Capcom and Sony Pictures presented the world premier of their feature-length CG movie Resident Evil: Degeneration at the Tokyo Game Show Friday. Set seven years after the events in Raccoon City that anchored the survival horror franchise, the film stars regulars Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. Headed to the showing I wasn't really sure what to expect, but never would I have expected it to provide as many answers that help stitch together the story line and get things in order going into the upcoming Resident Evil 5 as it does (and they even showed a little teaser from the game at the end to underscore the connections).

When Alone in the Dark was released a few months back, it fell pretty well short of our expectations. While the fire dynamics and elaborate set pieces set the game apart from other survival horror titles, they were hampered by nagging design flaws and control issues -- check out 1UP's review of the 360 version for full details on that. Luckily though, Atari has not turned a blind eye to these issues when it comes to the upcoming PS3 port of the game. The company has announced that the next version of the game is addressing so many of the original release's known problems that it warrants a new title: Alone in the Dark: Inferno.

What's the game about? Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Doug Smith's gold-grabbin' classic with appropriate style.
