Resident Evil: The Final Chapter is coming out in a week(!), and as the last in a five-movie franchise, it’s the culmination of 15 years of zombies and Hives and Alices and Umbrella Corporations that we’ve grown up with. If you need a bit of a refresher before heading into the last installment — and it’s usually a good idea, since these movies tend to pick up pretty soon after the previous one left off — it can seem like a daunting prospect. That is, unless you have Milla Jovovich herself to recap the whole series for you in record time.
Along with some tidbits of new shows and movies coming to us all in the next year, NYCC has also gifted us all with an extended look at Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the sixth and last installment in the franchise that has so far given us five different ways to end the world...
No film franchise has more endings than Resident Evil. The second movie was Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which sounds mighty final. Nope! Next came Resident Evil: Extinction. Hell, nothing follows extinction. Except the Afterlife! That was the next movie. Only the fifth movie, Resident Evil: Retribution, didn’t sound like a nod toward a conclusion. And now there’s Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the finalest final Resident Evil yet! At least until the next movie.
Capcom has just announced the Resident Evil 6 Premium Edition, which has to be the most expensive video game special edition of all time. It costs 105,000 yen, which sounds like a lot of money and it certainly is- $1291.50 by this morning’s exchange rate.

This is not the Resident Evil you were expecting. Capcom decided to take a detour before the sixth installment of their survival horror series to bring some squad-based multiplayer to the zombie-infested property. To do so they enlisted the help of developer Slant Six Games, the team behind multiple ‘SOCOM’ titles, and the results are a bit mixed.
