The Resident Evil Podcast

Our 30th anniversary celebrations continues with a mini-cast featuring the all time classic - Resident Evil 2.

Now heralded as one of the best survival horror games ever made, upon release not everyone on REP was quite on board with the series at this point and indeed for some, would come much later. 

We now recollect our memories of first entering into the RPD, the intertwining narrative and admiring the sheer balls of Capcom to make something so grand, so new that took everything from the first game and improving upon it without relying on the same characters - in other words making a complete sequel. 

Neptune's Killer Question also returns to round out this mini-cast special.

As Resident Evil turns 30 years old, REP presents a brand new series of mini podcasts celebrating the first 4 titles in the franchise in a new bitesize format. 

Join the team as we RECollect that first tantalizing title and in doing so how we all got into the series in the first place. We look at the enduring legacy that the mansion incident laid for survival horror and why we all hold this game in such high regards.

We hope everyone enjoys this mini REP - even Neptune's Biohazard Quiz has a condensed format! 

Episode 1 is out now!
Enjoy!

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!
