1UP: In a decidedly un-zombie-like fashion, the Resident Evil franchise as a whole is arguably stronger than ever 15 years after its debut, with several new and revived iterations expected within the next year, as well as additional live-action and CG films further on the horizon. If you haven't been keeping a close eye on the impending twists and turns of the legendary series, here's a look at what to expect later this year and into 2012.
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.
Bring back the zombies and make the games scarier like they used to be, but with great controls.
Theres some pretty crappy resident evil games coming up.
Only the 3DS one with Sheva looks decent.
Capcom is going the Square Enix way.
This franchise has hit rock bottom for a while now. They are getting shallow and they keep burying themselves in that shallowness. Resident Evil needs depth and difficulty. Bring back the "survival horror" from the title to the actual gameplay. Give us back that good old rollercoaster of emotions, something that makes us think twice everytime we shoot and makes us tremble in anticipation when we look past that nasty dark corner.
Ahh the old days of resident evil sitting in a dark room playing while getting jumpy at every sound, i really miss that.
