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!

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.

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!

Ubisoft released a brand new trailer for the delayed upcoming instalment to the Far Cry series and it looks more intense than ever

Far Cry 6 has been waiting to be released for a very long time and after its initial release date was pushed back from February to October 7, and now a brand new story trailer was released at Gamescom last night by Ubisoft.

The first-person shooter game casts players as Dani Rojas, a resistance fighter leading a modern-day guerilla revolution to liberate the fictional island of Yara, which is being dictated by the main antagonist, Anton Castillo, voiced by the incredible Giancarlo Esposito.

Far Cry 6 Story Trailer

The Far Cry 6 story trailer really shows how gritty the game will be by showing how ruthless Anton Castillo is as a dictator. It starts off by introducing him during a press interview after a group of rebels hijacked Castillo’s network Yaravision, where the interviewer asks the question if Viviro, a cancer cure Castillo has invented that sounds too good to be true, is produced by slave labour, and Castillo’s answer gives the audience a chilling indication at how heartless the man is and the lengths he is willing to go to, to make Yara a “Paradise”. It continues to show this portrayal of Castillo by showing clips of him grooming his son Diego (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) in his own footsteps- something that is also evident in the game’s official cover art with Castillo towering over his son. It shows the audience he is teaching Diego how to kill and later on, shows Castillo giving Diego a gun in what seems like an execution.

The trailer shifts to the protagonist’s perspective, Dani, where we start to see the familiar traits and themes of the Far Cry games as the protagonist is placed in a wilderness environment where they must help fight against one or more despots that control the region. We learn Dani is the last survivor after Castillo ordered a boat full of people to be shot, and the trailer takes us through Dani’s story of joining the resistance that is fighting against Castillo and his people.

Far Cry 6 has been advertised as the “largest and most ambiguous open world yet” for the franchise and we start to see that as the trailer takes us through the land of Yara. For the first time, players will be able to experience a sprawling capital city, Esperanza, which we get glimpses of during the rebel’s mission to overtake Castillo’s reign. It also shows the intensity of the mission Dani is facing with fast action sequences in various vehicles (a tank even makes an appearance) and shows off the brand new weapons players will get to experience in the gameplay.

Ubisoft has really used impactful cinematography and suspenseful storylines for this latest Far Cry game and it is sure to be something fans are excited to experience when it drops.

Fry Cry 6 comes will launch on October 7 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC and its available to pre-order from Go2Games here.
