Capcom really hat outdone themselves with the unlockable costumes in Resident Evil: Revelations. Jill and Keith look deliciously cheesy, but Chris’s costume is particularly unforgettable. I really hope Capcom releases a batch of Chris pin-up posters, because this is just too good.
I’d say more, but I’d rather you checked them out for yourself. I wouldn’t want to say too much.

Itching for a chance to explore — or perhaps re-explore the claustrophobic hallways of the Queen Zenobia? You’ll get your opportunity when the Resident Evil: Revelations demo crawls out of the murky depths and onto Xbox Live, eShop, Steam and the PlayStation Network on May 14th. For the PSN users located across the pond, you’ll be getting it a day later, on May 15th.

Capcom is bringing Resident Evil: Revelations to every serious gaming platform later this month, but the console Capcom looks to be pushing the hardest is the Wii U. Where the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Revelations bring with them a few new features and remastered visuals, the Wii U version offers all that and a couple exclusive features that make full use of the console’s unique controller and Miiverse, all of which you can see in the trailer I have waiting for you beyond the break.

With Revelations coming to nearly every console on the planet in just three short weeks (May 21), I’ve been thinking — what are the best Resident Evil games? I wanted to rank the entire series, but then I remembered there are significantly more games in Capcom’s legendary horror franchise then there are in Silent Hill. I’ll also freely admit I haven’t played every game released to-date, nor do I have the time (or the will) to go through the few I missed to see where they place.
So, out of sheer laziness, I decided to choose the five best games and rank them from “worst” to best. Check out my list after the break, and feel free to disagree and offer your own in the comments! READ MORE
Lately, Capcom has been outsourcing the development of many of their games to third parties. Slant Six did Operation Raccoon City, Ninja Theory had DmC: Devil May Cry, Lost Planet 3 is coming from Spark Unlimited, etc. Unfortunately, Capcom isn’t very happy with how these games have been performing. The company confirmed a “special loss” of ¥7.2 bn ($73.3 MM) after cancelling multiple titles that were in development at third party studios. They’re blaming the significant loss on “excessive outsourcing” of low quality games, slow digital expansion, and poor marketing.
Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6 fell way short of expectations; DmC sold 1.1 million units of Capcom’s 2 million target, and RE6 performed even worse (relative to expectations), after selling over 2 million less copies than what they expected. Ouch.

Capcom may be working on bringing the original Resident Evil trilogy to PC, though it may be down the road a ways. On the company’s Unity forum, Capcom USA senior VP Christian Svensson said “We have been trying to get [Capcom Japan] to let us update [Resident Evil 1-3] to run on Win 7/8 and then get them out on more digital marketplaces for PC, but dicussions [sic] have been ongoing for more than a year and we’ve not made progress.” So there’s definite plans to bring them to PC, even if it may not happen for some time.
It’s been a while since I last played Resident Evil 3 — I don’t even own it anymore — so I’d very much like to re-experience that game again. What about you, which Resident Evil would you most like to see on PC?

If you’re finding it difficult to wait for Resident Evil: Revelations to make its way to the PS3, PC, Xbox 360 and Wii U in May, now you can grab it digitally through the Nintendo eShop. No longer is Revelations constrained to retail, like a Pikachu given a Thunderstone, it has evolved.
If you’d rather see more from the upcoming HD port, I recommend watching some of the gameplay Capcom’s been drip-feeding us over the last few months. I have a new story trailer, or if you’re feeling frisky you can watch the over-sexualized Rachel do her thing.

In the upcoming HD port of Resident Evil: Revelations, Capcom is making Rachel playable. After watching her kick kick a literal boat-load of slimy monster ass, I can see she’s more than capable of handling herself. What I’m not so sure of is how practical that outfit of hers is. Is her plan to distract the monsters with her cleavage long enough to line up a shot? See Rachel in action after the jump.

In a thread on the Capcom Unity forum, a fan asked if there were any plans to make Rachel playable in the 3DS version of Resident Evil: Revelations, as is the case for the upcoming console and PC port. Capcom’s Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson squashed any hopes 3DS owners might still have for DLC, saying “Sorry guys, but there are no planned updates for the 3DS version of Revelations. We’ve added a fair amount of new content to the new edition which is fairly common to do.”
If you want the port’s exclusive goodies, it looks like you’ll have to re-purchase Revelations when it comes to the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U on May 21st.

Today, Resident Evil 6 comes to the PC, and it’s bringing with it some exclusive content. This includes an exciting — and free — Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 crossover that infuses the PC version of RE6 with the cast and a couple of the enemies from L4D2. Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle will be playable in the Mercenaries No Mercy mode, where the Witch and Mini Tank will appear as enemies.
The crossover begins on April 5, but you can purchase Resident Evil 6 right now on PC for #29.99 (€29.99/£19.99). See the crossover in action after the break, along with a fresh batch of screenshots from the Onslaught mode.

Capcom is bringing Resident Evil: Revelations — easily the strongest of the four RE games released last year — to PC and consoles next month. I expect creepy locales brimming with puzzles and lots of slimy monsters, and maybe even a man with a wonderful flock of seagulls hairdo. See all that and more in this brand new trailer.

Capcom is doing a fine job making Resident Evil: Revelations for consoles enticing even if you already own it for the Nintendo 3DS. The upcoming high definition port will bring with it two new monsters, a playable Rachel in the cooperative Raid Mode, and Wii U-specific features. Only one of the two new monsters that are coming to the console and PC versions has been announced, and it’s called the Wall Blister. Yuck. If you’re planning on getting it on the Wii U, it will come with off-screen play, which means you can play it in another room while someone else uses the TV, and it will also make use of the console’s social network. See all that and more in the pretty substantial batch of new screenshots I have waiting for you after the jump.
In related news, Hunk and Rachel will both be playable at PAX East this weekend, alongside upcoming survival horror games Daylight and Outlast.

