Alma is back and it is time to fear her once again. Yes, F.E.A.R. online is finally coming to Steam after it’s long ass beta test on areia games. For people who don’t know what F.E.A.R. is, it is an extremely kick ass first person horror game with the first one being released back in 2005 on XBOX 360 and Playstation 3. The series has spawned two sequels and now a free to play spin off is on its way to Steam this fall. It will be free and will feature both a co-op campaign and competitive multiplayer. I know I will be playing it the day it comes out and give a review of the game since my happy ass loves the F.E.A.R. games to death. F.E.A.R. Online has a scheduled release date for October 17.
The “Resident Evil” series has been up and down critically since the video game adapted to big screen franchise started back in 2002. Directed Paul W.S. Anderson and his leading lady wife Milla Jovovich have practically re-written the whole storyline of the “Resident Evil” video game series while blindly tossing in our favorite RE characters into the mix.
Today, the word hit on Jovovich’s Facebook that she’ll be flying to Cape Town to start production on the last “Resident Evil movie” entitled “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.” But here is the catch. Looks like production will be delayed due to Anderson and Jovovich expecting their second child. Anderson just delayed his own movie. Sigh.
Capcom announced today that the Resident Evil remake will be coming to current and next gen consoles in 2015. Not only will the graphics be updated in the game, but the control scheme of the game can now be switched between classic fixed camera angle controls or modern over shoulder controls.
Resident Evil HD will be coming to XBOX 360, XBOX ONE, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and PC
Occupant Entertainment and Deep Silver announced that they will be backing a screen adaptation of their 8-million copies sold, mega-hit “Dead Island”. Deep Silver is the video game publishing label for Koch Media, an independent theatrical and home entertainment productions company. Occupant is eyeing a Q1 production start date in 2015.
“Dead Island” revolves around a isolated beach resort over-ran by fast-paced, blood thirsty zombies. Apocalyptic zombie films have been a dime-a-dozen with today’s technology advancement relying more of CGI than practical effects, but Koch Media’s CEO Klemens Kundratitz says that “The “Dead Island” universe offers a rich and unique setting that can expand beyond the pure gaming experience. We are very much looking forward to seeing Dead Island open up to new audiences and showing off the fun everybody at Deep Silver has with this brand.”
My faith in Kundratitz’s statement is strong due to sheer fact that “JCVD”, “Before The Devil Knows Your Dead”, and “Moon” were solid, independent films in the last 5 years. Dead Island is set on a much bigger scale and in the grand scheme of things, Koch Media will have to step up their involvement and maybe help Occupant Entertainment some with more cash on the table. We’ve seen video game adaptations go south before. Of course, most failure credits reside with Uwe Boll, but there was also “DOA”, “Mortal Kombat Annihilation”, and “Max Payne.”
In June, “Dead Island 2” promo trailer was released and already has a million plus hits on Youtube and while the trailer is great and quirky, nothing out beats the announcement trailer for “Dead Island” with it’s dramatic, frightening reverse sequence.
