CVG: Resident Evil creator concerned over newspapers linking games to crime
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.
GOG writes: "Resident Evil HD Remaster and Resident Evil 0 are now available fully DRM-free on our platform and are also joining the GOG Preservation Program!
We’re thrilled to continue this journey with Capcom and expand the Program with two survival horror icons. Thank you, Capcom, for believing in video game preservation, and to all the passionate people within the company who have dedicated a significant amount of their energy to making these releases possible."
Nah, we've effectively passed the point where it's possible for the mainstream media to silence anything. Games will be either protected as free speech or simply weather any storm of controversy because the medium's growing size and relevance makes it harder to attack.

The Media is always looking for something to blame...
there should be a smear campaign agents the media for all the BS they tell us all they do is tell a twisted truth or lies... mostly lies and government propaganda,but whats new. "they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR VIDEO GAMES!!!..."
It is a sad notion that so many people, especially in the USA, do not question what they see or read in the news. In regards to video games, the people that condemn and vilify our beloved hobby have never picked up a controller or keyboard in the first place.
