Capcom, the company behind recently-released Resident Evil 7 biohazard, made a new announcement on Twitter today: it is bringing its previously launched game Resident Evil: Revelations to Microsoft and Sony’s latest-generation consoles. Fans in both Europe and North America can expect to get access to both digital and physical copies of the game for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 soon.
Just a couple weeks after the first 'Banned Footage' DLC went live arrives the second DLC for Capcom's Resident Evil 7 biohazard. This DLC, 'Banned Footage Vol 2,' is only available on the PlayStation 4 for now, but will arrive for everyone else starting on February 21. As we've previously detailed, this DLC features more banned footage, as well as some new game missions.
The hotly anticipated Resident Evil 7 biohazard launched first on January 24 in North America, Asia, and Europe, followed by a launch in Japan on January 26. In the three days since its first launch date, the game went on to sell more than 2.5 million copies for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. That's a significant percentage of the 7.15 million demo downloads Capcom saw ahead of the game's release.
The hotly anticipated Capcom game Resident Evil 7 biohazard has finally launched, and fans have just a few days to grab a copy before the first DLC drops. Starting January 31 for certain buyers and everyone else at a later date, the DLC will offer the first volume of banned footage included with the Deluxe Edition and Season Pass, as well as a new mode that includes multiple gaming varieties and tasks.
Even before zombies or mutated critters were hot (presuming they are), Resident Evil was already scaring the bejeepers out of gamers since 1996. Now past its 20th birthday, the title is undergoing a bit of a facelift in the latest installment, Resident Evil 7 biohazard. To make that celebration even sweeter, Microsoft's Phil Spencer will be inducting the game into its exclusive club of Xbox Play Anywhere titles. Which means you only need to buy the game once and play it not really anywhere but on both Xbox and Windows PC.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard will be available on January 24, and with it will come the option of a Season Pass. As with other games’ season passes, those who pick it up will pay a flat fee to cover whatever DLCs Capcom has planned, and we now know what other perks it will include: access to ‘banned footage’ volumes 1 and 2, among other things.
There’s so-called 4D gaming, which is usually a VR game joined by items that engaged other senses — a rumbling seat when you’re ‘driving’ over cobble roads, maybe, or an authentic scent to match your VR environment. Here to bring about that latter element, in a roundabout sort of way, is an official Resident Evil 7 biohazard “4D” candle that supposedly smells like the interior of the game's Baker House Mansion.
Those who preorder a video game usually get some perks for doing so — special downloadable gaming content, exclusive vehicles or weapons, or early access to the game, for example. The same is true for those who preorder Resident Evil 7, only with a bit of a twist: gamers will receive a code to download a free copy of one of the Resident Evil movies. The perk varies a bit, though, depending on where you preorder the game.
PlayStation 4 owners have already had access to Capcom's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard demo for quite some time, but now it's Xbox One's turn. The demo is arriving on Xbox One today, giving players an early look at the next installment in the long running Resident Evil series. Beyond this Xbox One release, the demo will also be coming to PC later this month, with Capcom announcing a December 19 release date.
This weekend saw the 2016 PlayStation Experience (PSX) held in Anaheim, California. Similar to E3, the event lets Sony focus on its own PlayStation gaming platform, but without rival companies competing for attention. It's also on a bit of a smaller scale, allowing gamers to get hands on time with new and upcoming games, as well as for partnering publishers to make some big announcements.
There’s an animated movie based on the Resident Evil franchise in the works, and it is called “Resident Evil: Vendetta.” The movie will be available in spring 2017, according to the official movie website. As well, Capcom has teased the upcoming title by releasing some still images taken from show footage, presenting them at the Tokyo Game Show today. The company also plans to release a trailer of some sort this weekend, giving fans their first look at the movie.
With the Tokyo Game Show currently underway in, well, Tokyo, developer Capcom has used the event to reveal new details and media on Resident Evil 7 biohazard. The most exciting bit is that the "Beginning Hour" teaser demo that was first released in June on PS4 has received a free update that adds new areas to explore. Also neat is that the PS Plus requirement has been dropped, so now anyone can download the latest version of the demo at no cost.
