Second Resident Evil 5 episode has playable Jill and Josh

December 16th, 2009 at 12:25pm Under Xbox 360

Are you bored with the unspoken, yet powerful sexual tension between Resident Evil 5’s protagonists, Chris and Sheva? Yeah, we are too — that’s why we’re so excited about these scans from the latest issue of Famitsu (as uncovered by Siliconera), which reveal that the second chapter in the game’s Alternative Edition DLC, titled Desperate Escape, will let you play as Jill Valentine and Josh Stone. In case you didn’t recognize that last name, Josh Stone is actually a pretty popular British female soul singer. Seems like a weird choice, but what-evs.

Okay, Josh Stone is actually the BSAA member who helps out Chris and Sheva throughout the game — mostly through the deus ex machina helicopter rescues for which the series is well-known. But wait — if you’re playing as Josh Stone, who’s going to come rescue you at the end of the game in a helicopter? This could be bad, folks.

Sheva and Chris getting new duds in Resident Evil 5 DLC

December 11th, 2009 at 06:45pm Under Xbox 360

If you’re desperately wanting to get your hands on some new glad rags for Resident Evil 5’s co-operative protagonists, then the expanded “Mercenaries Reunion” gametype in the game’s upcoming DLC should fulfill your sartorial fantasies. Sheva’s new outfit, nicknamed “Fairy Tale,” resembles Little Red Riding Hood’s garments, as reimagined by someone involved in the adult film industry. Chris’s new outfit, nicknamed “Warrior,” simply turns him into a person-shaped collection of fists.

Sheva’s duds can be seen in the video above, while Chris’s can be found just after the jump. Proceed with caution if you elect to view the latter — there’s a very real possibility that your eyeballs could get punched.

Marvel at Lost Planet 2’s enormous bosses in these new screens

December 2nd, 2009 at 09:30pm Under PC+ Xbox 360

We imagine it’ll be somewhat strange the first time we watch Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker being eaten by Lost Planet 2’s giant salamander boss, now named “Gordiant“. And watching the helmet-less antagonist desperately struggling to keep his hair just so while battling the third level’s boss, “Red Eye,” should prove comedic if nothing else. We just couldn’t help but put two and two together when looking at the new screens the game’s publisher released recently of three new bosses (including the eloquently named “Akrid X“), especially with the knowledge that we can play through the entirety of Lost Planet 2 as Resident Evil’s recurring villain still so fresh in our minds.

Sure, finding out that the ginormous monster that we battled in the demo is named “Gordiant” is just about as exciting as meeting Michael Bublé (swoon), but it doesn’t have quite the same charm as finally watching Wesker perish. The demo experience has certainly changed for us, though – now we have a name to direct all these profanities at while being repeatedly murdalized.

RE5: Lost in Nightmares teaser goes back to the mansion

November 20th, 2009 at 12:01pm Under Xbox 360

Jill Valentine knows what’s up: Only the most refined individual understands the elegance of the crank. Chris Redfield and his personal gun show may complain that an entire mansion is being run on the archaic device in this teaser for upcoming Resident Evil 5 DLC episode, Lost in Nightmares, but that’s because the dude doesn’t respect the crank’s noble history. We’re just glad one of the two survivalists has enough class to acknowledge the significance of history’s great gate opener.

Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition has an alternate episode

November 18th, 2009 at 01:15pm Under Xbox 360

The upcoming Alternative Edition DLC for Resident Evil 5 is going to include much more than motion controller support for PS3 and the “Lost in Nightmares” flashback episode. The latest issue of Japanese mag Famitsu (via Andriasang) notes that Capcom has two additional surprises for players: new costumes and new characters for a revamped “Mercenaries Reunion” (seen above), as well as an extra, yet-to-be-revealed chapter.

All this content will be released as four separate DLC packs:

“Lost in Nightmares” Episode – 400 ($5)
Costume Pack 1 – 160 ($2)
Costume Pack 2 – 160 ($2)
Additional TBA Episode – 400 ($5)

These prices are only confirmed for Japan, but it’s unlikely the US release will be too different. Will two new campaign episodes lure you back into Resident Evil 5’s monster safari?

Resident Evil 2’s soy boy returns for Darkside Chronicles

November 14th, 2009 at 06:30am Under Wii / Nintendo

We should have seen this coming, given that Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles recounts events from Resident Evil 2, but it never oc-curd to us: Tofu, the character from the hidden “Tofu Survivor” stage in RE2, will return for the Wii-exclusive rail shooter, as confirmed (or con-extra-firmed) in this trailer. But not as a protagonist: in Darkside Chronicles‘ Tofu Mode, many of the zombies are swapped out for gelatinous, crumbly, flavor-absorbing tofu.

After the break, enjoy a trailer featuring some alternate costumes for the playable characters, all of whom are made of meat, as far as we know.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer makes a mess of your browser

November 12th, 2009 at 07:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Remember that awesome ad starring Wario from back in the ought eight? Well, Capcom’s taken a page straight out of The Big N’s playbook and offered up an interactive Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer over at GameTrailers. The trailer doesn’t shake things up like Wario did, but it does make a comparable mess. If you’ve got children in the computer room or folks who cringe at that one scene in The Shining (you know, that one), then you may want to escort them out of the room before clicking through.

…

Done? Good. Now go enjoy yourself some zombie de-faceification.

New Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer

November 5th, 2009 at 08:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

Capcom has dropped the final Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles trailer, leading up to the game’s November 17 release. Rather than shower us with gameplay — though there is some in there — Capcom has opted to give gamers plenty of CG and lots of corny text. For example, did you know that Darkside Chronicles will “make your pulse race” and is “a terrifying gun shooting experience?” Well, it is, so you’d best deal with it.

Zombified Londoners take to the streets for Resident Evil

November 4th, 2009 at 02:00am Under Wii / Nintendo

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles may not come out until November 27 in the UK, but a gaggle of Resident Evil fans recently took to the streets to celebrate the impending release regardless. Following the end of the London Games Festival, Capcom organized around 50 undead at the Tate Modern for a good ol’ group shamble.

As you can see in the image above captured by The Tanooki, the event erred on the side of Shaun of the Dead rather than 28 Days Later. Though now that we think about it, we’re not sure if it’s more or less terrifying if zombies are smiling. We’re thinking more.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles cubecraft is sharp around the edges

November 2nd, 2009 at 02:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

If your fascination with the characters of the Resident Evil universe extends beyond the confines of each game, then you may like to know that Cubeecraft and Capcom Europe have teamed up to offer some papercraft versions of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles characters. With little more than a printer, some paper and the ability to fold strategically, you can make miniaturized and highly flammable versions of your favorite characters, perfect for reenacting scenes from the games. Well, unless your favorite character is Steve Burnside. He’s nowhere to be found, which may or may not be a really good thing.
