Indie By Design delve into the belly of the beast on this week's gaming the podcast as Stace Harman and John Robertson, discuss and explore Resident Evil 1's mansion.
What makes it so revered? How has it stood the test of time so well and how does its design impact everything that occurs in the game?
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.
stood in time because was grounded and realistc ....original RE1 was ScienceFiction based horror that s why was so good....they created smhting that could be a scientific center or institute and not a vampiric castle with werewolves....that s how they managed to immerse the fans to its world and be so merorable
Developpers back then made excellent job to not copy holywood but create horror with colors and atmosphere.....RE1Remake.lost a bit of this essence making it extremely dark and black-losing alot from the art of its environment....
nostalgia that's all
The music was and is unforgettable.
Man the memories of pouring over magazine articles about resident evil when I was a kid, aching to play it then we managed to get an ntsc copy and figured out a way to play it on our pal PS1 with the ol disc swap trick but it would only play in black and white....and this was pre internet, we were crafty little buggers.
we were so excited to finally be playing resident evil even without colour.
We all screamed in unison when that dog first jumped through the windows, panicking trying not to mess up our escape with those tank controls, lol, good times.
The music, the visuals, the many different themed areas of the mansion and the sheer size of the mansion for a PS1 game.
This is probably the most memorable game environment for me, and I could probably re-draw the map from memory...
