[Updated] ‘Resident Evil’ Official Site Features Countdown Timer, Capcom Main Site Teases Separate Timer

Published

on

UPDATE: It turns out that the timer on the Resident Evil website was a countdown to a revision of the website itself. No new goodies are to be found, sadly.

A mysterious countdown timer has appeared on Capcom’s official site. And while that might not necessarily mean much to some, at the same time, the Japanese Resident Evil (aka Biohazard) portal has something funny going on with its own countdown timer.

The countdown timer is set to end on February 20 at 10pm PT / February 21 at 1am ET, with no indication as to what it’s counting down. At the same time, the countdown on the official Biohazard website has it expiring February 15 at 4pm JST / 2am ET. While the two appear to be unrelated, one can’t be too careful.

As for what Capcom’s reveal is on the Resident Evil site, you’ve got your upcoming Resident Evil Village DLC, your still-not-announced Resident Evil 4 remake, and the perpetually-delayed Resident Evil RE:Verse.

Again, speculation is the name of the game, so we’ll have to wait.

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]

Published

on

For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.

For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.

The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.

Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.

Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.

The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:

  • Level design changes
  • Puzzle redesigns
  • Performance optimizations
  • New immersive audio system
  • Controller support
  • New menu interfaces

If you’re looking to check out the game before buying it, you can check out the demo that’s also available on Steam.
