TGS 2016 Swallow Some Resident Evil 7 PS4 Screens
Offal stuff
Resident Evil 7 will be on display at the Tokyo Game Show this week, with some even speculating that Capcom may update the Beginning Hour demo already available on the PlayStation Store with new content.

TGS 2016 Resident Evil 7 Will Turn Up the Terror with PS4 Pro
Capcom pledges full support for Sony's new platform
This author has already decided to play through the entirety of Resident Evil 7 in PlayStation VR, so given it's one of the fuzzier titles we've experienced in virtual reality thus far, it's good to hear that Capcom will be supporting the PlayStation 4 Pro at launch. Thus far it's not sharing...
News Resident Evil 7 Sounds More Like Silent Hill Than Ever
Happy ever after?
Here's the sum of everything we know about Resident Evil 7: it's coming out on 24th January. Okay, we know a little bit more about the game than that, but you get the idea – Capcom is really playing its blood splattered cards close to its chest with this one. And that's exciting, because it'll be more of a surprise when you...
News Here's How Resident Evil 4 Looks on the PS4
Leon! Leon!
Resident Evil 4 needs no introduction – it's one of the greatest games ever made, after all. And it's coming to the PlayStation 4 in just about a week's time, so Capcom has released the first ever gameplay footage of that version. Unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like… Well, Resident Evil 4. What were you expecting? At the end of...
Gamescom 2016 Resident Evil 7 Really Is Going Full Survival Horror
Scared?
This is tense, isn't it? Capcom's released a new Resident Evil 7 trailer to coincide with Gamescom 2016, and it really ratchets up the tension. The clip takes the form of some found footage – which should be familiar to anyone who played the recent demo – and sees a woman attempting to send a message to a man named Ethan. Unfortunately...
News Wait a Minute! They're Still Making Resident Evil Movies?
This is the final chapter, apparently
We knew that Milla Jovovich's live-action Resident Evil movies were relatively popular, but we didn't realise there was a sixth one coming out. Due in January 2017 – the same month as Resident Evil 7, of course – Alice will return for the final chapter in director Paul W.S. Anderson's series, which has been...
News Surprise! Resident Evil 7 Will Have Healing Herbs
Slow news day
Despite it launching in a few short months and there being a standalone demo available on the PlayStation Store, we still don't know a whole lot about Resident Evil 7. Fortunately, Capcom has shared a tidbit with ambassadors: the forthcoming first-person sequel will include healing herbs. At least try and act surprised, eh? The image...
News Ensure You Have Enough Cash for Resident Evil 4 on PS4, Stranger
Hehehe, thank you
What're yer buyin' on 30th August? Resident Evil 4, of course. The legendary third-person shooter – which is surely in the running for the greatest game ever made – will lurch its way to the PlayStation 4 on 30th August, publisher Capcom has announced.

News Resident Evil 7 Breaks PS4 Demo Records
Giving other games the finger
Resident Evil 7's self-contained demo experience Beginning Hour has set the record for PlayStation 4 demo downloads in North America, becoming the most coveted slice of sampler content in its first week of release.

E3 2016 Resident Evil 7 Producer Was Gutted by Silent Hills' Cancellation
"I really loved it"
Resident Evil 7 looks to have taken a little inspiration from P.T., the demo for Silent Hills. However, according to producer Masachika Kawata, the sequel was in development before Konami's famous demo deployed. That said, it sounds like everyone at Capcom was a big fan of the concept – and the publisher was sad to see the...
News Could There Be a Secret Ending to Resident Evil 7's Demo?
The finger and the axe
So, we posted our First Impressions of the Resident Evil 7 demo a couple of days ago, and we liked it. We walked through the back door and also picked up the phone upstairs, with both endings concluding in a punch to the face from the newly named "family man". And that's the end of the demo, right? Maybe not. Within the demo,...
First Impressions Resident Evil 7 on PS4 Aims to Finish What Silent Hills Started
Resi reanimated
It's fitting that Capcom would reveal the seventh instalment of its once great franchise alongside the much anticipated reveal of Hideo Kojima's latest project, because Resident Evil 7 seems to be a full realisation of what Kojima set out to do with Silent Hills. After years of inferior sequels, HD remasters, and some serious...

