Films

There are currently three Resident Evil films, written by Paul W. S. Anderson. Paul William Scott Anderson (also known as Paul WS Anderson or Paul Anderson) born 4 March 1965 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England is a Film director Though acclaimed horror film director George A. Romero was hired to write a script for the first film, it was ultimately rejected in favor of one penned by Anderson. George Andrew Romero (born February 4, 1940) is an American director writer editor and actor ^[6] As Romero's script was a close, but not full, adaptation of the game, Capcom believed fans would feel that the movie had been altered too much from the game, and that newcomers would dislike the premise. ^[7] Sony released a revised synopsis that referred to Extinction as "the third and final installment" of the Resident Evil film series. ^[8] The movies were mostly panned by critics,^[9] but reaction from fans were mixed. Some praised the movie for bringing the series to a mainstream audience,^[10] while others criticized the fact that it was a confused adaptation of the Resident Evil games.

Despite the criticism, the films have been financially successful enough to encourage the approval of a trilogy. A trilogy is a set of three works of art usually Literature, Film, or Video games, that are connected and can be seen either as a single work or three Released films are as follows:

• Resident Evil (2002)
• Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
• Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

Capcom has also created two Biohazard films:

• Biohazard 4D Executer (2000)
• Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008)

The earliest Resident Evil novel was a novella titled Biohazard: The Beginning by Hiroyuki Ariga. A novella is a written, Fictional Prose Narrative longer than a Novelette but shorter than a Novel. It was published in 1997 as a portion of the book The True Story of Biohazard, which was given away as a pre-order bonus with the Saturn version of Biohazard. The story serves as a prelude to the events of the original Resident Evil, in which Chris investigates the disappearance of a missing friend.

S.D. Perry has written novelizations of the first five games, as well as two original novels taking place between games. Stephani Danelle Perry (credited as SD Perry in her works is a novelist living in Portland Oregon. The Perry series is: The Umbrella Conspiracy, a novelization of the first game; Caliban Cove, an original novel set after the first game; City of the Dead, a novelization of Resident Evil 2; Underworld, another original novel set after Resident Evil 2; Nemesis; Code: Veronica; and Zero Hour. Resident Evil Caliban Cove is a Video game -based novelization for Resident Evil by S Resident Evil Underworld is a novel written by SD Perry in 1999 The novels often took liberties with the plot of the games by exploring events occurring outside and beyond the games. This often meant that the games would later contradict the novels by taking the story in a different direction. One notable addition from the novels is the character of Trent, who often served as a mysterious behind-the-scenes string-puller who aided the main characters. Perry's novels were translated and released in Japan with new cover arts by Wolfina. ^[11] Interestingly enough, Perry's novels stated that Brian Irons was attempting to run for mayor, which was something mentioned in Biohazard: The Beginning.

There was also a trilogy of original Biohazard novels in Japan. Hokkai no Yōjū (北海の妖獣, Hokkai no Yōjū^? lit. "The Beast of the Northern Seas") was published in 1998 and was written by Kyū Asakura and the staff of Flagship. Two additional novels were published in 2002, To the Liberty by Suien Kimura and Rose Blank by Tadashi Aizawa. While no official English translation of these novels has been published yet, the last two books were translated into German and published in 2006. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Novelizations of the three films, titled Genesis, Apocalypse, and Extinction were written by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Keith Robert Andreassi DeCandido (born April 18, 1969 in New York, United States) is an American Sci-fi and Fantasy writer Extinction, the novel, was released in late July of 2007, several months before the film's release. There was also a Japanese novelization of the first film, unrelated to DeCandido's version, written by Osamu Makino.

Comics

In 1998 Wildstorm began publication of a monthly comic book series based on the first two games titled Resident Evil: The Official Comic Magazine, which lasted five issues. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) WildStorm Productions, or simply WildStorm, (sometimes rendered Wildstorm) is a publishing Imprint and studio of American Comic book A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a comic paper or comic magazine) is a Magazine or Book of narrative Each issue was a compilation of short stories that were both adaptations of events from the games (alluded and depicted), as well as related side-stories. Like the Perry novels, the comics also explored events occurring beyond Resident Evil 2 (the latest game during the series' publication) and thus were contradicted by later games. Wildstorm also published a four-issue mini-series titled Resident Evil: Fire & Ice, which depicted the ordeal of Charlie Team, a third S. T. A. R. S. team appearing only in the comic.

There has also been a few officially licensed (as well as unlicensed) Biohazard manhua series published in Hong Kong. Manhua ( are Chinese Comics originally produced in China. Possibly due to their greater degree of artistic freedom of expression and closer international ties Hong Kong ( officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a territory located on China 's south coast on the Pearl River Delta, and borders One of these comics, an adaptation of Code: Veronica by Lee Chung Hing, was translated into English and published by Wildstorm.

Critical response

Utilizing heavy horror elements, puzzle solving, and action, most of the games in the main Resident Evil series have been released to positive reviews. Horror fiction is broadly Fiction in any medium intended to scare unsettle or horrify the audience Many of the games, notably Resident Evil 4, have been bestowed with multiple Game of the Year honors^[12] and frequently placed on lists of the best games ever made. Game of the Year (abbreviated GotY or GOTY) is a distinction awarded by various Magazines and Websites to a deserving PC or console ^[13] A common criticism of the series is its odd placement of puzzles. When speaking of Code: Veronica, one critic wrote that the game is "still largely a puzzle-driven (as opposed to plot driven) experience. "^[14] Capcom has been commended, however, for making an attempt to phase out and better integrate the puzzles, with IGN writing that the puzzles of Resident Evil 4 are "not so obscure that they can't be figured out, and indeed many of them are downright clever. IGN (abbreviated and formerly known as I magine G ames N etwork is a multimedia news and reviews Website that focuses heavily on Video "^[15]
