Nostalgia trip to house of horrors

FOR 30 years Capcom have been terrifying and entertaining us with the Resident Evil series.

A scene from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

From the creaky, fixed camera days of the PSI to the over-the-shoulder action on the GameCube and the first-person horror introduced on the PS4, the series has constantly redefined itself, swaying between survival horror and all out action over hardware generations.

Resident Evil Requiem seeks to tie all this history together, creating something unique but wholly familiar.

This uniqueness comes from a story centring around two protagonists and their contrasting experiences as they deal with the continuing fallout from Umbrella corp’s zombie-making T-virus.
