Director of Original ‘Resident Evil 2’ Talks With Remake’s Directors in New Video
Prior to the success of Devil May Cry 5, Capcom was already riding high with the success of the Resident Evil 2 remake (and still are). In fact, they’ve been releasing a series of roundtable interviews that feature the developers talking about the production and the response to the game. The latest one continues that topic, but also features a special appearance by the director of the original version of RE2 in Hideki Kamiya!
The video, which clearly demonstrates the camaraderie between the four developers, has the group focusing on a variety of topics, including the obvious changes made to the original game for the remake.
Kamiya also shares a few interesting tidbits from the original game’s production, including the idea of Leon being hungover and reporting to work a day late, which wasn’t included in the final game, but was included in the game’s manual. Kamiya explains that this bit was inspired by his own experience being dumped by his girlfriend right before Christmas, and getting drunk to cope. He realized that by going in to work on Christmas, everyone would figure out what happened, so he skipped that day.
And yes, the group discuss the famous Tofu Survivor minigame, and how its creation in the original game came to be. It’s a real joy to watch.
If you missed the first two videos, you can check them out here and here, respectively.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
