Nearly half a year since Sony released the PlayStation 5 and a decade since the PlayStation 4 was put to market, Sony has decided to pull support from some of their older consoles. In particular, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and the PlayStation Vita.
This is definitely an issue that Sony must pay more attention to, especially with Microsoft all but rubbing it in their faces. But, as of the moment, most gamers aren't too worried. This is mostly because the games that'll be gone forever were never really considered "best sellers". Or, at least, that's what most think.
However, you'd be surprised to find out that the effect of the PlayStation Store shut down extends to a video game franchise as big as Resident Evil.
Which Resident Evil Games Are Affected?
The Resident Evil franchise is considered the pioneer of the survival horror genre. The series effectively gave birth to the entire thing when the first game came out back in 1996. But while Capcom has made sure to update some of the older titles of the franchise, not all players can access every Resident Evil game on a modern console.
Here are all the Resident Evil games that are available only as a digital purchase on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and/or PlayStation Vita. Resident Evil Director's Cut Resident Evil Director's cut was Capcom's way of making it up to their growing audience after they delayed the release of Resident Evil 2. In addition to including the base game, the Director's Cut made a number of changes. This includes adding an "Arranged Mode" that switched item placements to challenge gamers who'd already memorized where things were. It also included a self-explanatory "Beginner Mode".
