The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 100: Biohazard STARS 4We've made it! 100 episodes proper and what better way to celebrate than with the return of our feature-length Resident Evil themed quiz - Biohazard STARS!
Now in its 4th iteration, Neptune hosts the biggest Biohazard STARS yet - a whopping 14 rounds to test your mind and stamina to the very limits. Alongside Neptune is the full REP Team - team captains TheBatman and Rombie are joined by STARS TyranT, George Trevor and the returning Mr. Spencer. Special guest Ploppy54 also joins in on the fun!

2024-12-272h 30The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 97: Resident Evil & Its InfluencesWelcome to a somewhat experimental episode of the Resident Evil Podcast where the team looks back specifically at the original PSX trilogy and the influences in horror gaming that our beloved title drew from. This means an examination of some older horror titles that shaped the industry before Biohazard including Sweet Home, Alone in the Dark and Clock Tower with an analysis on what aspects worked to bring the scares in a low polygon era.
We then discuss why Resident Evil was so special and despite perhaps not being the first "survival horror" title (albeit the game...
2024-08-122h 45The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 90: Resident Evil 4 (Remake) Separate Ways Review
Perhaps one of the most anticipated DLC's in quite some time, Separate Ways is out now and the REP Team are bringing you their review of Ada's quest in Southern Europe. The original side quest for the base game certainly added some much needed context to the Plaga and specifically Wesker's involvement - can the revised version pull the same trick whilst applying the bells and whistles of the RE Engine? With emotions running high at REP over Remake 4 itself, will Neptune have a more enjoyable time? Will TheBatMan continue to applaud the changes from Capcom? Has Rombie burnt himself...
2023-10-042h 52The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 86.5: Resident Evil 4 (Remake) Part 2: Community FeedbackPart 2 of our coverage of Resident Evil 4 Remake continues with our community feedback special.

2023-04-182h 31The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 84: Happy Birthday Resident Evil ZeroAmazingly, another classic Resident Evil title turns 20 years old in all regions as one of the last pre-rendered games hits this milestone. A game originally developed for the N64 before being scrapped and upgraded for the Nintendo GameCube, for many this was the key title in the release schedule.
Gone were some of the core components of Biohazard, no longer "restricted" by item boxes, two person exploration and some genuinely creepy environments - surely the pinnacle of survival horror? Many felt these improvements harmed the gameplay and the complicated and somewhat contradictory storyline only added to the...

Are you ready to delve into the subconscious mind of the REP collective? Well, buckle up as Neptune, theBatman, George Trevor, Rombie and STARS TyranT all take a trip to find that elusive crystal as we review Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition!
Once again, we head back to the cursed village via a sample of Megamycete and a lot of strange misgivings along the way! The team will be casting their eye over everything Shadows of Rose and whether this piece of DLC adds to or hinders the story of the Winters's.
With everything from gloopy walls, facesuckers, creepy mannequin do...
2022-11-182h 52The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 76: Resident Evil Revelations RetrospectiveIt may be hard to believe, but Resident Evil Revelations has just celebrated its 10th birthday! Originally conceived as a portable experience for the Nintendo 3DS released in January 2012, this curiously often overlooked title has received several enhancements over the years and according to Capcom remains very much part of the main series. But as we discuss, Rev 1 is a strange beast. Despite containing many of the core ingredients that appeal to fans, Chris and Jill together, a return to horror after the action behemoth of RE5, and a larger focus on hub, key-questing gameplay, something about it doesn't...

Since we started our little endeavor, the series has more than doubled in content with numerous new games, remakes, CG productions, manga stories, stage plays and even a musical, each of which have helped elevate the franchise to the colossal powerhouse it is today with over 25 million games sold in the last two years alone. Join us as we go back to the times of Revelations 1 and Operation Raccoon City, then...
2022-02-133h 16The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 74: Resident Evil - Welcome To Raccoon City ReviewFinally after some delay the boys sit down to review the live-action reboot of the Resident Evil movie franchise. Writer/Director Johannes Roberts has gathered a promising cast to take us through a story that loosely combines the events of both Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2. Opinion seems divided as we discuss everything from the characterisation, the strive for authenticity, the 90's aesthetic, the creatures, and the inevitable comparisons to the Paul WS Anderson efforts. Please enjoy.

2022-01-1136 minThe Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 73: Resident Evil GaidenAfter years of requests and pressure from an unnamed member of the team, the Resident Evil Podcast finally brings you its coverage of the first proper handheld biohazard experience, Resident Evil Gaiden.
Released 20 years ago to the day on the Game Boy Colour, this much maligned entry has probably generated as much discussion over the years as any mainline title. Join Neptune, STARS Tyrant, Rombie and George Trevor as they provide their analysis on this 8-bit title, covering development, graphics, sound, story and of course the non-canon status Gaiden currently has.

2021-12-141h 56The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 72: Resident Evil ‘The Reports‘This episode sees the team look back at the 20th year anniversary of the original Wesker's Report, a special limited edition DVD that originally accompanied pre-orders of Resident Evil Code Veronica X on the PS2. Narrated in universe by Albert Wesker, we discuss its lasting impact, canonicity, and the subtle updates it has received over the years as well as touching on both Wesker's Report II and Wesker's Extra Report. From there we dissect Jessica's Report, Ada's Report, and finally the Baker Report as we assess how much they add to our enjoyment of the games and how important...

Kennedy story lines that began all the way back in 2008 with Resident Evil Degeneration. Our panel breaks down the plot and the characters, looking at what ID means for Leon's evolution and his relationship with Claire in particular. We also discuss its relevance in the overall series lore and any sequel possibilities.

