[Daisuke]

So a friend of mine sent me this message on Facebook...

Hey folks, I was just contacted by someone involved with commercial development for the new Capcom-developed CGI film, Resident Evil: Degeneration. Here is what she sent me:


"Breaking News

Interesting... This looks like a borderline-viral advertising campaign in order to convince bloggers to drum up publicity for RE:D of their own volition. Sort of like Nintendo's online Press Room, but more publicized.

In the future, you should know that these sorts of things can also be sent to the Ani-Gamers tipbox at tips@anigamers.com.
