Capcom Continues Support Of ‘Resident Evil 6’ With Second Title Update, Coming Jan 22
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.
Here’s a full list of what Title Update 2 offers:
Agent Hunt mode
-Now available without completing the game first
-Selectable criteria before joining a session: Stage, Region, other settings like Infinite Ammo and Friendly Fire
Stage Selection
-Individual stages within chapters can be accessed any time once completed
General updates
-QTE assist: Players can optionally activate QTE assist from Amateur difficulty inside any other difficulty level (handy for fighting a certain boss at the end of Leon’s campaign on Professional…)
-Some areas have had their difficulty adjusted based on feedback
Have a question? Feel free to ever-so-gently toss Adam an email, or follow him on Twitter and Bloody Disgusting.
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.
