Resident Evil Trailer Shows The Sequence Where Its Star Almost Died For Real

During the September 3 State of Play , Sony debuted a new clip from the upcoming Resident Evil movie, and it was both dark and hilarious. That should be no surprise, as comedy and horror are naturally intertwined, and the movie is written and directed by sketch comedy veteran Zach Cregger. In the clip, we see Austin Abrams' character, the medical courier Bryan, running down a street in Raccoon City as zombies throw themselves off rooftops trying to catch him. They explode on impact, with blood flying everywhere....

MMOs Have “Stagnated,” Guild Wars 3 Studio Head Says

Guild Wars 3 developer ArenaNet wants to try "wild, crazy ideas" in a genre that, according to its studio head, has "stagnated" in recent years. During a hands-off demo where early Guild Wars 3 gameplay was shown to members of the press, I asked ArenaNet studio head Colin Johanson about the state of the MMO genre in 2026 and what problems Guild Wars 3 is looking to solve. He had plenty to say on the subject. Many MMO players are still playing the same games they were 10-20 years ago, Johanson said, citing...

Planet Coaster And Jurassic World Devs Frontier Have Teamed Up With Disney To Make What Is Probably A Disneyland Tycoon Game

Planet Zoo and Jurassic World Evolution creators Frontier Developments have signed a deal with Disney to make a game based on one of Disney's many entertainment worlds. Some immediate possibilities occur. You know what Frontier have a lot of? Theme park and resort management games. You know what Disney also have a lot of? Theme parks and resorts. If the fruit of their union isn't Disneyland Park Creator or some variation thereof, I'll eat Mickey Mouse's big yellow buttons.

The Mishap-Strewn Warfare Of Worms: Galactic Tactics Gives Hope It’s Not Just A Comedy XCOM

Gawd, everyone’s doing an XCOM these days. Star Wars is doing an XCOM . Rainbow Six is doing an XCOM . Warhammer 40K has done, like, four XCOMs. Those squeaky wiggletubes of Worms are at it too, with Worms: Galactic Tactics, a turn-based grid battler coming sometime in 2027. It’s a busy genre, then, though there might well be room for this one too. I played a few rounds with developers Absolutely Games at Gamescom last month and it shows real, shrewd promise, despite slaying some of the wider...

Onimusha: Way Of The Sword – The Many Means Of Mastery

I’ve been lucky enough to play through Onimusha: Way of the Sword ahead of launch and, among its incredible boss fights and fabulously grimdark story, one thing shines through above all else – for me, this is about as good as swordfighting has ever felt in a game. In part, that’s down to animation – […] The post Onimusha: Way of the Sword – The Many Means of Mastery appeared first on XBOX Wire .

The Witcher Remake Is Currently On The Back Burner Because Progress On It Depends On The Witcher 4's Development, CD Projekt Red Confirm

CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory might have used Gamescom to make clear that they've got a Witcher thing in the pipeline for this year and the next two , but they've also had to put one of their previously cat-eyed projects on hold for the time being. The remake of the first Witcher game is on the back burner right now, since the next stage of work on it requires more progress to be made on The Witcher 4 .
