Resident Evil Movie Director Reveals His Four Favorite Games
Zach Cregger, director of the newly released Resident Evil movie adaptation, has revealed his four favorite video games. Speaking with Regal, Cregger shared his choices as selections that came “off the top of my head,” indicating these weren’t carefully deliberated selections.
His four favorite games are:
- The Binding of Isaac
- Dark Souls 3
- Resident Evil 4
- The Last of Us 2
The selections have resonated positively with gaming audiences, with commenters crediting Cregger with solid “gamer cred” for these choices (via GamesRadar). The list spans multiple genres and styles, ranging from indie roguelikes to challenging action RPGs and narrative-driven experiences.
Cregger’s Dark Souls 3 choice was not surprising to those familiar with his gaming history. The director has a well-documented history of streaming Dark Souls 3 on Twitch over several years, demonstrating sustained engagement with FromSoftware’s notoriously challenging title. This history made his inclusion of the game on his favorites list an expected choice for those who follow his gaming interests.
His selection of Resident Evil 4 is equally logical given his professional focus as director of a Resident Evil film adaptation. The game stands as one of the most celebrated entries in the survival horror franchise and appears to hold significant appeal for Cregger personally, aligning his professional work with his gaming preferences.
Overall, the list represents a diverse range of gaming experiences, from indie innovation to mainstream blockbuster titles and demanding action gameplay. While Cregger acknowledged these selections were spontaneous rather than the result of extended consideration, they provide insight into the gaming interests that may influence his creative work adapting the Resident Evil franchise.
