There were a surprising amount of Resident Evil games released in 2012. Capcom published Revelations in late January, Operation Raccoon City in May, and closed out the year with Resident Evil 6 in October. Don’t forget: The Mercenaries also launched in June of 2011.
The amount of titles released during the past couple of years may have been a bit too much, according to Resident Evil: Revelations producer Masachika Kawata:
“I think certainly looking at the last year or two, there probably were a few too many. I think we learned last year that putting on a lot of titles would not necessarily win over gamers. At the same time, I don’t think we should just stagger them out artificially because that’s the solution to the problem we have. We should always start by asking how do we make the games better. And if the solution to making the games better is to have a more staggered release than we’ve had recently then that’s something we’ll do. But we’ll do it for that reason and not just for flipping what we’ve done already.”
Resident Evil fans can look forward to one more entry this year, though it’s updated version of the 3DS title Revelations.
Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios will be “announcing something special” for Injustice: Gods Among Us next week. Fans can look forward to a “first glimpse at a new character’s game play footage” on Monday.
The official Injustice Facebook page teases:
“We’re announcing something special on Monday. Rumor has it you’ll get your first glimpse at a new character’s game play footage. Tell your friends.”
Look forward to the update in just a few day’s time.
