From Experience, I can say that finding a PS5 right now is hard. Unreasonably hard, how… how did this happen? Right now it is effectively impossible to come across one of the devices in the wild, to the point where even if your a high budget film director who made a film based on a video game. Director Of Resident evil, Welcome to Racoon City, Johannes Roberts, has recently been feeling this strain.

As part of an interview with IGN, the topic of PS5 availability cropped up, to which Roberts Pleaded with the interviewer to help him find a console. Robers claims to have been unable to find a PS5 console anywhere. As a huge fan of the resident evil franchise, he wants to experience Resident evil village at its best, and is trying to avoid last gen versions of the game.

Elsewhere in the interview Roberts is asked his favourite title in the series, which he remarks is the remake of Resident evil 2. A game that no-doubt will be a major inspiration for the upcoming film.

Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, availability has been a major issue over the last year as chip shortages have had a knock on effect on the console industry, and its not likely to get better this holiday season. Some high profile celebrities have also been affected by this, with Jason Kelley who plays the protagonist of Deathloop needing Bethesda to supply him with a console just before the release of Deathloop.

Resident Evil: Welcome To Racoon City – Revisiting Horror Roots

Andrew Porter — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 13:44:35 +0000

“Let’s make a scary movie again.”

The infamous franchise’s latest movie, Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City, will hit theatres this week. Recent instalments of the historical series have often strayed off the horror path, swaying towards a Sci-Fi approach. It seems like this is not the case with the upcoming film, as the Director has affirmed that it is an actual horror film at its core.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, director Johannes Roberts opened up about his desire to capture the chills and thrills of the iconic games.

“I’m a horror guy. I’m a Stephen King guy. I’m a John Carpenter guy. All those things are sort of built into the fabric of this movie,” Roberts explained. “I was just like, ‘Let’s make a scary movie again.'”

There are different types of horror throughout the video games, with the latest couple of entries feeling very different from the early games. For Roberts, Resident Evil 2 was the one that helped him lock in the tone, showing him exactly what kind of movie he wanted to make with Welcome to Raccoon City.

“I remember playing that second game and going, ‘This is the movie. This is it,'” the filmmaker added. “It just blew me away completely. The aesthetics of it, the tone, the mood. I was like, ‘This is the cornerstone of what we’re going to do.'”

There are loads of Resident Evil games out there, many of which keep up with the Raccoon City storyline. Nothing has been ordered yet, but Roberts is undoubtedly interested in bringing more movies to life in the future.

“I think [Welcome to Raccoon City] sets everything up really well, an origin story for each of our characters,” he said. “I think it would be really important to me that we don’t just use this as a springboard to then just go off into our own crazy world. I think there’s so much in the games that is so fascinating and exciting that I would really love to continue to explore that.”

In other news, October and November have seen some big next-gen titles released, including Call of Duty: Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, FIFA 22, Far Cry 6, and Left 4 Dead’s spiritual successor, Back 4 Blood. You can again purchase all of these titles, as well as pre-ordering Elden Ring and any other titles from our Go2Games website.

Resident Evil Movie Trailer Breakdown!

Stefan Saranta-Pasley — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 10:49:01 +0000

In the immortal words of a certain sitcom series depicting Mario and Luigi as GTA characters, “Racoon City sounds lovely”!

A new movie trailer dropped: Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City. Click here for a link to the Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City trailer. Now, let’s break down the good, the bad and the- HOLY MOTHER OF EINSTEIN BATMAN, THIS ONE HAS BRAINS!

We now observe the wild Licker, an iconic staple of action-horror gaming design. I’d like to say its head game is on point, except it has less of a head game and more of an exposed grey matter game! Pictured here, this Licker goes *ROARREEEAUUH*, which loosely translates to “we’re coming to get you Barbara”.

I swear, between this and the shockingly horrifying turnip Jack O’Lantern origin I wrote about, may have an easier time finding scary stuff to poke fun at this Halloween season than I thought. Getting back on track now!

For starters, looks like this film will actually be one of the first to attempt actually capturing the tone of the original games! Sure, you have the scary zombie boys and all, but you also have moments of action-packed fun sprinkled to the tune of What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes, which really captures some good ol 80s and 90s campy cheesiness! I mean, let’s not mince words, that song’s more commonly known version is “the meme where He Man goes HEEEAH YEEEAH YEEAH YEAH YEAH” for a reason!

Outside of that, the trailer also seems to be mixing up plot points from the first two Capcom Resident Evil games, what with the titular monster-infested Raccoon City, references to the villainous corporation Umbrella Corps and the protagonist of Claire Redfield, recurring character of many Resident Evil games. In addition, one point in the trailer features the characters discovering a zombie having a private feast before slowly turning around with a menacing stare is an homage to Resident Evil 1.

Speaking of deep-cut references, the trailer also teases some plot points from ‘Resident Evil: Code Veronica’, trailer Claire’s stumbling on a film reel of Umbrella Corps’ shady dealings being an important scene in Code Veronica. There’s also a film reel labelled ‘The Ashford Twins’ that gets briefly pushed aside, two other important characters in Veronica. Whether or not the characters will have watched that film reel or it’ll be used as just a cheeky easter egg for potential sequel-baiting, we’ll have to wait and see. By and large though, seems likely the film will be adapting at least some version of Resident Evil: Code Veronica’s story. I mean, if that storyline is so good that it’s sequel-worthy, just use that storyline now and make a great film first try, Bob’s your uncle. Just take a page from Marvel and use the best bits as window dressing from multiple stories while threading them together naturally with unique story elements.

Ashford Twins reel: Major plot point or cheeky reference?

With the leaked Capcom information of a Resident Evil 4 game remake in the works, it’ll be great if this film’s borrowing Code Veronica’s story results in a remake of that game, fans would be pleased. Heck, maybe this film could end up paving the way for a Resident Evil 4 film adaptation, who knows.

The Capcom ransomware attack and assorted trusted leakers have also claimed plans of a Switch-exclusive Resident Evil game may be on the horizon. Till we find out more on that, stay tuned on November 24th when Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City releases in cinemas!
