Through Resident Evil 4 Afterlife, the whole setting turns back to an urban milieu where Milla Jovovich who is going to recapitulate her role as Alice would be taking on Zombies and creatures labeled as the Undead. I really don’t know who would welcome such a change in theme from various spots of those sandy deserts to an ultra-modern and sophisticated city like Los Angeles, but I am quite sure that the ones who had an aversion watching the action get underway in the deserted lands of barren region. for such sort of people, Resident Evil 4 Afterlife would hopefully be a sigh of relief.

Finding survivors and taking them to safety would be an ongoing mission of Alice in Resident Evil 4 Afterlife as well, as she dares her life by performing some death defying stunts and unbelievably ridiculous action sequences to save those survivors from getting in to the door that is to the undead world that is ajar. Pushing her standards to fight off the threat inflicted by the baddie-filled umbrella corporation she takes the path not taken, in the company of an old pal who runs into her at one instance.

Conceiving of an actual presence of a prospect that would lead them to a place of security in the City of Angels, Alice leads a pack of survivors from the front to Los Angeles as expected however things doesn’t fall in place as she thinks. She sees her companions are in their most perilous state worse than before when she touches down at LA with her companions. Would she be able to come out successful again, leaves us with an intriguing question; whose answers could be recognized once we come out of the theaters that are going to screen Resident Evil 4 Afterlife in near future.

It was confirmed back in July that a fourth RE movie was in the works, and that Milla Jovovich had signed up to reprise her role as Alice, the series’ protagonist. Resident Evil 4: Afterlife will take the action back into an urban setting; specifically a zombie-infested Los Angeles. The relatively short plot synopsis reads:

On a personal note, in Resident Evil 4 Afterlife I second this welcome change from the lands of forsaken desert to a hi-fi city like LA where mind-blowing graphics-enabled stunts would go well with its striking backdrop as opposed to what we saw and complained in the part that forewent. Though we have been assured of one change with respect to the location in Resident Evil 4 Afterlife, whether the movie would meet its expectation is certainly a million dollar question to answer.

Upcoming Nintendo 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations features two-player local and online co-op, as well as StreetPass support.

Confirmation comes from the Japanese Resident Evil: Revelations website, which has just been updated.

According to a translation on NeoGaf, it mentions the number of players is “1, 2 for Wireless Play”, and that it supports “Local Play, Internet Play, StreetPass and Slidepad.”

The news conflicts with Capcom’s June assertion that Revelations was a single-player only experience.

At E3 Capcom announced new playable character Parker Luciani, a Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance member who fights alongside series favourite Jill Valentine.

The announcement sparked speculation that the game would feature co-op play using the Nintendo 3DS Wi-fi connection feature.

“You can see the game is very focused on that horror atmosphere, so it’s not made for co-op play,” Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata told Eurogamer.

“We’re focusing on the single-player this time.”

Revelations, which has exactly the same control set-up as Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D, is set between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.

It is seen as a return to the series’ survival horror roots – a fact Capcom hopes will lead some new Resident Evil players to seek out the first three games in the illustrious zombie kill-em-up.

MILLA Jovovich says her husband is obsessed with Rolls Royces.

Milla — the star of the video game inspired franchise Resident Evil – has told how director/producer Paul Anderson is to butcher some classic cars as well as the walking dead in Resident Evil 5.

“he has a thing for Rolls Royces right now,” says Milla.

“I guess there is a reason why no one has used a Rolls Royce in an action sequence before. They are so expensive and you need double and triples but he set aside part of the budget to get these cars. They’re used, we repainted them and put neon lights in the bottom. We’re going to have some crazy action in there.”

Milla recently revealed that she’s “addicted” to the game Supermarket Mania 2.

“It’s a little embarrassing coming from a Resident Evil girl but I am addicted to Supermarket Mania 2,” says Milla.

“I just love restocking the fridges and cleaning up and then doing it all again. I went through Angry Birds and now this. It’s a little embarrassing.”

“Resident Evil” took no prisoners, save for leading lady Milla Jovovich. Her many co-stars, including Michelle Rodriguez as Rain and Colin Salmon as one, weren’t lucky enough to survive the zombie apocalypse. Indeed, the pile of corpses only grows taller and taller as each “Resident Evil” movie trucks along — but when the fifth film, “Retribution,” hits theaters, a few of those corpses will be leaving the pile.

Both Rodriguez and Salmon are signed on for the newest “Resident Evil,” though exactly how they’ll be involved remains completely unclear. when we caught up with Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson at the “Three Musketeers” junket over the weekend, we asked them point blank: how on earth are Rodriguez and Salmon back in action?

“I’m just forgetful. I forgot I’d already cast them in the movie,” joked Anderson. “I can’t tell you exactly how it works, but it is really cool I think, and it’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

Likewise, Jovovich was tight-lipped on the topic, though she asked fans to put their skepticism aside on this one.

“People on Twitter are like, ‘What’s going on? Everyone was dead and now they’re coming back! What’s the story?’ You guys, give me a break – I can’t literally give you a breakdown of the script!” she said. “The script is so good. People are gonna be like ‘what!’”

