Playstation Announces Resident Evil 3 for 2020

2019-12-10T08:58:00.006-06:00

RESIDENT EVIL™ 3 MODERNIZES THE CLIMACTIC EVENTS OF RACCOON CITY IN APRIL 2020

Outlast the Terrifying Nemesis in Resident Evil™ 3 or a Devious Mastermind in the Online Asymmetrical Multiplayer Game Resident Evil™ Resistance

Today on PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast, Capcom celebrated the 20^th anniversary of the survival horror classic Resident Evil™ 3: Nemesis by unveiling a completely reimagined Resident Evil™ 3. On the heels of the award-winning Resident Evil™ 2, this highly demanded follow-up in the 94 million unit selling franchise once again utilizes Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine to complete the Raccoon City story arc. Resident Evil 3 stars Jill Valentine – one of video games’ most iconic heroines – as she escapes from a crumbling Raccoon City while being pursued by the unrelenting bioweapon Nemesis. Players can also participate in previously untold Umbrella experiments on the outskirts of Raccoon City in the included online asymmetrical multiplayer game Resident Evil™ Resistance, previously known as the working title Project Resistance. Resident Evil 3 will be available on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Steam on April 3, 2020.

Resident Evil 3 is set amidst the nightmarish outbreak of the T-virus, a biological weapon developed by the pharmaceutical company Umbrella Corporation. The game marks the debut of Nemesis – a towering humanoid bioweapon designed for both brutality and high-functioning intelligence – whose dogged hunt of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine made him an icon of the Resident Evil™ series. Armed with an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and wrapped in a black suit to hide his mutilated features, Nemesis will maim, pulverize or destroy any obstacle on the path to his target.

Jill’s harrowing escape takes place in the panic-stricken hours leading up to and following the events of the acclaimed best-selling Resident Evil 2. Intense combat and puzzle solving combine to deliver the heart-pounding final chapter of Raccoon City’s collapse. The horrific settings from the original game and new content come to life as never before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident Evil™ 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry™ 5 with high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics.

Complementing the action-packed single player campaign is Resident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical 4 vs. 1 multiplayer game originally unveiled as a working title at Tokyo Game Show earlier this year. As the Mastermind behind the scenes, players can assume the role of key Resident Evil characters like Annette Birkin in a series of deadly experiments. Manipulate the environment and wield a deck of cards to place vicious creatures, set traps and weaponized security cameras to snare hapless Survivors. A first for the franchise, Masterminds can even directly control elite bioweapons like G-Birkin and Tyrant. In turn, four Survivors must effectively work together, making the most of a variety of weapons and each player’s unique special abilities, to stand a chance of escaping the experiment before time runs out.

North American console players will also be able to purchase a Resident Evil 3 Collector’s Edition. This premium package contains a physical copy of Resident Evil 3, a high quality Jill Valentine figure, printed artbook, a Raccoon City map wall poster and a digital Resident Evil 3 soundtrack. Those who pre-order will also receive the exclusive Classic Costume Pack that features the original design for Jill Valentine and hairstyle for Carlos Oliveira.

The hunt is on!

Following its premiere, It’s Pony will continue to air Saturdays on Nickelodeon and will air internationally in April 2020.

The series stars Jessica DiCicco (Adventure Time) as Annie, an optimistic and determined farm girl living in the city with her family and best friend Pony; Josh Zuckerman (Strange Angel) as Pony, who is naïve and impulsive, but loves Annie more than anything; Abe Benrubi (E.R.) as Dad, who treats Pony as a nuisance, but recognizes the special bond he shares with Annie; and India de Beaufort (All Hail King Julien) as Mom, who loves Annie and Pony’s relationship and always has a new project in the works.

Whether making an epic quest down the street to mail a letter, heroically saving the local playground with a bake sale, or simply getting a haircut, Pony and Annie always stick together because life is better as a pair.

Created by Ant Blades, It’s Pony is inspired by a short from Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts Program. A pre-released episode will be available starting Wednesday, Dec. 25 on the Nick App, Nick On Demand, and YouTube.

