Game descriptions:
Resident Evil 7 biohazard sets a new course for the Resident Evil series, leveraging its roots while opening the door to a terrifying new experience. A dramatic shift to the first-person perspective and photorealistic visuals powered by Capcom’s RE ENGINE, Resident Evil 7 biohazard takes horror and immersion to a new level. The story introduces players to Ethan Winters, a man whose search for his missing wife brings him to a sinister southern farmhouse where he must fight to survive.
Based on the original genre-defining masterpiece, Resident Evil 2 returns as a deeper narrative experience completely rebuilt from the ground up. Using Capcom’s RE ENGINE, this reimagining of Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-pounding immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of the gameplay modes from the original game. The adventure follows rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they travel to Raccoon City only to find themselves trapped in a zombie nightmare from which they must escape.
