Watch: Ian plays Resident Evil Zero HD live from 5:30pm

All aboard.

Video producer Ian Higton will be hopping aboard the Ecliptic Express and cracking into the Resident Evil Zero HD remake live on our YouTube channel later on today. When I offered to save him some time and write this blog for him, Ian requested that I let you all know that he has never played Resident Evil Zero before in his life. I think that's a fair shout, and an important piece of info to pass on, because as someone who has played Resi Zero many times before, I'm very much looking forward to seeing how confused he gets.

Resident Evil Zero, for those of you who don't know or need reminding, allows you to switch control between its two protagonists, Billy Cohen and Rebecca Chambers, and it'll often require inventory to be shared and items to be passed between the two when they are, inevitably, forcibly separated. Add to this Resi's already established penchant for abstruse puzzles, bullet-sponging corpses and one inexperienced livestream host and you've got yourself a recipe for a very entertaining disaster. See you at 5:30pm.
