we get the answers eventually!

Grab the RE5 theme

1:17 PM - -

4 Comments

Want to listen to the RE5 theme without loading up the game? This page on Capcom's Japanese site is serving up the song (in .m4a form) for those who want to grab it.

The free download is entitled BIOHAZARD 5 ~ Theme Song ~ Vocal Less Version, and clocks in at about 3 minutes and 20 second of length. It is also pretty good, so it should be worth your time to give it a listen.

New Featured Wiki Article: The Mercenaries

0 Comments

We've updated our featured wiki article once again, this time showcasing our The Mercenaries page, which focuses on the Mercenaries game mode from Resident Evil 3, 4, and 5.

Site editor DarkBlood999 has been hard at work creating individual wiki sections for the RE4 and RE5 Mercs mode, so be sure to check out the main Mercenaries page linked above, and then spread out to each game's Mercs page. These pages cover everything from an overview of the game mode to strategies, character details, level information, and more.

RE5 and 3D Vision

1:13 AM - -

0 Comments

If you read about the Resident Evil 5 PC announcement, you probably noticed the news that the port would support nVidia's Geforce 3D Vision technology. And if you're like me, you probably wondered just what that 3D Vision stuff was. If that is the case, stop by this article, which I've written up to give a brief intro to the technology, how it works, and what it does.

Bottom line is the technology actually does allow you to play your games in impressive 3D, but only if you have the hardware necessary to do it. And it isn't cheap. For more information, check out the article. And if you've actually tried out 3D Vision before, leave your impressions in the comments section!

RE5 Map Upgraded

2:39 PM - -

0 Comments

The technical wizards at IGN have worked their magic on our Interactive RE5 Map, upgrading it with some awesome new technology.

Now when you submit a marker (or view existing ones), you can select three different options on the side: Original Story, Mercenaries, and Versus. This allows us to display the Mercenaries markers on the existing map without getting in the way of the main story's markers. So if you want to see where all the treasures are in the single-player game, hit original story. Or if you want to see where items/time bonuses are in the Mercs modes, hit the Mercenaries option and it'll display on markers approved for that mode!

RE5 coming to the PC

1:43 PM - -

0 Comments

According to this news over at GameSpy, Capcom has finally lifted the shroud off one of their worst kept secrets ever to unveil that Resident Evil 5 will be coming to the PC sometime this year.

While PC developer CD Projekt had previously announced they were porting the game, the surprise here is that the PC port of Resident Evil 5 will support nVidia's new GeForce 3D vision technology, which allows you to play the game in 3D if you have the proper hardware (and 3D glasses). Not too shabby!

Oh, and in case you were wondering...DX9 and DX10 support, as well as full keyboard and mouse support.

New Darkside Chronicles blog update

7:18 AM - -

0 Comments

Capcom has updated the official blog for the Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles website. In this entry, Yasuhiro Seto (the game's director) talks about bringing horror back into the game, something he feels the last game was missing. Here is a snippet:

The camera was the first thing that we worked on. The viewpoint of a person who is surrounded by horror and wrapped in tension is not steady like a movie camera, but rather moves quite violently. In order to convey that tension and sense of presence more effectively, in certain places we used a camera that really moves as if it were attached to a person’s face.

The last few RE games have sort of removed the horror aspect from the series, so it is really interesting to see Darkside Chronicles go back to this. Even though it is an on-rails shooter, the game seems to go back to the series' roots.