“The energy is so high. Everyone is having so much fun. between stunt rehearsals and costume fittings and gun shooting… people are just so psyched to be back, shooting this movie,” she continued. “It’s always a lot of fun. we really love what we do. It’s absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait until [the fans] see it. we haven’t even shot anything but I’m telling you, you see some of Paul’s animatrix videos and storyboards, and it’s like, oh my god… how are we going to pull this off?”

What do you think of the resurrected “Evil” cast? Let us know in the comments section and on Twitter!

Let me start off by saying Resident Evil 4 was a great game. Sure it may have lacked the classic thriller gameplay the past Resident Evil games had, but overall it did well introducing a more action adventure game. Resident Evil 4 was awesome when it came out on the PS2 and Gamecube as the whole concept of shooting and killing zombie monsters pumps any Resident Evil gamer out there. Now the controls were a little hard to master at first, but after a couple hours it was fairly easy to use and well worth the wait. Let’s get a little further deep with the controls. first of all it’s addicting. Yes being able to shoot zombies anywhere in the body and having a different effect as to where the zombie was shot is amazing. with different guns and shotguns players are even able to shoot the zombies head off. Yes i know what your picturing a headless walking zombie. well that’s what you see in this game. Besides shooting players are even allowed to perform some fight moves such as kicking and punching.

The storyline is impressive, but most of the time the game is heard as save the President’s daughter, kill zombies, bring the President’s daughter home. Let me tell you that is completely false The storyline for the game goes on for a long time with many new zombies and bosses players will encounter. killing the zombies isn’t that easy, plus they hold up well when being shot multiple times. The bosses are somewhat difficult to kill especially since they don’t seem to do the same movement over and over again. They’re actually pretty smart and know how to find you when your hiding. I’ll try to clarify this, when hiding from let’s say this huge beast like creature, one would assume it’s just going to walk around smash anything it sees and repeat the process. A game routine which is quite common for some bosses in video games. however in RE4 this does not happen. The enemy monsters are will aware of where you are hiding and they will find you.

The setting and environments in this game are outstanding. and no it does not all take place on a farm. Players will encounter enemies in factories, freezers, cannons, industrial areas, caves, and castles. All these areas contain well detailed exposure to what environments like these actually contain. Players will have fun and enjoy the aspect of killing new enemies at different locations. As players make their way through out the game they will receive and find money which will be very useful in purchasing new weapons from what looks to me like an old guy that follows you and sells guns to you. DO NOT SHOT HIM like other shooting games players will be able to purchase new and more powerful weapons and are even allowed to upgrade each weapon. It will cost you though, nothing in this game is free.

Overall i give this game a 9.5/10 maybe i am overrating it, but who knows this is the way i feel about the game. Resident Evil fans will be hyped and gasped at the concept Capcom has done to make this game so darn good. there is literally so much action in this game, players will always have something to do whether it’s killing zombies, fighting enemy bosses, or just solving little missions every step of the way in this game.

Well that’s all i have to say about Resident Evil 4, hope you enjoyed my review. if you haven’t already go online and buy the game. It’s an extremely fun game to play.

With the original approaching the grand old age of 7 years, RESIDENT EVIL 4 HD is no spring chicken. Having asserted its place in the hearts of so many, will this new version recapture our imaginations or lead to tears before bedtime? Read on to find out.

Here at BeefJack, the original and even the subsequent reincarnations of Resident Evil 4 are held very dearly in our hearts, this year coming in at sixth place in our Top 100 games in the world. regardless of how many times it’s already been ported since its debut with the Gamecube version, this is the first time that the words High Definition have been associated with the game. Resident Evil 4 HD should – in theory – be a highly polished exercise in nostalgic excitement for those who’ve played the game on GC, PS2, Wii or even PC, and for newcomers the chance to play a genre-redefining title.

Resident Evil 4 sent most of us crying for the solitude of the gap behind our sofas, not because it dizzied us with the goresome, slasher-based horror that’s all the rage these days or the classic lack of control experienced in the Resident Evil series. it was scary because it made you think about every single bullet you fired, and what you’d have to do next. it made you worry each time you killed an enemy whether their heads would explode to reveal something far more insidious and effective to slice away at your health. The real big bads were over the top and delightful, in that same way that you know the villain in a pantomime will get their comeuppance in the end.

Thank goodness none of this has changed, and some pleasing surprises have been made when it comes to the realms of enemy intelligence. Nothing huge, but there is definitely a challenge provided with some of the more inhuman enemies and how they like to make friends with you. certainly, as you enter the main story mode for the first time all looks well, with the screen filled with a pleasant crispness that you cannot avail yourself of when you plug in a Gamecube, PS2 or Wii into a HD television.

Sure enough, swapping a Wiimote for sticks feels like a step backwards in the slightly wrong direction and the lack of PlayStation Move support is perturbing as it looks like a missed opportunity. those who can grapple with timing 180 degree turns, and knowing when to run up to a kneeling enemy and kick them squarely in the head will cope fine with the fact that there is no strafing here, no running and gunning. with the game adding on shake when you hold out a gun, you’d be less accurate shooting if you could do it while moving. The fact that your movement is restricted is not a flaw with the game and doesn’t make it feel archaic, because every dead Ganado brings you one step closer to the director AI helping you to poo your pants by increasing the difficulty.

