Resident Evil

I been waiting for this for a long time to be released updated to run on modern computers. I have the original RE1 for the pc version but I always had to use patches or other software to run the original RE1 on modern computers. But now, I don't have to worry about installing patches or anything related to that issue. This is the best it has happen. Been a fan of the first 3 original games since they came out. This is pure nostalgia! Very happy that this happen! I'm more happy that this is the original RE1 with the color uncensored intro and also the head of Kenneth is shown. Thank you again!!!

buy it now. relive the survival horror that started it all

Thank you GOG and Capcom for bringing this gem back! However, if you're playing on Linux, I recommend you wait a bit longer before getting it. I decided to refund the game because it isn't working on Linux yet. There are workarounds, but FMV's will not display at all, so it isn't an ideal experience. With some additional polish, I trust GOG will have it perfected. But for now, wait a bit longer.

I love RE and i own the classic trilogy already but i bought them on pc as well because i'm a big fan. The game runs fine but i wish the controller refreshed when you plug a new one in: Let me explain: the controller works great out of the box, however if somehow your controller gets unplugged, it won't be recognized again when you plug it back in, this is very annoying and can ruin some runs if you happen to play with a wireless pad that dies to you in the middle of the game or it gets accidentally unplugged (it happened to me). I also hope that the next releases of RE2 and 3 are more than just the vanilla base game from windows 98, the Japanese Sourcenext versions of the games happen to have the FMV at a very high quality, probably the highest ever released and i'd like to see them for every version of the game, not just the JP source next one. The Windows 98 version of those games ran fine but having the possibility to have your game in your native language AND having those crispy FMVs would make the GOG release the definitive version of these games for PCs (also pls, do not sleep on the Italian releases of those games).

Great game, one of my favorite survival horror games. Having said that the port is just ok, the weird animations and the compressed sound does detract from the experience. If this is the first time you play RE1 do not judge the game by this port. Still a great game just as two and three. However this seems like a barebone effort. The animation skip/acceleration does look weird, not unplayable, just breaks the mood at times. The music might not be audible to everyone, if you do not notice this you might just get by whiteout this bothering you. The version they choose might not be the best version of the game. I saw the announcement and the review, it is a pity that the review didn't mention this obvious points, except for the version. So the game is playable and it is a good game, but not close to the best version of the game. I hope GoG can take the time to improve to the best of their ability the issues many have risen. I think most agree that this is a welcomed effort. I am not refunding this since I wish this kind of efforts to happen in the future, but I will be a little more cautious next time.
