- Capcom's Resident Evil games are about human tragedy, not zombies - 15 September 2020
After stumbling through the gloomier parts of the Spencer Mansion courtyard, past the crooked trees that haunt the dark and muddy paths, you arrive at a ramshackle wooden cabin. Inside is a typewriter and an item box, both familiar symbols of safety, but this is no sanctuary. The sweetly haunting keys of the safe room theme are absent. You're right to be cautious at this point as the cabin is anything but safe. The obstacle that Resident Evil HD Remaster throws at you here - another malformed, nigh-invincible monstrosity in a series teeming with them - is nothing remarkable at face value. It's a shambling mess of clanking shackles and tentacles in a Leatherface mask; a checklist of series mainstays and horror homage. It's only later on, once you're able to put a name to this collector of faces, that the tragedy of the encounter surfaces. The Resident Evil brand is horror, action, and hi…
- Have You Played Resident Evil? - 18 October 2019
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. There’s a lot about Resident Evil that is laughably bad and has always been that way. “Master of unlocking.” “Almost a Jill Sandwich.” But there’s a ton that’s been updated since its early polygonal days on the PlayStation. Its current remastered version on Steam is the best way to play it. I still haven’t finished it. (more…)
- The Joy of burning zombos in Resident Evil HD Remaster - 17 January 2019
Resident Evil HD Remaster is a three-year-old shine-job of a 17-year-old remake of a 23-year-old console game that I d have little problem believing was a modern release if those corridor dogs weren t seared into my memory and stained into my underoos. That those corridor dogs are stained into our collective underoos (the vast interconnected underoo network that binds us all) suggests that Resident Evil is best remembered as a scripted spookfest: a one-and-done ghost train ride. You d be wrong, though, to make that hypothetical assumption I just invented to give my next point gravitas, you big wrong strawberry. (more…)
- Hey person, see the first Resident Evil in first-person - 24 January 2017
Resident Evil 7 shifting the core series into a first-person perspective is an interesting change, but what if it had been that way all along? One enterprising Evil Resident (as I imagine RE fans probably call themselves I guess) has whipped up a prototype of the first Resident Evil running in first-person, cutscenes and all. It is weird/cool to see something so very familiar from a new perspective. The prototype likely won’t be completed or released publicly but here, have a look in these videos. …
- Spooky Voice: Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster Announced - 26 May 2015
Biohazard 0 , a poem by Alice O’Connor age 31 Biohazard Do you cry, o hazard? They call you a ‘Resident Evil’ Those nasty people Then sneer that you’re ‘Zero’ But o hazard look at you now: a hero You’re being redone by Capcom who make Devil May Cry which has a character named Nero. …

- Wot I Think: Resident Evil HD Remaster - 19 January 2015
Originally released in 1996 and remade in 2002, Resident Evil is one of the giants of survival horror. This new release is the first appearance of the remake on PC and it comes hot on the heels of director Shinji Mikami’s return to survival horror. Far more than an object of historical curiosity, it’s a smartly designed and claustrophobic masterpiece. …