Antony has a number of major media projects on his resume, including Hollywood movie Atomic Blonde and video game survival horror classic Dead Space. He is also the scriptwriter for Resident Evil Village and worked very closely with Capcom Japan on the scenario design. In an engaging discussion, Antony goes into detail about how he was hired by Capcom, the writer's room process, and how crafting the storyline was very much a collaborative effort. He also explains just how much...
2021-07-161h 20The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 69.5 - Resident Evil Village Part 3: Community FeedbackIt's that time once again folks where the reins are handed over to your good selves to voice your own opinions and reviews about Resident Evil Village. There really has been so much to discuss about the game but overall it seems as though Capcom have another success on their hands. There are still a lot of divided opinions about certain aspects however, as this broad mix of call-ins will demonstrate. Stick around for the season finale of Neptune's calamitous biohazard quiz.
2021-07-012h 22The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 69 - Resident Evil Village Part 2: The Lore DiscussionWith enough time having now passed since the release of the game, it is time for the REP team to reconvene and discuss and dissect the story in depth. We break down some of the characters and creatures and speculate about the properties of the Megamycete and the Cadou parasite. We also discuss The Connections and opinion is divided on the dramatic twist with Ethan's character. Neptune is somewhat of a lone wolf (or is that Hound Wolf, or even Fox Hound?) and defends his appraisal that this story is the best the series has produced since 5. Rombie and...
2021-06-162h 29The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 68 - Resident Evil Village: The Spoiler-Free ReviewThanks very much to Capcom, this episode got to see the guys get their hands on review copies of Resident Evil Village well in advance of official release and here the team assemble to offer their preliminary thoughts and a technical review of the complete experience. We had strict rules to follow so rest assured you will not find any spoilers within and this review will not tarnish your initial playthough of Village in any way. But we hope we can entice, tease, and present a flavour of what to expect. We discuss the overall feeling and atmosphere of...

Join Neptune, BatMan, Rombie, and STARS_TyranT as they guide you through each and every game/movie/story in the series as we list our top 10(ish) essential RE titles to enhance your village experience.

2021-03-222h 40The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 66 - Resident Evil 4 RetrospectiveOur latest episode sees the whole REP team take a look back on perhaps the most controversial game in the entire series, Shinji Mikami's Resident Evil 4. We all know the legends behind its development, with the various builds including Hookman, 'Stylish', and and what should have been the cradle of the Progenitor Virus. But instead we ended up with a rural setting, no zombies, and an Umbrella that had been destroyed off screen. It is certainly a game that split the community down the middle and our team look back with mixed opinions, some more positive than others, but...
2021-02-173h 17The Resident Evil PodcastREP Presents: A Requiem for Raccoon CityWelcome to a special episode showcasing the chronology of Raccoon City's downfall using the new lore introduced in the remakes of both Resident Evil 2 and 3. What started off as an idea for a small skit to accompany our last episode bloomed into something much bigger thanks to many members of the RE fan community getting involved and helping us out. As a bit of fun, we've taken selected files from both remakes and compiled them together in rough chronological order so people can experience an alternate version of how the events leading up to to the biohazard in Raccoon...
2020-12-182h 18The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 65 - Resident Evil 3 (Remake) Part 3: The Canonical IssueRounding off our trilogy of episodes focusing on Resident Evil 3 Remake, the team assembles to discuss the always controversial issue of canon and where this shiny, pretty new game stands in comparison to its much-loved original. Whereas Remake 2 more of less played it safe when it came to introducing major new elements, Remake 3 certainly wasn't afraid of introducing new lore and pushing the boundaries further than ever before. We discuss the important distinction between canon and continuity and what Capcom are achieving by simultaneously loading the game with Outbreak references yet making changes that retcon the events of those...

Looking at all aspects of the 4v1 experiment including the thorny issue of canon, join Neptune, George Trevor, Rombie, STARS TyranT and special guest, TheOracleDragon. Do we have what it takes to get through the three stages of hell - news, main topic...

2020-05-092h 12The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 60 - Resident Evil 3 (Remake) Part 1Arriving hot on the heels of Remake 2 some 15 months later, Resident Evil 3 Remake is finally here to complete the re-imagined Raccoon City storyline. Our panel sit down to analyse the game from top to bottom, discussing the character interpretations, story changes, gameplay features and everything else inbetween. As the original RE3 is held in such high-esteem by our team, it sometimes proves difficult to embrace just how far the changes went with this one, particularly in the second half of the game. But that being said there are still plenty of positives to take away including a superb modernisation...
2020-04-202h 56The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 59 - Remake 3 Final PreviewWith less than three weeks to go before Remake 3 is released, the REP team sit down to ponder their final thoughts, hopes and fears for the upcoming game. News discussion celebrates our own little personal milestone with the launch of residentevilpodcast.com; a culmination of months of work and hopefully a nice little surprise for everyone. Although recorded before the playable demo was made available, we discuss the new mechanics for Remake 3, including the dodge move and the rumoured 'fast-travel' system. We also talk about how the Raccoon City streets are looking, how the Outbreak games will be taken...
2020-03-181h 44The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 58 - Happy Birthday Resident Evil Code VeronicaOur latest episode has the team enjoy a 20th birthday party for Resident Evil Code Veronica which originally launched exclusively on the Sega Dreamcast way back in 2000. To celebrate this glorious milestone we embark on a retrospective playthrough of the full game. We played various versions but in typical REP fashion none of us actually touched the Dreamcast original! We discuss how the game has aged and debate the best tips and tactics for a successful playthrough. We also debate various plot aspects and touch on the development history. What is the most powerful weapon in the game? Is...
