Eurogamer100Capcom marks Resident Evil's 30th anniversary with a stellar return that's both a masterful bit of suffocating horror and a nostalgic, fan-thrilling victory lap for the legendary series.

After DLSS 5 furore, Resident Evil Requiem director says fan criticism of Grace Ashcroft's AI-powered makeover means team 'got her design right'
Resident Evil Requiem protagonist Grace Ashcroft seemed to be an instant hit with series fans following the game's launch back in February; so much so that when Nvidia unveiled an AI-powered DLSS 5 makeover for the character just a few weeks later, the pushback was strong and swift.

Yet, even after all this time a
