‘Resident Evil’ HD System Requirements Aren’t That Evil
A week is all that’s left standing between us and the triumphant HD return of the Resident Evil remake that originally released for the GameCube in 2002. I’ve been playing it for my review — also coming next week — and boy is it tough. Either that, or I’m getting progressively worse at playing these sorts of games, and I sincerely hope that isn’t the case.
Capcom has released some PC requirements so the PC Master Race can better prepare their minds, bodies and PCs for the horrors that lurk in the darkened halls of the remastered Spencer Estate. If you have a relatively decent rig, playing this game shouldn’t be a problem.
Don’t forget, you can pre-order the game now on all platforms. Doing so on Steam will net you the game’s soundtrack and a digital artbook, while pre-ordering the PS3/PS4 version will unlock Cross-Buy so you get both for the price of one.

Resident Evil returns in HD on Jan 20 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
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.
