[Video] Capcom Parodies Japanese Pop Music in Newest Japanese ‘Resident Evil Village’ Ad

Published

While it’s safe to say that Capcom probably will never top their TV ad for the original Resident Evil 2, they can try with an entirely different route with Resident Evil Village. The latest Japanese ad for the upcoming title certainly has them going in an entirely “out there” direction (at least for Western audiences).

The ad in question (more like a music video, really) is done in a music video style that parodies Japanese pop music from the 1980s, sung by famous Enka singer Yoshi Ikuzo.

Capcom has taken Ikuzo’s iconic song “Ora Tōkyō sa Iguda”, redone the song’s lyrics and named it “Orera Konna Mura Iyada Lv.100.” The resultant video plays clips of Ikuzo performing and reacting to scenes found within Resident Evil Village.

And yes, even Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters show up (because at this point, why not?).

Resident Evil Village creeps onto the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Google Stadia, and PC via Steam on May 7th.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]

While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.

The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.

As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.

Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
