Resident Evil Revelations 2 announced; first trailer for remastered Resi 1

[Update: Capcom have confirmed that Resident Evil Revelations 2 is indeed coming to PC.]

The bad news is that Revelations 2 won't feature Chris or Jill, instead starring a new set of characters. The other bad news is that a PC version of 2 wasn't mentioned, but seeing as the original eventually wended its way onto Steam, it seems likely that we'll be getting the sequel too.

Without further ado, here's that trailer for the Resident Evil remaster. If you want more footage, you could probably watch a Let's Play of the Gamecube game and squint a bit, but, to be less a jerk, it will be nice to be able to (officially) play it on PC and in a higher resolution, with some nifty new lighting effects.

Revelations 2 unfortunately only had a 'concept teaser' on show, which shows a girl running slowly through a room filled with people, people quickly replaced by hungry zombies. Wristbands are being used to mark healthy types from the infected, with the display turning from green to red when someone's about to get a bit bitey. I hear—topical joke—that FIFA's implementing a similar system for Luis Suárez.

Revelations 2, and the Resident Evil remaster, will both be out in Japan "Early 2015".
