Which ‘Resident Evil’ Should Be Remastered Next?
The Resident Evil HD Remaster should arrive on your platform of choice later today, if it hasn’t already. I’ve seen variations of the same discussion pop up again and again since Capcom announced their plans to update the GameCube remake, and they tend to go something like, “I’ll play it, but Capcom should have revisited so and so Resident Evil first.”
I adored this remaster, but I get it. Until Capcom stops treating Resident Evil 2 like it’s the red-headed step-child of the bunch, I’m even inclined to agree.
How about you? Which game would you like to see them return to next?
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.
