Trailers, Commercials, Promos.
The marketing concepts behind every product out there - and videogames,
and Resident Evil of course, are no different.
Capcom has released a number of video trailers and commercials over the years and so we've decided to give you info about ones already on the site as well as add a whole bunch of new ones for you to watch as well. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. - Rombie & Roody |

Biohazard 3: Last Escape (1999) / Japan Firstly a couple of 15 second
commercials for the Japanese version of Resident Evil 3. The caution
tape on the second trailer was actually a large part of the Japanese
promotion and everything related to it in stores in Japan was covered
in the tape. The US commercial was created
in a time in 1999 where, for some odd reason, Capcom USA got all
stylish with their concepts instead of sticking to the old text/scene
format (which they've gone back to since). >> You can watch the JPN video #1 here |

Code Veronica (1999/2000) / Japan There is a large mix of trailers
here for Code Veronica, from a teaster released for the demo and
Biohazard 2, two coded ones showing brief scenes of the CGI and
the game, to a couple of odd promotional ones also from Japan
which highlight the overall concept of the game. >> You can watch the Biohazard 2/CV video here |

Biohazard Gun Survivor (2000) / Japan The game may not have been so great in a lot of peoples eyes, but I actually like this commercial for the shear simple concept - something which speaks about the series and the concept of handing out weapons to survive. The woman in the commercial has actually returned for other commercials in the "Survivor" series until Gun Survivor 3 (Dino Stalker in the US) where she carried every weapon in the game (including a rocket launcher) on her back through a jungle while holding a G-Con 2 as well. |

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (2000) / Germany The irony of these two commercials, which tout that the game is so scary that they can only show a brief scene, is that the German version of the game is notable for it's lack of gore and zombies which flash and disappear in a puff of smoke. But I have to give it to Eidos, who released RE3 in Europe, that these commercials were clever. >> You can watch the 1st video here |
