Capcom Asia Using Life-Sized Lady Dimitrescu Standee From ‘Resident Evil Village’ in GameStop
Well, you knew Capcom was going to do something like this.
Capcom Asia decided to up their advertising game (and feed more fan fascination) by providing GameStop stores in Hong Kong with a life-sized 1:1 standee of Resident Evil Village antagonist Lady Dimitrescu. In case you need a reminder, Lady Dimitrescu is well over nine feet tall.
And as expected, fans are taking advantage of the standees with pictures and the like. No word on if the lady vampire will be making her way West, though you can be sure that we’d hear about it almost immediately.
Resident Evil Village will arrive May 7 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Google Stadia.

Survival Horror Rail Shooter ‘MEATHOOK’ Carves Up Steam on July 21 [Trailer]
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
