It’s Your Right to Dress Like a Fool in ‘Resident Evil 0’
Heads up: this video for the upcoming Resident Evil 0 remaster has dumb DLC and pre-order incentives. In an effort to motivate you to reserve your copy right away, they’re offering some spectacularly awful character costumes as pre-order incentives. The two costumes are ‘Wolf Force Billy’ and ‘Cheerleader Rebecca’, so they’re named in such a way that you can have a very accurate idea of how bad they are without even looking at them.
In combining two things I loathe about video games, Capcom has gotten me angry at cheerleaders, and that’s not okay. They don’t deserve that. Shame on you, Capcom.
Oh well. They probably deserve some points for consistency.
I don’t mean to take a poo on this game, especially since it looks like it will match the fantastic Resident Evil remaster that released back in January. My problem is costumes either need to be outrageous or cool, and I wouldn’t use either of those words to describe what we have here.
I appreciate the Deadly Silence nod with Billy’s costume, even if it’s a little too reminiscent of one of Chris’ alternate costumes in Resident Evil 5. I’m sure the cheerleader outfit will have its supporters, and if you’re one of them, wouldn’t you rather see something a wee bit more original, like Sheva’s fairytale outfit? Just an idea.
Resident Evil 0 releases on January 19 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
