Complete Global Saturation: Episode 5 - Resident Evil 6 - Feat. Gene Park - Videogame Journalist @ The Washington Post
Description
In this episode, Alex and Rob are joined by Washington Post Game Journalist Gene Park. Together we take a trip back to Tall Oaks, Lanshiang, and Edonia as Resident Evil 6 is revisited in all its glory.
After an intro with Gene on his history of gaming and how he ended up writing coverage of videogames for The Washington Post in recent years, a breakdown of the development history of Resident Evil 6 leads us into the deeper breakdown of the games design itself. Diving into both shows us why it was both such a failure upon release - and somehow now redeemed itself as an unexpected success for Capcom in recent years.
Alex and Rob haven't always been the biggest fans of this very divisive title, but know it has a fan base and Gene certainly reminds us why - to the point where all of us and hopefully you listening will be reminded of why Resident Evil 6 was such a unique title and one even possibly worth revisiting.
Join us as we talk through all of this and more on this episode of Complete Global Saturation!
This 12 episode limited podcast series is a follow up to Alex Aniel's book, 'Itchy, Tasty: A Unofficial History of Resident Evil' - which covers the first decade of the series from its origins in the early 1990s through to 2006. The book is available online at the usual retailers, in bookstores, or can be purchased directly from Alex's website - www.cvxfreak.com - which you can also have signed by Alex.
Future episodes will cover other games in the decade or so beyond all in aid of looking into topics Alex will cover for an eventual follow up charting more direct history of the rest of the series, and some special guests will join us from time to time to talk about the series.
Please feel free to subscribe, review, and share - and any questions can be put alongside wherever this is posted and we will try to return to these in a future episode.
