Blk_Mage_Ctype: Folks keep saying they're disappointed because GOG is using the original versions of the games rather than enhanced re-releases, upgraded ports, and even modded versions of the game.

Meanwhile, I was thrilled by the announcement that these classics were being released on PC at all, as I had honestly abandoned all hope that Capcom would ever release them on PC ever again, and frankly cannot comprehend why so many folks are disappointed that this isn't "Resident Evil: Director's Cut Deadly Silence REbirth Turbo HD REmastered Zoomer Enhanced Edition" when all three games already have remakes with modern visuals and additional content.

I feel like everyone has missed the point of what these releases are intended to be and what GOG is trying to accomplish with them. Furthermore, somehow I doubt that all the folks calling for enhanced versions of the game with all sorts of enhancements wouldn't be very pleased if such a game were released with a higher pricetag.

Last but not least, the SourceNext and Mediakite versions are publicly available on the Internet Archive, (AKA Wayback Machine) so if folks really want to play Resident Evil Classic REbirth, they can just download all the necessary components and configure it themselves.

Personally, I'm thrilled that these games are being rereleased, I've already purchased the complete bundle, and will be more than satisfied with the enhancements GOG made to the game to begin with. They may not have been completely remodeled, retextured, and heavily modified to include anachronistic features and elements introduced later in the series, but it's going to look and run a heck of a lot better than the original PS1 releases.

ASnakeNeverDies: I doubt anyone truly wanted these games to be changed at all, they just wanted the best possible untouched releases. And this one will sadly never look as good as the PlayStation original because of the heavily compressed FMVs.

GUZROCK: but is it possible to get the videos from PS1 and replace the ones that are in the RE1 folder?

aureilia: The problem probably isn't the enhancement or upgraded port thing it's that it was literally ported exactly how it was with all the bugs.

Some of us just wanted a functional game but we all got sent right back to rebirth.

Wild.Dog: The game is more than functional.
There is a difference from being functional and having the features you wanted and saw in rebirth.
This is pretty much the release from 1997.

Blk_Mage_Ctype: I'm happy to see that most folks who've commented so far are in fact pleased with this release because previously, every thread that got any responses were the "I'm disappointed" threads and the majority of responses were "I'm disappointed too" while the one thread expressing appreciation or enthusiasm had no responses whatsoever.

That being said, I must reiterate my statement that those who are disappointed have entirely missed the point of this release. Preservation. This is intended to be essentially a port of the original PC Release, exactly as it was, simply playable on modern hardware with nothing more than the press of a PLAY button, ergo there was no reason to expect bug fixes, higher resolution cutscenes, higher fidelity audio files, or any other such enhanced features to be implemented because that wasn't the purpose of these ports to begin with.
GOG is an acronym for Good Old Games, the platform by definition is devoted to making old games available and playable on modern hardware, not enhancing them, not improving them, not remastering, remaking or revising them.

I'm certain that if these games sell well enough, then Capcom will most likely decide to release Remastered versions on Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Network, etc. Granted, they'll cost a heck of a lot more, — probably full price — due to the amount of effort put into their development, these games are $10 each, $25 if you buy the Bundle, because it isn't an Enhanced Edition, it's just a port.
