Next year is the 20th anniversary of Resident Evil (Biohazard here in glorious Nippon) and the only Resident Evil game dated for 2016 at the moment is the newly announced Biohazard: Umbrella Corps. It is an online, competitive third-person shooter, which is emblematic of the last six years of Capcom failing to know what to do about Resident Evil, starting with the confused, bankrupt Resident Evil 5.
Now that Resident Evil 3 remake is less than a month away, here's a look back at the other times Capcom reimagined the 1999 classic game.
Behind AC: New Horizons, this is my 2nd most wanted game this year.
Until Capcom remade RE2, RE3: Nemesis on PS1 was my favourite RE game.
I do think it's easily one of the most underrated RE games. I'm looking forward to fending off REmake Nemesis, especially since I heard his appearances throughout the game will now be somewhat randomized.
Umbrella chronicles is still my favourite it was really cool going back and playing the classics with updated graphics.
I would say I thought Darkside Chronicles was better mainly because 2, Code Veronica and 4 (kind of represented in the game by Leon and Krauser) are my favorite games. But the super shaky camera in Darkside really bothered me...

Only someone involved in the mansion incident could understand huh? Please Capcom, can we finally get some acknowledgement of Jill and where she's at?
I very much did, but that only fills in the gap between the older titles and RE5. It doesn't explain what Jill has been up to since 5. I mean she had testing done on her afterwards but it should have been finished well before the present day.
Edit: It occurs to me you thought I was referring to just acknowledgement of Jill. I suppose she was acknowledged 5 years ago. I still want to find out what she's been up to since her last canon appearance, and I'm sick of seeing Chris carry on without her, especially since I'm more of a Jill fan than a Chris fan.
@Tross I can understand that. I'd like to see more of the cast as well and I'm all for more Jill.
I believe @Lord_Sloth is actually referring to Revelations 2 where Jill is a major and playable character, although I too would like to see more of her (and personally Ada) but with the direction 7 is going we will probably have all the older characters in background roles whilst the newer and more inexperienced character will be at the forefront
That was indeed Claire, who we had to wait a good 14 years to see again, all because Capcom made up some BS excuse that her story arc was over while they had no problem making up a new arc for Leon. Maybe Capcom just has something against its female cast. At least we finally got a good game starring Claire, but here's hoping Jill isn't the new Claire. I can buy the older cast being placed in the background if the male cast are too...and we get a proper completion of their arc.
@Tross and @Lord_Sloth Oh shit you guys are both right it WAS Claire, I guess you guys have a point about Jill not being in enough material since I mixed up her and Claire lol.
On a more serious note Tross I'm not sure what resentment you have to Capcom for not using classic female characters in 7 (I hope your not an SJW) keep in mind Leon is just as big as Chris in the RE series yet he was not once mentioned in 7 nor was Jake or Barry and so on. I think Capcom wants to focus on civilian protagonists and whilst we may see more of the older characters in future titles they will only be in cameos and I think we will see less and less of Chris and others as the series goes on
What I still don't understand is his look...with the upcoming cgi film and mvc game...why not implement his new look to show that this is the new look for Chris going forward...maybe it's just me but it's annoying and weird especially when the new movie is canon
I think it might just be different character designs and art directiin between the projects. The art style from RE7 is pretty different than RE 4,5, 6 and the CGI movie's.
Yeah...no doubt it has a different art direction...just my problem is how capcom did not at least try to implement his new look in the movie since they have said its canon...having his look from re5 in the movie just adds confusion especially if Chris has a huge role in main games and cgi movies going forward
They used photogrammetry for RE7, so it was much easier to use a real person for the game.
I agree with lunatic0001. I can understand the different art style in MvC: Infinite, but not in the new RE CG movie--which Capcom says is canon. So if that CG movie is canon, and RE7 IS canon as well, why have two version of Chris?
Damn that was alot of info to take in but ultimately what I gathered from that was Red vs Blue, I wonder if anyone at Capcom is a fan of Rooster Teeth?
Capcom is holding a major sale on all Resident Evil games on the North American PlayStation Store this week.
'The whole thing feels...fine.'
Wow is that so difficult a thing to say?
People should get over the ' just puzzling in its existence' thing and focus on the game that may (or may not) be good.
He says it's the only Resident Evil coming in 2016. Think he forgot Resident Evil 0 HD and the Origins Collection.
Another of the fast-crawler persuasion.
so its like a sequal to raccon city?
