Resident Evil

Good game and a well done remaster. Chris's play through was a lot of fun and he's a decently well written character unlike Jill. Not sure why Capcom made Jill such an airhead but it annoys the crap out of me that it's so damn obvious that she is being deceived and yet she question a single f*cking thing! It's like she doesn't have a personality or those gears in her head aren't quite spinning right. Other than that I had a good time.
PS: DON'T FOLLOW THE IGN WALK THROUGH, IT IS TERRIBLE!!

Resident Evil now featuring Jill before RE3make turned her into the most insufferable version of Jill the fanbase has ever seen. Just play this instead of RE3 and you will thank yourself when you are done.
10 tank controls out of 10.

in all seriousness though this is the best version of Jill and its upsetting to see what RE3make did to Jill :(

Great remake of an all time classic. I remember playing this the month it first came out. The remake is an awesome update maintaining the original feel. I can't believe it has taken me this long to play the remake.
For RE fans this is a must play!

I really like this game and definitely recommend playing it. The camera angles take a little bit to get used to, but other than that it is a slay.

Playing this for the first time is such a surreal experience. The scares aren't cheap fnaf jumpscares. The music in this game will make you tense up and adds so much immersion. You will definitely get lost trying to figure what to do next as this game does not hold your hand and expects you to figure out the puzzles. There are hints on where to go but you have to pay attention to the files you read. Either way don't feel discouraged if you have to look up a walkthrough, they did make strategy guides for these games. Even just exploring the mansion feels satisfying because you're rewarded for doing so. The fixed camera angles and tank controls do get frustrating to learn at first but you eventually adjust to it. This game is a classic and everyone should complete the story at least once.

Clunky game, good story. Watch a video on the lore unless you like fixed camera angles and tank controls

If you played and loved RE 1 for Play Station then you can't miss this remake. It's better in every way that you would want as it's in HD. It has the very familiar 3rd party camera angles coupled with Steams graphic engines makes for a very real and scary run through the mansion. The developers out did themselves on the fright factor. All I can say is save often and avoid becoming a Jill sandwhich.

Liked this a lot more than I thought. Very "charming", very difficult and very fun. Voice acting is kind of lame. Other aspects near perfection. 10/10

Game is really good and a classic, and Jill is hot so that's a plus too.

I bought a GameCube JUST FOR THIS GAME and it was worth every single penny! It was Amazing back then and its still Amazing now! 10/10

Only gets so much praise because of nostalgia. It really is a bad game that feels like it was made to sell guide books before guides became free on the internet. I hate games that require an external guide or walkthrough to progress and unfortunately this is one of those games.


***EDIT***

After attempting to play through it more to at least get my money's worth, I can confidently say with my whole heart, that this game is mega doodoo trash. I guess it was acceptable when it came out due to lack of competition in the genre. It is really just boring as shit to play. Nostalgia is the only reason this game is relevant anymore.

This is not just a landmark Resident Evil Game Its Also the pinnacle of Remakes this game is everything a Remake should aspire to be it takes mostly if not everything from the original and expands and improves upon it. This game is one of the best in the franchise and should be played by everyone that can manage to I understand some are unable to get the hang of the fixed camera angles and the lack of hand holding of he game but i would highly advise everyone not just resident evil fans to give this game a try i would suggest if you are using mouse and keyboard to use the original tank controls it make movement far smoother.

This game doesn't completely replace Resident Evil (1996) like so many YouTubers say it does. There are things that game did better, like how the naked zombies in the lab were scarier because of that moan and the fact that they kept getting back up. Instead, this remake compliments the original, which is what a remake should do. Unlike the remakes of 2 and 3, which seek to replace their source material, this game is a new way for Resident Evil fans to experience a beloved classic. It subverts your expectations from having played the original, because it's meant to be played after you played the original. The original Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3 from the 90s are available on GOG for PC, and you should definitely play them instead of just the remakes here on Steam. But definitely play this remake.

It's pretty nice to finally have the opportunity to play this exclusive game launched to game cube decades ago. The original Resident Evil (1996) was the first survival-horror game I played when I was 7 years old. I'm playing on Linux through proton, I had some issues using nvidia video cards and CG videos, but it's working with Linux+intel ok. Somehow the game on Linux using my nvidia card only works using Proton 7.X. I would like to know how to fix, but even searching online on protondb the people suggestions didn't work for me on my machine.