If you’re still on the fence about Resident Evil 6 or just waiting for its price to drop, Capcom is doing a fine job of making the upcoming PC version the one to get. If you pre-order the game on Steam before its March 22 release you will receive the DLC Season Pass, a digital artbook and soundtrack and Resident Evil 5 for free. If PC gaming isn’t your thing there’s the upcoming PS3 and Xbox 360 exclusive Siege Mode that’s basically Mercenaries with a lot more enemies thrown at you at once. Otherwise you can pre-purchase your PC copy for $39.99 on Steam right now.

We’ve been seeing a lot of Resident Evil: Revelations HD lately, but there’s still one question left on many fans’ minds: how will this version compare to the original? Now we can answer that too, thanks to a comparison video from Nintend2TV. See how the high definition port stacks up to the handheld version after the jump.

If you’re a Nintendo 3DS owner who’s aching for some steamy mercenary on mercenary action — in 3D — then keep an eye on the 3DS’s eShop tomorrow, March 7. The Mercenaries began as a mode in Resident Evil 4 before becoming its own game on Nintendo’s handheld. It comes with eight playable characters from the world of Resident Evil (Albert Wesker, Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers, Claire Redfield, Hunk, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, and Krauser) and a slew of maps — over 30 — that can be played alone or in co-op for the manageable price of $19.99.

Between the sun and its emphasis on “outside activities,” summer isn’t one of my favorite seasons. I prefer to be indoors, with something between me and that massive ball of fire and death that looms ominously in the sky above us. It’s a good thing Capcom has gamers like me in mind. Earlier today Capcom confirmed Lost Planet 3 will come to the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 on June 25 in North America and in Europe on June 28. That means I can stay inside and squash alien bugs with my giant mech feet. You know what pairs well with an announcement like this? How about a brand new trailer. Check it out after the jump.

Some of the enemies in Resident Evil 6 may have bordered on comical — I’m looking at you, man with the giant chicken legs — but there were a few that were genuinely freaky. The basic enemy you come across in RE6 is the J’avo, a mutated, mostly-human creature that has freaky spider eyes and a fondness for sprouting fucking chicken legs. They’re ugly and I was always happy to put them down. Cosplayer Toten2 has taken the J’avo’s… unique face and brought it into the real world. The results are a little gross. Check him out after the jump!

On Valentine’s Day, Capcom paid tribute to Jill Valentine, one of the main characters from the Resident Evil games. Yes, I know I’m late with this. Forgive me, for the Internet is vast and awfully difficult to keep track of. If you’re not as familiar with Ms. Valentine as you’d like to be and you have around ten minutes to get to know her a little better, this is definitely worth watching. Even if you’re crazy familiar with her and the Resident Evil games, it’s still interesting to see her character change over the years, from STARS officer to the badass, skin-tight suit wearing superhero Jill we know and love/hate today.

Fans of the classic Resident Evil games have been clamoring for Capcom to return the series to its roots in survival horror since forever, it seems. More often than not, when you ask an RE fan what their favorite entry in the series is you’re likely to hear them say either RE1, RE2, or RE4. Unfortunately, Resident Evil 0 often gets overlooked, despite being an awesome game. I don’t see very many cosplayers taking on the game, but Akusesu has filled this RE0 shaped hole in my aching heart with some fantastic renditions of Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen. Check them out after the break.

The GamePad is arguably the most exciting thing about the Wii U, and like most new technologies, it’ll likely take some time to reach its potential. It’s understandable that many developers are still trying find uses for it that actually gives us a reason to purchase the Wii U version of a multi-platform game. ZombiU used it in an interesting way by forcing you to look away the screen during potentially dangerous situations for inventory management and things like that. Resident Evil: Revelations will use it in the same way, but this time it’s optional. Capcom is giving us multiple ways to play, so if you want to use the GamePad you can do that, or you can use a Wii U Pro controller. What platform will you be purchasing Revelations on?

Capcom will soon be bringing the previously Nintendo 3DS exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations to pretty much every other console available right now, including the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U. It looks great, and while much of that can be attributed to the fact that it’s easily one of the best looking games on the 3DS, Capcom did work on improving the graphics with this version. After the break you can find our first ever look at HUNK in action, as well as a batch of screenshots that focus on fan-favorite Jill Valentine.

The latest and most polarizing entry in Capcom’s action horror franchise has been available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 since October, but PC fans still won’t get it until next month. In an effort to drum up interest in the upcoming PC version, Capcom has released some new gameplay footage from it that will look awfully familiar to anyone who’s played the game already, with a few exceptions. Of note is our first look at Mercenaries: No Mercy, the PC-exclusive version of the popular Mercenaries mode that throws more enemies at you at once. Seeing that many enemies on-screen at once is total anarchy. If you plan on getting Resident Evil 6 when it releases on PC, the two videos I have for you after the break should help give you an idea of what you’re in for. Or you could read our review.

So far, five million copies of Resident Evil 6 have sold worldwide, and for most games such an impressive number would be a huge success. The high development costs and even higher hopes Capcom had for the title, that isn’t the case, as it comes about two million short of their expectations. So what went wrong? Why, poor marketing, of course.

Adam and TJ finally return from their trip to the mountains where they got caught in a massive cave in. Things definitely got a little weird and they will probably never be the same. They did however record a new Dead Pixels podcast, where they discussed many things. They flew way off subject and talked about some movies they saw recently. They also discussed their list of the best horror games of 2012. They also went pretty deep into the world of horror games from the Playstation 1 and 2. They even went back in time and searched horror on the Atari and Colecovision. The boys get weird as usual, but that’s what you guys like best about the podcast. Right? READ MORE
