Equally as interesting, the lead CGI artist from Biohazard Rebirth's environments will be acting as lead environment artist of this project. Rebirth is widely considered one of the most atmospheric titles of all time. All things considered, Project Zwei looks to be a stand out title in every regard. While no platform has been set, it is said to be arriving in the later portion of 2013. Check back for more information as it becomes available.

nice, i really loved the way RER looked.

[Yoshichan]

I just replayed REmake and it looks gorgeous.

Zwei will look good.

[dc89]

REMakes environments were outstanding. So yeah, this should have great atmosphere and aesthetics.

[Lord Ghirahim]

Excellent.

[KiNeSiS]

Re Remake looks great to this day!

[Nibel]

Excellent.

I have the feeling that they will deliver.

[Carbonox_Ratchet]

Great news. What do we know about this project so far outside of this?

[King of the Potato People]

Great news. What do we know about this project so far outside of this?

Not much, it's a survival horror by Shinji Mikami.

[SixFourMike]

I just squealed. Accidentally, but this news excites me all the same.

Not much, it's a survival horror by Shinji Mikami.

That's all I need to know, personally. This game was already a "Shut up and take my money" status game, and this news sets that in stone.

[Glass Rebel]

Great news. What do we know about this project so far outside of this?

That Mikami is going to embarrass the rest of the industry.

[Nibel]

That Mikami is going to embarrass the rest of the industry.

If he is on his RE4/Vanquish level - easily.

[Seik]

Not much, it's a survival horror by Shinji Mikami.

Those two facts alone are full of promises for this game.

[Jonnyram]

Is that site official? It looks like a fan site.
Not to mention it's using a .net domain.

[Messofanego]

Why is it called Zwei?

[cvxfreak]

It is a fan site. The webmaster is the same person who runs Biohaze.com.

[Nemesis_]

I am definitely here for this.

Why is it called Zwei?

I believe it's a code name / project name.

Great news. What do we know about this project so far outside of this?

We have a quote from Mikami.

A true “survival horror” game is one in which the player confronts and overcomes fear … I've found my focus and once again I'm striving for pure survival horror. I am being very hands-on in the development of this game to ensure that the quality is there. Rest assured.

[Glass Rebel]

If he is on his RE4/Vanquish level - easily.

[ZombieTimeMachine]

!!!!!!!!!!

I already can't wait for this.

[SolarPowered]

A shiver just ran down my spine when I read the title. All of you bastards had better be there day one when the game drops or we deserve to drown in CoD and RE6.

[abstract alien]

That just sold me a copy. Not that I wasn't buying already, but now it's really sold.

[JoeFenix]

This is fantastic news, REmake has INCREDIBLE art design. So atmospheric!

I love Mikami but he isn't as bulletproof as someone like Kamiya, I don't know what to expect from this game but I'm getting hyped just thinking about it!

Sounds like he's going in fullblast, out to prove a point. Can't wait until this is shown!

[Corto]

"Survivial Horror" hehehehe Yeah it's fake.

[Mik2121]

While I'm looking forward to this, you guys have to remember that the environments were pre-rendered. Not saying that this project will look bad. In fact I hope it looks good, but it's just not exactly the same stuff. Pre-rendered backgrounds means no polygon limit, no lighting limit, just do whatever you want...

First Zombi with the one death nail biting gameplay, and now this? Horror just might make a come back.

[immortal-joe]

I forgot, who's supposed to be publishing this?

Yes, but the point here is whether or not the environments are pre-rendered, but the atmosphere it ensues. Since limitations of age-old tech are lifted, this kind of criticism is way overdue.

[Lord Ghirahim]

http://projectzwei.net/index.html

[Corto]

And the Site header has the same typo.

This seems to be the official site, with the same quote without the typo:

http://www.tangogameworks.com/project/index_en.html

[Totobeni]

I forgot, who's supposed to be publishing this?

Bethesda since Tango Gameworks is owned by Zenimax.

It's really great that a publisher like Bethesda/Zenimax going full force on a pure survival horror game (dead genre for many big publishers in this day and age).

[UrbanRats]

Full focus Mikami..
Survival Horror..
Background artist from REbirth..

[the TMO]

Awesome News! Hope to see REmake CGI in a realtime version in future BTW.

[InfiniteNine]

Well this game is guaranteed to be beautiful then. O:

[Bluemercury]

I forgot, who's supposed to be publishing this?

The horrible bethesda....

[Rhazer Fusion]

Can't wait for this. Should be truly outstanding.

[Hindle]

I can't wait. This is the guy who will bring the genre back trust.

[salromano]

It is a fan site. The webmaster is the same person who runs Biohaze.com.

I've seen reports on this from Doope, Polygon, Siliconera, and VG247, and each of them calls this site 'official' in some capacity. Clearly, it's not.

That said, Bethesda Softwarks has 1) still not announced a release window for Zwei and 2) has not confirmed this Resident Evil Rebirth CGI artist as a staff member.

So there's no news here then, yeah? Other than a community opening for fans of the project.

[abstract alien]

Bethesda? Eh...so long as they don't touch the game at all I guess.

[Yama]

I'll take it as a compliment, haha. The site was never written as official, a simple five second read would have made that clear, along with the 'yamaink' tag and link to the left. Apparently news posters are quick to hit submit without reading things in full.

As for the lead environment artist, that is in fact news, just not current. It has been known for quite some time, but perhaps not wide spread. Shinji Mikami has hired lead art and environment director Naoki Kataki (Biohazard Gamecube) for the project. So do rejoice in that regard.

Thanks, fixed the 'REVELAITONS' style error.

Ah, just searched up his name. But by definition, news should be current, unless referring to news of the past. As it turns out, it was revealed Naoki Kataki joined Tango in November 2010. Performing a quick Google search reveals that the outlets publishing this story today have already reported on it in 2010.

[AuthenticM]

Wait, is the game going to be all pre-rendred backrounds ?

[shagg_187]

Sounds like Resident Evil for WiiU.

[SolarPowered]

It is about the atmosphere. If there is someone out there who gets atmosphere it is the folks who worked on REmake.

[amar212]

Both Mikami and Bethesda loves am money. I highly doubt exclusivity with this-gen such saturated.

I see it as an this-gen release, WiiU included.

[abstract alien]

Sounds like Resident Evil for WiiU.

As awesome as it would be, I bet Nintendo would have been chomping at the bits to get that one under their publishing wing. Don't see it happening, but I would love to eat all the crow if so. Gamepad is the best yet for survival horror.

[Riposte]

It is about the atmosphere. If there is someone out there who gets atmosphere it is the folks who worked on REmake.

Sure.

Then again most people fail to realize there is more to atmosphere than "moody" (raining) and "spooky" (dark), or some combination of the both. It astonishes me that those are pretty much the only situations where the word atmosphere or atmospheric get used on GAF, despite the obvious fact that most games, including "AAA blockbusters", have a clear atmosphere for their scenes (i.e. a mood).

[Neff]

A shiver just ran down my spine when I read the title. All of you bastards had better be there day one when the game drops or we deserve to drown in CoD and RE6.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mikami liked RE6.

[KeeSomething]

Not much, it's a survival horror by Shinji Mikami.

Fuck me with a spoon I'm sold!

[Feindflug]

Great news! REmake's environments were amazing, Zwei is my most anticipated title of 2013 already...hopefully we'll see some screenshots or even a teaser in the next weeks.
