In the last two years we’ve seen the release of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D and Revelations for the 3DS, Resident Evil 6, Operation Raccoon City, as well as the re-release of Resident Evil 4, Code Veronica X, Umbrella Chronicles, and Darkside Chronicles (the latter two came bundled together). That’s a lot of Resident Evil, perhaps too much, says Revelations producer Masachika Kawata.

Speaking with Video Gamer, Kawata admitted that “putting on a lot of titles [does] not necessarily win over gamers.” More after the break.

[OMFG] Capcom Confirms ‘Resident Evil’ Will Return To Its Roots With Possible Reboot

Resident Evil fans rejoice! Capcom has heard your pleas for help and they’re acting on the dissatisfaction many of you felt while playing Resident Evil 6… and Resident Evil 5. Masachika Kawata, who has been a producer on the franchise for some time now, recently spoke with IGN about Revelations’ upcoming HD port to consoles. I think a lot of what people want now is to have Chris and Jill in a game, or they want it to look like Resident Evil used to look like. That’s what makes the game work for them. We should be able to start from scratch and reboot it. It would still be Resident Evil. We wouldn’t lose the essential nature of what makes it a good game just by changing the characters.” Kawata told IGN.

Did I hear you say “start from scratch and reboot it” Kawata san? My oh my, I do believe I’ve fallen in love (that sentence is best read in a breathy Victorian woman’s voice). More after the break.

Did enough people drop $1,300 for that insanely overpriced Leon’s Jacket Edition of Resident Evil 6? Apparently they did, because Capcom’s announced a Jill’s Watch Edition — okay, fine, it’s called the Premium edition — for Resident Evil: Revelations, which is coming to consoles on May 21st. Now they’re giving you another chance to own a piece of Resident Evil apparel by including the watch Jill Valentine wears in Revelations, as well as the soundtrack, a BSAA wallet, and copy of the game. You can get all this for the low price of ¥39,900 or a little under $470 USD.

Capcom Confirms ‘Resident Evil 6′ Coming To PC In March, Unveils New “Siege” Mode For Consoles

It took a little longer than expected, but come March 22, Resident Evil 6 will finally make its way to the PC. Since you’ve been so patient, Capcom has included a variant of the Mercenaries mode, dubbed “No Mercy,” which will be exclusive to the PC version of the game. Basically, it throws more enemies as you. The PC version will also bring with it the tweaks made in the recent console updates. Capcom also revealed a new mode that will be coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game that sounds an awful lot like an escort mission you can experience with your friends. See that in action after the break.

How Will ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Look On Consoles? Wonder No More

In case you missed it, earlier today Capcom confirmed that the previously Nintendo 3DS exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations is indeed coming to consoles. All of them, in fact. On May 21st, Revelations will hit the retail and digital space on the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U. It’ll also run you a pretty penny, or 4,999 of them ($49.99). That’s a lot for a port of a year-old handheld game, even if it’s a good game. I was hoping there would be more to this port and that Capcom wasn’t trying to recoup some of the money they lost on Resident Evil 6, and it looks like this will bring the goods.

Visually, it looks noticeably better than the 3DS version, even if it still won’t be mistaken for similarly priced games, and it will come with several new additions, including a playable HUNK, a harder difficulty setting, and new weapons and custom parts. After the jump I have a trailer and a still very wet batch of screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

It’s Official, Capcom Confirms ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Is Coming To Consoles

Hold onto your butts! Resident Evil: Revelations, arguably the best Resident Evil released last year, is coming to consoles. Mercifully, Capcom has decided to release it after the craziness that is Feb-March. Revelations will be coming to the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U on May 21 in the states and May 24 in Europe. In an unexpected move, Capcom is making the game available digitally and on retail, only the Xbox 360 and Wii U versions will release sometime after it comes to the PS3 and PC on the 21st.

Now, before you get too excited, there is a small catch. This baby is going to run you $49.99. Yeah, that’s just $10 less than a full retail game for the port of a handheld title that’s nearly a year old now. My prediction of a $20 digital-only release was way off, it seems. Hopefully this means they’re going to do more than just port it over. If you care about them (I totally do), here’s a list of cheevos that were leaked earlier this month. Now that it’s official, is this something you’re interested in?

