Whereas the old games created a cinematic experience by using FMV (full motion video), here we have cutscenes interspersed with actual video and it’s SOP now, but it’s still impressive to see a familiar game redone so well.
The graphics, coloring, and music marry together in a cohesive style that gets you ready to experience an old favorite made for the modern gamer. The opening cutscenes for either Leon S Kennedy or Claire Redfield transpire much as they did in the PSX original, culminating in the pair being separated by fate (and the aforementioned, now-infected trucker who causes a major accident) and having to make their way to the Raccoon City Police Department, where they hope to get some answers about the mysterious outbreak and the anarchy and destruction it has caused.Ĭut to the opening credits, which are stylishly done, and meticulously well designed. Peep that gooey, disgusting burger that truck driver is eating in the intro! Look at the detail in the character’s faces! Look at how glossy (and slightly unnatural) everything wet looks! PS4 is the generation of glossy (and slightly unnatural) visuals. Right from the start, you could see just how much care went into this remake. Using the RE Engine that was used for the acclaimed Resident Evil: Biohazard (RE7 in the mainline series), the game uses the over-the-shoulder perspective used since RE4. When the new wave of REmakes began, RE2 was the first to get a facelift for the (at the time) current-gen consoles. I love how the game immediately throws you into the deep end and continues to throw life or death scenarios your way at a decent clip. Additionally, Resident Evil was an expensive show to produce due to filming on-location in South Africa and the CGI.Īnd while Rotten Tomatoes scores are not everything (especially for Netflix), Resident Evil had a poor critical score at 55% and an even worse audience score at 27%, which certainly didn’t help matters.Out of the three original PSX Resident Evil games, the Resident Evil 2 REmake is my favorite of the bunch and it always has been. 3 before falling out of the Top 10 altogether after just three weeks. It only managed to bring in 73.3 million hours in week two and it landed at No. That didn’t really happen for Resident Evil, or people were dissuaded from watching the show by the negative reviews. Most Netflix series tend to rise in the second week thanks to word of mouth and people discovering the new content. 2 with 72.7 million hours viewed and it didn’t get a significant week two bump. It’s a similar problem that occurred with The Umbrella Academy season 3, but at least The Umbrella Academy managed to climb its way back up the charts after the Stranger Things hype began dying down. For one, the show debuts on July 14, and thus, it sort of floundered under the shadow cast by the massive hit that is Stranger Things. There are multiple factors contributing to Resident Evil‘s cancellation. Anderson films starring Milla Jovovich (the early ones, at least). The closest fans have come to embracing an adaptation is probably the Paul W.S. The many different films-and now series–have yet to satisfy the majority. Diehard Resident Evil fans have been begging for a faithful adaptation of the games for years. This news is not surprising as the series didn’t generate the best viewership numbers and was not well-received by fans of the franchise or critics, although, generally, critics were kinder than the fans. According to a Deadline exclusive, Netflix has chosen not to order additional seasons of the action-horror show based on the popular video game franchise. It’s over for Netflix’s live-action Resident Evil series.