E3 2016 Resident Evil 7 Was Under Our Decomposed Noses All Along
Funky smell
Last year, your humble host screamed like a baby over Kitchen – a very popular Capcom created tech demo for PlayStation VR. We always hoped that the idea would eventually expand into a full game, and during last night's Sony E3 2016 press conference, that's exactly what was teased. But we could have never imagined that it would turn...

Muscle man
You'll be able to admire beefcake BSAA agent Chris Redfield's rippling biceps in full 1080p starting 28th June, as that's when Resident Evil 5 is set to release on the PlayStation 4. The timeframe does come courtesy of the Xbox store page, so we're still awaiting official confirmation for Sony's new-gen system – it's almost certain to...
News Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps Is Looking Really Rubbish on PS4
Not even Resident Evil 2 maps can save it
Surprise! The game that no one asked for, Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, is shaping up to be something of a stinker. Capcom recently announced that the competitive shooter spin-off will boast a couple of maps based upon Resident Evil 2, which should be a reason for real hype. However, seeing the...
Rumour Resident Evil 7 to Return to Horror Roots on PS4
P.T. designer promisingly on board
Capcom is apparently preparing for a "full-scale offensive" with regards to the Resident Evil franchise towards the back-half of this year, and now respected video game consultancy gaffer Serkan Toto has shed a little light on what we can expect. Writing on Twitter, the Kantan Games chief said that the "entire game...
News Is It Almost Time for Resident Evil 7 on PS4?
Full-scale offensive
The Internet is convinced that Resident Evil 7 is months away from smashing through a glass window, and all signs suggest that it may be right. As part of its financial report recently, Capcom said the following: "In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company is scheduled to release the strategic titles of Sengoku Basara...
Knocked for six
How did this happen? No, really – how did this happen? Resident Evil 6, the most recent numbered entry in Capcom's iconic survival horror series, is an unmitigated mess – a real turd of a game that's so downright bad that it beggars belief. You'd think that with the series celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the publisher...
News Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Stands Under Capcom's Brolly a Little Longer
Stay dry
Iffy looking PlayStation 4 spin-off shooter Resident Evil Umbrella Corps will stay frosty a little longer than intended, as Capcom has delayed the title out of its original May release window and into June. It's just a month, of course, but the game will now arrive on 21st June in Europe and North America – the same day as No Man's Sky...
News Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 Are All Shuffling to PS4 This Year
Yes, all of 'em
When you're in dire financial straits like Capcom are, the only solution is to throw as many remasters at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. Not content with bringing Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to Sony's new-gen system, the publisher has now announced that Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6...
News Resident Evil Spin-Off Umbrella Corps Shuffles to PS4 in May
'Ella! 'Ella!

Review Resident Evil Zero (PS4)
From zero to hero
Last year, Capcom delighted fans (and newcomers) with an HD remaster of its legendary GameCube exclusive remake, Resident Evil. A year later and the firm's other former Nintendo exclusive Resident Evil Zero has arrived on the PlayStation 4. But while last year's efforts were great, the ported package still had some areas of uneven...
News Is Resident Evil 6 Getting Reanimated for PS4?
Redfield alert
Confession time: this author, despite being a big fan of Capcom's campy survival horror series, hasn't played Resident Evil 6. The sequel has sat sealed on your host's shelf since its 2012 launch day, but has never been touched since then. It's one last-gen game that this scribe wants to go back to – but it seems that we won't have...
News Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps Limps to Life with Ghastly Gameplay Commentary
You are dead
People were already down on Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps, the PlayStation 4 competitive shooter spin-off that Capcom announced at TGS 2015 earlier in the year. It was only going to take an eSports-esque trailer to push fans over the edge, then – and that's exactly what the publisher's delivered. This clip – which currently has...
TGS 2015 Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Gets Competitive on PS4
Dead to rights
Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots. Clearly the Japanese publisher has other ideas, however, as it's revealed Resident Evil Umbrella Corps – a kind of competitive shooter...

News From Resident Evil Zero to Hero in New PS4 Gameplay
Silly Billy
While the announcement of Resident Evil 2 for the PlayStation 4 may have overshadowed Resident Evil Zero HD somewhat, Rebecca Chambers' locomotive adventure will still launch first.

News How Does Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Look on PS Vita?
Not as bad as you may think
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has already been overshadowed by much better games, but it is still one of the surprise packages of the year.

