![Random: You'll Wish Scrolling Beat-'Em-Up Resident Evil: Survive Was a Real PS5, PS4 Game 1](https://images.pushsquare.com/7cae5c10ec75f/random-youll-wish-scrolling-beat-em-up-resident-evil-survive-was-a-real-ps5-ps4-game-1.900x.jpg)
Resident Evil: Survivor on PS1 proved the versatility of Capcom’s franchise, as it transformed the series into a lightgun shooter. That gameplay loop was later repurposed for the PS Move titles The Umbrella Chronicles and The Darkside Chronicles. We’ve also seen the series transformed into a team-based shooter, an online survival game, and much more.
But this is the first time we’re seeing what Resident Evil could look like as a Streets of Rage-style beat-‘em-up. This project, created by ChrisMonvel and played by Hack Games in the video embedded below, looks incredible:
“Resident Evil: Survive is a side-scrolling action horror game developed using the OpenBOR engine, based on Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise of the same name,” the blurb reads. “The game draws inspiration from The Mercenaries bonus game originally introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, featuring a retro-inspired look.”
This looks just like classic Capcom beat-‘em-ups, such as Final Fight or Captain Commando, with its huge chunky sprites and local four-player co-op. Obviously this is a fan project – you can download a free demo through here – so it’s never going to officially see the light of day, but we absolutely love the concept and would be open to an experience like this on PS5 and PS4.

Looks good 👍 Crisis Evil 1 - 3 are great resi side strollers too. Would highly recommend openbor, the he-man game is fantastic
Edit: I read it wrong...erasing my question
@Deljo Thanks for the heads up, not heard of any of these! Will check them out!
Nice! Isn't Jill's sprite from MvC2 ?
@get2sammyb if you enjoy side scrolling beat-em-up's you'll love it. Openbor is a free open source side scroller engine based on streets of rage (the bor bit actually stands for beats of rage) and there's literally hundreds of this style of game based on loads of franchises. He-man is the best of the bunch for me but there's loads of marvel, dc, MK, SF games etc. Plus they'll run on a potato...😁
I like what I am looking at definitely "I would buy that for A dollar" Or more. Become A Jill sandwich yes please.
@everynowandben The old one is Survivor and the new one is Survive.
@FinneasGH My bad! Reading is hard 😂
N.i.c.e. it also looks like Cadillacs and dinosaurs.a arcade classic.i would play that.word up son
The fact that you can download the demo for this game is crazy. looking at all them legal issues
OpenBOR yes I have plenty on my retrogaming mini pc. The Splatterhouse ones are great as well.
