About this deal

Resident Evil was the first game to be dubbed a " survival horror", a term that it coined for the genre. [125] It was ranked as the 91st top game of all time by Next Generation in 1996, stating that it "successfully redefine[d] the genre which started with Infogrames' Alone in the Dark." [114] In 1996, GamesMaster rated the game 14th on their "Top 100 Games of All Time". [126] Game Informer referred to the original Resident Evil as "one of the most important games of all-time" in 2007. [127] In 2012, Time named it one of the 100 greatest video games of all time. [128] That same year, the game ranked as one of G4tv's top video games of all time for how it has "launched one of the most successful series in gaming history and provided one of its most memorable scares." [129]

Positive points are few and far between when examining the classic gameplay on offer in Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. While the plot is at least entertaining, and murdering zombies, even with a horrible controls, is never less than satisfying, the game is an incredibly tiresome slog running from puzzle to puzzle, interspersed with frustrating combat. Even worse, the Rebirth mode is no grand reinvention. Merely the classic mode with a few paltry additions, in general the touch screen only serves to add another level of frustration, with the regular appearance of first person 'knife battles', where you must defend yourself from a horde of enemies that have quite literally appeared from nowhere.

Only a hefty dose of nostalgia can fight off this handheld horror

Almost all development was done on Silicon Graphics hardware using the software program Softimage. [26] The PlayStation was chosen as the lead platform because the development team felt it was the most appropriate for the game in terms of things such as the amount of polygons. [26] The development team had upwards of 80 people towards the end of the game's development. [19] According to Akio Sakai, head of Capcom's consumer software division, Capcom were hesitant to port Resident Evil to the Saturn because the hardware was not as ideally suited to the game as the PlayStation, ensuring the port would take a long time. [38] A Saturn version was finally unveiled at the April 1997 Tokyo Game Show, at which Capcom also showed a demo for the sequel on PlayStation. [39] Deep within the shadows of the Arklay Forest lays a dreadful secret in the deadly silence... Within the mansion beyond the rusted gates are things that will certainly bump in the night, and eat your face off in the process. Your helicopter is down, you're in that mansion, and nobody is coming to save you. The only thing that divides you from the walking dead is the scent of rotting flesh in the air. What will you do as that scent grows closer? Resident Evil Nearly Got its Start on the SNES". Nintendo Life. December 5, 2017. Archived from the original on January 21, 2018 .

The player character eventually learns that a series of illegal experiments were being undertaken by a clandestine research team under the supervision of biomedical company Umbrella Corporation. The creatures roaming the mansion and its surrounding areas are the results of these experiments, which have exposed the mansion's personnel and various animals and insects to a highly contagious and mutagenic biological agent known as the T-virus. The player character may also encounter several members of Bravo Team, including Enrico Marini, who reveals that one of Alpha Team's members is a traitor before being shot and killed by an unseen assailant. a b c d Shinji Mikami, «Resident Evil» et la source du jeu d'horreur Archived November 9, 2017, at archive.today, Le Monde (October 10, 2014)

a b "Top-Selling PlayStation Titles (1996) - Europe". Screen Digest. Screen Digest Limited: 130. 1997. Bio Hazard was renamed for the North American and European markets after Chris Kramer, the director of communications at Capcom, pointed out that it would be impossible to trademark it in the United States. Among others, the 1992 video game Bio-Hazard Battle and the New York alternative metal band Biohazard were already using the name. Capcom ran an internal company contest to find a new name. Resident Evil was chosen since the game takes place in a mansion. [42] Kramer thought the name "was super-cheesy ... but the rest of the marketing crew loved it and were ultimately able to convince Capcom Japan and Mikami-san that the name fit." [42] The cover artwork for the American and European release was created by Bill Sienkiewicz. [43] The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other solve puzzles and escape the mansion together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters, with the tougher monsters being worth more points. There are three playable multiplayer stages and nine playable characters.The graphics aren't jaw-dropping, but they definitely get the point across. And the gory bits are still nice and gross. Carrier, Rhonda (September 10, 1998). The Guinness Book of Records 1999. Guinness World Records Limited. p.170. ISBN 978-0-9652383-9-7. Resident Evil 4 is an absolutely stonking game. In fact, it's so good that I found myself rummaging through old magazines such as Zzap64! just to find words like 'stonking' to describe just how joyful it is. What makes this even more amazing is that Resident Evil 4 is a very subtle refinement of the Resident Evil series. The same slow, awkward movement, relentless waves of single-minded foes, and puzzles, evolved to include a new claustrophobic third-person camera and a glorious aiming system.