2020-02-033h 06The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 57 - Resident Evil 3 Remake Reveal and Biohazard VRIt's the Podcast Christmas special! Following the highly successful Resident Evil 2 Remake it was surely only a matter of time before the final game in the PSX trilogy received the remake treatment. Revealed courtesy of brand new trailer, the team examine the details and discuss their hopes and expectations for the game and its incorporation with Project: Resistance. We are also joined once again by friend of the show, TheSelfishGene as he gives us an exclusive run-through of both Biohazard Valiant Raid and Biohazard 7: Walkthough the Fear - two virtual reality experiences only running in Japan. Also in this...
2019-12-222h 16The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 56 - Happy Birthday Resident Evil 3Welcome to our tribute to Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, the finale of the original PlayStation trilogy which now celebrates its 20th birthday! The REP team are all huge fans of this game and recording was a lot of fun and brought back many wonderful memories. Each member played a particular version, including the amazing seamless fan HD project, and once again ventured into Raccoon City alongside Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveria and friends. We look at how the game has aged, the differing routes you can take, the item/enemy randomization, and of course all the different live selection choices. In...
2019-11-153h 07The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 55 - Resident Evil Project Resistance RevealThe team sit down to assess release reaction to the Project Resistance announcement. STARS_TyranT and Rombie were also chosen to take part in the closed beta, showcasing one level of the game with playable options for both 'survivor' and 'mastermind'. We look at the format, the Outbreak connection and how it compares to previous spin-offs. Cautious optimism seems to be the general consensus of opinion at this stage, despite Neptune and George Trevor admitting this really isn't their type of Resident Evil game. We discuss the pros and cons so far and whether is has a place in...
2019-10-102h 05The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 54 - Resident Evil Gun Survivor RetrospectiveFollowing on from our popular RE1 and RE2 playthroughs, the team now turn their attention to the original Gun Survivor. Released in 2000, this much maligned and often forgotten about gem is now nothing but a memory for long time fans and the newer generations probably have never played it at all. The game remains unavailable to purchase digitally and physical copies are a rarity these days. The reason for doing a playthrough of this game was twofold. One is quite simply because we all have a fondness for it, but secondly and perhaps most importantly, we realise a significant...
2019-09-042h 11The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 53.5 - Resident Evil AMA and Community SpecialWelcome to another community special episode recorded live in our discord server alongside many of our long-time listeners. This was a unique chance for the community to talk shop over various Resident Evil related conundrums and a chance to ask our panel any burning questions. Join Neptune moderating alongside STARS_TyranT, George Trevor and Rombie as they ponder the burning issues. Is the original Dr. Wesker still alive? Could Resident Evil Gaiden really be canon? And what is everybody's top four all-time favourite B.O.W.s? News talk includes Biohazard Valiant Raid and the upcoming Nintendo Switch ports...
2019-07-251h 51The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 53 - Resident Evil 5 RetrospectiveThe latest episode sees the team look back on the 10th anniversary of Resident Evil 5, still the franchise's most successful and best-selling game to date. We look at how the game has held up over the years, looking at the gameplay mechanics, visuals, and the narrative and how it has influenced the direction of the series ever since. Having done a recent co-op playthrough with Rombie, Neptune is able to look at the game with fresh eyes and has gained a whole new appreciation for the main campaign. Our special community guest Sonny Bauer also reflects on his own...
2019-05-121h 39The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 52 - What a Katastrophe!In this special episode it is our pleasure to have with us the Capcom UK Community Manager for Resident Evil, the lovely Kat! Needing no introduction, she is a long-standing member of the Resident Evil community dating back many years. In a candid interview, Kat tells us her history with the franchise and how she first got immersed when playing Resident Evil 2 as a child. She offers her personal thoughts on how the series has progressed and what makes it still enduring to this day. She also touches on her own journey in securing a dream position with Capcom...
2019-04-0855 minThe Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 51 - Resident Evil 2 (Remake) Part 3: The Canonical IssueAfter what seems like an age our panel finally sit down to discuss the thorny issue of the canonicity of Resident Evil 2 Re imagined. Just where does the game stand in the larger series? Is it completely non-canonical, a so-called luxury product of its time that sits alone and is completely self-contained? Or is it a direct replacement that renders the old RE2 invalid? What if the new can be combined with the old to provide the full and complete story of Resident Evil 2 for the first time? All the above is pondered as our team discuss and dissect...
2019-03-101h 44The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 50.5 - Resident Evil 2 (Remake) Part 2: Community FeedbackIn part two of our three part series on Resident Evil 2 Remake, we hand the reins over to the community in an episode dedicated to fan reception and feedback on the game.

2019-03-041h 23The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 50 - Resident Evil 2 (Remake) Part 1After years of hoping and wishing, Capcom have delivered us Resident Evil 2 Remake and trailing close behind is Part 1 of The Resident Evil Podcast.
Come join Neptune, BatMan, STARS Tyrant and Rombie as they look exclusively at the gameplay, characters, graphics, art design and sound of this brand new entry in the series Discussions regarding the canonicity of this game are to be reserved for the next podcast, with Episode 50 trying to answer the question that has plagued the Biohazard series for 15 years - can you have a proper survival horror game with the "over the shoulder" v...
2019-02-103h 12The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 49 - Remake 2 Final PreviewWith less than two weeks to go before Resident Evil 2 Remake is released, our team sit down to offer their final thoughts and hopes for the game. We discuss the changes and evolution of character and location designs from 1998 to 2019 and of course the thorny issue of canonicity inevitably comes into play. We also ponder how far this remake train can go with Remake 3 all but confirmed and what these re-imaginings will do to the likes of Gun Survivor and Outbreaks 1 and 2. Unfortunately this was recorded just prior to the one-shot demo being formally announced and released so none...
