resident evil umbrella corps release date

The fear is that all the recent goodwill garnered from that Resident Evil 7 announcement could be knocked into a cocked hat if Umbrella Corps dares repeat that notorious day in gaming history.

That gaming lowpoint for the series is in fact Operation Raccoon City, a festering puddle of rot that played fast and loose with the Resi brand, appearing to be more of a discount store knockoff than a fine non-canon addition to the rich, daft, and often shite, tapestry of Resident Evil. You have your remasters (Resi 0,4,5 and 6), an enticing teaser demo for the next installment that evokes fond memories of what sparked the series into life, and you have a spinoff that uses the name and locations pluckled from the Resident Evil universe in the shape of the squad-based shooter, Umbrella Corps.Ĭapcom’s latest offering brings to mind one of Resident Evil’s lowest points outside RE: Apocalypse’s depiction of the cold and menacing killing machine from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as a blubbering, touchy-feely crybaby who sees the error of his ways. It’s the series’ 20th anniversary and we’ve been seeing a distilled version of the timeline this year with the games that are currently coming from it. There’s quite the wave of nostalgia surrounding Resident Evil at the moment.
