I really can't understand!!!!

Do you Like RE STORY ? this series comic is about the history of RE.

This game based on a story written by Japanese. This Story name : Biohazzard. When this game went to US. Because the game concern with Racoon City. So , I called : Resident Evil. That is my opinion

I don't know why. I say it probably has to do with sales like people have said in this discussion.

I have a magazine that tells why the series' name was changed, but I cannot remember where I put it lol. I think it said that Biohazzard was a different game entirely that inspired the Resident Evil series. I'll look for that magazine and update you when I read the article again.

I think they had to change it due to marketing stragety. And one thing I know is that biohazzard is also a movie... classic =P

I have read a Re Story. It told about the Re1, Re2.... About the past of Birkin and John - Ada's Boyfriend

I don't know why, but I think it has to do with marketing rights. Games made by Japanese developers come out over there first, therefore, the games have the original title. When they come out in America, the affiliates of the original company may have the right to change the name to get the most sales. Some names are common here that may not be over there. Resident Evil still rocks though, no matter what you call it! :)
