    What can you say, or perhaps not say, about a franchise that is knocking on the door of its third decade, whose most recent entries collapse under the weight of a polished remaster of its first entry? Resident Evil has become so bloated in its sequels and spin offs, all of them underwhelming, that revisiting Spencer Mansion for the third time is sadly a breath of fresh air. Nevertheless,What can you say, or perhaps not say, about a franchise that is knocking on the door of its third decade, whose most recent entries collapse under the weight of a polished remaster of its first entry? Resident Evil has become so bloated in its sequels and spin offs, all of them underwhelming, that revisiting Spencer Mansion for the third time is sadly a breath of fresh air. Nevertheless, it is a welcomed breath of fresh air as we now have the best Resident Evil in some years. Leave it to a polished up version of a 2002 Gamecube release, which in itself was a remake of the original 1996 release of Resident Evil's starting point, to put smiles on the faces of all the devoted old school fans who have wanted the series to return to its terrifying albeit cheesy and clunky roots. Capcom achieves greatness with making the arguably best even better by tidying up the controls, graphics, textures and sound, and letting it live and breath on current generation consoles. Those who only know modern Resident Evil, or never got to play this in 2002 entry have themselves a fantastic experience ahead of them as they explore Spencer Mansion and witness the groundbreaking horror first hand with the original core characters. This game doubles as a grocery list of what Survival Horror should be, and how the modern conveniences of gaming do not always make for the best experience. This take on Resident Evil is both familiar and curious, both comfortable and nerve racking, and both full of nostalgia and yet as challenging as a never before seen adventure. So those of you who have played the original '96 game, are still in for surprises around some corners, and challenges that will make resources vital. The dialogue, though still a bit cheesy, is multiple levels up from that of the delightfully awkward original script. It remains similar enough to bring back all the memories of the original, but separates itself enough from the past to intrigue, creating an almost parallel world experience with how similar but more thought out the new dialogue is. I found myself both listening to the new, but in my head quoting the old, making for some laughs. Once again, those first person views of doors opening, tight corridors with the moaning undead near by, and limping through halls praying for ammo and health all have your hair on end, and it is a most welcome return. The Mansion is only slightly redesigned enough to make you lull into comfort, thinking you have the situation under control before springing something new on you such as a new zombie placement, or unfamiliar room, or retelling an old experience in less predictably ways. The results are fun and frightening. The Mansion is alive with creaks and shutters, moving light and flashes of lighting, shadows and mirrors, fog and water, all pulling you in deeper than ever before. This is Resident Evil in all its Survival Horror glory. It would be impossible to rate this any lower than a perfect score, seeing as it is a better version of a past masterpiece, and then improved once again on top of that. Get lost in Spencer Mansion, and take a bloody bite out of the game that started it all, the one and only, Resident Evil.… Expand

    Resident Evil was one of my first 3D PC games back in 90's. It's great to be able to play this amazing "HD Remake" here again like those old days. The original Remake was released in 2002 for Nintendo GameCube and I remember the game looked awesome. I bet it was hard to redo a game that was considered one of the best PSX and SEGA Saturn games but they did a fantastic work, and as PS2Resident Evil was one of my first 3D PC games back in 90's.

I bet it was hard to redo a game that was considered one of the best PSX and SEGA Saturn games but they did a fantastic work, and as PS2 day-one user I was so envious of the GameCube back then :P

    Recently (in 2014) I was able to play this Remake on GC and I must say even though some parts looks slightly different I am very happy to play this gem!

    Pros:
    - Of course the 1080p (scalable with a .ini modification) and the option to unlock the 60 FPS.
    - The 16:9 cropped aspect option.
    - Some little assets were re-done in 3D with the addition of some sprite details.
    - Some other details were also on the GameCube version and now we can appreciate this better. For instance, Jill dust behind her footsteps in some wooden floors.
    - The non-tank controls for newbies.
    - In general it looks great due to its original resolution. The new dynamic lighting and some other filters makes all integrate better.
    - Is good that they didn't change the original models and animations much (maybe Chris a bit).
    - Achievements. Yes, I support them for this kind of re-releases. You can approach new playthroughs to achieve something crazy like play the game in something I call "Asian Mode" haha (under 3 hours, without saving, only with the knife...well I'm exaggerating haha!...FYI they are separate achievements).

