Whispers in the digital breeze suggest that a remake of Resident Evil 0 is not just a pipe dream, but a project that might actually be lurking around the corner, possibly wearing a trench coat and sunglasses. The speculation gained traction when an eagle-eyed sleuth (or possibly a bored intern) discovered a tantalizing hint buried in the résumé of an actor who may or may not be more famous for dancing with raccoons in a Marvel video game.
Lights, Camera, Action!
In a plot twist worthy of a horror game, our friend Dusk Golem, known for spilling the proverbial beans about the Resident Evil universe, previously suggested that remakes of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica were in the works. And in a stunning turn of events, MP1st has stepped in to back up said claims with some actual evidence. Cue dramatic music.
The Case of the Mysterious Project Chamber
In an unexpected twist reminiscent of a last-minute reveal in a horror flick, actor Jon McLaren, who tackled the role of Star Lord in a video game (because why not bring intergalactic car thieves to pixel perfection?), noted something called “Project Chamber” in his online résumé. This charming title might just refer to a new AAA video game – that’s right, brace yourselves for the cinematic monstrosity!
Who’s Who in the Resident Evil Zoo?
Now here’s the kicker: Resident Evil 0’s leading lady is none other than Rebecca Chambers. So, could it be that McLaren is playing Rebecca? Let’s pump the brakes there—he does bear a slight resemblance to Billy Coen, the convict who’s just a tad more menacing than the average horror movie villain. One can only hope McLaren isn’t sharpening his axes while preparing for this role!
Going Back to the Capture Zone
To heighten the suspense, McLaren spilled the beans on his Project Chamber escapade being conducted at Beyond Capture Studios, a place that’s like Hogwarts for video game actors. You see, this magical studio previously handled all the casting and motion capture wizardry for the Resident Evil 4 remake. It’s basically their thing. So, the chances of Capcom knocking on their door again for the Resident Evil 0 remake? Pretty high. Sort of like a zombie at a buffet.
Capcom: The Remake Machine
For those not in the loop, Resident Evil 0 first graced the world as a GameCube exclusive in 2002. Talk about nostalgia! Capcom has been busy sprucing up the whole franchise like it’s preparing for a yard sale, having already delivered remakes for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 recently. It’s hard not to get excited over those high-def visuals, unless of course, horrors live on in the lack of snacks during gameplay.
The Future’s So Bright, It’s Scary
In an annual shareholder meeting that sounds strangely thrilling, Capcom was probed about their intentions regarding future remakes. Spoiler alert: they hinted at expanding beyond just the numbered titles. “High-end remakes only for numbered entries,” the shareholders cried! Capcom responded with a cryptic yet optimistic statement about discussions swirling around the possibilities for future expansions. Clearly, they’ve got a master plan, possibly involving a sinister boardroom and lots of coffee.
So, as the shadows grow longer, and excitement builds, the eerie question remains: does this mean a Resident Evil 0 remake will be creeping its way into the world soon? The answer, dear reader, lies somewhere between a groan-inducing jump scare and an angry zombie’s snarl—stay tuned!
