Don’t worry, you still get to bump into it, but not until later. Enter the next room, turn the corner and… nothing. This time, when you approach that window, there’s nothing there. Then, when you entered the next room, you turned a corner and it dropped down from the ceiling in front of you. In the original Resi 2, you saw it scuttling past a window. Take the infamous scene where you encounter the Licker for the first time. You’re going to have to rediscover everything here: this is very much a ‘reimagining’ rather than a remaster, taking the basic properties of the original and building an entirely new game around it. The police station’s layout has been tinkered with too, to make sure even the biggest super-fans of the original can’t just put their brains on autopilot and breeze through the game. This is no time for jokes, you heartless prick Pretty much every major set-piece and puzzle has been completely changed: some have been scrapped altogether and replaced with completely new ones. Once you get there, it’s clear the differences have only just begun. You’re at the station before you know it. There’s no taking a shortcut through a crashed bus, no visit to the gun shop, nothing like that. Following that, the section in which you make your way to the police station has been shortened significantly.

That’s because there’s a new opening sequence set in a petrol station, which acts as a sort of tutorial. Capcom hasn’t just rebuilt things with an over-the-shoulder camera here: if you were to head to GameFAQs, take a walkthrough for the original game and try to use it you’d… well, you wouldn’t last past the first screen.

Much like that Dawn Of The Dead remake, though, this isn’t a straightforward case of taking the original work and giving it a modern lick of paint. Once again you get to choose to play as one of two protagonists – Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield – and once again each character experiences the events of the game from a different perspective, bumping into different characters along the way. It’s obviously still set in a police station and the general plot is still there. Much of the core concept remains the same, mind you. This means no more pre-rendered backgrounds and static cameras, no more door opening animations, no more dodgy voice acting and no more zombies. The premise is the same – zombies in a police station – but Capcom teaches an old zombie dog new tricks by taking that classic 1998 PlayStation adventure and dragging it shuffling and moaning into the current generation. The new Resident Evil 2 that’s out this Friday does the same thing. Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of Dawn Of The Dead took the same premise as Romero’s 1978 masterpiece – a group of survivors hang out in a shopping mall while a growing sea of zombies gathers outside it – and gave it a modern overhaul, complete with an entire reworking of the plot to the extent that the second half may as well be a completely different film. Over the past week I’ve decided I can now add another example to this comparison: not only are Resi 2 and Dawn Of The Dead my favourites in each series, I’m a big fan of both their remakes too.

George Romero even directed some Japanese TV commercials to promote Resident Evil 2, just in case the connection wasn’t solid enough.

But both also essentially kicked off an entire genre – zombie movies and survival horror – and both went through a bit of a rough patch during their fifth and sixth instalments (Resi 5 & 6, and Diary & Survival Of The Dead).Īs well as this, on a personal level my favourite entry in each series was the second: both Resident Evil 2 and Dawn Of The Dead built on what made their predecessors so effective, by moving their settings from a house in the middle of the countryside to a more urban location. The obvious connection is zombies: that sort of goes without saying.

It’s quite fitting, too, that I can draw parallels between it and one of my favourite movie franchises, George A Romero’s ‘Dead’ series. The Resident Evil series, then, has always been a big favourite of mine. While I’m obviously a massive fan of gaming, I’ve also got a real love for horror movies, especially those from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Xbox One, PS4, Steam (Xbox One version reviewed)
