    Two games. Two nightmares. Explore the origins of the best-selling survival horror series with these remastered versions of the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0.

    Two games. Two nightmares. Be prepared to go back to the origins of gaming's best-selling survival horror series in Resident Evil Origins Collection. These remastered versions takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original releases and transforms them with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. Theres no better way to experience the beginning of the storied franchise.

    In the original Resident Evil, you will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? You will need to be brave as you adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available, you will need to keep your wits about you to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet you at every stage.

    In Resident Evil 0, you go back one day further. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The citys Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the teams helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.

    Origins Collection brings back the classic RE style, in style!

    It may be mostly a remaster of Resident Evil 0, but it feels fresh with the fresh coat of paint, achievments, and other little touches that make it the definitive version of RE0.

    The visuals have aged quite nicely. Aside from the cutscenes and a few stray textures that haven't been touched up, everything looks slick and modern. The clarity of the backgrounds is gorgeous, along with Rebecca and Billy also getting a nice visual bump.

    The controls are standard RE fare if you like tank controls use them, there's also an alternate control scheme for people that may struggle with them.

    The gameplay has been (thankfully) untouched since 2002 and still retains the feeling of claustrophobia and dread that it always has. Unlike what some reviewers may have thought, this is a REMASTER, not a REMAKE. So if you had problems with the original release of RE0, you may not still enjoy it. Though if you never played it, but do like the classic RE style I wholeheartedly say go for it. I own it for the GameCube, but wanted to play it again recently, and not it's even more convenient. The game will even take advantage of the Xbox One persistent state of whatever game you're playing. So if you go to the home menu it'll bounce you right to where you left off. This takes some of the edge off of looking to save when you want to take a break, but if you a have frequent interruptions it's a godsend.

    In addtion to RE0, you also get the RE1 "REmake" that was released last year this is a great bonus if you don't own it already in some form because it also is phenomenal.

    Two scares for one low price, pick it up, unless you're a zombie, you won't be disappointed. ;3

    Es bueno salvo algunos pequeños detalles, el principal fallo por el cual no lo califico con 10 es la falta de contenido extra... sin embargoEs bueno salvo algunos pequeños detalles, el principal fallo por el cual no lo califico con 10 es la falta de contenido extra... sin embargo es un título indispensable para cualquiera que se considere fan de la saga.
