A necessary evil

"Resident Evil 7" was announced this month, but it won't be available until January 2017. What's a "Resident Evil" ("Biohazard" in Japan) fan to do until then? Luckily, to tide us over, Capcom is also releasing a remastered version of "Resident Evil 5" for current-generation consoles.

"Resident Evil 5" was originally released in 2009 on Xbox 360, PS4 and PC. It was controversial at the time for its depiction of an in-game African setting but went on to sell more than 7 million copies globally, making it Capcom's biggest hit.