Whether or not you enjoyed Resident Evil 6 (I liked it a lot) there’s no denying that Capcom is doing a fantastic job supporting the game. First, they gave Ada a co-op partner, a tweaked camera, and a No Hope difficulty setting, and in less than a week, a second update will bring with it even more features. On January 22, Agent Hunt mode will be unlocked for everyone and QTE assist will be added for all difficulties (thank you). More after the jump.

As far as trailers go, this is a busy one. Lots of music, action, demons, and Dante just ruining everyone’s day, including a poor little girl who only wanted to drink her tentacle cola. It’s a gorgeous CG trailer, and while I’m usually not a fan of these because they never show us any actual footage from the game they’re promoting, we’ve already seen plenty of gameplay from DmC, which you can find here, here, and here. It’s a fun watch, check it out after the jump.

Christian Svensson, Capcom’s Corporate Officer and Vice President, has taken to the company’s official blog to ask what fans want from the studio regarding their digital releases. The survey is comprehensive, covering pretty much every series the company has developed, from Dino Crisis to Mega Man, Street Fighter, and of course, Resident Evil. If you’ve been patiently waiting for a digital installment in the Resident Evil franchise, like say, a port of Resident Evil: Outbreak or a new Outbreak/multiplayer style RE game, then here’s your chance to let your voice be heard. Interestingly, they also included “New game types in the RE universe (strategy, tactics, RPG, etc.)” in the list of games you can vote for. A Resident Evil RPG, you say? Where can I sign up for something like that?

Capcom Lowers Sales Expectations After ‘Resident Evil 6′ Underperforms

I feel bad dropping so much bad news today. Between The War Z, THQ’s filing for bankruptcy, the apocalypse, and this — today just isn’t a great day for gamers. It should come as no surprise that Resident Evil 6 didn’t sell as well as Capcom wanted it to, and this underperformance could spur the publisher to give the franchise another much-needed reboot. Overall, Capcom is bracing for a whopping $1.8 billion loss in their net sales for the year, which they’re attributing to Resident Evil 6 sales and the delay of Monster Hunter 4.

In related news, those multiplayer modes promised us released on the Xbox 360 today. You can buy them individually for 320 MSP, or get them all for 720 MSP.

Between its four campaigns, Mercenaries, and the new Agent Hunt mode, Resident Evil 6 is already jam-packed with content. Soon, it’s going to be even more content heavy, assuming of course you’re willing to drop the cash for the three new modes Capcom is releasing for the Xbox 360 version of the game. You can be selective about it if you’re willing to pay 320 MSP to get them individually, or you can grab them all for the collective price of 720MSP. The modes are Onslaught, Predator, and Survivors, and they sound intriguing enough. See them in action after the break.

First Batch Of ‘Resident Evil 6′ Content Coming To Xbox 360 On December 18th

Capcom’s releasing the first batch of new game modes for Resident Evil 6 exclusively on the Xbox 360 later this month, with the other platforms getting it sometime later. The downloadable content includes Predator, Survivors, and Onslaught, which you can get individually for 320 MSP or all three for 720 MSP. No word yet on when the DLC will make its way to the PS3 or PC, but I assume there’s a (hopefully short) window of exclusivity for Microsoft’s console. The game was met with a lukewarm reception when it released back in October, but I loved it, so don’t let that keep you from playing one of the year’s most ridiculously fun co-op games. Resident Evil 6 is a wacky, over-the-top action game that brings together bits of many past Resident Evil games, but heavily draws from the last two. More on the new modes, including a bunch of screenshots, after the jump.

‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Could Soon Be Coming To Consoles

Capcom didn’t have as much luck with their slew of Resident Evil releases this year as they probably hoped they would. Sure, they sold like crazy, but Operation Raccoon City was criticized for being a generic squad-based shooter that was void of any real scares and Resident Evil 6 surprised (almost) everyone when it tried to do everything and only managed to completely polarize critics and fans alike. I enjoyed both to varying degrees, but the real gem, and the one game I wasn’t able to play this year, was Resident Evil: Revelations. It looks like its 3DS exclusivity could soon change, as the Korean Ratings Board has recently listed the title for a release on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Whether that comes in the form of a full retail release or to the digital space, that would be amazing.

