‘Resident Evil’ HD System Requirements Aren’t That Evil

Published

on

A week is all that’s left standing between us and the triumphant HD return of the Resident Evil remake that originally released for the GameCube in 2002. I’ve been playing it for my review — also coming next week — and boy is it tough. Either that, or I’m getting progressively worse at playing these sorts of games, and I sincerely hope that isn’t the case.

Capcom has released some PC requirements so the PC Master Race can better prepare their minds, bodies and PCs for the horrors that lurk in the darkened halls of the remastered Spencer Estate. If you have a relatively decent rig, playing this game shouldn’t be a problem.

Don’t forget, you can pre-order the game now on all platforms. Doing so on Steam will net you the game’s soundtrack and a digital artbook, while pre-ordering the PS3/PS4 version will unlock Cross-Buy so you get both for the price of one.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Published

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music.

And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
