Capcom have just announced the release of Resident Evil: Degeneration, a new third-person action title for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Starting today, CGI flick Resident Evil: Degeneration is available via the PS3′s PlayStation Network.
Full-length CG animation feature Resident Evil: Degeneration has shipped over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The total includes DVD, Blu-ray and UMD versions of the flick.
The Resident Evil: Degeneration movie features plasticine characters, impossible situations, a nonsensical storyline full of plot holes you could drive a truck through.
Red Bull island, complete with Red Bull air racing, is coming to Home this week, hopefully free of the lines that have made bowling feel so restrictive in the virtual Playstation 3 world.
With the latest Resident Evil movie behind us and the next game looming ahead, flick Resident Evil: Degeneration sounds like perfect filler. But at least one critic says it’s little more than a 96-minute cutscene.
I will be picking up the Resident Evil: Degeneration Blu-ray this winter due to the fact that I am a CGI-movie whore to the point where I’d buy a scene-for-scene CG remake of Ishtar, but some of you out there need more motivation than that. Sure it has zombies and the killing of zombies on a compelling airport backdrop, but what about the extras? How about a trailer collection, not only for the film, but for Resident Evil 5 as well? Not enough you say? You’ll also get a trivia track, character profiles, an interview with Leon himself, and voice actor bloopers. All of that, plus a Blu-ray exclusive interactive picture-in-picture feature.
I’d discuss the whole 1.78:1 1080p AVC video accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack bit, but quite frankly those words are gibberish to a man who picked up his surround sound system from Walmart while shopping for socks.

I case the Comic-Con trailer wasn’t clear enough for you, Sony Pictures has issued an official press release for the upcoming film, being released theatrically in Japan before heading to North American DVD, Blu-ray, and UMD later this year. Here’s the official synopsis:
The “Umbrella Incident” that took place in Raccoon City ended with a missile attack ordered by the government intended to wipe out the deadly zombie virus. Following this catastrophe, the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeted. This serious blow to the business giant resulted in its complete dissolution. 7 years later, at an airport somewhere in the United States, on an ordinary autumn afternoon, a zombie is unleashed. Now, in an airport beginning to fill with the undead, the horrific disaster is about to repeat itself…
Well that certainly sounds…like every other zombie movie ever created. The difference here? Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy. They really didn’t have to go to all this trouble. They could have have just issued a press release that said “Leon. Claire. Zombies. Guns”. and we’d be sold.
Pro Tip: Don’t show up for the Resident Evil: Degeneration panel at Comic-Con less than 30 minutes prior to it happening or you won’t get in. With the San Diego Con at capacity, getting into the Capcom helmed panel required serious Resident Evil dedication. We were covering Jordan Mechner’s panel instead, but thanks to GameTrailers, we have the good stuff — the trailer itself. Enjoy!
