How Resident Evil Defined Survival Horror

It's October! A month for pumpkin spice and horror. Let's take a look back at Resident Evil, the series that originally scared the pants off of us.

Resident Evil 4 was my introduction to the series and its what I reference when I discuss the horror genre. I recently began playing through the Resident Evil remaster and even though the dialogue is humorous at times, the title creates an undeniable atmosphere of dread, isolation, and terror. The save system alone is fear-inducing. I've never felt so limited. I can't wait to play through all of the titles in the series as Capcom makes the titles available on current generation hardware.

Totally agree! I am going to write another piece that continues the history of the series, and it will cover remake and 4....which are probably two of the best games in the series.

The earlier games were truly the definition of survival horror. They strayed from the origins for a while, but the demo for 7 seems promising.

RyanMc20162906d ago

Resi has always had a way of being the best of its kind, and I hope that happens with 7 too.

It seems like they're about to define the survival horror for VR too, and set a base for everyone else to do VR horror right.

RyanMc20162905d ago

I don't doubt that they will. For many years that is what they did, and 7 looks very promising.

for me Resident Evil will never be the same:
-zombies does not looks like zombies anymore they looks just like angry mob of people.
- it's no more a Survival horror game
-too much action shooting
-no more safe rooms with relaxing music
-"no more ink ribbon" and this one is really important to make you feel that you can die any time and lose progress.
-over shoulder camera
-puzzles where are the crazy puzzles.
-no more items & keys like in RE1,2 and 3
-the game is holding your hands now pointing where to go next,it should be just like RE1,2 and 3"figure it out yourself "
- Wesker can shoot Lasers from his Eyes WTF -_-

I remember when someone on n4g claimed, without a hint of irony, that the original Resident Evil was (and I quote) "a parody of survival horror." Because apparently, you can become the benchmark for a genre while also parodying it.

Oh man, those comments make it all worthwhile... XD

Hopefully Vampyr 2 is one of those games. I wish they would make a Remember Me 2, but I know that's a pipe dream

People really gotta start paying attention to these guys Vampyr and Banishers is so good.

This is what Nintendo fears. It will hit their Pokémon go community AND consoles. Change the ball system and move on.

To be honest. I think these two companies are working together. Their companies represent the same nation, so global money coming in is good for everyone.
