For years, Resident Evil has been known as one of the most thrilling action-adventure franchises around. It was the series that successfully popularized the survival horror sub-genre, and it has garnered a loyal following throughout the years.
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 would like it to be, I loved RE4 though, even without the scary
This is why I am actually pretty excited to play Silent Hill Downpour. The game looks scary and still plays like a classic survival horror game. Resident Evil is just turning into Gears of Zombies.
Turn off the lights then.
No seriously i get it thoe the first was always the scarest for me psx alone in a room late evening no lights silents then leechers come at you or dogs threw a window. or you hear the eeeerrrrr zombies making you shitting yourself dont want to open a door not knowing whats there.
Well it won't be anytime soon. Personally i got more hope for Silent Hill: Downpour.
I agree. Though it also needs to bring back the lack of ammo and tension that made RE4 (On the first run ever) so great, and what made Dead Space 2 so wonderful as well.