Thanks to the fixed camera angle, this game is pretty much unplayable. And you never know where next to go or what to do. Very outdated, and no I'm not just modern. Also, the story and lore is so fucking complicated, confusing and keeps me overthinking at night. Had to watch a summary video cuz this game is shit.

It's fascinating how the template to some of the best survival horror gameplay is just right here, fully accessible in a no-issues PC port, and yet nobody in the industry can replicate it. Not a dozen indie games, not AAA games, not Capcom themselves. Well if this doesn't sell, then why don't you de-list it, Crapcom? Just keep RE4 up, delist this game. Go on. Nobody wants more of this, that's why you REMADE it and then remastered the remake. Right?

Morons.

Good remaster, though it changed a lot from the og and I didn't like much, the graphics though is amazing.

A quick spoiler on how the game works: You have this mansion to explore, there you'll find a crest to open a door to open a painting to open another door to another painting, but then you gotta go back to the first door because you forgot the crest, by then it's not resident evil anymore, it becomes Dino Crisis.

A great game with poor quality-of-life features.

The fixed camera angles, inability to drop items, rigid aiming mechanics, and lengthy door-opening animations in older games were "limitations" imposed by the technological constraints of their time. These features don't inherently hold nostalgic or classic value. If the developers from that era had any choices of getting modern technologies, I am sure that they would choose to fix these. So, instead of blindly praising these issues for their "classic" status, it’s important to critically evaluate them and acknowledge their shortcomings rather than excusing them simply because they’re part of an older era.

world's first crank type game, excellent crank gameplay for real crankers only

this game made me sick with all the perspective changes and odd controls.

it feels lik,e this game is running on a potato with how slow everything is moving and that the audio and video dont match

basically unplayable on low end pc's the graphics are locked at a certain rate, so if you cant handle it, sorry your frame rate is gonna drop to about 5 frames per second, enjoy playing in slow motion

Where the legend all started...

Still an absolute fantastic game.

The dialogue is cheesy, but in my opinion it adds to the charm - like your favorite old zombie movie.

The game is still frightening even years later - those jump scares will get ya!

Resident Evil / Biohazard is a gift that keeps on giving

damn, this game is so ridiculously cheesy that i couldn't help but laugh out loud at times. and it’s so strange because the plot is genuinely awesome. you know, the rescue operation goes awry, the team gets dragged into a decrepit mansion full of dark secrets, and one of them is a traitor. how cool is that, huh? but some of the script delivery had me cackling. honestly, it’s so corny that they should’ve kept the Jill sandwich line intact.

the game is amazing, though. sure, it looks like crap outdated, but the gameplay still holds up, it’s really tightly balanced. the backtracking isn’t annoying at all, and progression feels rewarding. plus, when the game tells you to HURRY to save a teammate, it means it. there’s no room for Shepard’s weird dances in Omega nightclubs, while Earth is literally dying.

neat stuff. it even made me buy Resident Evil 0. not sure if I’ll play it now, but someday i definitely will.

The kind of games that you have to play with a hazmat suit on. Do yourself a favor and dont touch anything released before 2005, you lunatic freak.

use door animation mod to skip all door animation. thank me later.

8/10

It's a great remaster of a great remake of a great game. Just got all the achievements, which was super fun!

The only true horror of this game is the psychological one you get from all the dumb backtracking and puzzles which you somehow need to have godtier mega knowledge of and they don't even make sense. This is a game that was probably good for its time but was limited to what it could based on hardware so to make it longer, like many other games of its time, they made an insane amount of stupid puzzles just to "lengthen" the game.

Just watch the recap on RE0 and RE1 on youtube, trust me, it's not worth your patience.

dogs kill in 2 hits on normal, lack of defense items around the mansion, the ink ribbon is idiotic i shouldn't need an item to save especially if i cant save anywhere at anytime. the amount of inventory space you have vs the amount you need makes the mansion trek back and forth almost unbearable considering how tiring it is and the door loading screen is ridiculous. i don't need to see a door slowly open every single time i take one it makes me not want to take one.

