Quote from JynxDaddyWouldn't it be better to not 'rip off' an existing game series, not only to avoid possible legal issues - but to be creative.
We're ripping off nothing. It's an original narrative set in the RE universe, and the reason we want to do it is because we're pretty much in love with the series and think it has a ridiculous amount of potential as a FPS - if done right.
And thankfully, Capcom care not about mods based on their franchises, as long as they are non-commercial.