2019-01-121h 23The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 48 - Biohazard STARS 2Back by popular demand, Season 4 of The Resident Evil Podcast signs off with the return of feature-length quiz special Biohazard STARS! This time Neptune returns to the role of quiz master presiding over a fiendish selection of Biohazard questions spanning the complete series. We have three teams ready to do battle with the United Kingdom divided by 'Team Up North' comprised of Batman and Ty, and 'Team Down South' with Mr. Spencer and George Trevor. But waiting to outwit them both is 'Team Down Under' made up of Rombie and returning special guest The Selfish Gene. Battle lines are...
2018-11-231h 52The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 47 - Resident Evil Survivor 2: Code VeronicaAfter nearly 7 years of Resident Evil podcasting it's become apparant that we are fast running out of topics to discuss, certainly when it comes to the games themselves at least. With that in mind, for your listening pleasure we now present an analysis of the forgotten 'classic' that is Gun Survivor 2: Code Veronica. Originally an arcade machine dubbed 'Biohazard: Firezone', the game was eventually ported across to the Playstation 2 with a few extra modes and additional treats for a whopping full price package. It remains a very obscure title and never actually received a release in the United States...
2018-10-231h 35The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 46 - Resident Evil 2 Remake RevealAfter three long years, Remake 2 is finally revealed to the public eye via E3 2018. Our panel reconvenes for a lengthy analysis of the two reveal trailers and the RPD demo that was playable at the conference. Since the initial announcement it has been no secret that our team has been quite vocal and somewhat skeptical about the project. Now that it is out in the open and with just six months to go until release, is it time to reconsider a reimaging of the original material or is it still hallowed ground that should never be touched? Have a...
2018-07-112h 05The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 45 - Happy Birthday Resident Evil 2Welcome to our tribute to Resident Evil 2, the original classic sequel released way back in 1998 that now celebrates its 20th birthday! Following the format from our successful RE1 birthday special, each panel member chose a different scenario and headed off into the R.P.D. to see what horrors lurked within. We go in depth on how the game has aged and how well it holds up in this day and age. The legacy is also debated and we take you on a chronological tour through the game via all four scenarios and discuss numerous talking points along the wa...
2018-05-132h 18The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 44 - Resident Evil 7: Gold EditionAfter a long and anticipated wait, Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition is finally upon us and almost a year after its original release we now have access to the complete package with all the DLC included. This episode has a heavy emphasis on the final two story chapters, Not A Hero and End of Zoe, and we look at the return of Chris Redfield and analyse the resurrection of Umbrella Corporation as a Private Military Company. We discuss how the DLC fits with the rest of the game and look at other story beats such as the White Molded and Th...
2018-01-251h 45The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 43 - Resident Evil: The B.O.W. FilesThis episode is the result of another frequent listener request as our team sit down and examine some of the nefarious creations developed by Umbrella Corporation and others across the series. This particular area is Neptune's forte and he goes into detail on the Hunter and Tyrant programs in particular before looking at fan examples of best and worst B.O.W.s submitted via our facebook page. News discussion is dominated by the impending release of Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition and Rombie breaks down some impressive sales figures for the franchise recently presented by Capcom. Please enjoy.
2017-12-041h 51The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 42 - Resident Evil: A History of Raccoon CityThis episode is a direct result of requests from the community to dedicate a feature length episode to everything Raccoon City. We look at the history of the town using sources from multiple titles as well as the geography and general asthetic that has changed and evolved from game to game. Inevitably talk often diverges onto Resident Evil Remake 2 and we also look at where Raccoon may be located in the real world. Making up the bulk of the discussion is a breakdown of the enitre Raccoon City incident from the initial causes, to the chronology of events, and...
2017-10-052h 33The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 41 - Resident Evil: VendettaWith Resident Evil 7 now behind us our attention turns back to the wider universe with the release of the third canonical CG film. Entitled Resident Evil Vendetta, the film again stars Leon S. Kennedy and picks up sometime after the events of Resident Evil 6. Also along for the ride this time are Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, the latter making her first on-screen appearance since The Stage and Resident Evil Zero before that. As usual we dissect the film scene by scene and assess what worked and what didn't. Rombie is in full film analysis mode here as we...
2017-08-032h 23The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 40 - Resident Evil 7 - The AftermathThis episode is essentially a filler episode to catch up on the news and to evaluate points and community feedback to Resident Evil 7 that we didn't get around to in last month's episode. Now that the dust has settled we look back on the game and assess our original opinions. Specifically we look at some of the negative aspects of the game such as the lack of enemy variety, the disappointing final third and the graphical inconsistencies. But despite all these points, we are all still very happy with the game. Capcom's latest statement about Chris Redfield's appearance also tr...
2017-04-061h 43The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 39 - Resident Evil 7: BiohazardAfter a long, anticipated wait, Resident Evil 7 is now finally unleashed so join us now for a very in-depth analysis as our team guide you through the complete game from start to finish. George Trevor's opinion has vastly changed since he played the demo, veteran fan Rombie is quietly satisfied, and following his disgust at chasing a Mazda MX5 round China in RE6, Neptune is now firmly back in the land of survival horror - bearing in mind he doesn't do VHS tapes, or photographs, or lanterns. We discuss every aspect of the game including the characters, the setting, t...
