Resident Evil

Recently got the sourcenext ports, only to have them release on GOG....instant buy

I've played this for around an hour and a half so far, don't let my game time fool you, I have so much experience with RE 1 that I could breeze through the game if I tried really hard, But some things to note that I'm very dissapointed about, One, why in the holy hell would you take out ink ribbons?! That was the main thing that made Resident Evil have so much tension back in 1996, how do you take out such a key feature, OR at the very least give us the option to enable or disable it ourselves. Two, I can't make the V-JOLT in the main room, I don't know if it just installed wrong or what, but with that not working, it is Impossible to get Jills good ending. But I was furious about having no ink ribbons, saving whenever you want completely ruins the tension and fear that Resident Evil was so famous for. I hope a future update fixes this but that is pretty awful for a port of a wonderful classic now engrossed by this whole fad that "Video games need to be easy" Please for the love of god, fix this. And DO NOT do the same for the other two Resident Evil Classic Games.

I found no way to open the Item Menu. Tested both Keyboard and Controller input, always takes me to that button configuration menu. Also, why is the character select spinning?

No director's cut content - especially arrange mode with different camera angles and different items placement. Rendering resolution of 3D models is very low. It should match the game resolution. Background could be AI upscaled. From good things is that it's not censored and the ability to skip the door opening. For the full RE1 experience you are better off with PSX emulator and Director's Cut version where you can have higher resolution of 3D models and all missing content. You can use fast-forward to skip the door animations.

Hey the fact that this is re-released it's a freaking miracle, but the fact that it's inferior to the SourceNext "patch it yourself" version walking around the internet, for 10 € makes it a nostalgia prank. I'm always happy to see something good being legally distribuited, but as many say, this is a poor port to be re-released. People are expecting some add-ons, different versions as option, QoL updates included... What you made here is a very slim excuse to re-sell a game that honestly everybody can have a better free version. GOG keeps playing with nostalgia, but in the end,if they keep releasing games with no updates to modern systems and no other added gaming modernities, people will just rather keep to communities and DoItYourself versions of dear old games. They keep releasing barebones ports of old games and expecting that the buyer goes to the internet and patch the bought games by him/her self. Who makes this decisions? Are gamers that stupid? I'm just sick and tired of this petty greed that preys on the average consumer whishes and needs. 3/5 just for the re-release, 2 points out for the poor job at it. There is still time to correct the ports, untill then, there are better versions of this game out there.
