This First Developer Diary For ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Shows Us Deep Horror Roots

A big issue a lot of gamers have with the most recent Resident Evil games is that Capcom is pulling further and further out of the horror genre. Resident Evil: Revelations is the exception. When creating the game developers wanted to recreate some of the feelings and fears players got from earlier games in the series. But one has to wonder if such a thing could ever be the same again. Sure you can add more scares and less action, but you can’t take away the crystal clear graphics and updated game play. Or could you? Head past the break to see the 1st developer diary “Heritage and Horror” for Resident Evil: Revelations. May 21st on the PC, Playstation 3, WiiU, and Xbox 360. Also keep an eye out for the games demo which you can find soon in all the platforms online shops.

‘Batman Arkham Origins’ Announced, Excitement Rioting Ensues

Yes you heard it right, it looks as if our pal Bruce Wayne will be going the Lara Croft route. Batman Arkham Origins will take Batman back to the early days of his career. The game takes place years before the events of Arkham Asylum and before crime has overcome Gotham. You will play as an unrefined Batman, and meet a lot of classic characters in the story of an up and coming Batman. Also announced is Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. It allows you to continue the Origins campaign on Nintendo and Sony’s handheld systems. Blackgate will be a 2.5D “companion game” to Origins. Origins will be releasing October 25th of this year on the PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and WiiU. Head past the break if you’d like to gander at some pack shots.

ZombiU

Award Winning Composer Cris Velasco To Score ZombiU

If you haven’t heard the name Cris Velasco there is still a good chance you’ve played one of the games he’s scored. Such titles as Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Darksiders, Tron: Evolution, Prototype and Clive Barker’s Jericho are just a few in the long list of games he has scored. Well he will be adding one more to his resume by creating the score for the WiiU exclusive ZombiU. Velasco is going to haunt our dreams with such sounds as “detuned toys and instruments, carnival organs, distorted guitars, and haunting ambient textures, contrasted with the intimate emotion of piano and string quintet compositions.” That right there is almost enough reason for me to buy a WiiU. November 13 the game will be released.

Handheld Games Look Out, Here Comes ‘ZombiU’

I don’t really play handheld games. I tried so hard to play handhelds but I just can’t do it. I don’t know what it is but I can’t sit still when I play handhelds. I have a.d.d. or something. But ZombiU, it looks like a game changer. And with the WiiU handheld hybrid, it’s the perfect game for me to disconnect and take into the bathroom. Check out this behind the scenes video below to get an awesome look into the games location. ZombiU will be available on the WiiU’s launch day, November 18th in North America.
