Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0is one of the most prominent series in gaming history. It helped define a generation of survival horror games,<\/a> releasing for the Sony PlayStation<\/a> in 1996. During this time, 3D textures were emerging, and\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0was one of the hottest\u00a0IPs around. Playing the original\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0today, one might wonder what happened to its classic\u00a0gameplay?<\/p>\n

Recent Resident Evil<\/em> games maintain a similar inventory management system and horrific zombie themes. The Umbrella Corporation still exists in Resident Evil lore<\/em>,<\/a> but the overarching story and gameplay have changed. Has this horror series changed for the better or worse?<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Spin-Off Games (Way It’s Worse)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although not as well-known as the main series games, spin-off entries can be highly enjoyable. Resident Evil<\/em> spin-offs add to the overarching story of the series.\u00a0Resident Evil \u2013 Code: Veronica<\/em> released for the Sega Dreamcast<\/a> in 2000. It has been ported numerous times, and it’s an excellent example of a spin-off game. The game expands on Claire Redfield’s story<\/a> after Resident Evil 2<\/em> and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.<\/em> Mostly, Resident Evil <\/em>spin-offs appeal to Resident Evil<\/em> fans<\/a> and less to series newcomers.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>More Horror (Way It’s\u00a0Better)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When the Resident Evil<\/em> series first released, it was one of the scariest games on the market.<\/a> The teams at Capcom<\/a> have acknowledged this and continue to release games as horrific or more than the originals. Of course, game creators and filmmakers alike are finding new ways to scare audiences.<\/p>\n

Much about\u00a0Resident Evil Village<\/em> has been kept under wraps. The upcoming Resident Evil Village<\/em> should follow suit by adding more horror than the game before it.<\/a><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Playthrough Lengths (Way It’s Worse)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The playthrough lengths of the Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0games are typical for any game series. At 21.6 hours for completion, according to howlongtobeat.com,<\/a>\u00a0the series peaked in length when Resident Evil 6<\/em><\/a> was released. Since then, Capcom has released several Resident Evil<\/em> remakes to capture the essence of the original games.<\/p>\n

It makes more sense for players to pay full price for a longer game. Hopefully, the series’ creators continue to increase the length of games\u2014and not follow the runaway train headed towards shorter Resident Evil<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Inventory Management (Way It’s\u00a0Better)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Depending on the\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0game you play, inventory management can be a chore. The game that introduced the series,\u00a0Resident Evil,<\/em>\u00a0proves that games in the series slowly age. However, it would be a stretch to say\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0plays just as well as its launch date. The inventory spaces are limited in size, depending on your character. The new\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em> games have superior item management systems and more weapon diversity,<\/a> which add to the overall experience.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Identity Crisis (Way It’s Worse)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Resident Evil<\/em> series is having trouble identifying itself. The games are now spread across various genres like action-adventure, survival, and horror. Resident Evil<\/em> is one of the longest standing game franchises in history. However, it’s becoming more of an action game series<\/a> than a survival horror series like the original. If\u00a0it maintains its roots and doesn’t make any more unexpected changes, the series should be okay.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Main Series Games (Way It’s Better)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The main series is still in recovery since the release of\u00a0Resident Evil 6. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was a step forward in the right direction, even if it didn’t cover all its predecessors’ shortcomings. Like many of the most well-known game franchises, the Resident Evil<\/em> main series contains hit or miss entries. Story-wise, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard<\/em> nailed it.<\/a> Capcom listened to the frustration of players, making it less of an action-oriented game.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Gameplay (Way It’s Worse)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Recent\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0games are a step down from\u00a0Resident Evil 4<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Resident Evil 5.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0The main series arguably hit its peak with\u00a0Resident Evil 4<\/em>‘s survival horror gameplay. Capcom is continually trying to switch up the formula with new gameplay. The series already contains flawless games, so why try to reinvent the wheel? At the same time, Resident Evil Village<\/em> is a blank slate that looks promising.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Series Relies On Remakes (Way It’s Better)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This one is a toss-up, but given that the Resident Evil<\/em> remakes had excellent reception, they have to be viewed positively. Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2,<\/em> and Resident 3<\/em> all had phenomenal launches. However, looking strictly at the main series, Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>needs work.<\/p>\n

Capcom accomplished what a remake should. A video game remake should re-build a game from the ground-up while paying homage to the original. The Resident Evil 4<\/em> remake will be a blockbuster, and we’re waiting to hear any developments.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Too Much Action (Way It’s Worse)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Resident Evil 6<\/em>\u00a0was Capcom trying to reinvent itself. The resulting video game was not quite the blockbuster title we hoped for, but at least Capcom learned from past mistakes. One possible reason why critics negatively received this game was that it strayed too far from the series norms. It adopted more of an action-oriented focus rather than a survival horror one. The series was originally a survival horror game. Hopefully,\u00a0Resident Evil<\/em>\u00a0Village\u00a0<\/em>goes back to the series’s roots.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

There is a lot more to come than this possible\u00a0Resident Evil Village<\/em>\u00a0screenshot. According to\u00a0pcgamesn.com,<\/a>\u00a0“the dev’s shared in its live showcase that the upcoming PC game’s got ‘a lot more freedom’ and room to experiment than its predecessor,\u00a0Resident Evil 7<\/em>.” This could mean that\u00a0Resident Evil Village<\/em>\u00a0will be less linear than its predecessor. From an art direction standpoint, Resident Evil Village<\/em> is shaping up to be a masterpiece in visual design.<\/p>\n
