Oh Good, ‘Resident Evil Revelations 2’ Didn’t Disappoint

Published

Capcom has made a concerted effort to try and bring some consistency back to their flagship horror franchise Resident Evil, which has been plagued by a string of poorly received entries including Resident Evil 6 and Operation Raccoon City. Those efforts are starting to pay off, as both the Resident Evil remaster and Resident Evil Revelations 2 have been met with solid reviews and commercial success.

Last month, Capcom shared some sales figures for the remaster, which has sold over a million copies since its release this past January. That game was almost guaranteed to perform well, but Revelations 2 however, wasn’t as sure of a bet. The episodic game made its debut near the end of February, and Capcom has shipped over 1.1 million copies in the two months and change since.

Granted, that represents the number of copies that have been sent to retailers worldwide and it includes physical and digital sales, but it’s still impressive. It’s also ridiculously fun.

This is obviously great news for us, as it all but guarantees that the inevitable Resident Evil 7 won’t be following in the footsteps of its predecessor. The only thing that can ruin all this progress is Capcom. They’ve been smart, but it’s easy to stumble, and the odds of their making a similar mistake grows when egos are inflated and folks start thinking they can do no wrong. Capcom needs to stay grounded, and a good way to do that is by not saying stuff like, oh I don’t know, maybe “Resident Evil Revelations 2 which is sold in an ingenious manner,” for example.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is available now on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The game is also scheduled to arrive on the Vita this summer.

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. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

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.
