Resident Evil Zero: From Prototype to HD Remaster
Did you know Resident Evil Zero was originally supposed to be a Nintendo 64 game? Halfway through development, Capcom canned the N64 version, which was due in 2000, and started work on the GameCube version that came out in 2002. You can see some of the earliest footage in the video above, which follows Resident Evil Zero's evolution from prototype to HD remaster.
The N64 prototype of Resident Evil Zero boasts the same bright colors and angular characters as the earliest Resident Evil games. The much darker, grimier GameCube version we know today shares a similar style to the Resident Evil REmake, also from 2002.
Resident Evil Zero follows the adventure of Rebecca Chambers, a member of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team that the protagonists of the first Resident Evil were sent out to rescue following a helicopter crash.

The Legend of Korra Graphic Novel Series Announced
Avatar: The Last Airbender and its spinoff series The Legend of Korra may be over, but the legacy of both continues thanks to Dark Horse Comics. Last year at San Diego Comic-Con, there was many a tearbender for what was thought to be the last panel with co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, but today the dynamic duo reunited to announce an all-new graphic novel series based on The Legend of Korra!
But prior to that, Konietzko and DiMartino recalled some of their favorite moments from the series. When asked what the most rewarding aspect of finishing The Legend of Korra was, DiMartino said he and Konietzko were thrilled to see the positive reaction to the finale, specifically the final few minutes. "It's been so great to see how much it connected with everyone," DiMartino said. "We knew people would hopefully enjoy it, but you never know... It's touched people on an emotional level that I didn't expect."
