Resident Evil and Onimusha composer exposed as a fraud |
"Resident Evil and Onimusha composer Mamoru Samuragochi has admitted hiring someone else to write his music for nearly two decades, according to the Japan Times.
The 50-year-old, dubbed the "Japanese Beethoven", lost his hearing completely at the age of 35 but continued to work using what he calls his "absolute pitch". In Japan he is most famous for Hiroshima Symphony No 1, which he dedicated to those killed in the 1945 atomic blast, but gamers know him best for his work on Capcom's Resident Evil and Onimusha.
According to Samuragochi's promotional website, he composed the music for 1997's Resident Evil: The Director's Cut, called Biohazard in Japan, while hiding "his severe hearing disability and living under harsh conditions".

Main Resident Evil Fanbase Is In Its 30s And 40s |
Fri 27 Dec 2013, 8:32 AM by xfactor |
The “main user group” for the Resident Evil games is now in its late-30s to 40s, Capcom have revealed. In a feature highlighting the series on their Investor Relations website, Capcom say that this poses the risk of these fans growing older and older and eventually outgrowing videogames altogether.
As always, the solution is to try and appeal to a younger generation of gamers, in an effort to ensure that you always have new players being introduced to the Resident Evil games. One approach Capcom are taking to help facilitate this is carrying out collaborations with fashion magazines.
Capcom say they’re collaborating with fashion brands that are popular among young people to help give Resident Evil more exposure among the youth.
Other marketing and promotional activities include appealing to non-gamers through a “Halloween Horror Night” event held in alliance with Universal Studios Japan and the opening of a Resident Evil café in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Wesker's Extra Report - narrated by D.C. Douglas as Albert Wesker |
The folks over at Project Umbrella have prepared another great holiday treat for Biohazard fans.
DC Douglas reprises his role as Albert Wesker and has narrated Wesker's Extra report.
The report was never widely circulated in the original Japanese or English. This is a fantastic opportunity for those who are not familiar with it to hear it read from Wesker himself!
Thanks to D.C. Douglas for engaging with the Resident Evil community and generously working with Project Umbrella to make it happen.
And thank you to Project Umbrella for organising the recording, and for making an accurate and up to date translation of the original Japanese file.

Did you know? -- Kickstarters and what not! |
|
Slow news ... quarter!
It's a slow news period, that's for sure. Some are drooling (or complaining) over the obvious existence of a new Resident Evil project at Capcom, some are counting the minutes and Facebook likes since the previous update on Team IGAS' Resident Evil 1.5 restoration project, others waiting for The Evil Within from Shinji Mikami and his new band of developers, and some are clearly eyeing other stuff going on online in the world of gaming and what not.
Kickstarter's undoubtadly become one of the biggest promises in gaming this past year or so, with countless developers promising to try their best to deliver products that fulfills all your wildest dreams, wants, wishes, and expectations -- at a price. Some even allow the expecting and excited fans to contribute with content of their own -- again, at a price.
Some kickstarters might hit closer to home than others, be it 'cause they are for projects that'd be dreams come true for you or because maybe you're somehow involved and invested yourself?
The Next Car Game kickstarter, for instance, is for extra funding for BugBear's new racing/demolition game (which is a sort of mash up of FlatOut and Destruction Derby) and one of the designers on the game is an old colleague and former roommate of yours truly. "Small world" 
The recently succesfull kickstarter for the Mysterioues Cities of Gold video game caught the attention of a few of our former forum regulars whom aren't as active on the forums as they used to be, but possibly more interesting to some of you would be that the translations into some of the additional languages supported were actually provided by a few of our staff members here at THIA. (Yeah... We're working ... that's why we're always slacking on the site and boards)
So, what about you folks? Any kickstarters you're following or eager about? What would you fund on kickstarter if popped up? Maybe one of the many attempts at bringing back classic survival horror? Outbreak clones? |
