‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Sells Well, Just Not As Well As Capcom Would’ve Liked
Capcom has confirmed that while Resident Evil: Revelations latest outing received solid reviews and successfully shifted over 900,000 units worldwide, it wasn’t quite as big a hit as they would’ve liked.
The HD version of the game launched on the Nintendo 3DS last January before coming to nearly every console on the market (PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U) this past May. It’s one of the better and more unnerving Resident Evil games I’ve played in some time, primarily because it does a fantastic job of bringing the series closer to its roots. I have nothing but fond memories of the game, but hearing about all these titles that have seen tremendous sales yet still manage to fall below their publisher’s expectations is really beginning to bum me out. There’s nothing wrong with selling close to a million copies of an HD version of a game that released nearly a year and a half ago.
If you want to see better sales, stop watering down the market with half-assed releases. Resident Evil 6, while fun, felt unfinished for an entry in the main series, and don’t even get me started on Operation Raccoon City or The Mercenaries 3D. Don’t you dare.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