2017-03-133h 03The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 38: Resident Evil - Corporate EspionageWelcome to our 2016 Christmas special in which a suggestion by Rombie resulted in an episode dedicated to the various shady organisations that populate the Resident Evil universe. We also have a discussion on the recently updated Beginning Hour demo for Resident Evil 7 now available for all consoles and the new 'Tape 3' trailer. For the main chat, Mr. Spencer presents a detailed thesis on Umbrella's clandestine relationship with the U.S. Government dating back to the dark times of the Cold War, and we look at Umbrella's fall from grace and how replacements such as Tricell and WilPharma fared. S...
2016-12-241h 56The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 37 - Happy Birthday Resident Evil 1Welcome to part 2 of our 20th anniversary celebrations. This time around we wanted to pay tribute to the original game that got us all so hooked way back in the very beginning. Many of our team hadn't played the game for a number of years and each member was tasked with trying out a different version. The standard original, director's cut, Deadly Silence and Sega Saturn versions all get a run out with various degrees of success. We talk of our own experiences during our playthroughs and what routes we like to take around the mansion and what areas...
2016-11-041h 59The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 36 - Resident Evil: The StageThis episode looks at the little-known stage play performed during a three week run in Tokyo last winter. The plot is set between the events of Resident Evil 5 and 6 and features the long-awaited return of Rebecca Chambers in her first chronological appearance since Resident Evil Zero. After coming to blows over factory designs and corporate logos last month, our panel sit down to analyse the story and discuss whether Resident Evil can transition successfully to a theatrical stage setting. We look at the characters, the acting, the costumes and the production design, coming away feeling quite positive which makes a...
2016-09-112h 01The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 35 - Resident Evil Umbrella CorpsWell here it is... Medics are on standby and Wesker clones lurk in the darkness as our team tackles the latest addition to the series with Umbrella Corps. S.T.A.R.S_TyranT and Rombie lead the offensive in what they describe as not only one of the worst games in the franchise, but also one of the worst multiplayer shooters of all time. TheBatman once again bites on the little canon fishing hook Capcom love to cast out on their unsuspecting fanbase and valiantly tries to defend the game and The Experiment campaign to no avail. We discuss...
2016-08-081h 43The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 34 - Resident Evil 7: Beginning HourAnd so after four long years the next numbered entry for the series has finally been revealed, showcasing a return to full-on horror and a somewhat controversial first person perspective. Here the team dissect the release trailer and 'Beginning Hour' demo made available for PS4. The parallels to PT are obvious and Rombie discusses the demo's origins harkening back to the infamous VR 'Kitchen' demo from last year. Plot speculations are discussed with a hope for a more grounded story away from the global effects of bioterrorism and large, unrealistic monsters and concepts. Could this be the remnants of a...
2016-07-111h 59The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 33 - Resident Evil 20th Anniversary SpecialHere the team reassemble to celebrate 20 years of Resident Evil, reminiscing about the glory days and looking back on how memorable the franchise has been over the last two decades. In the news we speculate on the intriguing announcements of Biohazard: Vendetta and Biohazard: The Musical; Voice of Gaia before moving on to a birthday celebration of our own as we look back on over four years of Resident Evil podcasting. Our first recording was way back before Revelations was released and before Resident Evil 6 was even announced and yet here we are today, contemplating a remake of our favourite...
2016-05-062h 50The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 32 - Resident Evil Zero HD RemasterAfter a short break, the team reassemble for the first episode of 2016 focusing on the stunningly beautiful HD Remaster of Resident Evil Zero. There is quite a bit of news to catch up on starting with the announcement of a third Resident Evil CG movie starring Chris, Leon and Rebecca Chambers as well as the imminent DVD release of Biohazard: The Stage. We also preview Umbrella Corps and almost had to pause recording as STARS_Tyrant suffered some kind of breakdown as he drowned in his own despair trying to discuss the game. The bulk of the podcast is dedicated...
2016-02-232h 16The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 31 - Resident Evil 2 Remake SpeculationSo it's finally happened. A dream announcement for some but a nightmare to others, Resident Evil 2 Remake is officially a go. With Capcom announcing no information on the project is to be released for some time, our panel sits down and thrashes out a heated argument as to the pros and cons of such a project. Is it a chance to recapture the old magic, or are Capcom showing signs of desperation as Resident Evil 7 is delayed once again? Will it be static camera? Will it be over the shoulder? Will it be faithful to the original or will it...
2016-02-231h 57The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 30 - Ada Wong SpecialAnother experimental episode this one with an entire discussion dedicated to the enigmatic Ada Wong, charting her journey across the whole series from her first mention in a file in Remake to her destruction of Carla Radames' laboratory in Resident Evil 6. News discussion includes the official announcement of Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster due for release early next year and the English release of Marhawa Desire Volume 5; finally bringing the curtain down on this seemingly never-ending manga series. We then have a small sub-discussion on Separate Ways; the original PS2-exclusive unlockable campaign for Resident Evil 4. We offer opinion on...
2016-02-231h 42The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 29 - Resident Evil Revelations 2Neptune returns to hosting duties and to offer his thoughts on the full retail version of Resident Evil Revelations 2. Rombie also returns as we discuss and analyse the complete game as a whole package, assessing the characters, the creatures, the core story and what lasting implications it will have on the series. We also discuss whether this game marks a true return to form for the series or whether it is simply just a very small step forward in the right direction. Was Alex Wesker handled well? Is Alyson Court so essential to the character of Claire, and perhaps most...
2016-02-222h 15The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 28 - Biohazard STARSA letter of complaint sent to Resident Evil Podcast Towers forces a change in format as the satirical Batman hosts a one-off feature length quiz edition of the podcast in a panel show we're calling 'Biohazard STARS'. Rival team Captains Neptune and George Trevor align with STARS_TyranT and Mr. Spencer respectively as they go head to head for the biohazard crown. Their Resident Evil knowledge is tested to the limit as they compete in a number of rounds featuring taxing questions ranging from the development process of B.O.W.s to just how many different versions of...
