    Alinea Analytics claims daily active players in Resident Evil 2 rose 48% in the week after Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil film released, from 78,000 to roughly 116,000, while the Resident Evil 4 remake gained 24% and Resident Evil 3 added 25%. On PS5, the outlet says Resident Evil 2 sales almost doubled during a sale and Resident Evil 4 purchases spiked 77%, predicting an 11% and 14% sales increase respectively from the film's impact. The stats are not official and Capcom also heavily discounted many Resident Evil titles around the movie's release.

    Let's Talk About the New Resident Evil Movie

    In Zach Cregger's new Resident Evil film, Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a courier delivering a package containing the final ingredient for a cure to Raccoon City General Hospital, who is bitten by an infected girl and slowly mutates. By the end, Bryan fully transforms, devours the scientists, and dies as his mutation robs him of consciousness. The author praises this willingness to kill off the main protagonist, calling it a rare "bad ending" for a high-budget production and an antidote to the games' refusal to kill off their main characters.

    Capcom says porting Monster Hunter Wilds to Switch 2 was a painstaking rebuild

    Capcom producer Genki Sunano told Kotaku that the Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds was not a simple scaled-down port but a rebuild aimed at delivering a natural Wilds experience on the console, targeting a stable 30 FPS in handheld mode even during four-player hunts. The team evaluated assets and underlying processing one by one, rebuilt certain assets and shaders, and kept new visual effects aligned with existing hitboxes and collision detection. Sunano said the process was painstaking and at times seemingly endless, and that the lessons will feed into performance improvements for existing platforms ahead of Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance. Monster Hunter Wilds comes to Nintendo Switch 2 on December 4.

    Resident Evil Requiem tops $500m, but the new film moved game sales less than Capcom's discounts

    Resident Evil Requiem has earned over $500m according to estimates from Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliott, outpacing every other Resident Evil game and nearing Resident Evil 4 remake's $600m over three years.

    Silent Hill: Townfall Review - Addressing The Trauma

    Game Informer's review says Silent Hill: Townfall is the series' third game in as many years and the first to fully embrace a first-person perspective, following Simon Ordell through the Scottish town of St. Amelia in 1996. It praises the visuals and peeking mechanic, and notes combat is heavily discouraged with scarce bullets and fast-breaking melee weapons, making it closer to a stealth game. The reviewer says inconsistent enemy detection forced frequent save reloads and diminished the tension, while the cast's emotional backstories are more transparent than in past entries.

    Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Movie Understands How It Feels To Play A Resident Evil Game

    Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie contains very few overt references to the larger franchise, taking place primarily in Raccoon City with the Umbrella Corporation, a typewriter, and Heavy Field shotgun shells. It follows an ordinary man named Bryan through one night stuck in a Resident Evil-style ordeal, reacting as a player rather than a series protagonist across a 90-minute runtime. The author says it expertly captures the emotional experience of playing a Resident Evil game and replaces Werewolves Within as their favorite video game film adaptation.

    Resident Evil Fans Have Adopted a Love and Deepspace Character as the Son of Leon S. Kennedy and One of His Potential Spouses

    Resident Evil fans, spurred by a scene in Resident Evil Requiem's good ending where Leon Kennedy appears to remove a wedding ring from his inner jacket pocket, have adopted Love and Deepspace character Zayne as the son of Leon and Ada Wong. Zayne shares sharp features with Ada's latest model and, like RE9-era Leon, has prominent hand scarring as a major plot point. However, Zayne is the only Love and Deepspace character whose parents are both identified and still alive, working as doctors in humanitarian emergency medical outreach.
