Gun Survivor 2?
With the recent announcement of Biohazard exclusive to GAMECUBE some analyst are wondering if Capcom will still release Survivor 2 for the PS2. Chances are they will transfer all their teams to work only on the Cube, which means Gun Survivor 2: Code Veronica will indeed see the light of day on its new console of choice. We'll keep you posted on the latest.

Code: Veronica X
IGN PS2 recently posted their review of RE: CVX and while it received lukewarm ratings it is understandable seeing as how the Dreamcast version was released almost two years ago. You can read the review right here.

House of the Dead Film
Although isn't related directly to RE it is significant in light of all the new announcements. Mark Altman will lead the production of the film adaptation of HOTD, a hugely popular Sega arcade game where you blast zombies.  The correlation to RE is that we may see a short resurgence of zombie films thanks to these two games and their respective films. IGN FilmForce reported this story just in the aftermath of the RE news overload.  IGN reports, "The story is set on an island off the coast of Florida that is inhabited by zombies..." and "...will introduce a new baddie". Photography will begin this January with a budget of around $15-20 million.

Resident Evil: Gaiden on Game Boy Color

7.jpg (29974 bytes)Did you feel cheated when Capcom cancelled the beautiful looking Resident Evil port for Game Boy a few years ago? Your feelings of betrayal did not occur in vain as Capcom has been working on a new project ever since called Resident Evil: Gaiden. According C&VG the story revolves around Barry Burton and Leon Kennedy in their quest to take down Umbrella once and for all. The graphics are very reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid for the GBC with small characters in large environments. We'll keep you updated on this surprise announcement from Capcom. Talk about it in the Resident Evil Forum.

GAMECUBE/GBA
A Review Of Resident Evil On GAMECUBE

The announcement happened in the wake of incident in New York but it was a relief to those wishing to escape all the horrible news. Capcom made clear their plans to release Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) only on the GAMECUBE and other Nintendo consoles. That's right folks it's only on Nintendo and wait till you see what they have in store! The first game on the list is a remake of Biohazard/Resident Evil for the Cube. We're not talking a simple remake either we're talking about total reinvention the likes you've never seen. Just check out these pictures and you too will believe the power of the Cube. Also IGN Cube has a nice comparison on the major differences between the two versions. (Obvious differences due to a huge leap in power) Also it has been reported that RE2, 3 and Code Veronica will be ports rather than remakes. Don't be surprised if the ports look significantly better than the originals. (Brand new character models, etc. Talk about it in the Resident Evil Forum.

Film
Resident Evil: Ground Zero (Movie)

news_res_evil_04.jpg (30324 bytes)The latest details from IGN and Resident Evil Forum reveal a release date for the new RE movie for April 5, 2002.  The movie, which is a prequel to the original Resident Evil, will host a set of new characters including Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez as the main stars and will feature many popular RE monsters from both RE1 and RE2. IGN gathered some spicy info about specific monsters making appearances as well as other aspects:
"...the filmmakers have included many specific details from the games, such as zombie dogs and the "Licker". A few movie sequences are even copied from the games, such as the underground train from Resident Evil 2." Also check
news_res_evil_12.jpg (29814 bytes) out REF as they've posted the latest stills from Ground Zero, which show off the dark gritty look of the film. It's also reported that the movie will not rely on the showy computer generated effects and in turn will primarily focus on the zombies. This is good news for those hoping for a zombie movie revival. (Which could be the case with the promising House of the Dead film coming soon) Fans should also rest easy about not seeing a Tyrant-like creature during the finale of the film. Source promise a biological nightmare that will keep you awake at night. One last thing before we wrap up this movie report: Rodriguez told Sci Fi Wire in a recent interview that there was "zombies, nothing but zombies". Sweet dreams my readers. Talk about it in the Resident Evil Forum.

Action Figures
Resident Evil: Series 2 from Palisade

Licker.jpg (33232 bytes)Palisade recently released its First Series of what will most likely become the most popular action figure line of the year, Resident Evil. Move over McFarlane cause Palisade has released some of the most detailed figures in history and their Second Series is ready to dethrone any Movie Maniacs model and set a new standard for grotesque creatures. The best of the new batch is far and away the Zombie Cop/Licker bundle, which has to be seen to be believed. The other new arrivals are an Alexia 2-pack and the infamous Mr. X. The figures from Series 1 were fully articulated while retaining an absurd amount of detail. Talk about it in the Resident Evil Forum.
