Let’s Talk About ‘Umbrella Corps’
Today, Capcom made good on their promise to bombastify their flagship horror franchise for the Call of Duty audience with the very first trailer for Call of Evil: Umbrella Warfare Umbrella Corps.
I’m getting strong F.E.A.R. Online vibes from this bizarre new addition to the Resident Evil series. I can’t see it being that bad, but what would be the best possible outcome here? I’m also struggling to understand the reasoning behind celebrating the 20th anniversary of a survival horror series with a multiplayer shooter that has no obvious ties to the genre.
I thought we had moved pass this. So much good has happened this year, with the stellar Resident Evil remaster and surprisingly progressive Revelations 2, and that good work was to continue into 2016 and beyond with the Resident Evil 0 remaster and the Resident Evil 2 remake.
Will Capcom ever get over the creepy obsession they have for the shooter crowd?
Umbrella Corps might surprise me, and I’ll be the first to find a way to call it umbrelievably awesome in my inevitable review. It might also be dead on arrival, making it more of an Umbrella… Corpse (sorry). Either way, we’re getting a new Resident Evil. Sort of. Okay, not really.
We don’t know enough right now for me to spend too much time whining about it. I’m more interested in getting your first impressions, anyway. So, what do you think?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
