You are dead
People were already down on Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, the PlayStation 4 competitive shooter spin-off that Capcom announced at TGS 2015 earlier in the year. It was only going to take an eSports-esque trailer to push fans over the edge, then – and that's exactly what the publisher's delivered. This clip – which currently has...
TGS 2015 Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Gets Competitive on PS4
Dead to rights
Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots.

News See Resident Evil 0's Evolution Over the Years
Back from the dead
Resident Evil Zero may have originally released on the GameCube, but it was in development for the Nintendo 64 prior to that.

News Resident Evil Zero's Remaster Doesn't Look Too Rotten on PS4, PS3
Stand clear of the doors
We remember Resident Evil Zero looking pretty good back when it initially released on the Nintendo GameCube, so it's nice to see that the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remaster looks up to scratch. The title's first trailer is only around 90 seconds long, but we get a decent, bloody chunk of gameplay near the end...

News Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Vita Will Rear Its Ugly Head This Summer
Claire we go
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is one of the surprise releases of 2015 so far, serving up a slice of survival horror that's both spooky and self-aware.

Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (PlayStation 4)
Dead good
Resident Evil's been in a bit of a rut of late, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 never looked like it was going to break that cycle prior to release. With dated visuals, dodgy dialogue, and rudimentary third-person shooting, the title didn't exactly put its best foot forward in press previews. But this spin-off – a successor to the...

Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Four: Metamorphosis (PlayStation 4)
Dumb and dumber
Pin back your decaying lugholes and listen for a second: there are two endings to Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and one will leave you feeling significantly more satisfied than the other. In what's perhaps a nod to survival horror games of old, there's a throwaway choice in an earlier episode that completely changes the complexion of...

News Resident Evil: Revelations 2's Season Pass Ain't Playing Nice on PS4
Claire we go again
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been one of the biggest surprises of the year so far, but what's not a shock is that the Season Pass is broken on the PlayStation 4.

Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode One: Penal Colony (PlayStation 4)
Penal infection
You never know quite what you're going to get with Resident Evil anymore.

First Impressions Is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Rotten or Ripe on PS4?
Claire's accessories
Resident Evil: Revelations faced a tough test when we reviewed it on the PlayStation 3 a couple of years ago. At the time of its release in May 2013, this author had already played a meaty chunk of The Last of Us, and Jill Valentine's oceanic romp failed to really live up. In hindsight, it was perhaps a little unfair to expect...

Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This appears to be caused by some sort of problem with Sony's service, but the company has stated...

S.T.A.R.S. power
The Resident Evil "REmake" is frequently offered as an example of just how fantastic the series was back in the day.

News Here's a Really Bad Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Trailer
Resident rubbish
With the likes of The Last of Us and Hideo Kojima’s brilliant P.T. demo ripping up the survival horror rulebook, we’re not convinced that grotty prisons and hanging bodies are going to do the trick for Capcom anymore. This trailer for the episodic Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is beyond predictable, right down to the fact that...
News Wait, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Is an Episodic PS4 Game?
Blood curse
Considering that the original Resident Evil: Revelations was divided into distinct episodes like a DVD box set, we suppose that it’s not especially surprising to see its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel adopt a similar structure – but we can’t help but be a teensy bit thrown off guard. Capcom has revealed that the survival...
