Nearly two decades ago a title was released that would not only create an entirely new genre of video games, but spawn a juggernaut franchise that would encompass books, movies, comics and other media. 16 years ago “Resident Evil” single-handedly defined what survival horror was all about: claustrophobic hallways, zombie dogs jumping through windows and a scarcity of essential supplies. Since then, the games have gone through several sequels and iterations that will culminate this fall in the release of the highly anticipated “Resident Evil 6.” But how has the “Resident Evil” franchise survived and maintained popularity in the many years between these two releases? It’s time to take a look back at the games that have been frightening fans for years.
Capcom has announced and released the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 on Steam.
Capcom recently released Resident Evil Requiem, and it's been so successful that it's seemingly dragging along every other Resi game with it.
That's certainly true in the UK; the latest physical retail charts have come in, and the top 10 includes five Resident Evil games across all platforms.
Capcom has removed the recently added Enigma DRM from the PC version of its survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 remake.