2016-02-221h 07The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 27 - Resident Evil Revelations 2 Episodic BreakdownIn an experimental episode, we cover the release schedule of Resident Evil Revelations 2 in the way Capcom intended by assembling once a week to review and analyse each episode as they came out, providing the unique opportunity to comment and speculate without knowing what is coming up next. Here Neptune hands the hosting reins over to a slightly uncomfortable Batman due to his refusal to purchase digital only media and is staying spoiler free until the disc release is available. Originally recorded in four separate segments over the course of a month, George Trevor is present for the discussion of...
2016-02-222h 54The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 26 - Resident Evil 5: Lost In NightmaresThis episode features an in-depth look at what is possibly the greatest piece of downloadable content ever made as we welcome George Trevor back into the fold and finally submit to his non-stop requests to have an entire episode dedicated to Lost In Nightmares. We kick off with news discussion, commenting on general release reaction and sales of the Remake HD before previewing the final release trailer for Revelations 2 which all but confirmed the return of the Uroboros Virus. Then the main discussion is an in-depth look at the first story DLC package for Resident Evil 5 originally released back in 2010...
2016-02-221h 58The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 25 - Resident Evil Remake HD RemasterSeason 3 kicks off with the team reunited after a year's absence and we welcome long-time community member Rombie of 'Resident Evil Fan: A New Blood' fame as the latest addition to the panel line-up. Here we discuss all the relevant news whilst we've been away including the announcement of Biohazard: Heavenly Island. Rombie also reveals exclusive details from a behind-closed-doors Capcom event showcasing a preview build of Resident Evil Revelations 2 in which he got to sample Claire's campaign, Raid Mode and chat with the producers of the game. The main discussion then focuses on a technical review of the brand...
2016-02-221h 59The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 24 - Resident Evil MiscellaneousIn what was originally going to be the finale for The Resident Evil Podcast, the team sit down for a round table discussion dedicated to topics chosen by community members. These included Wesker's Report 2, the rejected George Romero movie script, U.S. Government involvement in Raccoon City and the chronology of events at the Arklay Mansion following the t-Virus spill on May 11th. The next segment features a lengthy interview with our special guest D.C. Douglas who recounts candidly how he got the part of Wesker and originally had to voice match both Richard Waugh and Peter Jessop...
2016-02-223h 25The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 23 - Resident Evil: DegenerationHere the team take a retrospective look back at the first CG movie that was Resident Evil: Degeneration; the story that really opened the door to the global bioterrorism angle the series still finds itself firmly entwined with today. The film was directed by Makoto Kamiya all the way back in 2008 (or 2011 if you're Neptune), from a script by Shotaro Suga; the man who really held the creative keys to the franchise for some time with further writing credits to come in the form of Darkside Chronicles, Damnation and as a co-writer of Resident Evil 6. Here the podcast crew hold a...
2016-02-222h 08The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 22 - Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2As Remake 2 creeps ever closer, time to take another trip back to Raccoon City with our review of Outbreak File 2. Originally recorded way back in 2013, we look back at the news of the time, including a Shinji Mikami interview where he comments on the change of direction for the franchise related to sales of the original remake. Other news includes the possible reveal of Resident Evil 7 through the resume of a costume designer and we also look back at our recent trip to Bristol and getting caught up in a biohazard infecting the whole town. Then there is an...
2016-02-212h 13The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 20 - Resident Evil ZeroAnother golden oldie now as we slowly but surely work through the back catalogue of old episodes. This one covers the original release of Resident Evil Zero on the Nintendo Game Cube and was originally recorded in August 2013. The news at the time was pretty slow with Capcom seeking feedback on the polarising Resident Evil 6 and the release of Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us' being more in line with what fans expect from a survival horror title.
For the main discussion Batman largely stands alone in his defence of Zero with the majority opinion being that i...
2016-02-212h 09The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 19 - Resident Evil Revelations: HD Unveiled EditionIn this HD remastered (and full price) edition of our original Revelations podcast, the team sit down to re-evaluate the game following its recent transition to current gen consoles, opening it up to a much wider audience. We assess how well the visual up-scale works and if there is enough difference here to warrant a potential second purchase. We also review how well or how badly the game has aged since it's initial release and whether our original opinions have changed since we first played on the 3DS. We also feature a sub-discussion on the recently concluded Biohazard Marhawa Desire...
2016-02-202h 28The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 18 - Resident Evil OutbreakAnother one from the archives now as we go back to one of the old classics. Here the team return to J's Bar in Raccoon City where it all began as we assess the first Outbreak game. All the scenarios are looked at as well as the characters the enemies and of course the online element. Was the game a missed opportunity or underrated and vastly ahead of its time? Originally recorded June 2013.
2016-02-202h 12The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 17 - Resident Evil 3: NemesisThis week the team look back fondly on the title that brought the curtain down on Raccoon City; Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This one remains a firm favourite with most of our team and our retrospective rekindles many fond memories of dashing round uptown and downtown Raccoon, trying to avoid the infamous Nemesis T-Type. It is a bit slow on the news front but we briefly discuss the Left 4 Dead 2 crossover with Resident Evil 6 and Rachel Foley's inclusion for Raid Mode in Revelations HD. Then in the main chat the titular game is dissected from top to bottom as we cover...
