‘Resident Evil: Revelations 2’ Has Its Eye On You
I’m going to be honest with you. It may not be newsworthy, but the real point of this post is so I could share this awesome Resident Evil: Revelations 2 key art Capcom released alongside the game’s announcement trailer. If the one I have below is too small, I have a bigger one here. This art is clearly a twist on the first game’s box art, only it’s been transformed into something that looks borderline hellish. I hope this is a subtle hint at a more serious, scarier and darker game.
Pretty cool, right?
Because Capcom announced Resident Evil: Revelations 2 in Japan, that meant the news broke very early in the morning here in the States. I caught it as it happened because I’m a nocturnal creature who thrives on Monster drinks and stale Subway sandwiches.
Normal folks don’t live like me, and since I’m almost positive there are at least a few normies out there who read Bloody Disgusting, here’s that bizarre live-action trailer Capcom used to announce the sequel again, just in case.
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in early 2015.
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.
