As Halloween fast approaches some of us here at Resolution and our friends share with you the horrors we’ve experienced in games: I used to think I was the sort of blubbering ninny who avoided scary games. I watched my cousin playing through the first Resident Evil, whinged to my parents to buy it for me, received it, and gave up after the first zombie. But looking back, perhaps that was because I was about 10.
As I’ve grown into a less blubbery ninny, I’ve come to embrace horror games and am rarely scared by them any more. Gore? Delicious! Psychopaths? Charming! Hideously malformed grotesqueries from the twisted mind of some deviant? Huggable! All the visual stuff is creepy, but its not scary any more.
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.
It’s part of the GOG Preservation Program, which ensures it stays running on modern PCs.
Ugh!- i hate Halloween. Those annoying children going from door to door looking for sweets and money. They then go around the corner, change masks and make another sweep of the same street. Sneaky, Scary little shits.
