More Rumours Surface Involving ‘Resident Evil 8’
Remember that rumour involving Resident Evil 8 a few months back? Well, Dusk Golem is at it again on Twitter, this time apparently verified by Video Games Chronicle. Even still, temper your expectations (and your many grains of salt).
According to the leak, Resident Evil 8 will release on current and next-gen consoles next year, and will feature a first-person perspective and a return for the previous game’s protagonist, Ethan Winters. However, the kicker is that the game was originally Resident Evil Revelations 3 at the start of development. The story goes that RE8 was originally going to be years away, but Capcom didn’t want a huge gap between RE7 and RE8, so that title got pushed to the side in favour of Revelations 3 (which was also in development at the time), and that was turned into RE8.
Moreover, as Dusk Golem mentioned months ago, the game will have many narrative and mechanical departures for the series. These include hallucination and insanity segments, as well as enemies based on mythical creatures, including werewolves. In addition, the game will apparently have a “Snowy Village” segment, and also have a theme of not being able to trust others.
Lastly, the game was going to be revealed at this year’s E3, but with that no longer in the cards, we could potentially see something later this month.
Again, none of this is confirmed (obviously), so take it all as before. Still, with the high that Capcom is on with Resident Evil 3 at the moment, why wouldn’t you want to capitalize on it?
Hot on the heels of the recent dev vlog, Mega Cat Studios has given prospective Lethal Wedding players more to chew on with a new gameplay trailer. The latest footage shows off the game’s over-the-top co-op action, as bride Joanna and her murderous mother-in-law turn a wedding into a war zone. And in keeping with its Zombies Ate My Neighbors inspirations, you’ll have a variety of items at your disposal, from ballistic balloon animals and acid-spewing trick flowers to grenade-launching bridal bouquets and the monstrous Bridezilla power-up.
This all coincides with the final week for the Lethal Wedding Kickstarter, which has continued to rake in contributions with over 300% of its initial goal. In fact, the latest goal has LucasArts legend Bill Tiller (The Curse of Monkey Island) bringing his iconic art style to the game with an alternate cover art:
When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across over 30 levels of carnage, all while juggling mother-daughter issues, wedding planning, and…literal jugglers.
Team up with a friend for intense couch co-op gameplay, and beware the innovative Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. You know what they say, “till death do us part!”
Lethal Wedding is currently in development for release on PC via Steam, and in physical form to the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.
