Cringingly embarrassing, the intro movie features actors as Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, cult favourite Barry Burton and the rest of the S.T.A.R.S in ill-fitting costumes, running about in a field waving plastic guns, searching for Bravo Team, lost in the mountainous regions near Raccoon City, before (for some reason) concentrating their search in a nearby mansion.

The Saturn version was also very well-received. While most remarked that Capcom had taken too long to bring Resident Evil to the console (the game had been out on the PlayStation for well over a year, and hype had built up for Resident Evil 2, which would be released in just a few months), [69] [72] [95] [111] critics agreed that the game was still as stunning as it had been on its initial release and had been accurately recreated for the Saturn. [69] [72] [87] [95] [111] Computer and Video Games, for example, commented that "With all the talk about the Saturn being inferior in this department, the [graphics] quality cannot be surpassed. All of the rooms, the enemies and the animation are almost identical." [69] GamePro, which gave it identical scores to the PlayStation version (a 4.0 out of 5 for control, and a perfect 5.0 for graphics, sound, and funfactor), summarized that "It would have been nice to have it on the Saturn sooner, but this is as close to a sure thing as you could ask for." [111] Sega Saturn Magazine said that "the intense feeling of terror heightened by the chilling music and eerie silences ... sets Resident Evil apart from any other adventure game you may care to mention." [95] Critics also widely praised the Saturn-exclusive Battle Mode. [69] [87] [95] [111] StuffTV (December 26, 2017). "Stuff's Best Games Ever: The 25 Best PlayStation Games of All Time". Stuff.

GameSpot listed Resident Evil as one of the fifteen most influential video games of all time. It is credited with defining and popularizing the survival horror genre of games. It is also credited with taking video games in a cinematic direction with its B-movie style cutscenes. Its live-action opening, however, was controversial; it became one of the first action games to receive the "Mature 17+" (M) rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), despite the opening cutscene being censored in North America. [44] Chicago Tribune said it "revolutionized" gaming in 1997. [136] Resident Evil was the first game to be dubbed a " survival horror", a term that it coined for the genre. [125] It was ranked as the 91st top game of all time by Next Generation in 1996, stating that it "successfully redefine[d] the genre which started with Infogrames' Alone in the Dark." [114] In 1996, GamesMaster rated the game 14th on their "Top 100 Games of All Time". [126] Game Informer referred to the original Resident Evil as "one of the most important games of all-time" in 2007. [127] In 2012, Time named it one of the 100 greatest video games of all time. [128] That same year, the game ranked as one of G4tv's top video games of all time for how it has "launched one of the most successful series in gaming history and provided one of its most memorable scares."

Resident Evil was created by a team of staff members who would later become part of Capcom Production Studio 4. [13] The inspiration for Resident Evil was the earlier Capcom horror game Sweet Home (1989). [14] Shinji Mikami was commissioned to make a game set in a haunted mansion like Sweet Home, [15] and early on, the game was intended to be a remake of Sweet Home. [16] The project was proposed by Sweet Home creator Tokuro Fujiwara, who was Mikami's mentor and served as the game's producer. [17] Fujiwara said the "basic premise was that I'd be able to do the things that I wasn't able to include" in Sweet Home, "mainly on the graphics front", and that he was "confident that horror games could become a genre in themselves." He entrusted Mikami, who was initially reluctant because he hated "being scared", with the project, because he "understood what's frightening." [18] Since Capcom no longer had the rights to the Sweet Home license, they had to invent a new universe, [17] but the game still adopted many elements from Sweet Home.
