Paying homage to the classic Resident Evil Outbreak games, Outbreak: The New Nightmare is the first fully 3D title in Dead Drop Studios’ Outbreak series – and the sequel to Outbreak (released in 2017). Prepare yourself for an unforgiving survival horror experience that’s seldom seen today as you scavenge for supplies, explore environments with multiple characters (each with their own attributes), and struggle to survive against the undead – now more horrifying than ever!
“Retro survival horror games don’t really get made any more. The recent Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes are the closest we’ve come. Games like Resident Evil: Outbreak weren’t made at all … at least not until now! I happen to love retro/classic games and survival horror games in particular, so I knew there was a market for this type of unforgiving, hard-as-nails experience. That’s the genesis of the first Outbreak (originally a top-down 2D game) and now Outbreak: The New Nightmare.”
– Evan Wolbach (Founder, Dead Drop Studios)
Outbreak: The New Nightmare has been massively updated since its original Steam release. New features include:
Local split-screen co-op (vertical or horizontal)
Huge performance and graphics improvements (FPS, memory usage, real-time shadows and lighting, volumetric lighting, and more)
New scenarios/game content
New characters (Elena and Hank)
Nightmare difficulty mode
Radical weapon rebalancing (handguns/shotguns heavily buffed, random enemy spawns extremely reduced on Normal and Hard modes, hit detection from enemies greatly improved – and power weapons spawn in much earlier waves in Onslaught mode)
Improved animations
New weapon (DMR)
Enemy pathfinding/AI improvements (e.g., enemies don’t attack through doors – opening them instead)
Outbreak: The New Nightmare is now available on PS4 for $12.99.

Netflix’s home of all things geek – confirmed today that a scripted live action series inspired by Capcom’s massive Resident Evil franchise is coming to Netflix.
Building on one of the most popular, best selling survival horror video games of all time, Resident Evil will tell a brand new story across two timelines:
In the first timeline, fourteen-year-old sisters Jade and Billie Wesker are moved to New Raccoon City. A manufactured, corporate town, forced on them right as adolescence is in full swing. But the more time they spend there, the more they come to realize that the town is more than it seems and their father may be concealing dark secrets. Secrets that could destroy the world.
Cut to the second timeline, well over a decade into the future: there are less than fifteen million people left on Earth. And more than six billion monsters — people and animals infected with the T-virus. Jade, now thirty, struggles to survive in this New World, while the secrets from her past – about her sister, her father and herself – continue to haunt her.
ANDREW DABB, Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer, said: “Resident Evil is my favorite game of all time. I’m incredibly excited to tell a new chapter in this amazing story and bring the first ever Resident Evil series to Netflix members around the world. For every type of Resident Evil fan, including those joining us for the first time, the series will be complete with a lot of old friends, and some things (bloodthirsty, insane things) people have never seen before.”
EPISODES: 8 x 1-hour episodes
SHOWRUNNER/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/WRITER: Andrew Dabb (Supernatural)
DIRECTOR/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Bronwen Hughes (The Walking Dead, The Journey Is The Destination) will direct and executive produce the first two episodes
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Robert Kulzer and Oliver Berben of Constantin Film and Mary Leah Sutton
PRODUCER: Constantin Film CEO Martin Moszkowicz

ABOUT THE RESIDENT EVIL FRANCHISE:
Since Capcom first debuted the genre-defining survival horror title in 1996, Resident Evil has become one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, with more than 100 million games sold worldwide. Over the course of almost 25 years, the series has expanded beyond games into film adaptations and theme park attractions. The Resident Evil six-film franchise, produced by Constantin Film, has collectively earned more than $1.2 billion worldwide making it the most successful movie franchise based on a video game.
As the world continues to cope with a deadly pandemic, we struggle to find some sense of a ‘new normal’ and ways to combat the boredom of spending all, or a good part of our time at home. In a possible silver lining to the situation, artists and producers have begun to stretch their boundaries to create new and innovative entertainment, and the team at The Dark Zone Network is leading the pack!
