So Chris Redfield felt the need to jump ship on RE and do a little battle against some Marvel enemies like the Incredible Hulk... that's right. Chris Redfield will be a playable character in Capcom and Marvel's upcoming hit... Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Just as Jill Valentine made her appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, lab zombie and cerberus both assisted her in battle. Wonder who will be Chris' helpers? Check out the trailer below.

UPDATE: First screens of Resident Evil Afterlife have been released on Myspace. These screens feature Alice, Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, Wesker and an old friend from Resident Evil 5!

My apologies on the lack of updates and sections online. Work, school and life all take on tough times ever once in awhile... ha. So anyways not much going on after the release of Darkside Chronicles and Resident Evil 5 Gold.

In other news... the next movie installment Afterlife will soon have a trailer for view. Milla's Twittering once again reveals some news stating that the trailer will debut in front of A Nightmare on Elm Street on April 30, 2010. This 4th installment will be Alice (Milla J) and the series final sequel. Resident Evil (movie series) will then be taking on a reboot... completely redone... how it should have been... just like the game.

[]RE5 Official Site Update, Biohazard Book Re-issued, Afterlife Wesker Talk
1-29-2010 - Posted by: crazie

Check the Official Resident Evil 5 Gold Site for new wallpapers, buddy icons and trailers. With the new knowledge of Excella and Josh, to add to that Excella will be with the DLC package for Lost in Nightmares and Josh will be with the DLC for Desperate Escape. So once you purchase each, you will be able to use both in the Mercenaries Reunion.

Back in March 2005, Capcom released a book titled 'Biohazard Archives' featuring RE 0 to CODE: Veronica. It features all the characters, B.O.W.'s, glossary of terms from the games and information about Umbrella. This new book, same title, is being re-issued with updated sections and some new artwork. Again, it includes 0, the original Resident Evil, 2, Nemesis and CODE: Veronica. 352 pages long and a smaller size now, dropping down to an A5 size.

And to bring it to the movies... Shawn Roberts talks about his role as Albert Wesker in Resident Evil: Afterlife. The following comes from Shock Till You Drop.

"I play Albert Wesker who is head of the Umbrella Corporation who is responsible for the outbreak of the T-virus, or the Uroboros virus," he told us, hinting that this entry may be extracting elements from Resident Evil 5. "It was nice to be in a position of sitting back playing with my puppets as they were. We finished in December and I guess right now it's just about making sure the technology gets into the screen so 3-D can happen."

Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, and of course starring Milla Jovovich as Alice, Roberts says, "The storyline goes on its own [in terms of its faithfulness to the game]. We made sure we brought elements in. The wardrobe is very similar and as close as we could get it. We have some fight scenes that are taken directly from the game. We're doing it for the fans so we want to do what makes them happy. The dogs come back. They're my pets which is cool."

"My character is such a favorite character in the games," he adds, "so I'm just like 'alright I don't want to piss anyone off.' You make it the best you can. The key thing is that it was fun. I would walk onto set and not even have my wardrobe, but wardrobe comes over and they hand me my gloves and give me my jacket. It just sort of takes shape. I'm a fan and I'm not disappointed."

In other news... Afterlife (the 4th film) has been pushed back to a Summer 2010 release date. The actual date is not known, yet many sites are saying August. And with the Alternate Edition (Japan name) and Gold Edition (US and Europe name), seems PS3 owners will be the only lucky ones to have the option of purchasing the game on disc and having it as DLC. Still no release date information for XBox 360 owners, and seems it will only be DLC for 360 owners.

The DLC will be available over the PSNetwork and XBox Live on March 9, 2009. With the new screens released for 'Desperate Escape', we also learned some new information.

[]Milla Talks About Release, Keeper of Madness, Resident Evil on PSNetwork
12-8-2009 - Posted by: crazie

As stated on Milla's latest twitter update, Afterlife is still set for an August 2010 release. Rumors are going around the net that due to the 3D process, the movie may be pushed back to January 2011. Check out Milla's twitter for yourself.

Famitsu online has made some more comments on the new creature featured in the 'Lost in Nightmares' episode. The name is said to be 'Keeper of Madness.' Everything else still seems to be true about this creature lurking the basement of the Spencer mansion and attacking any intruders.

And for all the die hard RE fans that love the originals, the PSNetwork has all of the 3 first titles in the series available for purchase and download. Nothing has been said to be released for the Xbox 360 holders.