2016-02-191h 56The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 16 - Resident Evil: The Umbrella ChroniclesA lot to cover in this episode as we briefly discuss the big community news of Resident Evil 1.5 being finally released to the public at large and what the implications of this may be for the fanbase and future of the series. We also speculate on interesting comments made by series producer Masachika Kawata's about Resident Evil/Biohazard potentially requiring a reboot in the near future. Following that, this week's sub-discussion is on the Japanese exclusive 'Prelude to the Fall' manga comic before the panel move on to focus on Umbrella Chronicles itself; first released for the Nintendo Wii all...
2016-02-182h 16The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 15 - Resident Evil: SurvivorRombie of Residentevilfan.com returns for a second stint in the guest’s chair for this retrospective look-back on one of the more forgotten and often mocked entries in the series; Resident Evil: Survivor. Apologies in advance for some rather eccentric Ark Thompson and Vincent’s mother impressions! But despite Survivor being an easy target with its cheap production values and cringe-worthy voice acting, our team peels back the surface and puts forward a compelling argument in support of this title. Rombie provides some fascinating insight into its development history and the gun support, Neptune and S.T.A.R.S...
2016-02-181h 50The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 14: Resident Evil 2012 RetrospectiveAfter being MIA since Episode 8, the manhunt for Mr. Spencer finally ends as Neptune locates him in a rundown bar in Southampton with a hole in his memory and overwhelming feelings of guilt. After insulting the barmaid and almost starting a bar fight, Neptune persuades Mr Spencer to return to the Resident Evil Podcast fold. It’s where he belongs…
The main focus of this episode is a retrospective review of 2012 due to the unprecedented amount of media that was released for the series.Despite being of varying quality, we look back at Resident Evil: Revelations,Operation Racc...
2016-02-171h 47The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 13: Resident Evil 6Originally recorded just weeks after the game's initial release in October 2012, this episode features a fully comprehensive breakdown of the entire game from story, to characters, to game play and those god-awful vehicle sections. No stone is left unturned as Resident Evil 6, the good and the bad, is taken to task by the REP team. Neptune cannot work out how we've evolved from searching for gold crests round a spooky old mansion to chasing evil clones round China in a Mazda MX5, whilst S.T.A.R.S_Tyrant builds up Derek Simmons as a potential Albert Wesker successor...
2016-02-163h 12The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 12 - Resident Evil: DamnationReleased just prior to Resident Evil 6 back in September 2012, this CG canon sequel to 2008's Degeneration sees the return of Leon S. Kennedy; this time dispatched to a small country known as the Eastern Slav Republic to combat the latest bioterrorism threat. We join him on that journey and discuss what the film adds to the overall mythology. There are many interesting things to debate such as the inclusion of Las Plagas and the welcome return of both the Licker and the Tyrant. We also get the first chronological appearance of Ada Wong since the events of Resident Evil 4. Also...
2016-02-161h 53The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 11 - Resident Evil 5Resident Evil 5 came with huge expectations but was seen as a great disappointment by many, but here STARS_Tyrant and TheBatman lead the RE5 defence force, praising the gameplay and the story. George Trevor talks up Lost in Nightmares but finds little else to enjoy and Neptune has never been happy about the linear aspects of the game and how Chris and Sheva quickly move through each area with no opportunities to backtrack and explore. Every aspect of the game is covered as well as a small section covering the unused beta concepts of the game. In the news we als...
2016-02-152h 13The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 10 - Resident Evil: Code Veronica XOriginally recorded just prior to the release of Resident Evil 6, our panel sits down to discuss Resident Evil Code: Veronica - perhaps one side of the same coin alongside Resident Evil Zero in terms of love and hate. Neptune and George Trevor are big fans of the game but TheBatman not so much. We discuss the switch to full 3D as well as the plot, characters, setting, enemies and all other elements making up the game. Was bringing back Wesker the right move? Were the Ashford's any good, and was D.I.J a top-secret experiment in league with Derek...
2016-02-152h 08The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 9 - Resident Evil RemakeAnother classic episode from the archives as we take a look at the critically acclaimed Resident Evil Remake on the Nintendo Game Cube. Each panel member recalls their origins with the game and the impact it had on them personally. We also discuss the improvements such as the photo-realistic graphics, the added story sections and of course the Crimson Heads. Stepping into the guest's chair this week is Rombie from residentevilfan - A New Blood. Rob goes into his own history with the franchise and reminds us all of how he was one of the original and most successful...
2016-02-131h 56The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 8 - Resident Evil: The Darkside ChroniclesIn this episode we look back at this direct sequel to Umbrella Chronicles which released back in November 2009. Joining us for this one is one of our very own staff members in Sindra who has much to say about Claire Redfield and the impact of strong, independent female characters in modern gaming. Unfortunately it just had to be this episode with our first female guest that Mr. Spencer had one too many glasses of wine... But amidst the awkward flirting we have an in-depth discussion on Darkside Chronicles with a particular focus on Operation: Javier. We assess Javier Hidalgo, hi...
2016-02-101h 50The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 7: Resident Evil 6 PreviewWith Resident Evil 7 almost upon us, it's time for another episode from the archives now as we travel back all the way back to summer 2012 when Capcom released the first playable demo of Resident Evil 6 to users who purchased Dragon's Dogma. This demo featured short segments from each campaign along with some horrendous screen-tearing. It's interesting now after all this time to look back on our hopes and impressions several months before the final polarising product was unleashed upon the world. Also released during this time was the reveal trailer for Resident Evil: Damnation featuring Ada Wong and a...
2016-02-091h 09The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 6 - Resident Evil 2Slowly but surely we're working our way back to the very beginning and now comes another episode that's almost 5 years old can you believe... This time we look at the absolute masterpiece that is Resident Evil 2, almost a perfect sequel in many ways and one of the biggest games of 1998. In the news discussion we are still getting bogged down in the aftermath of Operation Raccoon City and there is a brief chat on Resident Evil 1.5 before moving onto the main event. Each of us has fond memories of Resident Evil 2 and we talk about the storyline, the atmosphere, t...
