The Resident Evil Podcast

Way back in 2006, Capcom released Resident Evil Deadly Silence, a port of the original 1996 classic to celebrate 10 years of the franchise. Of course, Deadly Silence would also include the REbirth mode - a new way to play through the Spencer Mansion taking full advantage of the DS's hardware/gimmicks depending on your point of view!

20 years on STARS TyranT, Rombie and Neptune revisit this quirky (and now quite expensive) title to see how it holds up and celebrate all the new additions that make this title so unique.

Yes, this is of course another excuse to discuss the OG game, and why not as we enter the 30th anniversary year, but rest assured all the touchscreen puzzles are assessed and memories of blowing into the rotting corpse of Richard are shared fondly!

In the news we take a look at the new trailer for the Resident Evil film by Zach Cregger, and finish off with an RE DS themed quiz.

Welcome to REP's audio commentary for the third feature length CGI Film - Resident Evil Vendetta. 

Hopes were high going into the original release of this film, the prologue seemed scary, Chris and Leon team up again and the further return of Rebecca Chambers pumped up the expectations of another bioweapon flick. Sadly this film did not impress at the time and with this commentary, many were returning for the first time.

Join STARS TyranT, Neptune and a slightly poorly Rombie as we watch along this John Wick, Saw and of course Looney Tune inspired entry into the Biohazard franchise. Full details on how to listen along in the intro!

Another Resident Evil gets the remake treatment with its reveal at Summer Games Fest 2026. Rumours had been rife a week before the show and indeed kicking the presentation off was this 4 minute trailer highlighting Claire's investigation in Paris and subsequent capture.

With a slightly new name, Resident Evil Veronica will be a reimagining of this beloved (but poor selling) classic title - and one that is very close to the hearts of a a few us on REP - not all!

As such, this announcement has divided the team with some happy to see an early 3D title get that glorious RE Engine overhaul, with others perhaps less than enthusiastic shall we say?!!

We pour over the trailer and discuss potential story changes and lore implications as a result. Please enjoy!

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. 

 

Welcome to a deep-dive on one of the key lore elements of the entire franchise. The t-virus is what started it all, creating the various zombies and monsters we have all fallen in love with for almost 30 years now. In this episode, we extrapolate the virus from top to bottom, going back to its origins with the Progenitor Virus, then looking at the entire history of Umbrella's t-virus project, discussing all its variants, its properties, and what the goal was behind it all. Also discussed is the Tyrant Project and some of the known t-virus variants that were developed after Umbrella's demise. In the news we look at various Requiem updates and GOG's release of OG Resident Evil 2 and 3, including the concerning quotes that Capcom appear so dismissive of these original classics. Finally Nick gets all excited about Resident Evil: Survival Unit, so much so he's booked time off to play it. Please enjoy.

Released in the United States 20 years to the day, the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 marked a major first in the Biohazard series - the first subsequent re-release with a major canonical add-on in the form of the wonderful Separate Ways campaign.

At the time whilst such a notion greatly annoyed GameCube owners, many saw Separate Way as the extra that "saved the game" in terms of connection to the overall Resident Evil lore.

20 years on, REP once again make their way back to Spain to replay this short and sweet Ada adventure beginning to end. We recount our tales with tips and tricks from various platforms - that is if Neptune does not have any issues playing with a WaveBird controller.

News includes the surprising revelation that Switch 2 is getting a Requiem release - as well more updates from Survival Unit - much to STARS TyranT's dismay!
