nVidia Shows Off PC Visuals in ‘New Resident Evil 2’ Remake Trailer
Up until this point, the PlayStation 4 has had the monopoly on showing off Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2. nVidia has gone and changed all that with the premiere of the PC version of the game in this glorious 4K trailer.
Now, you’re probably asking yourself why nVidia, a video card manufacturer, is presenting this trailer? Well, at Gamescom, nVidia have announced a series of new RTX graphics cards that focus on raytracing technology, which is set to be the next big thing in the industry when it comes to lighting and graphics. I won’t go into the technical stuff (leave that to this page to explain it), but long story short, it’ll make your games look amazing.
I should mention that Resident Evil 2 is not one of the games that features the new raytracing tech, however. That belongs to Metro Exodus, which looks downright gorgeous. Then again, so does RE2.
Anyways, back to the trailer, which doesn’t really show anything that we already haven’t seen, other than the fact that this is on PC and not the PlayStation 4. Which looks damn amazing. No specs have been released yet in regards to what rig you’ll need to get the game looking this good (although it’ll probably involve selling a kidney).
Resident Evil 2 awakens on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on January 25, 2019.
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.