Following the smash success of the first-of-its-kind live streaming event at the real Conjuring House, The Dark Zone Network is now proud to present a brand new worldwide interactive live streaming event starting August 28th from the notorious double murder scene, The Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts.
It was August 4, 1892 when the hacked-up bodies of Abby and Andrew Borden were discovered in the family home. The number one suspect? Their 32 year-old spinster daughter, Lizzie. Yet, she was brought to trial and acquitted by an all-male jury in unanimous agreement that a woman surely could not be capable of murder!
No one back then could have predicted the worldwide and enduring fascination with this as yet ‘unsolved’ cold case making it the most famous crime in America, second in the entire world only to the infamous Jack the Ripper murders in London, England.
The double murder of Lizzie Borden’s parents, Andrew and Abby seems to have stirred the spirits into great unrest, leaving The Lizzie Borden House perpetually occupied by roaming ghosts which, depending on the individual, frighten and delight guests of the now entitled Lizzie Borden B and B. Could it be the spirits are trying to tell us something? Are they restless because the crime is, to this day, officially unsolved?
“The Lizzie Borden Murder House” will be a 24-hour, 4-day-long live streaming immersive experience investigating not only the crime in search of answers, but also fully investigating the active haunting and anomalous activity of the location. With guests from television psychic Chris Fleming, to real Scotland Yard Homicide Inspector, Colin Taylor, we and our audience will try and get to the bottom of who really committed the evil acts and why the spirits are still so restless in the Borden House. The show will present never before seen evidence and take a closer look at the four other possible suspects. Who knows, maybe the ghosts will tell us whodunit!
The murder house will be set up with multiple cameras providing the audience with a completely immersive experience. Viewers will be an active part of investigations and all the activities that will be employed to connect with the spirits to uncover the truth. Audience members have a bird’s eye view to seances, Ouija board sessions and other live on-scene investigations and paranormal experiments, while adding their own input in the chat room feature. They’ll also be treated to appearances by some of the most well-known and respected luminaries in the paranormal and crime communities who will pop in remotely to share their most bone chilling experiences, analyses and evidence from the brutal murders.
“The Lizzie Borden Murder House” offers a global broadcast which gives our worldwide audience the opportunity to interact with each other and to act as remote ghost hunters and crime solvers. The feed runs 24 hours a day, enabling viewers to monitor multiple cameras looking for strange anomalies and share their potential evidence.
“The Lizzie Borden Murder House” can be viewed exclusively on the world’s first and only paranormal themed OTT platform, The Dark Zone Network (thedarkzone.tv). The Dark Zone Network is a one stop shop for all things paranormal. In addition to being the premiere hub for paranormal themed content, it’s also a community where enthusiasts from all over the world can congregate. DZ is first in the world to provide a global audience with unprecedented real time access.
In these times, it’s more important than ever to stay connected and “The Lizzie Borden Murder House” is an opportunity to join a worldwide paranormal and crime solving community. This is an event you won’t want to miss. The 24-hour, 4-day event runs from August 28th – August 31st. There will be a free preview, Thursday, August 27th at 8pm ET. For full access to the 4-day broadcast, the cost is $19.99.

DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today unveiled the DJI OM 4, a premium smartphone stabilizer that helps capture important moments that pull you in. The rebranded sequel to DJI’s popular Osmo Mobile line, the DJI OM 4, features a highly functional quick-snap magnetic phone attachment system, intuitive operation, upgraded motors, new creative capture modes and a portable folding design. As mobile phone cameras become more advanced, the DJI OM 4 optimizes their technology by helping anyone easily create smoother, higher quality and more visually appealing images and videos. Using high-quality materials, robust motors and the absolute latest in 3-axis stabilizer technology, the DJI OM 4 offers everyone an effortless way to capture compelling content with just a few taps of your finger.
