[@Name-kk8tq]

@@rpeck2832 The HD port of RE1Remake is a lazy upscale of assets of the Gamecube original with almost nothing changed, so it looks exactly the same as when the Gamecube version came out (just in higher resolution now).

My excuse not to play RE0 is due to the fact that the item box is non existent. I won't play code veronica either. Fixed camera angles and tank controls are two of the things that scare me. I also give the RE1 remake a 6/10. The RE3 remake was above all of them. And yes, I am serious about this. Don't feel threatened just because I have an opinion.

[@pickledparsleyparty]

To me, the worst part of RE3 is how many times Nemesis was in the middle of killing Jill and then just didn't. That's not a good way to be scary with a horrible unkillable monster. He picks her up, then throws her, then points a flamethrower at her for 5 seconds while she runs away. Nemesis picking you up should just be the end of you. Her staying alive has to mean avoiding that situation altogether. Lazy horror writing is what we got.

[@dansmith16]

RENemesis is a dollar store Jack. Just an unkillable monster with none of the charm of the original.

[@pickledparsleyparty]

@@dansmith16 TBH it was weird to me that Jack Baker didn't just kill Ethan outright a bunch of times (he knees you in the gut and then just stands there when he catches you). But at least Jack is a crazy side effect rather than a full on BOW. I can at least head canon that away with "he lacks focus and is a bit of sadist because of all the poison." Nemesis is like building an RPG whose grenade stops in midair and then fires a spring-loaded boxing glove at you before falling to the ground.

[@ParrryHottter]

Nemesis in REmake3 is somehow dumber than the average zombie. At least the zombies try to kill Jill when they get the chance.

[@Texelion3Dprints]

Maybe he's based on the Nemesis from the shitty movie and has feelings for Jill but he's still programmed to kill her, so he just fucks up everything to NOT kill her. Just kidding, he's an annoying simp at best.

What makes the moth corridor in Resident Evil Code Veronica so annoying is that there are infinitely respawning blue herbs in that corridor. So what happens is, the moths lay their eggs, you go through the load zone, they hatch and poison you, you go back through the load zone and heal yourself whereby the moths have probably respawned. It is pointless busywork.

[@chrise229]

@@megamax898 Maybe because... you're wrong?

[@sevenproxies4255]

There is a quite peculiar way to dodge zombies in RE0 that isn't quite as common in the other titles. Basically you need to wait for them to lunge, immediately backstep just one or two steps, anf the zombie will miss. After a zombie has missed to grab you with a lunge, it will be stunned for 1-2 seconds, in which you'll have the time to run past it. Another thing with zombies is the difficulty to eliminate them with a knife. What you need to do is go for their legs. They fall over after getting stabbed two times SOMETIMES after three stabs. You can use lunge dodge to your advantage in this because when they get stunned after a failed lunge you'll usually have time to stab them twice before they lunge again. Although zombies have different walking speeds so this must be taken into account when fighting them in melee.

RE3 Remake being lower than six and seven being lower than five is kinda criminal

[@MetalGear0987]

6 offers over the top coop action. 7 literally revived the series and is the closest to a fps adaption from re 1. re3 remake just took an already existing game, removed content and barely added anything new that wasnt established in the re 2 remake.

@@icessoup All games on the list are for me fun. All mainline are and some spin offs like revelations. 7 Is literally a fps version of re 1. It has exactly the same formula as re 1 except in a smaller scope. Its not a perfect game due to smaller size, weird story. lategame level sucks.

It’s also difficult to rank because so many titles are just fantastic overall. Do I choose the Original’s Remake for being the best survival horror entry overall or do I rank RE2make for enjoying it more? It’s hard as hell man.

[@LordMalice6d9]

​​@sothatsdevintart2562 Probably RE1 remake because it is by all accounts the perfect survival horror game of all time, truly living up to that title. RE2 remake still suffered from the recent REmake curse of having cut content. Though not as bad as RE3 remakes cut content though.

[@thegamingpigeon3216]

Exactly. RE1 thru RE3 are all pretty similar. Then RE4 is almost it's own thing entirely. RE5 is RE4 on steroids (in more ways than one). RE6 is RE5 on steroids and then lathered in a layer of horse shit. RE7 and RE Village are their own thing. The remakes are their own things.

Having RE8 so low is criminal. I like that one almost as much as 4. It even reminds me of 4 with the action sequences. All that 8 really leaves to be disired is the fact it needs more puzzles and a bit less action.

[@sandercohen9712]

Yeah. It's also fresh because it combines traditional fantasy with RE tropes, and this somehow works. Heisenberg and Dimitrescu are show-stealers and imo the more memorable NPCs in the franchise, certainly when it comes to bosses. What 8 did poorly was the Miranda fight and the part you play as Redfield. Some hate the Donna part as well, but I do believe it's mostly because it becomes a chore the third time you have to play it. But the first time and even second time, I thought that was a genuinely good part of the game. 4 overstays its welcome I think. It's just far too long, and the remake has less items to unlock than 8 did.

