Resident Evil Survivor is a light gun shooter video game developed by Tose and published by Capcom. It was released on the PlayStation in Japan on January 27 2000 in Europe on March 31 2000 and in North America on August 30 2000. It is a spin-off of the Resident Evil video game series. It is also the first first-person perspective Resident Evil game predating Resident Evil 7: Biohazard by seventeen years. A Microsoft Windows version was released only in China and Taiwan on September 7 2002. As the first release of the Gun Survivor series this game was a major difference from the main Resident Evil series substituting the third-person perspective of the previous games to a first-person view. The Japanese and European versions of the game were compatible with Namco's GunCon/G-Con 45 light gun making it one of the first off-rail light gun games whereas lightgun compatibility was removed from the North American release. It was followed by Resident Evil Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica.
