Resident Evil

Needs a little work but worth it. This certainly feels like the pc version I knew and love and it still throws off a scarier vibe than the remakes and I am glad it's not the directors cut. To those that love the game series and never played the pc versions are in for a treat. The thing is this game was made made to be viewed on the old CRT monitors. Thats where you got the smooth textures back in the day vs playing the ps1 version on an old TV. This doesn't translate over well to the flat screen 1080 Plus monitors of the past twenty years but I have seen worse and maybe that can be adjusted. There's some glitches I hope get ironed out and I have not completed this yet but so far nothing game breaking. One last thing. I haven't found out how to reload a save while in game. I have to close the window (game) and reload. Maybe I'm missing something.

Great that they have released this and soon to be 2 and 3. But I don't know if it's just me but I feel like its still like trying to play the original version, where it plays abit too fast, compaired to Mediakite version. Still, nice to have in my library

I'm just gonna come out of the gate and say it, this port ain't it. I have been a huge fan of the RE series for most of my life, and despite owning these games multiple times over I HAD to add this to my collection as well. But it's got blatant issues. Some of these issues I'm pretty okay with. Freaking FMV's are at like 10FPS for example but it's whatever, it doesn't effect gameplay and I suppose that is AUTHENTIC to the original US PC release. Another one is that the prerendered backgrounds are not upscaled or improved in anyway. I'm not surprised by this at all personally, I didn't expect them to be but I do think it's worth a mention. However issues that are just plain unacceptable are the screwed up music. That crap had a lot of static sound and a weird layer of digitized sounding noise on top of every music track. Also the skipping animations. Looks so bizarre. For example Chris would be running forward and "teleport" a step ahead occasionally quite often. I have played many iterations of this title and have never once experienced either of these two obvious MAJOR issues. I think 1 star is probably a little too harsh, it's pretty far from unplayable admittedly, but it's a statement. I wanted to support this but it's simply a sub par product. I have been let down. I have requested a refund. What also surprises me is that SuzyTheSphereHunter seemed to endorse this port and I trusted her considering I love her content and she has a great passion for the franchise like me. Yet despite this, she never mentioned the obvious butchering of the music and weird character jutter/skipping in her video?? Maybe she wasn't allowed to say anything negative who knows. Don't buy this. Save your money until they fix it if they ever do.

I'm so happy about this release and I can't wait to play RE2 which is my fav. The only comment I have is WHY not the director's cut edition in RE1? I mean, we would have ARRANGE MODE which is very nice.

I never thought I'd live to see the day that the ORIGINAL Resident Evil game from 1997 would ever be seen sold again. Boy was I shocked! Very thankful from both GOG and Capcom for this. Genuinely thankful for this amazing preservation effort and keeping it in it's original state but fixing it up enough for it to run on modern PCs. I understand that this is the original 1997 game, but there's still a bit of work to do on this which I hope will get fixed with an update. There's some weird stuttering when controlling Jill or Barry and is very distracting.