2016-02-091h 39The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 5 - Resident Evil 4Delving back into the archives once again we have for your listening pleasure our review of the very diversive Resident Evil 4; the game some say saved the franchise and others believe destroyed it. Originally recorded in April 2012 the news is dominated by more post-release reaction to Operation Raccoon City with the introduction of the timed exclusive Nemesis mode DLC for the XBox, prompting Neptune to enquire if we can get his tentacle out... Fittingly our community guest is Smiley; a man who very wisely invested his entire inheritance in bulk buying Operation Raccoon City in the hopes it would b...
2016-02-081h 54The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 4 - Resident Evil: Dead AimTime to go back to the archives again as we revisit a criminally overlooked classic with Resident Evil: Dead Aim/Gun Survivor 4: Heroes Never Die. This particular title is a favourite amongst the REP team and we break the game down and see how it has stood up to the test of time. Originally recorded in April 2012 this episode also features a comprehensive breakdown of the Resident Evil 6 Captivate trailer and several Alex Wesker theories years before Revelations 2 was born. We also discuss how Japanese translations have revealed a completely different outlook on the history of the t-Virus, providing...
2016-02-071h 58The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 3 - Resident Evil Operation Raccoon CityTime for another early episode plucked from the dusty shelves of the archives cupboard. This time we go back to 2012, shortly after the release of the highly controversial Operation Raccoon City. Following hot on the heels of Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS, this initial review was done before the release of the arguably much better Spec Ops DLC campaign and in the midst of what was a troubling time for the series. This game saw release around the time veteran series producer Masachika Kawata stated Resident Evil was too big for the survival horror market and that the...
2016-02-071h 39The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 2 - Resident Evil Revelations 3DSAnd so we creep ever closer back to the very beginning of this journey as we now revisit early 2012 when Resident Evil Revelations had just debuted on the Nintendo 3DS. This represented the first major title since Darkside Chronicles and was the second successive storyline prequel since the release of Resident Evil 5. Reception to Revelations was quite positive at the time, although fans were taken aback by its overly complicated storyline, something that was not helped by some of the worst file mistranslations in the series history. Here we break down the characters, the enemies and the environments as...
2016-02-071h 22The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode 1 - Resident Evil 1996And so we near journey's end through the archives as we head back all the way to February 2012 when we recorded the first episode proper of the then Project Umbrella Podcast. After a successful pilot episode we felt it fitting at the time to dedicate episode one to the original game that started it all; the original Resident Evil on the PlayStation. Join the panel for a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we recount our personal experiences with the game. In the news we briefly discuss release reaction to Revelations on the 3DS and the build up to...
2016-02-071h 34The Resident Evil PodcastEpisode Zero - The Pilot Episode Well then folks here it be; the original test episode for the podcast to see if it would work as a valid idea. Originally recorded 8 years ago by members of Project Umbrella, we set out to carry the torch from where the RPD Dispatch left off. At the time we'd had the idea of a podcast for several months and had been planning it behind the scenes, however we never envisaged just how difficult it would be to pull off. We knew 2012 was going to be a pivotal year for the franchise in terms of media and so we s...
2016-02-071h 01The Resident Evil PodcastREP Presents: Resident Evil Degeneration Audio CommentaryWelcome back to our series of live audio commentaries for the feature length Resident Evil adaptations. Thankfully we take a break from Paul W.S. Anderson's live action 'take' on the series and instead switch our attention to Resident Evil Degeneration; the first full-length motion capture CG animation feature developed and produced by Capcom themselves. Join Neptune, Rombie, STARS_TyranT and a returning Mr. Spencer as they sit back and analyse the film from start to finish. Please enjoy and continue to stay safe everyone.
2016-02-061h 44The Resident Evil PodcastREP Presents: Resident Evil Audio CommentaryIt may have taken six years but we have finally sunk to a new low and reached topics we promised we would never touch when we first launched this podcast venture. The first live-action Resident Evil feature film written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson is a highly devisive and controversial entry resulting in many colourful and divided opinions across the fanbase. Those who listen to our podcast regularly will be well aware that aside from perhaps our astute and well spoken host, the film doesn't rate very highly on our spectrum. But we invite you now to joi...
2016-02-061h 40The Resident Evil PodcastREP Presents: Resident Evil Apocalypse Audio CommentaryWelcome back traveler to the dark times of the live action Resident Evil films. This time our team brave Paul W.S. Anderson's take on the Raccoon City incident in the form of Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Directed by Alexander Witt and produced and scribed by Anderson, this thrilling adventure sees Alice (Milla Jovovich) fight hordes of flesh eating undead, rabid zombie dogs, and some bloke in a rubber suit cos-playing as the Nemesis. Fan favourite Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) is also here alongside Carlos Oliveria (Oded Fehr). This is a stunningly faithful adaptation featuring the Special Tactics and Rescue...
2016-02-051h 43The Resident Evil PodcastREP Presents: Resident Evil Extinction Audio CommentaryWelcome back to our third audio commentary of the live action films created by Paul W.S. Anderson. This time we examine the desert focused installment after the T-Virus has wrecked havoc across the globe, seeming causing a mass Extinction.
Join the team as we watch with you the ongoing adventures of Alice with her random psychic powers as she battles not only Zombies, but also pet Zombie Dogs, Super Zombies that can use cellphones, tornado Crows and a Tyrant that can roar away floor tiles.
Classic Resident Evil.