    Cons:
    - The directional controls should have been a bit heavier and less responsible to make things fair and not that easy.
    - Tank controls with analog feels bad. The solution is to use the d-pad arrows (I recommend DualShock 4 because they have a better surface).
    - The High-pass filter / convolve sometimes makes.
    - Some 3D assets like statues and mechanisms don't have any improvement in textures, normals and models.
    - It's a shame they didn't have resources to re-render the backgrounds. In Resident Evil Archives books you can see some viewport of those XSI files. So it wasn't impossible. Just "not-affordable".
    - Some menus looks pixelated.

    Maybe it should have been named "RESIDENT EVIL / Biohazard HD Remake" but aside those cons I mentioned before, the game is 100% recommendable for horror fans and people who played games before the checkpoint and unlimited loot era haha! Now let's wait for the HD version of RE Zero and maybe a retail version of this amazing re-release.

    BTW I wish someday Steam and Capcom releases:
    - Resident Evil (1996)
    - Resident Evil 2
    - Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (and its funny Jill / Nemesis screen-savers haha!)
    - Resident Evil Code Veronica (the one who made me buy a Dreamcast back in 2001 and who was remastered for PS3 and Xbox 360 a few years ago)
    - And why not two in-viable ones RE Gun Survivor and RE Dead Aim :3 my guilty pleasures!    … Expand

    Resident Evil was a game that shocked everybody back in the day, there was no other game like it and even back then the controls were awful, but for some reason we were able to adapt more easily and were more patient than today.

Terrible camera angles and bad controls come with the territory when dealing with Resident Evil..

    I actually like the camera even today, it gives the game more of a spooky vibe, ofcourse this can lead to zombies eating your brains without you even being able to see them...

    The controls haven't aged well at all, probably being spoiled from modern games making everything more fluid has made me realize how terrible controls were for this game back in the day.

    The inventory system is a hassle as well. I ended up picking up keys and emblems but my inventory was too full to pick up some herbs or another key item, so I would have to go back and put a key item back just to be able to heal or even save with an in ink ribbon... That was probably just me being a dumbass and not knowing where to go, so extra items filled my inventory... Still annoying.

    The graphics are good and the hilariously bad voice acting returns ( which I like)

    I love the save system, I believe even modern games should have a save system similar to this as it builds tension and makes you think whether you should save your ink ribbon but by doing so you risk dying which means a lot of progress can be lost if you haven't used an ink ribbon in awhile.. If you run out of ink ribbons, finding another one feels so good.. The only modern game that makes me feel that tension is Dark Souls (not dark souls 2) with the bonfire system..

    All in all it's a good remake. I just wish that they tweaked the controls ( just a bit) so that it is less "tanky" it just does not fit well in modern gaming, and this is coming from a person who wanted the tanky controls back, but I am now eating my words..

    Anyway, pick the game up, just don't let the controls piss you off too much    … Expand

Тут еще нормальный Крис без рук базук (5-ая часть), и он просто лучше чем его редизайн из 7-ой части. В общем классическая резьба, именно такими RE и должен быть, ведь все эти экшоновые дебильнутые (в плане сюжета) 5, 6 и так далее части - это просто какой-то кринж. Про 4-ку расскажу в отдельном обзоре, но с неё то и начался уход от жанра Survival Horror с такими элементами квеста что ли, где упор был на повествование и взаимодействие с окружающим миром, типо головоломки всякие, и так далее, на бессмысленные рельсовые шутаны по зомбарям, а в последствие уже и по всяким паразитам, и черт пойми по чему еще.

    Al terminarlo me dije, "vaya, por qué no hacen mas juegos así hoy en día", se nota el estilo vieja escuela, donde puedes hacer saves solo en ciertas puntos con usos limitados para guardar in game, a la vez de tener slots limitados para guardar. En general el juego poco te cuenta de que hacer, tampoco hay ayuda del ambiente, o sea, si te acercas a una puerta no te indica el botón para poder interactuar, lo mismo para los itemes, notas, etc.
    Momentos tensos gracias a la música y los ángulos de cámara, y muchos puzzles por resolver.
    Una tremeda joya.

