Which ‘Resident Evil’ Game(s) Have You Played?
All this Resident Evil news got me thinking about the games in the series that I have yet to even try. I’ve been a fan of the series longer than I haven’t at this point, but I still haven’t gotten around to playing most of the mobile entries, like Dead Aim, Deadly Silence and The Mercenaries 3D.
And this isn’t about the quality of the game, or which one is “best”. This is about seeing which standalone Resident Evil, i.e. no ports or remasters, is the most-played game in the series among you, our fair and gentle readers. So in the poll below, let me know which game(s) you’ve played, and feel free to offer up some details in the comments. And if you’ve played at least 2/3 of them, or about 14 of the 22 games on this list, make sure you include that in your comment so we can have you wear a scarlet ‘R’ on your chest.
Don’t worry, it’s not like we’re going to use it to identify you for Capcom’s death squads — they all dress exactly like the HUNK, in case you were curious — because that would be wrong.
Regarding the Resident Evil news I mentioned earlier, if you missed it, it appears we may be hearing from Resident Evil 7 at E3 next month, and in addition to that, it sounds like Capcom’s very interested in continuing the (fantastic) Revelations series.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
