The hugely popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 61 million units to
date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the critically acclaimed
masterpiece, Resident Evil. Originally released in 1996, Resident Evil was then “remade”
in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals, gameplay elements, environments and story
details while retaining the survival horror atmosphere the series had become synonymous
for. Both fans of the franchise who want a trip down memory lane and those who have yet
to experience the game that coined the term survival horror for the gaming world will
appreciate this definitive re-visit of that iconic 2002 Resident Evil title. The intense
horror fans first experienced with the release of the original Resident Evil is back.
Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role
of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or
Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When
the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an
escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players
will need to be brave as they adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out
the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers will
need to keep their wits about them to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet
them at every stage.
