The series has its roots in horror and is known for creating a very scary atmosphere even when the graphics were far from as realistic as they are today. But the second presentation of the new version had a “Resident Evil” theme, focusing on action elements, which had a bad effect.

The head of the Bloober team, Piotr Babieno, made the announcement to comment on the controversy surrounding the promotional materials. According to the studio head, the images did not fully reflect the “spirit” of the title. Furthermore, he emphasized that the entire marketing strategy was the responsibility of Konami, the game's publisher.

In the First trailer It appeared to be slightly larger in the original version, which was considered a lack of accuracy when transferring elements from the classic version to the new version.

The Bloober team also commented on what happened at the time, declaring that the fact that the character had “aged” was an element to generate identification with the audience who had played the original, way back in 2001 – and that, like the game, he was also elderly.
