That’s why we’ve always tried to deliver something fresh and exciting to the audience. Sometimes that draws the ire of the hardcore fans who feel like they’ve deviated too much from traditional survival horror, but I think the same thing over and over again can only lead to the death of your videogame franchise, or indeed your movie franchise. Like the undead, the franchise has evolved. Capcom has never been afraid to allow their franchise to evolve. If you look at videogame franchises that were big when Resident Evil was big, most of them have withered and died. THR: What are your thoughts on where Capcom is going with the Resident Evil 6 game?Īnderson: I think Capcom has always done a smart job of progressing the franchise. Before, the undead used to be slow, they used to have no weaponry, and now they’re coming at you in a much more serious way. They can ride motorbikes, and that ups the ante for our heroes in a big way. They also maintain some motor skills, which means they can start using rather advanced weaponry. The Las Plagas parasite, and the virus that accompanies it, infects the biohazard as before so you have undead, but they maintain some level of intelligence.
Anderson: Resident Evil 4 and 5 introduced the Las Plagas parasite, which was key in the games and also in the movie. The Hollywood Reporter: How did Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 and 5 games influence Resident Evil: Retribution? Anderson tells The Hollywood Reporter how past games have influenced Retribution and how the Resident Evil 6 game could impact the sixth film. He has watched as the two successful franchises have borrowed creatively from each other and managed to excel within their own media. Anderson, who has been involved in all five films and is back in the director’s chair for a second consecutive film, is a gamer through-and-through. Never before in the history of the Resident Evil games or films have the stars aligned so perfectly for fans of these franchises.
