Resident Evil 5 isn’t any of these things, but it does contentedly stand on the shoulders of its predecessor, injecting better graphics (and that’s an understatement) and a shovel-load of extra gore. Resident Evil 4 wasn’t just a massive overhaul of the franchise, it was a major shot in the arm for the survival horror genre, and flat out one of the best games of recent years. It’s the overhaul and reboot that Capcom managed with Res 4 that’s one of the primary reasons why game five in the series (okay, it’s clearly not game five, once you factor in Code Veronica, Survivor etc, but you get the idea) is one of the most eagerly awaited titles of the year.Īnd it’s got a lot to live up to. And I suspect I wasn’t alone in missing one or two out along the way, until Resident Evil 4 came along and gave the whole series – and genre – a substantial shot in the arm. I can’t confess to have played every Resident Evil game in the world, but I’ve certainly played my way through my fair share of them.
