Resident Evil (known in Japan as "Biohazard" (バイオハザード, Baiohazādo?)) is a media franchise consisting of a survival horror video games series, comic books, novelizations, three Hollywood motion pictures, and a variety of collectibles, including action figures, strategy guides and publications. A computer animated movie set within the series' universe is due for release in 2008 (named Resident Evil Degeneration). Developed by Capcom and created by Shinji Mikami, the game series has been influenced by George A. Romero's Dead movies. The games have sold 34.5 million copies as of February 29, 2008. As of 2008, the series consists of fifteen games.
Game history
The original Resident Evil made its 1996 debut in the U.S. on the Sony PlayStation. It was both a critical and commercial success, leading to the production of two immediate sequels, Resident Evil 2 in 1998 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis in 1999, both also for the PlayStation and Dreamcast. A port of Resident Evil was released for the Sega Saturn and a port of Resident Evil 2 was released for the Nintendo 64. In addition, ports of all three were released for Windows. The fourth game in the series, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, was developed for the Sega Dreamcast and released in 2000 (followed by ports of 2 and 3). PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube versions were later produced in the form of an updated version entitled Code: Veronica X.
Despite earlier announcements that the next game in the series would be released for the PlayStation 2 (which resulted in the creation of an unrelated game titled Devil May Cry) series' creator and producer Shinji Mikami decided to make the series exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. The next three games in the series: a remake of the original Resident Evil, the prequel Resident Evil Zero (originally planned as a Nintendo 64 game) and Resident Evil 4, were exclusive to the GameCube, although RE4 was later released for PS2 and Wii.
