Resident Evil (English for resident evil ) is a video game series invented by Shinji Mikami and developed and published by the Japanese software company Capcom . In Japan, the series is known under the name Biohazard ( Japanese バ イ オ ハ ザ ー Ba , Baiohazādo ; Eng . Biological threat ). Resident Evil is - although not the founder of the genre - the epitome of survival horror .

By the beginning of 2017, the series had eleven parts of the core series, several offshoots in other genres, a number of derivatives and implementations in other media, including a real-life series , four computer-animated films and various comics and novels. According to Capcom, around 68 million copies of the series had been sold worldwide by March 2016. By February 2019, shortly after the release of the remake of Resident Evil 2 , the entire series is said to have sold more than 90 million copies.

Gameplay

Most parts of the series are played in the third-person perspective : The player sees the controlled character from a fixed perspective without the possibility of camera adjustment. The figures move through pre-rendered environments, while moving objects are realized in real 3D graphics. This technique became known through the forefather of the survival horror genre Alone in the Dark .

Resident Evil: Code Veronica first broke with this style of representation. As with Resident Evil 4 , released in 2005, all events were calculated in real time. For the first time, this technique allowed a more dynamic style of play, with slight reductions in graphics.

The Gun Survivor games ( Resident Evil: Gun Survivor , Gun Survivor 2: Code Veronica and Dead Aim ), on the other hand, are first-person shooters with the option of connecting a light gun to the console. These less successful offshoots have sold 250,000 times in Japan, for example, which shows the relative popularity of the entire series.

Above all, unlockable bonus weapons, costumes and other extras contribute to the replay value.

Also mentioned are Resident Evil: Outbreak and Outbreak File # 2 for the PlayStation 2. The former supported an online game option for the first time for the Japanese and US markets, and the latter also for the European market. (However, the online game servers for German Outbreak File # 2 players were closed on March 31, 2007. On December 31, 2007, the US servers were finally also closed for American fans.)

history

The pioneers of the Resident Evil series were the film and game version of Sweet Home , which came onto the market at the same time in 1989. In fact, the first part of Resident Evil was initially intended as a new edition, then as a sequel to Sweet Home and was finally designed and published as a new, stand-alone game series.

On March 22, 1996, the first part for Sony's PlayStation appeared under the title Biohazard in Japan, just under a week later, on March 30, 1996, the title was then also published in North America , followed by Europe on August 1. Due to legal concerns about an older DOS game and a band with the same name, the title was changed from Biohazard to Resident Evil . In the course of 1997, implementations for Sega Saturn and Windows followed ; in September the part was reissued as “Director's Cut” for the PlayStation.

In January 1998, the second part was published in Japan and North America, Europe followed in March. Implementations for Windows, Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64 followed in 1999 and 2000.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was released under the title Biohazard 3: Last Escape on September 22, 1999 in Japan. Initially only available for PlayStation, it was finally implemented for Dreamcast and Windows in 2000.

With Code: Veronica was published in 2000, the first track of the core series that does not debuted on the PlayStation, but on Sega's Dreamcast. A year later the title was ported to PlayStation with the addition of "X" .

In 2002, Capcom and Nintendo signed an agreement for three exclusive Resident Evil games for GameCube . In addition, the previous titles should also be implemented for the console. The first product of this collaboration was a remake of the first part, which was released in 2002. The remake came up with better graphics as well as modified puzzles and higher quality cut scenes . In 2003 and 2004, the remaining existing titles were ported to GameCube and published. Unlike the first part, these were only implemented 1: 1 by the PlayStation variants. The first completely new game of the collaboration was Resident Evil Zero , which was released in 2002.

The fourth part , published in 2005, was also intended to be a GameCube exclusive, but was ultimately ported to PlayStation 2 at the end of the year . Shinji Mikami then publicly apologized for this implementation. In 2007 a Wii edition followed, which had controls adapted to the console's capabilities.

After a break of almost five years, Resident Evil 5 followed , which was released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13 in North America and Europe. Resident Evil 5 is the first game in the series ever to be released for a Microsoft console, namely Xbox 360 ; there is also a PlayStation 3 version and a Windows version.

The sixth part of the core series was released on October 2, 2012 again for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and on March 22, 2013 for Windows.

With Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the main series can be experienced for the first time as a horror survival game from the first person perspective. At the E3 2016 game fair, publisher Capcom presented the continuation of the Resident Evil franchise for PS4, Xbox One and PC (both Steam and Windows 10) for the first time. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was released on January 24, 2017.

On January 25, 2019, a released remake of Resident Evil 2 and on April 3, 2020 followed by a remake of Resident Evil 3 along with a multiplayer adaptation, Resident Evil Resistance .

Derivatives

Due to its great success, Capcom developed further games that were closely based on the game principle of Resident Evil and were partly developed by the same programmers. These games were both commercially and critically successful and laid the foundation for their own series.

  • Dino Crisis : The zombies from Resident Evil have been replaced by dinosaurs , the setting in abandoned factories, graphics, controls and the general mood of the game have been transferred. Two sequels and a lightgun offshoot followed. The producer of the first part was also Shinji Mikami .
  • Onimusha : The setting was moved from the present to feudal Japan . Accordingly, the player no longer fights primarily with firearms, but with swords . The zombies have been replaced by undead demons; Controls, graphics and gameplay remained the same. The Onimusha series still consists of four parts and two offshoots.
  • Devil May Cry : The first Devil May Cry was originally developed as the fourth part of the Resident Evil series. In the course of development, however, a too strong deviation from the previous game concept was found, whereupon Devil May Cry became an independent brand and the fourth part of Resident Evil was again oriented more closely to its predecessors. Devil May Cry has had five sequels to date.
  • Dead Rising : In 2006 Capcom released a new zombie-themed game, the game also pays homage to the classic horror film Zombie by George A. Romero . The main focus of Dead Rising is more action. A sequel appeared in 2010; Both titles were never officially published in Germany due to concerns about the protection of minors, and foreign versions have been confiscated .
