Resident Evil Requiem has landed on Steam, and is now the series' biggest launch to date on Valve's PC platform.

Resident Evil Requiem just smashed through a long-term Steam playercount record just hours after launch, and it's still going.

While fans would soon appreciate the Paul W.S. Anderson-directed series of movies and its laissez-faire approach to the source material, the director himself has now revealed that the decision not to do a "slavish adaptation" of Resident Evil stemmed from believing that its audience would know the major twists going in.
