It’s Your Right to Dress Like a Fool in ‘Resident Evil 0’
Heads up: this video for the upcoming Resident Evil 0 remaster has dumb DLC and pre-order incentives. In an effort to motivate you to reserve your copy right away, they’re offering some spectacularly awful character costumes as pre-order incentives. The two costumes are ‘Wolf Force Billy’ and ‘Cheerleader Rebecca’, so they’re named in such a way that you can have a very accurate idea of how bad they are without even looking at them.
In combining two things I loathe about video games, Capcom has gotten me angry at cheerleaders, and that’s not okay. They don’t deserve that. Shame on you, Capcom.
Oh well. They probably deserve some points for consistency.
I don’t mean to take a poo on this game, especially since it looks like it will match the fantastic Resident Evil remaster that released back in January. My problem is costumes either need to be outrageous or cool, and I wouldn’t use either of those words to describe what we have here.
I appreciate the Deadly Silence nod with Billy’s costume, even if it’s a little too reminiscent of one of Chris’ alternate costumes in Resident Evil 5. I’m sure the cheerleader outfit will have its supporters, and if you’re one of them, wouldn’t you rather see something a wee bit more original, like Sheva’s fairytale outfit? Just an idea.
Resident Evil 0 releases on January 19 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
