Resident Evil

To see this game suddenly come out on GoG was an amazing thing but after picking it up and playing sadly I cannot recommend the game or collection because there are better alternatives to playing this version. This is a re-release of the original Resident Evil 1 for PC and not the Director's Cut version that was only available for console so there are missing features. There are no options in game other than keybinding, there is no difficulty selector, the FMVs are about 1 second or so out of sync with the audio so you will hear the sound of the blood before you see the blood during the first time you see a zombie and this is not the only FMV that does this, the shooting in the room with the statue for some reason shoots at double the normal rate, the loading screen for stairs is strangely fast but at least you can skip the loading door scenes in this version of Resident Evil and at least deserves a +1 Star. In all honesty I would recommend just emulating the console versions of the game since you are missing out on content from the Director's Cut version.

Wish there were remapping options, but you can still use the ReBirth dlls, which is honestly a bit better, I get they were going for authenticity here, so it's fine, but more options are always good.

I have played a bit of this , got all the crests now and need to save the guy who was bitten by the snake . Only real issue is there are NO INK RIBBONS but you can save anytime . RE is known for its ink ribbons! I hope they fix this . Also noticed in th Keepers diary , theres an error which supposed to say "Itchy , scratchy , tasty . " but it says " 4 , itchy scratchy " hope that gets fixed too. I hope we have some nice surprises in RE2 and 3 as well . apart from that its great that people who never had a chance to play these , can do so now . Gpood to see them in digital formats , to play anywhere.

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.
