Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Anyone who follows video games knows that action games are big — very big. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shattered sales records far and wide in its first 24 hours on store shelves and raked in a billion dollars in well under three weeks. The American video game market loves shooting things and we love doing it in a fast-paced way.
Gaming magazine Game Informer put up an interview with Capcom Senior Vice President of strategic planning and business development Christian Svensson on its website yesterday that’s well worth reading.
What a breath of fresh air! No fancy pre-rendered trailers, no gruff American man giving a gruff American voice-over. Just a couple of French ladies selling a zombie video game using yoghurt and a cruise liner.
Yes, yes, Capcom is aware of the typographical error on the spine of Resident Evil: Revelaitons Revelations and has vowed to fix the packaging of a Nintendo-platform game for the second time in four years.
Resident Evil: Revelations is a wonderful surprise. It benefits both from the low expectations set by the previous, shallow Resident Evil on the Nintendo 3DS and from the fact that it is a very good Resident Evil.
As first revealed during last night’s Nintendo Direct, the 3DS is getting five game demos: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Rhythm Thief & The Emperor’s theatre, New Love Plus and Resident Evil: Revelations.
In the trailer above, the usual plot elements that have popped up in Resident Evil games since almost the very beginning of the series show once again. You know, bioengineered terrorism, governmental response, power-mad terrorists. That kind of thing.
The next portable instalment of Capcom’s survival-horror action series looks like it’ll be hitting Europe first, along with the dock that’s bringing additional control inputs to the Nintendo 3DS.
