Back in the 90s, I took Resident Evil very seriously. I loved the claustrophobic environments, the puzzle and exploration aspects, and, of course, the zombies. With Halloween rapidly approaching, and the release of Operation Raccoon City just a few months away, it seemed like as good time as any to head back to Raccoon City and revisit the title that kicked off one of gaming's longest-running horror franchises. So I downloaded Resident Evil: Director's Cut from PlayStation Network and reintroduced myself to an old friend.
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.
Resident evil died with the ps1.
Anyone who says that any Resident Evil game before Resident Evil 4 is the best is a complete idiot.
Resident Evil 4 > Any other Resident Evil game
Real gamers know that RE2 is the best.
I agree 100% although Code veronica was pretty good, RE 1-3 were my favorite. I just recently played them again on my PSP and i still love them.
RE 2 is my favorite also. I liked that you could play it four times, 2 times with each character, and see more of the story each time.
I just played RE1, RE2, RE3, and RE 4 and I think the first 3 are better than 4 still even after all these years. And they are all much better than 5, meh.
