Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City

… and Leon Kennedy looks really shiny. There’s another Resident Evil game with a rather uninspired name on the way, and it looks like we’ll be playing it as a whole new cast of multi-lingual super-secret Umbrella soldiers – also they don’t seem very nice.

I’m honestly not sure what I think about the look of this new Resident Evil, but then again I was never sure what I thought about Resident Evil 5 either. It was a great coop experience, and there was a lot of fun to be had shooting zombies and other such things with a friend online or via split-screen, but it was definitely more action-based than fear-based, and unlike its classic fixed-position-camera predecessors, I wasn’t scared by it once.

While it’s clearly set in the original location of the series – Raccoon City – we’re going to be seeing it from the perspective of these brand new characters, who seem to have an interweaving story to that of Leon Kennedy’s in the time of Resident Evil 2. It kind of looks like they’re pushing even further in the action gameplay direction with this new game, too. However, at least it doesn’t appear to be all bright, sunny, day-time weather in this one:

    I recently played through Cult of the Lamb, a satirical take on the concept of running a demonic cult. It turns horrific things like sacrificial rituals, cannibalism and straight up gaslighting abuse into hilarious amusements by filtering everything through its cartoonish lens. You are a sheep, after all, and all your followers are sycophantic anthropomorphic […]

    Hello, world! This post marks the moment in time and space when BangClickReload got a little redesign and was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Every post before this point is rather old and might not look right, and unless I decide to go through them all to fix them, they’re going to […]

    GTA IV Video Editor

    Along with dozens of other impulse-purchases thanks (or no thanks) to the recent Christmas sale on Steam, we decided to get our hands on the entire GTA IV collection for about £6 in December, which right now has ended up being one of the best decisions we made last year. Why? The GTA IV video editor, that’s why! Next stop, Hollywood.

    FarCry 3 – Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

    FarCry 3

    FarCry 3 has been announced, with a pretty fun gameplay video from E3 and ay’thang. There’s a stealth aspect to it, some kind of CoD style points system for getting kills, and a Mohawk-wielding lunatic who doesn’t like you very much and has an obsession with the word ‘insanity’. So far, this looks like it could be a blast, but it’s hard to tell yet if there’s going to be any free-roam this time.

    Team Ico news – HD remakes, and The Last Guardian trailer

    Tokyo Game Show has kicked off, and the only game I was interested in has already been shown off. There’s been no new news of The Last Guardian for over a year, and the new trailer is as gorgeous, and intriguing as 2009’s E3 trailers. It seems to show a bit of gameplay, but is mostly in-engine footage of the big creature and the kid interacting. Having been getting rather excited at the thoughts of the game coming out soon, I now have to calm myself down as the supposed release date will be “Holiday 2011”, according to IGN. I don’t know what this means, exactly, but it’s obviously not going to be out anytime soon! In the meantime, I’ll have the HD remakes of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus to keep me busy, and that’s a fine compromise to me. Click below for trailers.
