Of course, RE‘s staple boss battles also returned, in even more titanic proportions than ever before. This move from shuffling zombies, which greatly limited the type of threat the player was under, to the faster, more deadly zombie-free enemy lineup, launched the game into the next generation, and allowed the developers to create a title that featured the same atmosphere as previous games, but added the kind of tension only an out and out action game can deliver, as players were often thrust into epic battles against multiple foes. Kennedy’s award-winning outing in Resi 4 is certainly the largest leap forward in evolution the series had ever made, seeing Capcom ditch George Romero-style zombies and fixed cameras for a far more fluid game that featured Las Plagas-infected villagers who moved fast and possessed much more intelligence. But, while Capcom has, for various reasons, decided to take Street Fighter back to its 2D roots with the latest instalment, Resi has continued to grow and evolve over time. Alongside Street Fighter, Resident Evil is one of Capcom’s longest running franchises, which isn’t really surprising given the masses of money the series has generated, leading to its inevitable (if shockingly bad) move to the silver screen.
