In it, she described her abduction and gradual descent into madness, with the text becoming more erratic with each entry. Encountering her for the first time, especially not knowing about her existence, was frightening.īut finding out the details of Lisa’s thoughts in her journal was even more so. Gradually, she turned into a nearly immortal, barely sapient monster and took residence in an abandoned shack slightly beyond the mansion. Her parents were killed early on and Lisa was subject to countless experiments across several decades. Lisa, along with her family, was abducted and exploited as a guinea pig to test new virus specimens. However, that changed when the story of Lisa, a cut portion from the original game, was included in the remake. In fact, the story has never been the series’ strong suit. The original Resident Evil didn’t deliver an emotional story in any regard. But I’m willing to bet it’s the well-received HD which inspired the remakes of RE2 and RE3. To its credit, Capcom listened to the players and tried to experiment with games like Resident Evil 7 biohazard, released in 2017. An ever-increasing focus on action left many many players questioning whether this would be the new trademark of the series. Games which, albeit sold well, were not received equally as well by the community. Resident Evil HD Remaster, an improved version of the original remake, released shortly after Resident Evil 5 and RE6. It was like eating a freshly baked calzone without knowing the stuffing. Somehow, the developers made a familiar experience feel fresh characters, scenes and environments were already trodden, and yet you never knew what to expect behind the next corner. It was later ported to Nintendo’s highly successful Wii, but my first introduction to the remake, like for many others, was on the Xbox One. For nearly 15 long years, Resident Evil Remake remained a Nintendo exclusive.