    Lo bueno:
    - 2 formas de jugar, la forma normal o con los controles tankes, tú decides cuál.
    - Varios finales para cada personaje.
    - Momentos de terror o sustos garantizados.
    - Muy buena atmósfera.
    - Muy buena trama.
    - Puzzles cortos, pero entretenidos de resolver.

    Capcom shows the way videogame classics should be treated. They are classics because they are over the graphics and the console generations, but an actualization is required from time to time. Nintendo is doing the same, and Kojima has already asked for HD versions of the first (and best) MGS titles.

    Many areas look better in the GameCube version...Resident Evil HD often disappoints when it comes to the HD part, but the rest of the game is so damn good, newcomers and old-timers alike should check it out.    … Expand

    I wish this game was optimized. I would give this game 9/10 if this game was truly optimized. Seriously, this game is more 10 year old and makes new hardwares like a complete junk. Capcom, i love your games but there are so many times i wish i could slap your fugly face.

    Yo lo resumiria como OBRA MAESTRA. Poco más se puede añadir cuando empiezas diciendo esto. Pero es la verdad. Además, como remaster HD del remake (nintendo gamecube) es la mejor versión posible. 1080p y 60 fps estables. (Nada de 30 fps, aunque lo puedes elegir claro)

    Yo descubri esta saga con el REVELATIONS, me encantó. Luego el 5. Me encantó. Incluso el 6, muy criticado. Y después del    Yo lo resumiria como OBRA MAESTRA.

    I wanted to give this game an 8 but then I remembered that it's 2021 and it's basically a texture update for a 2002 remake of a 1998 game. It's truly amazing game and it's not surprising that it got so much praise when it first released. Gameplay might be hard to get used to for the first hour but after you get used to it this game will drag you in for hours of now just pure fun.

    Having 2 protagonists allows you to have fun with the game a bit longer but they aren't that much different and neither are their stories so in the end it isn't much more than just an easy way to extend the playtime without adding new content. That is the only negative I have to say about this game and it is probably true for all the sequels as well. The good thing is that the developers at least didn't bother us with mindless quests and fillers to artificially extend the playtime and instead the gameplay and story are quite tense(for the lack of the better word) and engaging from the beginning until the very end.    … Expand

Then in 2002 they remade it using new engine, textures, voice overs and adding new content. Now in 2015 they are bringing remake to the newest consoles with high resolution textures and it looks fantastic.
    Story.
    Unit S.T.A.R.S. was called in to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the previous unit. Chased by a deadly blood starving dogs they ran into closest mansion where things were even more suspicious. Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield has to find out the truth while surviving in this big mansion filled with zombies.
    Gameplay.
    You control a character from a locked in third-person cameras that are placed very smoothly across all levels. Sometimes you will feel disoriented since camera changes from different angles, but you get used to that. You have personal limited inventory where you store consumable and key items. Also there's not much variety of weapons but bullets are very limited, which makes weapons more personal and valuable.
    Graphics.
    Visually game looks stunning, variety of environment is mind blowing. First I though it's just a mansion, who would've thought you visit Forest, Cabin in the woods, Basement, Laboratory, Cemetery, Tomb. Each level builds the atmosphere around you, that any second someone or something might pop out.
    Sound.
    Ambient alone is good enough to be a horror element alone. There might not be a single enemy in the level, but the pressure you feel cause of the sound effects is breaking the fourth wall. It made me feel like those sounds were not coming out from the game but from my apartment. I lost count how many times I ran away even that I didn't see anyone but just heard a creepy sound coming out of bushes or window.

    My verdict.
    Great again to see Resident Evil game as a survival horror. Now when I judge survival horror games I compare them with this gem, absolutely incredible experience that made me be on the edge of the seat the whole team. And best part is I wasn't playing it alone.    … Expand

    Great and old-school. Though I'm not a fan of the fixed-camera-angles with tank-controls. Thankfully as a PC gamer as I am, it's possible to change the controls to...I believe it's called "advanced controls", which means when you press the W-button your character will move forward regardless of the camera angle. It was fun to try and scary and I will definitely play this game again and again.

    This is a true masterpiece.
    The storytelling, the characters, gameplay, challenges: all perfect. The only one problem is a camera AND controls. Sometimes you die (on the hard level) just because the character ran in the wrong direction.
    Hopefully, in RE2 it was fixed.
    Looking forward for the third one.