Australia's ELIZA & THE DELUSIONALS added to Silversun Pickups Tour

2019-12-10T04:08:00.001-06:00

One of the most exciting groups to emerge from Australia's hyper-buzzing Gold Coast, Eliza & the Delusionals is led by frontwoman Eliza Klatt and has been making waves on its native continent since its inception in early 2015 with a sound that has been likened to that of Catfish & The Bottlemen and Alex Lahey.

Building momentum after the release of its debut EP The Deeper End In 2017, Eliza & The Delusionals has played Bluesfest, Falls Festival and supported artists including Luca Brasi, Ali Barter, City Calm Down, Nothing But Thieves, Dear Seattle, and Tiny Little Houses.

With the career-cementing opening slot for Silversun Pickups now firmly in its back pocket, the band is planning on releasing even more music in 2020 and will continue to spread its indie rock goodness with more dates. Stay tuned!

TOUR DATES
w/ Silversun Pickups

2/4/20 Ventura Theater (Ventura, CA)
2/5/20 Observatory (Santa Ana, CA)
2/7/20 Wiltern (Los Angeles, CA)
2/8/20 Fox Theater (Oakland, CA)
2/10/20 House of Blues (Las Vegas, NV)

2/20/20 House of Blues (Dallas, TX)
2/22/20 The Fillmore (New Orleans, LA

Topping U.S. charts all the way from Australia isn't exactly an easy feat for a new indie rock band, but Cooking Vinyl's latest signing ELIZA & THE DELUSIONALS has done just that, having landed a recent #1 position at SiriusXM's defining alternative rock station Alt Nation with its U.S. debut single "JUST EXIST." Proving that its explosive U.S. debut isn't a fluke, premier alt rock shed headliners SILVERSUN PICKUPS have tapped the group to be main support on the West Coast leg of their 2020 tour of the States. Full list of dates below!

Straddling the line of such 90s luminaries as Veruca Salt, Blake Babies, Liz Phair with the modern sensibilities of Tonight Alive and Paramore, the new single has amassed over a million streams in just a few week's time. It was produced by Kon Kersting (Mallrat, WAAX, Big Scary, Kingswood) and is the first taste of new music from Eliza & The Delusionals for 2019.

From Eliza - "'Just Exist' is about the balance of feeling depressed and feeling creative and inspired by those feelings. I find a lot of my best and most inspired creative ideas have come from some of the saddest and worst feelings I’ve ever felt which is very bittersweet. I hate feeling down but if I didn’t feel that way I think I would plainly just exist."

DC Inspired Slot Games

2019-12-01T03:17:00.001-06:00

The casino industry is known for keeping a fruitful relationship with pop culture. Their interaction is
mutual and is felt in movies, books, and music. Casinos were featured in films and served as an
inspiration to artists and writers. Slot games are an example of the connection between casinos and pop culture. Game developers have made countless slot games based on popular TV shows, films and music genres which were used to get the attention of fans and it worked. The number of visitors at online casinos skyrocketed and casino sites like Mansion Casino, Betway Casino, Novibet Online Casino , and others got a larger audience.

Nowadays another medium of pop culture serves as an inspiration for movies and TV series. Comic
books have been around for a long time and have slowly been establishing franchises for years.
Hardcore fans read every issue from cover to cover, play video games and watch everything that
involves their favorite superhero. Developers took notice of this trend and produced many comic book slot games. Since DC is one of the titans of comic books here are the most popular slot games the franchise inspired:
Justice League
Like the Avengers, the Justice League is the ensemble of heroes from the DC Universe and only the best of the best are part of it. The 2017 movie featured Batman, Superman, the Flash, Aquaman and Wonder Woman although the League is much bigger than that. This movie served as inspiration for a slot game featuring the heroes of the movie and symbols related to them such as Wonder Woman’s sigil, Aquaman’s trident, and others. The game has 25 paylines and features every member of the League that appeared in the movie.
The Flash
Everyone’s favorite speedster is one of the most recognizable comic book characters. The fact that he’s still around from 1940 means that he’s still got something that makes him memorable. Whether he’s running around at lightning speed or cracking jokes he will forever be a comic book hero to remember. The old Flash movies make everyone cringe but the TV show makes up for that mess up. He was also featured in the Justice League movie and it’s only fair that he got his own slot game. The game allows players to win big and win fast by allowing you to play on 5 reels with 30 paylines coupled with many bonuses.
Batman
Who doesn’t know the Dark Knight himself? The Protector of Gotham? Batman has been with fans since 1939 and is still going strong. The Batman Animated Series is the only series he was featured in but his stories inspired several amazing films and computer games. Anyone who’s a fan of Batman has played the Arkham series so it’s no wonder the Caped Crusader served as an inspiration for a slot game. The game features Gotham City as the background and some features allow you to double your wins and give you a chance to become as rich as the billionaire playboy – Bruce Wayne.

