![]() ![]() You end up avoiding using it entirely after a while because it puts you more at a disadvantage than not being in cover at all thanks to its clunky, treacly transition animation. While we’re at it, the overbearing cover system is as useful as suntan lotion in a British Summer. Here it feels like that idea was started and ditched before they finished. A big part of Resident Evil’s legacy is using sound to let you understand a threat is beat, yet still not give away exactly where. ![]() If there was some help from the audio then it wouldn’t be such an issue, but there’s no cues as to what you cannot see. It takes up far too much of the screen and is a massive hindrance to your ability to spot threats.

The fear is that all the recent goodwill garnered from that Resident Evil 7 announcement could be knocked into a cocked hat if Umbrella Corps dares repeat that notorious day in gaming history.

You have your remasters (Resi 0,4,5 and 6), an enticing teaser demo for the next installment that evokes fond memories of what sparked the series into life, and you have a spinoff that uses the name and locations pluckled from the Resident Evil universe in the shape of the squad-based shooter, Umbrella Corps.Ĭapcom’s latest offering brings to mind one of Resident Evil’s lowest points outside RE: Apocalypse’s depiction of the cold and menacing killing machine from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as a blubbering, touchy-feely crybaby who sees the error of his ways.
