  • 20 Years of Resident Evil Video Series Kicks Off with Hiroyuki Kobayashi Retrospective

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]4505[/ATTACH]
    20 years ago Resident Evil was first released. Capcom is celebrating the anniversary with a series of retrospective videos with the game's development team.

    The first video is with Resident Evil Producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, which can be seen below.
    20 years ago today with the debut of the first Resident Evil game, the doors to the infamous mansion first opened and ushered in fans to a whole new world of survival horror. Dark hallways and ominous corners led to thrills and chills that would leave a lasting imprint on everyone who dared to see what was behind each new door. Who could forget the creepy turn of the first zombie’s head as it looked up from its feast, the startling surprise of a Cerberus zombie dog crashing through the window of an eerie hallway, the almost Jill Sandwich, or the miracles of typewriter tape and potted herbs?

    Since the birth of the series on March 22, 1996, Resident Evil has gone on to become one of the most iconic and successful gaming franchises of all time. With game sales topping 66 million copies worldwide and its expansion into successful Hollywood feature films, merchandise, attractions and events across the globe, the series continues to infect the hearts of survival horror fans everywhere.

    Capcom says that they have a year's worth of celebrations planned, including some "new surprises." If you decide to check out the video below, be sure to enable the captions through the YouTube player.
