Resident Evil: Retribution is intended to be an epic, globe-trotting affair that features a cast of characters from all of the previous films, including some characters who were killed off early on in the franchise.
The September 14, 2012, release has begun filming, and director Paul Anderson spilled some of the beans about the film in the interview below, including the introduction of Leon S. Kennedy and the direct tie-in to the Resident Evil 4 and 5 games.
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Ew. He sounds so smug in this interview. The whole thing is basically: "I stole a bunch of Capcom's ideas because NO ONE else is doing what I'm doing with these movies! I'm THAT awesome!"
Then there's these parts:
"it's obviously a lot of pressure because of that and especially Leon because he has such an extreme look. Firstly, he's a major action hero. But also he has the floppy hair, and you have no idea how hard it is to find someone who looks like that."
Um...Mr Anderson? You don't need to find an actor with floppy hair when all these lovely things like wigs, hair extensions and scissors exist. Nowadays people can style their hair into ANYTHING. You don't need to cast a guy with floppy hair just because he has floppy hair. :/
But congrats on casting a guy with floppy hair who otherwise looks NOTHING like Leon. But oh well, I'm sure he's a great actor. His role in The Hottie and the Nottie was such a masterpiece in filming, after all.
"In Resident Evil 5 there's an awesome sequence, one of my favorites, where you're driving a Hummer across the desert while engaging in a machine gun battle with a bunch of creatures that are chasing you while they're riding motor bikes and shooting machine guns. That's intrinsically Resident Evil"
Since when is driving a hummer across the dessert as you shoot machine-gun-wielding zombies "intrinsically Resident Evil"? That sort of crap only appeared in RE5 and nobody really liked it. Hell, even reviewers complained about that sequence. :/
The guys in RE4 & RE5 aren't the 'Undead', they were infected with the Las Plagas virus. They were still humans.
Sounds like we'll be seeing zombies riding motorcycles in this film, which is just wrong.
