re1 gc is a good game but a meme at the same time, feels like a downgrade from the original resident evil gameplay wise and dumbs down keeping barry alive to just "Yes/No" not to mention you lose more interaction with rebecca as chris, and the game forces you to go on just one path right away

Also he got confused, there was no DOS game called "Biohazard" there was a Sega game called "Bio-Hazard Battle" and a DOS game called "Bio Menace" that was apparently known as "Bio Hazard" during production. The main point was that is was changed due to difficultly trademarking the name
I would assume it’s just a translation error but I like to muse that Japanese devs just like to mash English words together and hope they sound cool.
Biohazard is a much more apt title for the series
you're such a homosexual
biohazard was already a registered trademark of some shitty band making the rounds in the late 90s, which is why they couldn't use it in the west
so they did a contest and a raffle and everyone pitched names, and resident evil was the first name that got pulled out that didn't sound terrible, so that's what they went with
its really not that big of a deal and it doesn't sound like a generic shitty game like every other game does these days, so who cares
Trademark doesn't mean you can't ever use a word again because someone owns it. Just means you can't use it in the context under which it was trademarked, e.g. if someone trademarks "stallion" for clothing then you can't make any clothing branded "stallion" but you can make a video game called "stallion" because they didn't trademark it for video games and you can still call stallions stallions in normal every day speech.
explain this sentence then >biohazard was already a registered trademark of some shitty band making the rounds in the late 90s, which is why they couldn't use it in the west
Oh, that's easy. It's not true. The band Biohazard didn't have a trademark on the word "biohazard". They had a service mark on a logo. Go look up the USPTO yourself. There's been numerous things for which the word "biohazard" has been trademarked for including a cigarette brand, a tea brand, clothing brand, a video game(that was actually Capcom, it's been abandoned), a video game developer(they're not related to Capcom), etc. None of these people had problems trademarking it.

The original game took place in a mansion. It's kind of an artifact title. It's not a problem in Japan where the series is called Biohazard.

the american localization team came up with Resident Evil
>game is appropriately named "Bio Hazard"
>americans has to change it to """"resident ebin"""" because the term bio hazard is racist or some shiet
burger naming conventions have always been moronic. They can't even get Harry Potter films right
you're such a homosexual

>bio hazard
>actual word that has meaning and is used scientifically
>can be trademarked
do americans really
whats next, trademarking the word Water™?
