Without spoiling anything, Resident Evil Village is not only a great sequel but a solid entry in the R.E. Then again, with their past I’d be a heavy drinker too. Except for the copious amount of wine in the Winters household. Well, as a developer I would be pretty chuffed. When you have online groups arguing what a baby should have in its cot and what is suitable attire for a baby to sleep in, all because of a game. This opening sequence really brings home the power of the latest generation of consoles. So after eagerly devouring Resident Evil 2 and 3 in all their glory and having fond memories of Ethan Winters shenanigans at the Baker residence, I was pretty keen to get into the Village. Greeted with a quick recap of the outcomes in Resident Evil 7 you are then back in Ethan’s boots and living the happy life, for a moment anyway. Since then I have enjoyed a plethora of Resident Evil titles on Xbox, including re-releases of the early titles I missed.
More because it was a technical masterpiece for the Wii over me wanting a Resident Evil game. Resident Evil 4 – Wii Edition was my defining moment.
#BIOMUTANT REVIEW EMBARGO PC#
Back in the day I dabbled with Resident Evil on a mates PlayStation and again on PC but it never really grabbed me.
is much more recent than yours Dylan, and doesn’t involve any petty crimes, that I know of. How did you find your opening hours with the game, Barrie?īarrie: My first few hours have reinforced my passion and enjoyment for the Resident Evil universe. A safe sequel, for sure, but also one that filled me with relief to play a big-budget, single-player game with no always-online bullshit, no co-op, no daily challenges (well, not for single player anyway), no reason to come up for air into the real world at all. It allowed me to get hooked on Res Evil and planted the desire to stick with the franchise right through to present day.Ĭue Resident Evil Village, a very decent continuation of Resident Evil 7 that features more than a little DNA from Resident Evil 4 (AKA probably the best one ever). Every moment that I enjoyed the game after I ‘returned’ it was a boon, a gift of serendipity that I embraced gratefully. But I’ve also never forgotten Resident Evil, and a large part of it comes down that experience. All these years later, I wouldn’t even know where to find that disc, and to be honest there’s a measure of guilt that I’ve carried from doing what I did. I figured if it did, I could feign innocence and just return the disc. I decided to keep one of the discs, returned the hire copy and waited to see if anything would come back on me. Suffice to say that, being 16, my sense of right and wrong in this situation leaned on the selfish side. However, she left it up to me to decide what I wanted to do. I discussed it with my Mum, who was not keen on the idea of me committing $100 worth of theft. How would they trace it back to me? Being 16, this seemed perfectly logical. After all, my name was only tied to the one copy. Then a degenerate thought – perhaps I could just return one of the copies and see what happens. Cue my surprise to find that it was in fact a second copy of the game! The store had mistakenly given me two copies.
Later that night, after filling my dacks from the dogs jumping through the Spencer Mansion’s hallway windows, I decided to give my heart a rest and popped the other disc in to see what it was. I figured it was a dual-disc game, shrugged, and popped it in. When I got home and opened the hire copy, there were two discs in there, identical. A local store (who will remain unnamed because of what I am about to confess) had started to hire out PS games and, being a new title, I excitedly rang them up, reserved a copy, and begged my Mum to drive me into town so that I could hire it. I pretty much played the Demo disc that came with it for about 400 hours in total. It had taken all my guile, begging and trade-ins-at-Cash-Converters to build up the money for a PlayStation console, and thereafter I was left in a state of not being able to afford actual games for the thing. When Resident Evil came out on the PlayStation. Dylan: Let me tell you a story about Resident Evil that I haven’t publicly shared before. Before we get into Resident Evil Village, let’s turn back the clock a little.
