The long-suffering series known as Resident Evil Survivor has seemingly gone through the creative ringer and back -- and more than a few times. But the prolific and relentless development teams at Capcom Japan continue to hammer away in the attempt to get this series right, and perhaps this time they have. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Resident Evil Dead Aim returns gamers to the horror-filled landscapes of Umbrella-bred fright, only this time it's with a new character by the name of Bruce MacGavin, AND you get to finally use the gamer-friendly GunCon 2. That's right, Capcom isn't holding back on this one.

Using a unique combination of a third-person perspectives camera for exploration and a first-person shooter angle for shooting, Resident Evil Dead Aim is a faster-paced shooter that takes place on a cruise ship that's been pirated deep at sea, and naturally it's crawling with T-virus infected creatures hungry for your flesh.

The entire game takes place on a cruise ship. Players must use ammunition economically even when they add the grenade launcher, assault rifle, particle rifle, handgun and shotgun to their inventories. They explore the whole of the ship, from the decks to the engine rooms, the cargo sections to the underwater test center as they battle hideously mutated creatures in their battle for live and the hope of escape.

Resident Evil Dead Aim is the fourth in the RE Survivor series (notice how it doesn't have the word Survivor it it?), and this one already looks visually polished, quick-moving, responsive at the controls, and markedly better than any games in the series thus far.

While it would be untrue to say that we can't wait for this one, it's is fair to say that we are curious to play it and give the series another chance. Heck, it's a perfect excuse to dust off that lovely orange light-gun, ain't it? Resident Evil Dead Aim is scheduled to ship in June 2003.

Survivor wasn't that bad.

So what do you think? Has Capcom got it down right this time?
