WhatCulture writes: With Resident Evil 6 hitting stores later this year, it’s fitting to revisit the franchise and have a look back at the games that made Resident Evil a popular name. From a simple mansion exploration to ass-kicking in Africa, the Resident Evil games have plenty of varied settings and also have a variety of mainstay characters that have become synonymous with the series. A word of notice here that this list may contain SPOILERS for the games. Enough of that for the intro, let’s get into the list:
Capcom has announced and released the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 on Steam.
With the ninth mainline installment looming, it feels like the right moment to rank every mainline Resident Evil game from worst to best.
At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.
I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.
The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.
The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.
i’m fine with people calling it “mainline,” but leaving out the original re1 entirely is wild, since it basically defines the whole series. i’d still put re2 over re4 for pure pacing and atmosphere, even though re4 is the more replayable game. also, the “mainline” label gets messy with code veronica since it feels more essential than some numbered entries. i swear half the time i’m reading these rankings i get derailed by random gambling tabs i opened earlier, including https://monopolybigballerli... and https://football-studio-dic... and https://red-baron.org/ which is a weird contrast to talking about survival horror.
Capcom has launched a new website to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its long-running survival horror series, Resident Evil.
To say that RE5 is better than Nemesis is repulsive and to say that RE4 is the best is just an attempt at being a hipster. Take of your plastic glasses and quit wearing socks with sandles there whatculture, RE2 is still the best. Ok that's just my opinion. I liked RE4 but didn't think trumped the original titles. Games back on the PS One have an artstyle that has yet to be beaten. The gameplay, the style, the camera effects, the way the rooms were set up, just still blows me away.
Leon fanboy confirmed.
I'm interested to know how old this person is. It seems like different generations have different beliefs on this series. The REmake is the best there is hands down. Here's how I rate.
8. Zero
7. Code Veronica
6. RE5
5. RE4
4. RE3
3. RE1
2. RE2
1. REmake
RE5 should be no where near a top Resident Evil list, but to place RE3 last is even worse. You might as well add Gun Survivor.
