Intro dialogue: Survival Horror. An action-adventure subgenre created in the mid-1990s to describe certain video games that would try to frighten its players using a variety of different methods. Quite often these games would be set in unsettling locations and try to make its players feel less in control by constricting their amount of ammunition, health, and inventory space. While a few games set the stage for survival horror, one in particular defined it, Resident Evil. The game shocked the world when it first hit store shelves in 1996 and inspired countless sequels, spinoffs and clones. Many people often consider the next 5 to 6 years after Resident Evil’s initial release to be the golden age of survival horror games with its sequels being critically acclaimed and other popular series like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame making their debut. Near the tail end of this golden age, however, one person was becoming frustrated with the Resident Evil series’ progression, its original director, Shinji Mikami. The man that would also go on to oversee and direct its fourth entry, Resident Evil 4.
