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.
