Resident Evil 6 Officially Unveiled, Feast Your Eyes On The Official Trailer!
Well guys and gals, your patience has finally paid off. Just as it said it would, the No Hope Left site has been updated with a link to the Resident Evil 6 channel on youtube, where you can find the game’s trailer in a plethora of languages. The November 20, 2012 release date is also official, as are all my hopes and dreams that this game would mark the series’ triumphant return to horror and zombies.
In case you care, while the game hasn’t been rated, it will contain “Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language.” Nice. Check out the very impressive trailer after the jump!
Leon shoots the president, who turns out to be a zombie? Another virus infects the city of Tall Oaks, transforming it into another Raccoon City-like wasteland, brimming with actual zombies? It also looks like that mysterious third character is a the red-haired mercenary in the latter half of the trailer who has very special blood.
Some other notable features we can glean from the trailer is the addition of strafing (fucking finally), and a Gears of War style cover system. Hell. Yes.
Update: I just received a press release confirming the game’s release on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
What do you think?
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