News See Resident Evil 0's Evolution Over the Years
Back from the dead
Resident Evil Zero may have originally released on the GameCube, but it was in development for the Nintendo 64 prior to that. Capcom actually showed the game running on the House of Mario's cartridge-based format at the Tokyo Game Show, but space limitations prompted it to ultimately switch production to the GameCube instead...
News Resident Evil Zero's Remaster Doesn't Look Too Rotten on PS4, PS3
Stand clear of the doors
We remember Resident Evil Zero looking pretty good back when it initially released on the Nintendo GameCube, so it's nice to see that the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remaster looks up to scratch. The title's first trailer is only around 90 seconds long, but we get a decent, bloody chunk of gameplay near the end...
News Resident Evil Zero Will Shamble Its Way to PS4 And PS3 Next Year
A remastered undead nightmare
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Zero will be getting the remaster treatment next year following the overwhelming success of the remake of the first game.

News Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Vita Will Rear Its Ugly Head This Summer
Claire we go
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is one of the surprise releases of 2015 so far, serving up a slice of survival horror that's both spooky and self-aware.

Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (PlayStation 4)
Dead good
Resident Evil's been in a bit of a rut of late, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 never looked like it was going to break that cycle prior to release. With dated visuals, dodgy dialogue, and rudimentary third-person shooting, the title didn't exactly put its best foot forward in press previews. But this spin-off – a successor to the...
News The Fanbase for Final Fantasy May Very Well Be on PS4
Resident Evil, too
Just a little addendum to today's UK sales charts: Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Resident Evil: Revelations 2 both sold best on the PlayStation 4 – and by some margin. According to Metro, a whopping 78 per cent of the former's first week British sales came courtesy of Sony
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Four: Metamorphosis (PlayStation 4)
Dumb and dumber
Pin back your decaying lugholes and listen for a second: there are two endings to Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and one will leave you feeling significantly more satisfied than the other. In what's perhaps a nod to survival horror games of old, there's a throwaway choice in an earlier episode that completely changes the complexion of...

Two is better than one
Those of you eager to show off your zombie zapping skills may be thrilled to learn that Resident Evil: Revelations 2's online Raid Mode will finally launch later this month.

Meat is murder
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been the surprise package of 2015 so far, serving up a survival horror experience befitting of the brand that it belongs to. Episode Three: Judgment furthers this fine form, delivering what feels like an extended highlights reel, demonstrating everything that makes Capcom's cult series great. It may...
News Resident Evil: Revelations 2's Season Pass Ain't Playing Nice on PS4
Claire we go again
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been one of the biggest surprises of the year so far, but what's not a shock is that the Season Pass is broken on the PlayStation 4. As games get more complicated, Sony's really struggling with all of the moving parts on its storefront, and Capcom's episodic adventure is just the lat
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode Two: Contemplation (PlayStation 4)
Well drilled
This is uncharted territory, isn't it? We're used to waiting months for the second instalment in Telltale's episodic outings – Tales from the Borderlands, anyone? – but Capcom's already returned with a timely dose of the surprisingly solid Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Of course, the speed at which Episode Two: Contemplation has...
Review Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Episode One: Penal Colony (PlayStation 4)
Penal infection
You never know quite what you're going to get with Resident Evil anymore. After all, Capcom's flagship franchise has cultivated so many clangers over the years that it's lucky to be held in such high esteem. Of course, a lot of that goodwill stems from the series' various smash hits: an unforgettable night in the Spencer Mansion, a...
First Impressions Is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Rotten or Ripe on PS4?
Claire's accessories
Resident Evil: Revelations faced a tough test when we reviewed it on the PlayStation 3 a couple of years ago. At the time of its release in May 2013, this author had already played a meaty chunk of The Last of Us, and Jill Valentine's oceanic romp failed to really live up. In hindsight, it was perhaps a little unfair to expect...
Should have known
Today's a pretty big day for game releases, but, as per usual, something's went a bit wrong on the PlayStation Store. Many users are reporting that they can't download or preload Dragon Ball XenoVerse and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. This appears to be caused by some sort of problem with Sony's service, but the company has stated...
Round Up Resident Evil: Revelations 2 PS4 Reviews Are a Sight for Sore Eyes