The Resident Evil series has brought us some incredible guns over the years. The Broken Butterfly? Yes please. Samurai Edge? Oh yeah. Red 9? Mmm, baby, say that again just a little more slowly.

Their new SIG p226 has been customized to fit in the Resident Evil universe. Check it out after the jump.

Your odds of winning are pretty good, so there’s really no reason not to participate. Plus, every time you comment, a zombie learns how to love. Think of the zombies.

A few days ago a box arrived on my doorstep, and after I had opened it, observed its contents, and gotten over the wave of disappointment that washed over me after I realized it wasn’t a baby or small animal being left to my care — I started to plan. Inside this box I found a ton of Resident Evil 6 goodies, including three special editions of the game, two normal copies (all for the Xbox 360), over a dozen t-shirts in a variety of sizes, and a bunch of Geltabz that you can slap on your controller to make it roughly 65% more sexy. I fought the urge to toss it all in my bathtub so I could proceed to swim in it like the King of Swag that I’ve long aspired to be, so I could instead give it to you. Why? Because you make my world go round. Head past the break to find out how you can get your hands on some of this.

There’s a title update coming to Resident Evil 6 that’s going to make some pretty big changes, including a new difficulty mode, improved camera adjustment, more subtitle options, and perhaps most exciting of all, a new co-op partner for Ada. Since the update was first announced, I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Capcom would do with Ada’s partner, and now that I’ve seen her in action, she looks… like a faceless soldier. You might be saying, who cares?, to which I’ll reply — well, yeah, you’re totally right. I’d like Ada’s partner to add some interest to that scenario, but if she doesn’t, I’m all right with that too. Head past the break for more info on the update and a bunch of screenshots, all featuring Ada’s new companion.

Capcom Is Working On A Free Update For ‘Resident Evil 6′, Including Co-op Support For Ada’s Scenario

Here’s some good news for Resident Evil 6 fans — Capcom is prepping an update for the game that will bring with it a new difficulty mode dubbed ‘No Hope Left’, as well as co-op support for the previously single-player exclusive Ada scenario. Ada’s campaign will also be unlocked from the beginning, so you’ll no longer have to work for it, you lazy bum. “Said campaign was meant as a solo affair for Ms Wong, but odds are you’d like to play through it again with a pal – soon you can!” Capcom said on their blog, and I couldn’t agree more. Leon’s is easily my favorite of the bunch, and Ada’s may very well be a close second.

For those of you who might still be on the fence about the game, I suggest checking out our review. For the rest of you, who here’s played the game, and if you have, what do you think of it so far? Do you like what Capcom’s done with the game or is it time for another reboot?

The wait is finally over. What has already been a stellar year for horror fans is about to get even better with the long awaited Resident Evil 6. Capcom’s “throw everything and see what sticks” approach has resulted in four different campaigns that practically feel like their own games, the return of the highly addictive Mercenaries mode, and a new competitive Agent Hunt mode. Either this strategy has paid off, giving fans of the series a variety of different ways to enjoy this ambitious game, or everything could buckle under the weight of its lofty goals. Let’s find out.

Shusaku Uchiyama (Resident Evil 2) and Takeshi Miura’s (Resident Evil Code: Veronica) score for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will be arriving in retail and digital outlets on Oct. 9th. There is no word yet on the track list but it’s safe to say that based upon previous releases there will be more than a couple of tracks (I’m guessing between 30 and 45).

The game came out for the Nintendo Wii in late 2009 and follows the story of Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jack Krauser, Steve Burnside, and Chris Redfield as they retrace the terrifying ordeals of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica, but this time from an all-new perspective.

Well, it’s a really good trailer, and it never reaches a Dead Island announcement trailer level of depressing, so there’s that. I’m really loving the mature approach Capcom is taking with their marketing of the game. There were some deliciously cheesy trailers for Resident Evil 5, but the lessons have been learned and now we can all enjoy a genuinely good ad for what could very possibly be the biggest and most badass Resident Evil game to date.