Worthwhile playing although a bit of an adjustment to adapt to the older style of game. I generally enjoyed it, but found the camera angles annoying at times and found the story to be a bit jarring. (I finished the game in a little under 10h as Jill however ended up with 15h as my first playthrough got broken when an essential item vanished.) Over all I am glad that I played this as I now have a better comprehension of the start of this franchise, and it will give me a basis for comparison when Capcom (hopefully) publishes a remake of this!

i like to be getting scareded

for this game i also like hot woman jill she is like how i felt as lil girl growin up, but coooooler

chris redfield im like ok sure

wesker is OOOOO

barry is lol

what else can you want from a video game team?

I'm not into survival horror or just horror games in general but after playing RE8 and the DLC I was recommended to play more. I picked it up on sale and finished it in 2 days! I had to use a guide for some things especially if I got stuck and what I was doing wasn't working. I'm happy a gave it a chance and am excited to play more of the series!

As an avid lover of the original, they did a great job with this remake. I honestly think Capcom did a great job with most of the remakes---keeping the pieces that made the games great while adding just a bit more. I also like that this is a game that you can finish in a single sitting if you wanted to. My only complaint was that they made Jill to be a little less of a badass--like how many times does one person walk backwards and fall in a game? Come on. Or her lack of expression as her teammate is being ripped to shreds by dogs. I mean the OG opening was cheesy, sure, but there was more expression and fear expressed to me.

It's annoying that more people have played this version than that of the 1996 game with the same name, or even the Gamecube version of this remake. I do however like how it expands areas and often puzzles, changing the way the mansion can be traversed (linking the main hall to the U shaped puzzle room inhabited by ravens via the cemetery is convenient), though I dislike the muted colors over the 1996 game's vivid reds and yellows, and am not at all impressed with the "HD" textures compared to Resident Evil on Gamecube.

The writing and voice acting in Resident Evil is as schlock as Resident Evil, except it has an even more serious tone which makes it even more corny, but I like it in both games.

My favorite thing about this game is the foley sound effects for walking on carpet over wood floors. It's just so palpable and adds to the atmosphere of exploring an old mansion that probably smells like mildew in a few places.

Resident Evil HD Remastered faithfully preserves the core experience of the original game while updating its visuals and controls for modern audiences. It's a must-play for anyone who loves survival horror and wants to experience one of the genre's defining titles.

Story: You take on the roles of S.T.A.R.S. members Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, tasked with investigating a series of gruesome murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The investigation leads you to a creepy mansion where things quickly spiral into chaos. Unraveling the dark secrets of the mansion, you encounter zombies, mutated creatures, and sinister bio-experiments gone horribly wrong. The story is filled with twists and keeps you on edge as you discover more about the infamous Umbrella Corporation.


• Atmosphere: The eerie corridors, the constant tension of not knowing what's around the corner, and the brilliant use of lightning and shadows create a creepy, immersive environment.

• Controls & Gameplay: While the tank controls might take some time getting use to, they add to the nostalgic charm. For those who prefer a more modern experience, the alternative control scheme is a welcome addition, but the original controls are still available for that classic feel.

• Difficulty & Puzzles: The game strikes a great balance with its difficulty. Resource management and puzzle-solving keep the tension high throughout. Every corner you turn feels like a gamble, and the satisfaction of solving the mansion's legendary puzzles is still just as rewarding.

• Graphics & Sound: The visual upgrades are outstanding. The remastered version captures the dark, haunting atmosphere of the Spencer Mansion beautifully. The sound design and music perfectly complement the setting, pulling you deeper into the game's world.

While this remaster does justice to the original, I can't help but feel that Resident Evil HD deserves a full remake treatment, just like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. A remake could elevate this masterpiece to new heights while keeping the soul of the game intact.

If you're a fan of classic Resident Evil or survival horror, this is a must-have in your collection!

Loads of enemies and almost no bullets to be found. You are left with a knife to slowly and painfully die to the next enemy or dog jumping through a window. Not to mention clunky controls. And the fact that you only have 6 slots to carry items... Neither fun nor interesting, I am guessing nostalgia carried this remake?

An amazing remaster of a survival horror classic. From the beautiful atmosphere to the nostalgic controls RE Remaster is still one of my favorite games of all time. I would still 100% recommend this to anyone interested in survival horror and cheesy dialogue.

The golden standard of how Remakes/Remasters should be made.

