Resident Evil

I would like to start this review by saying that Resident Evil is one of my favorite sagas. The first installment is not only my favorite one of the saga, but also my favorite game. Also, I want to say that this is my first review on GOG. And honestly, it's the first game I have refunded here. I was very excited when the GOG team (thank you so much, sincerely) sent me an email to tell me that they had re-released the 1996 title on their platform. In my mind, this was the definitive edition of a great game, but I was wrong. I'm not going to talk about the game itself, because I think we all know it. If that's not the case, you should know that it's one of the great gems of the videogames and it's the father (not the grandfather, that's Alone in the Dark) from the Survival Horror genre. The things that seemed unfortunate to me are the following: - Poor quality videos, both in frames and resolution. It's something that was present in the PC version of 1996, but it is something that can easily be corrected. - The soundtrack has a lot of white noise and is VERY annoying. - The game runs a little fast, but it speeds up much more at random times and happens frequently at many loading times. This makes it frustrating. - This is less criticizable, but it does not bring any of the additional content of the director's cut. Neither the difficulty levels, nor extra clothes or the Sega Saturn battle mode. These are things that were not released in the PC version, yes, but since they are relaunching the product it would have been an added value for fans. I'm going to wait to see if they solve any of the problems before buying the game again. For the price it has, it is very cheap, but I find it sad that they have not dedicated the time necesary to polishing small aspects and even more so knowing that they have managed to fix the most difficult thing and that is to make it compatible with modern PCs.

The game will not even launch with an AMD GPU. Unacceptable to be selling a game that requires the REbirth mod to work.

It is very good that the graphics are the originals and it is the original version (although I would prefer that they had improved the textures, graphics and placed videos with better resolution), but please add a translation into Spanish, they already exist Spanish translations.

The game works just fine, but that's pretty much it you know? No achievements Nothing really new was added It's just good old RE, is that a problem? HELL NO but it could've been better... Thanks GOG, capcom couldn't care less about this one

Works great out of the box with many controller types and can easily be patched to modify graphics and enjoy higher quality soundtrack, FMVs, and other various features. Solid tutorial on Youtube. This version can be patched into MediaKite and used alongside fan projects such as Classic Rebirth and RE1SHDP. Classic Rebirth CAN be enjoyed with an AMD gpu, however you will need freeware dgVoodoo2 v2.64 (newer versions can cause graphical errors). Remember to set vRAM under dgVoodooCpl to match your gpu to prevent crashes and to paste updated dgVoodoo.conf under the corresponding folder in %appdata%. Great times await as you enter the survival horror!