Ranking the Best Batman Video Games

Ranking the Best Batman Video Games

Superhero franchises from the likes of DC Comics and Marvel have proven fruitful ground for games developers through the years, and the caped crusader regularly features at the top of their hitlist.

Batman is such an iconic figure, as are his merry band of support staff and enemies, that it's little wonder that the Arkham world has proven so fertile to the imaginations of software developers around the globe.

The upshot is that we, as gamers, have been able to benefit from a raft of different titles released on a variety of consoles through the years, and while some are instantly forgettable, others have proven to be a benchmark for gaming as a whole, rather than just elevating the adventures of Bruce Wayne and co. to another level.

If that has whetted your appetite for some Batman based gaming, here's a countdown of the five best video games featuring everybody's favorite crime-fighting ass kicker.

Arkham Asylum

Not only is this the best Batman video game ever made, it also represents something of a landmark moment for gaming as a whole.

Of course, open-world adventures are nothing new and the genre was pioneered by the Grand Theft Auto series years before, but Arkham Asylum was the first time that a superhero was dropped into such an environment.

And the results are stunning, with Rocksteady Studios producing an authentic representation which players can navigate using our hero's plethora of gadgets and gizmos (thanks for those, Alfred).

With an exclusive script penned by long-time Batman visionary Paul Dini, Arkham Asylum is a standalone title not based on a movie, but it was still able to draw big-name voice characters and Star Wars legend Mark Hamill is on great form as ever as The Joker and the game remains an inspiration for software developers the world over; not just as a comic book crossover, but as a new generation title of the highest quality in its own right.

Lego Batman: The Video Game

Voiced by Will Arnett, there's no doubt that Batman is the standout character of the Lego Movie series.

Here he's given his own video game, in which you must guide the caped crusader and Robin to victory over The Joker and his assorted goons.

But the real draw is the Lego game world, in which you can use bricks to create all manner of weird and wonderful gadgets and weapons.

It's super-fun, and a standout game in its own right.

Batman: Arkham Origins

Another run-out for the Arkham series here, and while the most recent release, Arkham Knight is the most visually stunning and completely unputdownable (that's a word, right?), it's the prequel that perhaps best captured the Batman universe.

Set on Christmas Eve, Arkham Origins delves deeper into the world of the caped crusader than ever before, giving players eight end-of-level bosses to overcome including The Joker and Bane.

Mixing stealth and close combat, you can frequent Gotham City as you wish while taking down the evil Black Mask and his cronies. An epic adventure.

Batman & The Joker Jewels

Time for something a little out of the ordinary now.

For many Batman aficionados, the world created by Christian Bale in the modern iterations was a welcome rejuvenation of the movie franchise.

But for many, it was the TV-based adventures of Adam West as our hero and the legendary Cesar Romero as The Joker that best encapsulate the comic book's tongue-in-cheek humor.

Batman & The Joker Jewels brings this world to the modern gamer, but in a unique format: as a slot game available at a number of online casinos.

Match a number of symbols, from Batman and The Joker to the Batmobile and his utility belt, and you could win genuine cash prizes.

And with many online casinos offering bonus funds and free spins, it's possible to take on Gotham City's baddest eggs and make some money at the same time!

Batman: Return of the Joker

In the early 1990s, video games were slightly less immersive than they are today thanks to the latest tech wizardry.

And so titles on consoles like the NES and Sega Mega Drive tended to be quite cartoony in look and generally play from left-to-right on a scrolling screen.

It was that formula that was used to great effect in Batman: Return of the Joker, a release for the Nintendo that sat alongside the likes of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage in the genre.

It looks a tad dated these days, but the gameplay is highly rewarding and you get to man the controls of both the Batmobile and Batwing. What's not to like about that?
