RESIDENT EVIL 4

Edge UK

Christmas 2022

Can Capcom’s revival find the sweet spot between nostalgia and novelty?

Developer/publisher - Capcom

Format - PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series

Origin - Japan

Release - March 24

Resident Evil Village, the eighth mainline entry in Capcom’s survival horror series, was named as much for its capacity to smuggle a pun – specifically the roman numerals ‘VIII’ – as for anything to do with its setting. For most players, the village with the keenest association with the series is the poverty-wrecked farming estate at which Leon S Kennedy arrives in the opening moments of 2005’s Resident Evil 4. Partly that’s because this was the game that changed everything. It invented and popularised the over-the-shoulder precision-aiming mechanic subsequently used in everything from Gears Of War to Batman: Arkham Asylum, while shifting the series’ tone, if only for a moment, from clichéd horror jump scares to mob control. It’s no surprise, then, that Capcom has dutifully brought the game to just about every new console released in the two decades since its debut, keeping it fresh in all of our memories.

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
