‘Resident Evil 0’ Producer Has More to Say About the Upcoming Remaster
Capcom is Unstoppable, as in that movie about a runaway train that was way better than a movie about a runaway train had any right to be. After a few failed attempts to make a Resident Evil game that didn’t piss everyone off, they’ve gone into overdrive. The 5-games-in-1 approach clearly didn’t work out for Resident Evil 6, so they’ve switched tactics.
Now they’re giving us all the Resident Evils.
It begins in January with the arrival of the Resident Evil 0 remaster and the Origins Collection it comes packaged in, followed by the Umbrella Corps spin-off soon after. Then we have the still far-off Resident Evil 2 remake and the unofficial-but-definitely-coming Resident Evil 7. And two feature-length films, which Capcom supervises.
It all begins with Resident Evil 0, so I’m going to shut up now so the game’s producer Tsukasa Takenaka can tell you all about it.
Resident Evil 0 is slated to hit PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in January. For a more in-depth look at the game, here’s a series of developer diaries: PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4.
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
