‘Resident Evil 6’ Is Going To Have A Lot Of Cinematics
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that a majority of you have probably played Resident Evil 5. Despite it being one of the weaker games in the series, I still spent an unhealthy amount of time with it, primarily because it was a great way to keep myself and a friend entertained for a few hours. You didn’t really need to try all that hard to beat it in 3-4 hours, so that makes the news that Resident Evil 6 will have over four hours of cut-scenes all the more impressive. In case you needed another example of how much bigger RE6 will be over its predecessor, its 255 minutes worth of cinematics are longer than what it takes for a moderately skilled player to beat RE5’s entire campaign. That’s four times what RE5 had, but it’s still less than half of what MGS4 made us sit through back in 2008, and when you spread it across three campaigns, it makes sense. What do you think? Is this too much, or are you all right with the substantially larger effort Capcom is putting into making Resident Evil 6 a more cinematic game?

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
