Trio Of ‘Resident Evil 6’ Videos Show Off Four Player Co-op, Zombie Dogs, And Giant Snakes

I am finding myself getting more and more pumped for this game. I was admittedly a little worried, a feeling that’s shared by a majority of Resident Evil fans by now, but after enjoying some hands-on time with the demo, I’ve found my worries are slowly being soothed away. Capcom’s being ambitious with Resident Evil 6, offering us three wildly different campaigns that seem to be heavily influenced by past games in the series–Chris’ story plays like RE5, Leon’s like RE4, and Jake’s like RE3. The last time Capcom went all in was with Resident Evil 4, and I think most of us can agree that that game was amazing. Capcom recently unveiled three new gameplay videos, which you can find after the break, that give us another glimpse of each of the three campaigns. These aren’t the same sections we’ve already seen either, no sir, this is (mostly) new.

In the videos below you’ll see some nifty new features, including the often teased four player co-op. This feature doesn’t play out like it does in Halo: Reach or Gears of War 3, in RE6 it’s temporary. Every once in a while each of the three campaigns will converge, like, for example, during the boss fight you can watch below. In it, we see Jake and Sherry meet up with Leon and Helena as they encounter the Ustanak. One of my (many) complaints with Operation Raccoon City was how linear and flat the levels were, but Resident Evil 6 remedies that issue a bit by adding a little verticality to the levels so you have some options. I hope there’s a lot of that.

Also, it looks like the Ustanak’s wound could be its weak point, and if that’s the case that could mean the era of glowing body parts that signal a boss’s weak point has finally ended. All right, I’ll shut up so you can enjoy the videos.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