Staring intently at your screen, though, may soon make you feel that the fairy tale of this HD remake is just a little too much fairy dust for your liking. The dusting of finer detail soon gives way to the revelation that your screen is being occupied by textures that haven’t exactly moved on since gracing the previous console generation. Niggling, tiny details are gently more refined, such as Leon’s bangs not being as clumped together, but the over-enthusiastic skirt of Ada’s dress will give you pause near the game’s climax. another thing that will make veteran players shake their heads is the fact that known visual glitches remain – namely the lids of money chests disappearing into cupboards and sideboards in Salazar’s castle.

Perhaps it would be possible to forgive the chest lids if it were not for what had been done with Separate Ways. Here you begin to question why you would pay £15 on the 360 for a merely upscaled port of a game released in 2005. Insultingly, Separate Ways looks almost exactly like it does on previous console ports, with the cutscenes the biggest let down by looking exactly as they did in the standard definition versions of the game. No care or attention has been paid to this mode, with the textures ending up the least of its problems. while never as hugely entertaining as Leon’s story, Ada’s plight deserved to be paid greater attention along with fulfilling the expectations of fans who are buying a game supposedly now HD-ified.

Another group who may feel insulted by this remake will be achievement and trophy hunters. No real thought has been put into what actions rack them up for you. with all but one related to playing through Leon’s story. The only one that crosses into different modes is related to collecting all of the costumes in the game. Nothing is directly related to getting through Separate Ways, Assignment Ada or Mercenaries. such lack of forethought here adds to an overall impression that this is not the glorious homage to a great game that redefined a flagging genre.

Despite these flaws, Resident Evil 4 HD is at its core a fantastic game. what keeps it wonderful has nothing to do with the tarting up it’s received. it relies on the fact that it’s a port of a game that would have been incredibly difficult to fudge up, unless you remade it from the ground up and turned it into an ammo-filled snooze fest shooter with some regenerating health on the side. this is a good title just about worthy of a revisit, it’s just a shame that rather redo the veneer lovingly it’s been haphazardly pasted all over instead, and smells too much like an attempt to make a quick buck.

Retaining the quintessential thrills and heart pounding elements of the original was never going to be difficult. however, it has the feeling of being hastily assembled, so much so you could call it mutton dressed as lamb. Resident Evil 4 HD is worth the the time if you don’t have access to previous versions or have never played it, otherwise you may be asking yourself ‘why bother?’

Resident Evil 4 HD, from Capcom, is out now for XBL (reviewed) and PSN.

The next instalment in the Resident Evil franchise, has been casting up nicely so far although there have been some unexpected departures, but, the majority has been awesome and it continues.

According to B-D, Michelle Rodriguez has signed to reprise her role as “Rain Ocampo” in Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil: Retribution.

Although, I’m pretty sure she got zombified in the first flick, guess we will have to wait and see.

Joining, Rodriguez is Shawn Roberts, Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Colin Salmon and Boris Kodjoe.

The site has also learned that Shawn Roberts who plays the character Albert Wesker is said to only be in the film as a sort of cameo.

Resident Evil: Retribution hits theatres on September 14, 2012.

While there will be several returning cast members from the Resident Evil film franchise in Retribution, we heard the other day that Kevin Durand and Johann Urb joined the cast (here). Nothing was mentioned about Durand’s role, but the details for Urb’s role seemed to hint he would be playing fan-favorite Leon Kennedy in the film. Shock Til You Drop is now confirming that speculation.

In the games, Kennedy was a member of Racoon City policy, but he eventually became a member of an anti-Umbrella resistance organization. it seems we’ll be getting that same version of him in this film.

Resident Evil 5 has a very long and complex story, with many elements and vital pieces of information dating back to the previous games. in Resident Evil 5 Excella Gionne is one of the main characters and is a new addition to the series. she has the appearance of a typical female movie villain – cool, collected and sexy on the surface, yet so cunning and vindictive underneath. she is clearly one to use her looks to get her ahead in the world, and examples of this can be seen throughout the game.

As the game’s story unfolds, we learn that Excella is quite power crazy, and that she has planned to team up with Wesker (the game’s main villain) to take over the world. Despite having delusions of grandeur and a thirst for destruction, Excella had a rather nice upbringing with her upper-class family. it was only after she met Wesker through working for her father’s company that she was lead astray, and this is a perfect example of the depth of characters in the game.

Towards the end of the game we see Excella become infected by the very virus that she has been working on, and she mutates into a hideous creature. The Resident Evil 5 Excella boss fight is inevitable, and is one of the toughest in the game. Without giving too much away, to beat her you’ll need to stock up on your best guns’ ammo, and make sure you’ve got a lot of it, because she doesn’t go down easily.

Resident Evil 5 Excella looks absolutely stunning in this game (from a graphical standpoint), and it is a true testament to the game’s developers and the power of the current generation consoles that they could produce such a realistic and lifelike character.
