Huh? There's Gonna Be a CG, Game-Based Resident Evil Movie?
Posted at 2:13 PM Sep 17, 2008
I love it when I'm totally out of the loop, and unaware of projects that have been announced for nearly a year. If it weren't for Television Without Pity's Zach Oat, I'd still be unaware of Resident Evil: Degeneration. Clearly, Capcom is taking a page out Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children pagebook (hoping to similarly make a zillion bucks like Advent Children did), as this straight-to-DVD flick is set seven years after the Raccoon City stuff from the first three games, and stars both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. As you can see from this (old) trailer (which is totally new to me), the T-virus hits an airport, standing in lieu of the standard zombie-filled mall.
I'm very much in support of these games-turned-CG movies. Makers of Ico, get the hell on it. What are your suggestions?

You're a shame to nerds everywhere! ;)
I still want a Marvel Comic movie using the X-Legends/Ultimate Alliance cutscenes CGI. That Nightcrawler clip was INSANE!

Posted 09/17/2008 at 02:57:02 PMI found out about it from the PS3s PSN free video downloads. I was hoping it was a game but did more research and found out it was a movie.
I swear I hope they make it into a real RE game. Being stuck in a sealed airport with lots of potential lead catchers and just the visual when you're in the outer areas of soldiers blocking both people escaping and those trying to get in not knowing what horrors await.
