Capcom Talks Remaking ‘Resident Evil 2’
In a video interview posted earlier today, producers Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and Yasuhiro Anpo discuss their experience working on various games in the Resident Evil franchise, as well as the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 2.
Hirabayashi previously worked on the GameCube remake of the original Resident Evilits HD remaster, which released last January. Anpo started as a programmer on the first two games before going on to direct Resident Evil 5 and Revelations 2. These guys clearly know this series. And since this is a fairly lengthy video, if you’re mostly interested in the remake, they don’t get into that until the last two minutes. The rest is absolutely still worth watching, especially if you’re interested in hearing about the now legendary Resident Evil 1.5.
There’s no “big” Resident Evil 2 news to be had here, aside from their mentioning a formal announcement of the remake’s director in the near-ish future. Still, it’s nice to see them get relatively excited about realizing a game that fans have been eager to get for nearly two decades.
“As someone who worked on the original [Resident Evil], I have great memories of it,” says Anpo. “The [GameCube Remake] is so amazing, I want to use those memories to try to catch up to and even supersede it with a new, modernized version of Resident Evil 2.”
“We know just upgrading the graphics isn’t enough,” adds Hirabayashi. “So we’re working very hard to make a game you’ll really love, so please look forward to it!”
Oh, don’t you worry. We’re definitely looking forward to it.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