The Smartphone Stabilizer You’ll Use Every Day
The DJI OM 4’s folding design makes it portable and convenient to take everywhere and the perfect companion for all of life’s adventures, whether on upcoming road trips, video conferencing with friends far away or summertime grilling in the backyard with family. On a full charge, the DJI OM 4 offers an impressive battery life of 15 hours and can also be used as a portable battery charger if need be. With durable, premium materials made to last and its easy to use features, the DJI OM 4 will quickly integrate into daily life as the smartphone stabilizer you won’t leave home without. It is compatible with the vast majority of smartphones. Using upgraded motors, it can now support a heavier weight than its predecessors.
“As the DJI OM smartphone stabilizers have evolved over the years, every iteration has made it easier for anyone to add rock-solid stabilization to their photos and videos. With its new magnetic attachment and folding design, the DJI OM 4 again goes farther so anyone, no matter their experience with gimbals, can pick it up and make content that pulls in the viewer,” said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. “As people around the globe now rely on their smartphones to navigate the new work-from-home world, stay connected with loved ones and showcase their lives, the DJI OM 4 is our phone’s companion we need to capture fun, smooth and magnetic moments.”
Easier Than Ever Before
The DJI OM 4 transforms handheld stabilizer technology with a new and unique high-grade magnetic attachment design that makes it simpler than ever to attach and balance your phone to DJI OM 4. Two new options allow for quick and easy attachment and detachment of your phone. A sleek, secure and lightweight metal clamp connects to the back of your phone and can remain fixed to it during daily use, while ready to instantly attach to the DJI OM 4. A second option removes the balancing step by sticking an aesthetically designed magnetic mount with ring holder onto the back of your phone allowing snapping onto DJI OM4 even easier. The intuitive design allows DJI OM 4 users to access and control its core features and functions with just one hand. When not in immediate use, the DJI OM 4 can stay in Standby Mode to be easily reactivated at any moment.
Capture Content You’ll Want To Share
The DJI OM 4 and the DJI Mimo app work together to help anyone generate top-quality content easily, with pre-programmed shooting modes and professional-grade features that make your photos and videos jump off the screen:
ActiveTrack 3.0: Select a subject for the DJI OM 4 to automatically track and let the gimbal do the work for you. Newly updated, the mode features improved distinction between subjects such as adults, children, and pets. Framing during ActiveTrack can now be adjusted by using the dedicated joystick for enhanced control.
Gesture Control: Easily start and stop video recording or take photos by using hand gestures to control the DJI OM 4, perfect for capturing an epic selfie or group footage without a finicky self-timer.
Pre-programmed Movements and Modes: Take advantage of unique gimbal movements and high-grade image modes that will make footage look like it was shot by a professional:
DynamicZoom: A visually appealing cinematic look, the DJI OM 4 automatically adjusts the zoom function to create the dramatic background shift made popular by Alfred Hitchcock.
Timelapse, Motionlapse, Hyperlapse: Show the passing of time in a sped-up form using TimeLapse; Motionlapse, which adds set movement points for the gimbal; or HyperLapse to physically move with the gimbal. All three modes use Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) technology as well as the 3-axis gimbal for an added level of smoothness. Easily share these creative videos on social media for the world to enjoy.
Slow-motion: Slow down the world around you in stunning detail with the Slow-motion feature.
Sport Mode: The DJI OM 4 will respond and follow subjects and movements faster to add a level of action to the scene.
Panoramas: Choose from three creative panorama options to capture a wider perspective including 3X3 panorama, 240°panorama and a new “CloneMe” panorama which allows the user to add multiple versions of a person or subject into one shot for a unique and creative effect.
Spin Shot Gimbal Movement: Activated in the DJI Mimo app and using the joystick, the gimbal will rotate the phone to give a spinning effect.
Story Mode Templates: Choose from one of the preset templates to add a creative spin to your content. The DJI OM 4 uses preset movements, music and color palates for quick videos perfect for sharing on social media.
Useful Accessories, an Intuitive DJI Mimo App
