Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Reused Graphics

One of the reasons for the high level of polish in this game is that time was saved on 90% of the areas and character models. By re-using design and graphical content from other games, and just adding a graphical face-lift, designers were able to spend more time polishing and less time building. Resident Evil Zero (Gamecube) and Resident Evil Rebirth (Gamecube) were obvious choices for the Training Facility and Mansion scenarios. It's interesting to note that Resident Evil : Outbreak (PS2) provides both scenery and models (zombies) to cover the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis portion of the story, as well as Ada Wong's side feature, and many textures of the final installation. So while Outbreak may not be a financial success for the series, it contributed to this great 'compilation' game.

Sales

According to publisher Capcom, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles has sold 1.3 million copies worldwide since its initial release (as of June 30, 2016).
