"Do you remember back in the original PlayStation days when we were graced with the presence of Resident Evil? This survival horror gem took us by surprise and made us hide behind our blankets more often than any scary movie. As the series continued we kept playing and we kept running home to mama as nothing else seemed to stand up to the franchise. But then everything changed as we were introduced to Resident Evil 4. Many people dispute that this is the best game in the series but it changed the series so much. It took some survival horror aspects and introduced new action elements that were very much welcome. But was Resident Evil 4 the game that cursed the franchise?"
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.
Since Resident Evil 5 I have washed my hands of the series. Capcom would have to do something pretty special to make me give a damn again.
I will however gladly play Resident Evil 4 again.
The fact that I can actualy play the later games, to me is testament to how they aren't as scary. RE1 and 2 are still in the list of games I will play when I'm not such a pussy... It's really hard to figure what changed the series so drastically, whether it was the camera angles, or the aiming, the fact that the enemies seem to no longer be dead heads, or the fact that you can play the newer titles multiplayer. Either way. I don't know if I am happy with the direction they took, or just relieved that I don't have to add any more scary games to my list.
A reboot maybe. That usually works
"Where Does Capcom Go Next With Resident Evil?"
well they can start by making the next resident evil with a character that isnt military trained and fighting zombies,monsters,weskers, every day.
Capcom should make new ip for focus Actions (With few horror element )
