Horror has been one of the most beloved genres of entertainment media from the start, and video games are no exception to this. But, nearly 35 years after what is arguably the first horror game released, is there still hope for the genre to grow and press on? Or, are we facing the cookie cutter days of old?
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.
Resident evil in vr sure is
If the atmosphere and way they choose to scare is carefully thought of and handled then yes it is. If you rely on jump scares then just get out of the horror genre because you have no idea what you are doing. Getting into someone's head with the atmosphere as well as the sounds is 100x more effective than someone going "boo".
Are shooters still effective?
Are RPG's still effective?
What a silly title...
When its done right, yes. Resi evil 7 and prey attest to that. Not the cheap and low effort run&nogun games like outlast and amnesia and the crappy clones its "genre" created.
