Kevin Craig Writes: On a personal level, Resident Evil is my favorite franchise of all time. There have been many highs and lows, but that doesn’t prevent us from loving the zombie filled(Los Ganados? Las Plagas? Poisoned Hillbillies?) game series. So here is our ranking of the series up to this point.
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.
I think this is a well thought out and accurate list.
4 was the best! I have bought it 3 times. GameCube, Wii, and Xbox One X. It looks much better on current gen hardware, than on the Wii.
hahaha How is 4 a true masterpiece when coins fly out of birds. I think the game sucked. The rest of the list was alright. Though 2 should be in the first spot.
