Relive Chapter ‘Zero’ In The Latest ‘Resident Evil’ Remaster!

by Matt Rodriguez

Today, the Resident Evil 0 remaster is available on the PlayStation Store (both PS3 and PS4), as well as the Xbox 360 and Xbox One marketplace!

This chilling tale of what happens before the first Resident Evil, following Rebecca Chambers–a member of S.T.A.R.S, in the first noted instance of a zombie sighting in the Resident Evil world!  It also sheds some light on the backstories of William Birkin and Albert Wesker, two of the main antagonists of the Resident Evil series.  Although Resident Evil 0 has been ported many times, this would be the first time that the game has been remastered in HD from top to bottom.  It also includes an extra never-before-seen mode, Wesker mode, which allows you to use an overpowered “Ouroboros virus” enhanced Wesker, although it isn’t mentioned whether he’s used for the main game or side missions.  It has also been announced that this mode is non-canon, designed simply for the pure thrill of annihilating everything in sight with an overpowered Wesker!

This exciting prequel is available for download today at $19.99, or available in the Resident Evil Origins Collection, only available at retail locations for $39.99. The Resident Evil Origins Collection also includes the HD remaster of the first Resident Evil game, which is the game that helped bolster the survival horror genre to new heights!  It is also worth noting that the Resident Evil HD remaster was released on January 20, 2015, almost exactly a year before today.  Who knows?  Maybe we’ll be seeing another RE remaster next year, around the same time.

Watch The First Trailer For ‘Powers’ Second Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As mixed as reception was for Sony’s adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s acclaimed comic series Powers was, the series was still beyond popular enough to receive a second season order.

The first season is available in full to Playstation Plus subscribers, and Sony’s VP of Platforms Marketing John Koller states that “The reception to ‘Powers’ has been incredible and we are thrilled to have successfully launched a platform for original content with the PlayStation gamer in mind. We believe original content will continue to be a key pillar as we broaden the value proposition for PlayStation Plus, and we’re excited for what’s to come with season two of ‘Powers.’”

Bendis adds that  “We are so grateful to the PlayStation nation and fans of Powers for supporting us and making the second season a reality. I speak for the entire cast & crew when I say that we are really excited about season two and the opportunity to tell the story of the biggest case in Powers history.”

Season two of Powers is without a solid debut date at this point, but in any case, it’s coming in 2016. Take a look at the first look trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Go Behind-the-Scenes of the Upcoming PlayStation Series ‘Powers’

by Eric Francisco

In about three weeks will be the premiere of the PlayStation-exclusive series, Powers. Man, a PlayStation TV series. What a time to be alive.

I admit I’m not very familiar with the original graphic novel from Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, but just from this sneak peek it has my attention.

What I’m dwelling on is that it’s a PlayStation series. I remember reading in Console Wars how Sega wanted their Genesis to be an online, multi-media hub of sorts but was handcuffed by its time. Now, a video game console can create a compelling television series and no one thinks it’s that weird. The doors are opening, the pillars are falling and it’s so exciting to me.

Powers premieres March 10 on the PlayStation Store. The first three episodes will be available, followed by a new episode weekly.