No content outright removed , no removing atmosphere just to make it look prettier , accessibility options added , cut content restored and added into the game aswell as new content and evolved mechanics.

It differs from the original but in the best way possible , no retcons , no story change , just more polish and a true modernization , keeping everything that made the original great while adding new stuff for new players and returning ones alike.

This makes it the most true to vision Resident Evil ever existed .

This Resident Evil is the most Resident Evil out of all the Resident Evils.
I rate Resident Evil/Resident Evil.

Challenging but good fun. The multiple endings makes it more re-playable too.
Make sure you save Rebecca if you choose to play as Chris!

Game crashes and kicks me out randomly so I have to start again from scratch.

Tossing fights like yellow rain,
Hear the sounds of mass hysteria,
Tortured by this hurricane,
Where the suicide's way too easy now!
Bioweapons brings the death,
You played with mass destruction,
But a million zombies won't forget,
When they come your way, there is no turning back!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, gonna find you—
Tortured victims taking souls for venue
GIVE—IT-- UP!

Welcome to zero ground!
This time has no forgiveness!
Umbrella, you go down!
While all of us are living.
YES, shut up and suppression—
Cause we're the ones who will survive 'til the end!
Umbrella, you go down

The innocent must take control,
For the planet, for their future,
The bioweapons take their toll,
As the camera crews wreak havoc in the air!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, gonna slay you!
Tortured soldiers cut you down, your brethren.
JILL, LEAVE NOW!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, gonna find you.
Talk to victims cut your soul with a venture new.
CAN’T TURN BACK!

GIVE—IT-- UP!

Welcome to zero ground!
This time is no forgiveness!
Umbrella, you go down!
While all of us are living.
Welcome to battle ground!
We give you no forgiveness!
This, your crucifixion!

YES, you’re all so precious!
Cause we’re the ones who will survive 'til the end!
Umbrella, you must go down!

+ Runs on toaster
- Issues with full screen
+ Graphics hold up
- Compressed(?) audio
+ Best-in-genre atmosphere
- Somewhat cryptic gameplay, use a guide if you value your time

Everything is good about this game except for one thing. There is no way to make it full screen.

A wonderful remake of the original 1996 classic. There are quite some differences from gameplay to story. However It is a wonderful play through. I'd give this remake a 9/10. However personally, the 1996 classic will always hold a special place in my heart. I will say though certain mechanics in the remake I'm not super happy with, the excessiveness of crimson heads is rather annoying, they weren't even featured in the 1996 original. While adding a new flavor to the classic enemies, it just felt like too much.

kinda aged badly, with the security camera angles, the controls are weird, and the acting is cringe, but its cool, a different experience from the remakes.

มันปรับตัวยากไปสักหน่อยสำหรับคนยุคนี้ แต่ถ้าคุณทนเล่นได้ คุณจะเข้าใจว่าทำไมเขาถึงเรียกมันว่าเป็นตำนาน

A classic revamped with HD visuals, featuring plenty of backtracking and challenging puzzles for "modern audiences." However, those seeking a true survival horror challenge will feel right at home.

just a couple messy thoughts: feeling very strongly that survival horror could be the supplement to my 3d platformer obsession in this medium, both prying at something fundamental to my appreciation of games for Purest Texture Possible...in 3d platformers its space and shape, in survival horror its decisions and pulling an emotional reaction out of cold numbers. a near perfect study in being nearly 100% making decisions, and something like 85% capable of making u Feel Anxious And Unsure ab those decisions. the fact that it allows anything remaining is impressive...there are a couple moments of genuine power fantasy here, perhaps one of the more subtle parts of the obviously immaculate pacing, which always finds surprising ways to break itself up while never granting u so much release it breaks the momentum. more than most games i play, its a game u learn to Speak...bits of vocabulary and grammar learned thru brute force, asked to navigate harrowing but deeply rewarding conversations. one of the most rewarding games to interact with in general ive played in a while. the layout of spencer mansion will live in my heart forever.

if anyone asks "whats the ultimate survival horror experience" this is it. resident evil (2015) remaster is the peak survival horror experience and nothing comes even close to it.

A little finicky with tabbing out of the game, and kind of funny the difficulty selection is Very Easy/Easy/Normal instead of Easy/Normal/Hard right off the bat, but damn what a good game.
