Resident Evil

When I was five, this game scared the hell out of me. Now, it makes me laugh thanks to its meme-worthy dialogue. It's still a good time, and any modern fan of the series who didn't get to play this should absolutely give it a try if they can spare the $10, or $24 for the bundle. I'm just saying, I'd absolutely pay an extra few bucks for the DX version's content.

RE (1996) is my all-time favourite game in the RE series, I've played various versions of it on different systems, such as: Sega Saturn, Playstation, Nintendo DS, PC (before this re-release). Basically, I LOVE this game and this version on the PC is fantastic. The framerate is better, the graphics are sharper, and the controls are silky smooth and quick to respond, in fact took me about half a playthrough to adjust to faster and higher performance controls and playthrough; the previous versions of this game do have a lower frame rate, so it was like going from swimming in treacle to sliding down a chute that was covered in grease, but once you adjust, you'll never want to go back to the other versions of RE 1996. One of the best parts about this game is that as with the OG PC release, this re-release also rewards both characters with automatic weapons if you complete the game in under 3 hours; let me tell you, these guns are SO much fun and allow you take whizz through the game, wiping out every enemy and boss with ease. It's also kind of cathartic, especially when wiping the floor with a boss that can normally be a pain in the backside. It also saves you from needing to acquire any other weapons and ammo as you simply DON'T need them!! If there is just ONE thing that I wish could happen to make things better, it would be Capcom allowing GOG to re-release a PC version of the RE1 Director's Cut (NOT the Dualshock one though), I love the arrange mode version of the game!! Please, please, please give this some title some love, it's frequently overshadowed by RE2 (1998); which is a good game in itself, but completely lacks the tension, atmosphere, OST and true survival horror vibes that RE (1996) brought to the table.

I'm so glad GOG took time to port this over to modern PC. I still have my North American Virgin Interactive PC version here and it doesn't work unless I go through a grueling process to make it work. Already have my Rocket Launcher completed saves and it was a pleasure to go through, as always. Can't wait for the two other games to release! I hope this trilogy is a huge success so that Capcom realizes that there is a audience for the original trilogy and that more people should be given the chance to play it on modern systems. Keep up the good work!

You already know what it is, nostalgia at its finest.

really good. pace gets a bit wonky after the mansion (as usual after act 1 of RE games) but very good if taken as a whole and amazing in the context of when it was released
