Resident Evil

At first the controls are very clunky and the fixed camera angle is very bothersome, but after sometime you'll get acquainted with the controls and won't be that much of trouble. However, the fixed camera angle will still bother you from time to time; you'll get hit because of the camera angle and you'll miss places because of it. I've played some other puzzle games and one thing that I think that is badly done is how most of the puzzles you can't solve it in place, it's mostly based on getting items and trying to deduce where it could be placed to unlock something, to get another item to open another place. I never felt being able to stop and think about a solution and after that being able to solve it. It feels that you're just running around all the time. I got this game because I thought most of the time I'd be solving puzzles, but most of it never felt like a puzzle, more like trying to get some item and finding where the heck it goes. I don't think it's worth mentioning the combat because I don't think it is difficult after you spend some time playing, and to be sincere it's not what you're going to spend most of your time doing.

I'm using an xbox one windows controller and it seems to perform fine, though I'm only about 15 minutes in. The hitching, jerky, and noticable frame pacing problems while running and moving around is really unfortunate. This should be a butter smooth experience and its just not... Hopefully it can be patched, if not, then modded to be what it should have been.

It's the inferior original game with all of its flaws and lack of content and features. All they did is make it run on Windows 10/11. Pretty dumb and had I known this I wouldn't have bought it. What a waste of money! GOG is really going down hill in terms of quality lately. I'll stick to the superior versions on PS1. RE2 better not be the original game missing all of the content from Dual Shock Version!

Really glad that we can finally play these classics on new hardware now, haven't had a problem playing this so far but I feel like there are things in here that could definitely make it the best port available like : - Director's Cut Mode - Higher Resolution on backgrounds,movies etc - Better UI system (have to press f9 to quit game) - Wishful thinking but RE - Deadly Silence features(Skippable Cutscenes, Manual Reload, Left trigger assigned to knife and Quick turn)

I can't recommend this port as the definitive way to experience the original resident evil and while i understand that GOG is trying to preserve the game in it's original state, i think they've picked the wrong version to preserve. From what i've noticed it seems GOG used the windows 95 version of the game, due to that the fmvs, as well as audio is heavily compressed causing the experience to be quite painful to listen. It also changes jill's campaign to remove the use of ink ribbons on the first playthrough which i'm pretty sure only windows 95 does that. GOG has an amazing oppurtunity to make this the best version of resident evil 1 and i really do hope they'll update the game to fix certain issues that are still present as well as allow a bit more control over ceratin aspects of the port. A fan patch of this game (REbirth) has been present for quite some time now, allowing players to use custom resolutions, quick turn like in resident evil 3 and manually reload your gun. GOG should be aware of what they're competing with, but i still praise the team for allowing this to be a quick and easy game to get access to in a playable state. GOG i really hope you consider adding features like: - custom resolutions (4:3), - bilinear filtering (some prefer smooth over crunchy) - quick turn, - skip in-game cinematics, - manual gun reload, - higher quality fmvs, as well as audio (MediaKite Port), - volume options,
