The Resident Evil series, the survival horror series developed by Capcom, has been receiving some new titles since the year began, even though none of them are main entries of the franchise. Back in January, the Japanese publisher has released the Resident Evil HD Remaster, the HD remaster of the GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil, and a few months later Resident Evil Revelations 2.
Not too long ago Capcom confirmed that yet another Resident Evil game is going to be released in the future. The game is one that not many have played before, since it was released as a GameCube exclusive: Resident Evil Zero. Just like for the Resident Evil HD Remaster, Resident Evil Zero HD will come with enhanced graphics and a couple new features. The announcement of Resident Evil Zero HD, while very welcome by fans of the series, wasn't exactly surprising.
Resident Evil Zero has been released back in November 2002 exclusively on Nintendo GameCube. The game's story follows police officer Rebecca Chambers as she investigates a series of murders together with convict Billy Coen. Gameplay wise, Resident Evil Zero comes with a unique partner system which allows players to switch between the two main characters to solve puzzle and proceed through the game.
Resident Evil Zero HD is currently in development for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC and it will be released on a yet to be confirmed 2016 release date. The original Resident Evil Zero, known as biohazard 0 in Japan, was a survival horror video game that was developed and published by Capcom in 2002. Previous series installments had the player store items in boxes placed in fixed locations. Resident Evil Zero does away with this and instead allows them to drop items on the floor, freeing space in the inventory momentarily until they are retrieved at a later point. The locations of dropped items are displayed on the game map.
