A Custom PS1 Inspired by ‘Resident Evil’s’ Nemesis

Published

UPDATE: I’m an idiot. This is a PS1, not a PSX.

If Nemesis was a gamer — and real — I imagine he’d do his gaming on something like this custom PSX console. Or, at least he would when he wasn’t, ya know, chasing down the S.T.A.R.S. so he could maim them with his tentacle hand.

If you’re unfamiliar with the PSX, it doubled as a Sony digital video recorder and a PlayStation 2. It also never left Japan and was discontinued a little over a year after its launch due to poor sales. I’ve never considered myself particularly in tune with the average Japanese gamer, but I think the PSX would have had a significantly better chance at finding its audience had it sported this fantastic B.O.W. inspired look when it originally launched.

And is it just me, or would this console pair well with that sickly eXistenZ controller that tested our gag reflexes a few months back?

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
