Resident Evil 1(Biohazard1)

Before the game "Resident Evil" was released, almost no one expected the arrival of a new "era of horror". At that time, it was not even included in the top 50 of FAMITSU's anticipated new releases. Therefore, when "Resident Evil" was released on March 22, 1996, the most powerful dark horse in history was born! The final global sales of 5.74 million copies may have exceeded the wildest imagination of CAPCOM and producer Shinji Mikami. At that time, due to the decline of 2D arcade games, a large number of CAPCOM's classic arcade masterpieces all suffered from cold market response, and the ace series "Street Fighter" also lost its glory. At this time, the gaming industry was undergoing the baptism of the 3D era. While many game manufacturers were thinking hard about how to use the 3D function of the PS console, which was still immature at the time, Shinji Mikami cleverly combined 2D backgrounds with 3D characters. , which not only avoids the problem of rough graphics caused by technical reasons, but also brings players a sense of operation similar to pure 3D games, making players' eyes bright. As a result, this original game, which has never been taken seriously by anyone, is recognized by players for its excellent quality. The birth of "Resident Evil" allowed CAPCOM to once again present itself to the world as a first-class manufacturer. The birth of this game not only brought honor and a lot of practical benefits to CAPCOM, but also announced the arrival of the "era of horror" and the "survival horror" genre. The game became a major branch of adventure games and began to spread widely.
