Resident Evil

After 15 years, prayers answered

Finally, an easy & legal way for players to experience the classic RE Trilogy. Thank you GOG for pulling Capcom by the ears and finally bringing it to the fans! I bet by releasing it here it's going to reach a wider audience and the OG game disign will no longer be the boogeyman amongst the younger gamers and they will see for themselves how techical limitations bring out creativity. And the superiority of fun over realism. As for some ppl being dissapointed by this version: Lacking console content..? Um, it's a PC version? The legal battles GOG had to face locating the distributor of this version are no biggie..? Lacking mod content? Um, mods CHANGE the original game? The creators of the mods would have to be reached, to get their permission, and they would have to be foolproofed to ensure their viabilty? Since when a PC gaming platform has to offer console games with mods on top or else they're greedy grifters? For an ordinary fan these games are not avaliable at all! Emulation, Tortuga, or auctions starting at hundreds of $ untill yesterday, and you complain it's not Sourcenext?! Is somebody under the impression that Capcom wanted this to be made? They actively DESPISE their past, despite it being the only reason for their current positon on the market! And some people tell on themselves by not knowing that if you begin your first round with Jill, the game has a few neat tweaks for ya! But okay, don't pay, don't play. Free country, high infation an' all. Just don't be surprised that you'll get more "realistic" "reimaginings" for "modern audiences". Cast your vote, as I cast mine. For anyone that doesn't know this game - survival horror, zombies, liminal spaces, no cheap "dark is scary". GREAT pacing, every corner - an enemy or an item. Never lets you get bored. A "little" pixelated, I guess you won't see all the mud puddles in HD. Give it a try!
