Capcom is Unstoppable, as in that movie about a runaway train that was way better than a movie about a runaway train had any right to be. After a few failed attempts to make a Resident Evil game that didn’t piss everyone off, they’ve gone into overdrive. The 5-games-in-1 approach clearly didn’t work out for Resident Evil 6, so they’ve switched tactics.
Now they’re giving us all the Resident Evils.
It begins in January with the arrival of the Resident Evil 0 remaster and the Origins Collection it comes packaged in, followed by the Umbrella Corps spin-off soon after. Then we have the still far-off Resident Evil 2 remake and the unofficial-but-definitely-coming Resident Evil 7. And two feature-length films, which Capcom supervises.
It all begins with Resident Evil 0, so I’m going to shut up now so the game’s producer Tsukasa Takenaka can tell you all about it.
Resident Evil 0 is slated to hit PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in January. For a more in-depth look at the game, here’s a series of developer diaries: PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, PART 4.
