    Episode 107: Happy Birthday Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways

    Released in the United States 20 years to the day, the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 marked a major first in the Biohazard series - the first subsequent re-release with a major canonical add-on in the form of the wonderful Separate Ways campaign. At the time whilst such a notion greatly annoyed GameCube owners, many saw Separate Way as the extra that "saved the game" in terms of connection to the overall Resident Evil lore. 20 years on, REP once again make their way back to Spain to replay this short and sweet Ada adventure beginning to end. We recount our tales with tips and tricks from various platforms - that is if Neptune does not have any issues playing with a WaveBird controller. News includes the surprising revelation that Switch 2 is getting a Requiem release - as well more updates from Survival Unit - much to STARS TyranT's dismay!

    Episode 106: Resident Evil Requiem Demo

    With Capcom building up the hype nicely for Resident Evil 9 at recent gameshows, we thought it would a good idea to discuss the recently released (albeit limited) demo that was made available at Gamescom 2025. To bring some first hand impressions to the table, REP is delighted to have legendary content creator, writer, voice actor and all round biohazard superfan, Suzi the Sphere Hunter join Neptune, Rombie and Astra (Mr. Spencer) in this bonus podcast! Suzi is able to share the time spent exploring this forsaken hospital, the intricacies of the monster (Lisa?), camera angles, ray tracing and tactics that fans can all look forward to when the game drops next year! (Hopefully the demo soon!) A big thanks for Suzi for taking the time to share with us and we hope you enjoy!

    Episode 105: Resident Evil Revelations 2 Retrospective

    In what can be described as one of the last canonical spin offs in the Resident Evil series, Revelations 2 is now a decade old - so what better opportunity to return to this hellish island and see how this early PS4/Xbox One title holds up 10 years later.  A known favourite game of George Trevor and most of the team as a whole with credit often being given for bringing horror back to the series. Can Neptune finally get to grips with the controller lay out and does the once fancy episodic release structure actually hinder it in today's market? We look back on this quirky and often campy/b-movie title to see if we can recommend it to new and old players alike. Meanwhile the news is dominated by some non-canon up and comings with Survival Unit and Resident Evil 2: Dead Shot. Enjoy.

    Episode 104: Happy Birthday Resident Evil 4

    Has it really been 20 years? 20 years since the sequel that forever changed the series, that became so divisive that it split the fan community, and yet was so groundbreaking it won numerous awards, spawned dozens of imitations and is likely the reason Resident Evil is still going strong to this day? Join the REP crew as we take you through the game from beginning to end, recounting new stories along with old experiences from our first ever playthroughs on the Nintendo Game Cube way back in 2005. What are the best tactics for the village siege? What were the developers on when they designed the castle, and why does the game still endure to this day? In the news we catch up with Resident Evil Requiem updates and the surprise announcement of new mobile game Resident Evil: Survival Unit. Guess who on the team is most excited about that one?

    Episode 103: Resident Evil Requiem Reveal

    Finally after what has felt like an endless wait, Capcom have formally announced Resident Evil 9 by debuting a trailer at Summer Games Fest - and boy did it surprise! In a move no one was anticipating, we are returning to the ruins of Raccoon City in a somewhat fitting move as we approach the 30th anniversary of the series. But perhaps even more surprising was the reveal of a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa from the Outbreak games! Join us as the REP team dissect the reveal trailer from top to bottom, looking at possible plot points, characters and gameplay speculation. In the news we look at OG Resident Evil 2 and 3 being made available on the Playstation Classics Catalog and we finish off with another edition of Neptune's Biohazard Quiz.

    Episode 102: The Future of Resident Evil

    The title says it all! With Resident Evil 9 still someways off, we take this unusually lenghty gap between announcements from Capcom (in fact we think it's the longest in the 30 years of the series) to delve into the possibilities of what is next to come for our favourite horror franchise. Such has been the gap, we have not really done a podcast like this since the pilot and together with comments from our patreons, we examine what could be next both out of universe and from a lore perspective. Yes, this means a re-examination of that REmake train and discussion of the future of spin offs (if any). We have multiple hopes from the fans on what they want to see next too from the lore perspective - a continuation of the Hound Wolf Squad story, more Mia Winters, or perhaps even a prequel with George Trevor - no prizes for guessing which team member that came from! In the news we also examine the now-confirmed Resident Evil movie reboot from Zach Cregger.

    Episode 101: Happy Birthday Resident Evil Outbreak File 2: End of the Road

    Welcome all as we bring the curtain down on our year-long Resident Evil Outbreak retrospective. We are down to the last scenario of File 2, the aptly named End of the Road, and battle Hunters, Zombies and a quite relentless Tyrant as we all make a break to escape Raccoon City before the missile (or is is missiles?) drop.  Getting Linda Baldwin to safety can potentially save millions of lives, but does Neptune realise that? What is the best ending? Just how valuable is the remote bomb switch for the Tyrant, and when is the right time to use it? These are just some of the quandaries faced by our team during one last desperate bid to escape.  In a meaty news section we discuss sales figures and the recent rumours about Zach Cregger overseeing the latest reboot of the live action film franchise. Rombie touches on the post-release and future plans of the George Romero Documentary and finally STARS_TyranT gives his thoughts on REVerse following news its servers are going to be shutting down. Please enjoy.
