Living Things: How Capcom is doing right by Resident Evil

The Resident Evil franchise turns 20 years old this March, and the series has seen its share of ups and downs over these two decades. I unsuccessfully predicted the appearance of Resident Evil 7 as far back as E3 2014, and by now I’m almost embarrassed that said game has still not been announced. As it turns out, Capcom had different plans for the franchise, and while it’s still safe to assume there will be another “core” entry in the series, there’s much more to Resident Evil than just that these days.

Revelations: Why Resident Evil 6 wasn’t as bad as 5

I recently read an article on VG247 about Resident Evil 7 being expected to make an appearance at the imminent E3 expo (the article in question can be found here.) Something quite trivial caught my eye very early in the text:
