The Umbrella Chronicles presents itself as the recurring series villain Albert Wesker reviewing the incidents of three previous Resident Evil video games (0, 1, and 3) as part of a small new story about a Russian developed bioweapon known as the Talos Project. While there would be remakes of the important titles, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles came up with a brilliant, accessible means of helping new and more casual fans catch up on the series history with its arcade light gun shooter set-up.


As the Resident Evil series continued to grow, the plot gradually grew more and more complex and the older titles you’d need to play to follow it started to show their age with their hard-to-stomach tank controls.
