New DVD releasehorror, resident, revives, underrated, village, villain, witch

It’s hardly a surprise that Resident Evil Village is capturing everyone’s attention (including our own) at the moment. Not only is it the next entry into one of gaming’s biggest franchises, but in a year that will likely feature many game delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s a new game scheduled to be released in the near future that we can actually look forward to. Besides, how often do you get to celebrate horror in January? Of course, Resident Evil Village is nothing if not a celebration of horror that pays special tribute to the Universal horror…

Resident Evil Village: Does Lady Alcina Dimitrescu’s Name Hide Any Secrets?

New DVD releasealcina, dimitrescu, resident, secrets, village

Like you, we can’t get enough of Lady Alcina Dimitrescu: the extremely tall vampire lady who will apparently serve as one of Resident Evil Village‘s primary antagonists. While there’s no shortage of unanswered questions surrounding Lady Dimitrescu, one of the most fascinating aspects of the character is one of the few things we actually do know about her. After all, the name Dimitrescu isn’t common in the Resident Evil universe and leaves you with the impression that it was chosen to convey something specific. Well, after spending a little time investigating the history of the names Alcina and Dimitrescu, it…

Resident Evil Village: How Lady Dimitrescu’s Daughters Pay Tribute to Dracula’s Brides

New DVD releasebrides, daughters, dimitrescu, dracula, resident, tribute, village

While Lady Dimitrescu’s mysterious nature and…umm…proportions quickly made her an internet favorite, some of the most fascinating characters from the Resident Evil Village trailers/demo have to be Lady Dimitrescu’s equally mysterious daughters. Even using the word “daughters” is potentially misleading. Lady Dimitrescu refers to the characters as her daughters, but aspects of the game’s lore hinted at by circumstantial evidence suggest that they may not actually be her daughters. There’s even a hint that they could somehow be manufactured. It’s also been noted that the characters share many design similarities with the famous “brides” of Dracula who typically occupy the…

Resident Evil Village Merchant: Is it the Same Character From Resident Evil 4?

New DVD releasecharacter, merchant, resident, village

One of the most fascinating moments in the Resident Evil Village gameplay footage reveal happens around the 3:15 mark of this video when we are formally introduced to the game’s merchant. Naturally, any discussion of merchants and Resident Evil is going to make fans fondly remember the merchant from Resident Evil 4 and how his cry of “got something that might interest you” preceded what could very well be the only welcome trench coat flash in human history.  In this instance, though, the mere mention of a merchant in a Resident Evil game isn’t triggering flashbacks to Resident Evil 4’s…

Resident Evil Village Maiden Demo: All the Clues You May Have Missed

New DVD releaseclues, maiden, missed, resident, village

While the recently released Resident Evil Village demo (“Maiden”) can easily be completed in around 10 minutes, it still offers an intriguing look at one of 2021’s most anticipated games as well as the processing power of the PS5. More importantly, the demo is loaded with references, Easter eggs, and clues that enhance its short length by expanding the upcoming game’s world as well as our knowledge of what the mysterious Resident Evil Village is really all about. So whether you haven’t had the chance to play the PS5 demo (likely due to scalpers buying all the next-gen consoles) or…

How Resident Evil Village’s Vampire Lady Dimitrescu Became the Game’s Most Interesting Character

New DVD releasebecame, character, dimitrescu, interesting, resident, vampire, village

When Resident Evil Village releases later this year, it’ll have the tough job of following up one of the best survival horror games released in the last decade: Resident Evil 7. While clearly inspired by innovative classics that came before like Amnesia, Outlast, and Hideo Kojima’s P.T. demo, Capcom did its own thing with its first-person horror thriller, introducing fans to a gruesome new bioweapon and new protagonist Ethan, a character very unlike the gun-toting STARS and Umbrella agents from the franchise’s past. The result was a hell of a ride full of scares, dismemberments, and more than a few…

In an interview with Weekly Famitsu Magazine (as translated by Resident Evil researcher Alex Aniel) Capcom producers Tsuyoshi Kanda and Peter Fabiano reveal new information about Resident Evil Village‘s enemies, story, and setting. The interview doesn’t give away a lot of details we didn’t already know or suspected to be true, but it does feature a few interesting pieces of information for what has thus far been a very mysterious project. That’s especially true of Chris Redfield who was mentioned far more often in this interview than he’s been talked about in any of the official descriptions of Resident Evil…

During a Tokyo Game Show presentation, Capcom producer Tsuyoshi Kanda noted that the team is looking into a way to bring Resident Evil Village to current-gen consoles as well as next-gen platforms. “While Resident Evil Village is being developed specifically for next-generation consoles and PC, we’re looking into delivering the experience on Xbox One and PS4 as well,” Kanda says. “We’re looking into it, but we can’t make any promises. However, we will do our best in creating a top-tier survival horror experience on current generation consoles.” This news comes as quite a shock. Not only was Resident Evil 8…

Resident Evil Village Trailer Leaves Us With More Questions Than Answers

New DVD releaseanswers, leaves, questions, resident, trailer, village

Resident Evil fans rejoice, as the recent PlayStation 5 showcase brought us an incredible new trailer for Resident Evil Village. While this shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to series fans, the latest Resident Evil trailer is, to put a word to it, cryptic. It still doesn’t feature anything that we’re convinced counts as gameplay, and most of it actually focuses on an animated sequence that feels stylistically similar to the one that the Harry Potter films used to tell the tale of the Deathly Hallows. It also sends off big Don’t Starve energy so far as the…
