Steamforged Games, the designers behind the interesting but cooperative Dark Souls: The Board Game and Dark Souls: The Card Game, have set their sites on a new franchise: Resident Evil. While there are still 25 days to go on the Kickstarter campaign, Resident Evil 2 - The Board Game has already reached (and exceeded) it's goal of $200,639.
With the annual release of the latest Madden title now complete, the fall deluge of games has begun. Here's a quick rundown of the co-op titles that are available starting today.
In an announcement video put out earlier today, Capcom slapped a fancy ol' release date (August 29th) on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Resident Evil: Revelations. Considering the game's 3DS origins, it looks pretty fantastic, but we're not here just to slack our jaws at higher resolutions.
While we've known since March that Resident Evil: Revelations would be getting a new release on PS4 and Xbox One, today we now have a release window and details for the 1080p update of the game. The new version will be releasing in Japan on August 31st with US and Europe releases to follow in the fall.
The latest Humble Bundle is another Capcom focused one, though this time around instead of fighting games being front and center its Zombies. While a $1 will get you three solid games (Strider, Devil May Cry, and Umbrella Corps), it's the 2nd tier at $7.27 where things start to get interesting.
Okay, sure, so maybe Resident Evil: Revelations is over five years old now. And sure, maybe it was originally made for the 3DS. Still, it's a Resident Evil game that's coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and dagnabbit, that's good enough for me.
How many Resident Evil games have there been? If you take into account the main cannon, plus all the offshoots and then the remakes - too many to really care about. One co-op version of the game was Resident Evil: Revelations and its being relaunched again; this time for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Until Monday, November 14, you can pick up Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Deluxe Edition for just $12 on the Xbox One, provided you have an Xbox Live Gold account. The title is part of this week's "Deals With Gold" program, which also includes a few solid single-player titles like DmC Devil May Cray: Definitive Edition for just $9.90.
Capcom has been doing quite well with its Resident Evil remakes/remasters lately, with the original selling over a million copies and Resident Evil 0 doing well enough. While work on the second title is still underway, Capcom took to YouTube to announce that remakes of Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 will be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Games for Windows Live might not be the best service on the planet, but it did provide gamers with opportunities to do some neat co-op stuff. In this case, unfortunately, we learned recently that Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition on Steamworks will not support its split screen co-op mod previously available on Games For Windows Live.
This week's CORA features less subscriptions and more co-op. Always more co-op.
