Capcom has revealed that the upcoming Resident Evil Revelations 2, which stars Claire Redfield and Moira Burton (Barry Burton’s daughter), will be released in episodic format.

Each episode will retail for $6 each while the entire collection will cost $25, adding some additional content on top. If you pick up the game on disc format for $50, you’ll have even “further gameplay content” to experience according to Capcom. The main difference between this and, say, Telltale’s The Walking Dead is that each episode of Resident Evil Revelations will be released one week apart.

The purpose is to treat the game like a weekly TV show full of cliffhangers that will subsequently “spur further conversation and speculation.” No, we don’t think it’ll be the next Breaking Bad but Capcom is trying something new without outright altering the gameplay.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 will release early 2015 for PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One and PC. Thoughts on how it’s shaping up? Let us know in the comments.

Game of Thrones will be adapted into a video game series courtesy of The Walking Dead developer Telltale Games, and The New York Times has revealed that sci-fi author Ty Franck, who works as an assistant to author George RR Martin, is consulting on the game. Franck is known for Leviathan Wakes, part of the Expanse series, and is fairly established as an author. Being Martin’s assistant only sweetens the deal.

Regarding Telltale’s reputation, HBO global licensing VP Josh Goodstadt stated that, “We were struck by the sophisticated level of work and high-quality approach to storytelling in all of their games. We quickly recognized that this same level of quality and dedication could be a great complement to the richness of Game of Thrones.”

Game of Thrones is currently slated to release this year and will release in an episodic format. It’s most likely destined for PC and home consoles but we’ll wait to see if it comes to PS4 and Xbox One.

Remember when Valve Software first released Half Life 2: Episode 1 and announced that a “new Half Life” would be coming every month? Eventually it took its sweet time with Episode 2, though it promised that with the release of Episode 3, the entire run would form Half Life 3. That also failed to come to pass, but with the success of multiple episodic games – and Valve clearly showing its expertise in crafting the same – is it too far-fetched to think that Half Life 3 could be the same?

From The Wolf Among Us to even Metal Gear Solid 5 – which was split into two parts as Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain – Half Life 3 Episodes would prove financially and creatively viable. Fans don’t like your initial direction? Take their feedback and implement it in the next episode. A single game takes too long? Split it into 20 episodes for all we care. At this point, is more Half Life really a criticism?

Valve may face its fair share of flak, considering that Kojima Productions’ approach was met with criticism. However, as stated before, the company is capable of crafting solid episodic experiences within the span of a few hours. Would it hurt to take the same approach with Half Life 3?
