If the GameCube-exclusive Resident Evil remake had sold better, the series may never have become so driven by action. Series creator Shinji Mikami, formerly of Capcom and now working on The Evil Within at Bethesda-owned Tango Gameworks, told IGN it was a natural result of broadening Resident Evil 4's development.
RESIDENT EVIL (1996) Original Cast Reunion & Interview with Linda - Rebecca Chambers, Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith & Eric Pirius.
A fan-made Resident Evil short film has been released, and it tells the story of one of the original game's most terrifying and iconic diary entries.
Fantastic homage to a memorable part of the original. The authenticity to the source material is outstanding and blows away all of the pathetic Hollywood adaptations that we've had to endure as fans. The addition of Chris Redfield's original actor AND (separate) voice actor is fantastic! Heck, even the CGI was pretty good given the total budget of $55k to make this.
Thank GOG for that!
I feel like they should have included the original games with the remakes they've been doing.
of-course it wasn't going to sell, it was a GameCube exclusive! The console itself sold poorly and the only software that moved was the usual Nintendo franchises.
Is Capcom really this stupid? All their games like Resident Evil 0, the remake, Viewtiful Joe, P.N. 03... Everything flopped, even RE4, that's why they ended up porting it to the PS2 a year later.
I think a more relevant question is how did the PS2 version sell?
I know all of like 2 people who owned a GameCube...
In my opinion Res5 and Res6 lost their way and joined the third person shooter genre. Don't try and force feed the fans with 13 year old scripted gameplay and over the top COD action.
Uhhh well the "Action Rebirth" sucked huge ass.
