‘Resident Evil’ HD Remake Footage Goes Old School
Capcom isn’t afraid to show off the upcoming Resident Evil HD remaster, and that shows a level of confidence that makes me wonder if this return to a survival horror classic actually will be good enough to join the pantheon of great remakes — there aren’t many of those — when it arrives almost everywhere on January 20.
The future of this franchise rests on the success or failure of this remake and Revelations 2, so it better be good.
And because Resident Evil isn’t Resident Evil without all those doors, here’s a look at the some of the creepy doorways we can expect to walk through slowly when we return to the new-and-improved Spencer Mansion in January.
The Resident Evil HD remaster releases on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One for $19.99.
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.
