‘Lakeview Cabin Collection’ Coming to Consoles July 19 [Trailer]

Published

on

Similar to The Glass Staircase back in May, Torture Star Video and Puppet Combo are giving console fans a blast from the past later this month with the announcement that their 2015 Steam title Lakeview Cabin Collection will be coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox Series on July 19th. The Nintendo Switch version is still in the approval process.

The sequel to the popular 2013 Flash title by Roope Tamminen, in the Lakeview Cabin Collection, you’re asked the simple question of “What would you do if you found yourself in a slasher film?” Players take control of characters in one of four highly replayable scenarios in this anthology of horror flicks that “harken back to the halcyon days of gory classics.” Survive a few nights at a lakeside camp. Escape from a clan of cannibals. Summon a powerful entity to protect the neighborhood from a killer. Stop the spread of an alien infection. Each one twists the free-form sandbox puzzle gameplay in new directions, ensuring that you never feel safe.

You’ll be thrown right into the deep end with nothing but four protagonists, a collection of items, and your knowledge of horror plots. Experiment with everything you can find while avoiding the deadly antagonists. Test your wits by exploring, setting up traps, and taking the fight to the killers. Can you weaponize the motorbike? Can getting drunk somehow help you survive? With a little of your ingenuity, the protagonists might live to see the sequel.

Currently (and if you just can’t wait), Lakeview Cabin Collection has a 60% discount during the Steam Summer Sale until July 11th.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
