I am old enough to remember when Resident Evil was first released… I think I played it that same year. Over the intervening years I have lost interest in the franchise – the last one I played was Code Veronica on the Dreamcast – but I still watch the films if I have nothing better to do. Anyway a trailer for Resident Evil: Damnation, the 3D CGI anime film sequel to Resident Evil: Degeneraton, was released last week.
In this story Leon S. Kennedy takes centre stage as he finds himself in a war-torn European country, the East Slavic Republic to verify that Bio Organic Weapons (BOWs) are being used in a civil war which both the US and Russia plan to intervene in. Obviously there are BOWs since the trailer shows Leon battling Lickers. Makoto Kamiya who directed Resident Evil: Degeneration and has handled the special effects on Gantz, acted in Tokyo Gore Police and was assistant director on Mamoru Oshii’s Avalon is directing this. Takahashi Tetsuya (Appleseed, Halo Legends) is composing the music.
Just thought to let you know: if you ever decide you want to catch up on the Resident Evil series, a complete Anthology Collection of Resident Evil 6 is being released for PS3. For $30 more than Res 6 by itself it includes 1-5 as well.
Thanks for the info! I think I might pick up the Resident Evil Revelations… The main series doesn’t appeal as much as the spin-offs.
