The Resident Evil Podcast

With Resident Evil Requiem now well and truly embedded in the fandom, we open up the floor to the REP Community with their comments and feedback on this explosive title.  As always, expect a mix of praise and criticism and analysis from the fans as Neptune, STARS TyranT and Rombie all react to points missed in previous podcasts or general commentary oh their time with Requiem.  We send our big thanks to everyone that called in as we sunset our coverage...until the DLC!

It's that time folks where the REP team convene to discuss all things lore as a result of Resident Evil Requiem. A candid discussion sees us break down the key story points, including Grace's origins and the secret cloning program, Spencer's motivations for adopting a child, what his objective really was, and the whole deal with Ark and Elpis. We also debate the differences between retcons and recontextualisations in the face of the reworked city's destruction and why Raccoon City has seemingly gone from a small, innocuous mid-western town to a sprawling metropolis 30 miles wide. What is Raccoon City Syndrome? How deep are The Connections really embedded in the series storyline? And just who were the contractors for Ark and what were they told? All this and more, dwells within. Enjoy.

Resident Evil Requiem is here! The first new original story in the franchise in 5 years sees Capcom take its boldest steps yet. A new protagonist and daughter to an Outbreak legend teaming up with series stalwart, Leon S. Kennedy. A mysterious virus affecting Raccoon City survivors and the return of zombies. Throw in a new style zapping system, optional gameplay perspectives and the apparent harmony of the classic survival horror of RE7 and the survival action of RE4 - how could this possibly gel?Join the REP Team as we attempt to answer these questions, reviewing Requiem in all its (very) gory details! How did we find the synergy between the gameplay loops? Is the story materially changed forever, how is Raccoon City still standing. All this and more - hopefully everyone will find our review insightful and thorough with no calls for a second opinion. Enjoy!

With just over a month away from release, the REP Team take one final look at Resident Evil Requiem following the recent RE Showcase and gameplay reveal. Expect a thorough examination of what was shown with two inventory systems, the gore, possible zapping systems and whether Capcom can nail the tonal shift between Leon and Grace's gameplay. Needless to say theories are thrown out like confetti - will we get one right? STARS TyranT is confident... We also take a look at Resident Evil Survival Unit with a mini review - is this the return to form for biohazard mobile gaming, or should have it just stayed in a supply crate?

Following our popular podcast last year of the original trilogy and its impact on the survival horror genre, we return to examine the most influential RE title on the wider gaming industry - Resident Evil 4. 20 years since its original release, the mechanics of the gaming loop have impacted so many titles, that we felt it prudent to take a closer look at the horror games that came after with recommendations and a healthy discussion of other games too. Join Rombie, Neptune, Stars TyranT and a delighted George Trevor as we chat all things Silent Hill, Cold Fear, Dead Space and many more as we bring down our curtain on 20 years of Biohazard4. We are also joined by special guest Brandon Salisbury to celebrate the release of his George Romero documentary whilst teasing up and coming projects with RE alumni.