[@BillyCobbOfficial]

The moment it showed you could hide under the bed when you go get the fuse told me something would chase you, and all tension is lost when walking around a table is enough to get away from it. If it was an option area it would have been fine, but it being a forced section made me hate it more

[@greenymeeny]

@@moongoalie2410 This is blatantly untrue. It refines the OTS gameplay from RE4 and Dead Space and succeeds at making a classic style survival horror game with OTS shooting. Everything about the remake is a massive improvement on the original from level design to sound design to enemy design to bosses and the gameplay loop with the re-introduction of defensive items from RE1 remake and it actually feels tense and scary unlike OG which was the easiest of the PSX trilogy by far. That being said I consider both games about the same level only due to the lack of proper B campaigns. But it's objectively better in pretty much every other aspect except the soundtrack. Zapping system got replaced with window boarding which is much more strategic and fair.

[@JackOfen]

@@greenymeeny It also lacks in enemy variety. The OG had more different enemies. Like, in both RE2 and RE3 the things I wanted to see the most in the remakes were cut. I wanted some really disgusting slimey hallways and rooms for the moth, with maybe some corpses on the wall where the moth larva is eating the bodies. but the Remake just cut it out completely. And with RE3 I really wanted to see Raccoon Park in RE Engine glory, but it doesn't even exist in the remake.

Villains were more over the top than CV and felt more Marvel style in that way. It's not really in the same league as the older titles, though it's certainly not a bad game.

[@dansmith16]

I expected REV to be RE Castlevania, but instead, you get Ethan being shat on by everyone and more Chris. How is it not Castlevania?

[@jamesiron4010]

[@GigglingStoners]

Shouldnt even be on the list, since it's barely a RE game.

[@Al-ji4gd]

I've truly never understood the hate for RE0. Removing the item boxes was a mistake yeah, but the level design and puzzles, both classic and in terms of the buddy system, were great

[@provalone]

Yeah, I have no clue how you can put 5 and 6 above 0. I like the partner mechanic, and found the drop items on ground option a good alternative to Drop means Disintegrated.

[@axt2]

the item box removal was a huge pain, the enemies were boring (mostly animals and insect stuff), the story was like a weird anime, and GOOD LORD WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WITH THE HOOK SHOT

[@depressedcheems9961]

I don't think it's a bad game, it's just overshadowed by every other entry in the series.

[@kilerkane]

I know he said he WASN'T ranking the spinoffs, but he did say that Item dropping never returned since Zero; That's not true, it exist in Revelations, you can just drop items on the ground if you don't want them, and they stay there, I don't recall if it was in One or Two, or both, but I do remember dropping Items in Two.

[@bronzin1445]

I’m convinced people just ironically hate it like Nickelback

[@davidhalstead402]

Would be cool to see a follow up series ranking the side games like Revelations and Dead Aim

[@BadAssMacmillan]

It's crazy how Mikami and his team were responsible for both the greatest third person shooter of all time (OG RE4), and arguably the greatest survival horror game and remake of all time (RE1 remake). Two games with very different design philosophies and yet they both nail everything they set out to do. Capcom Production Studio 4 should've been kept together no matter what and had their genes cloned. Even the guy cleaning the toilets there must've been a genius.

The RE3 remake has issues and was cut down but saying its worse that RE6 is worth fighting over. RE6 damn near killed the franchise.

[@Gobbostopper]

Re6 was that bad they had to essentially soft reboot with 7 to get back to its roots.

[@Henez89]

I think it's fair. RE6 was at least a big swing. RE3make was an easy win that was rushed out the door. Big shame considering the other remakes have kept a high bar.

[@mayorofbagtown9097]

RE6 sold insanely well. I hate the game but it DID NOT almost kill the franchise. That was never gonna happen.

[@henriklarssen1331]

I played through every RE Game (also both Revelation) but the only one i havent finished to this day is RE6, its so bad its not even funny. No a big fan of the RE2+3 Remake overall, but the RE3 Remake had at least a solid pacing and solid gameplay, RE6 is just pure garbage.

[@Drawnartist]

It's just his opinion no worries

[@habadasheryjones]

Bro the og ps1 trilogy is still on ps3 psn for cheap ($10 each or under). Those games are fire and once you spend 10 minutes with the tank controls you'll get into the swing of things quick. Its amazing how they nailed the survivor horror formula with the very first game. Playing RE1 in 2024 it didn't feel dated at all.

[@krakenmckraken9128]

I’ve said it forever and it’s came up with the recent tomb raider remake. Tank controls aren’t dated, they’re a skill issue. The movement contributes to the gameplay, tension, and difficulty in these games.

[@habadasheryjones]

@@krakenmckraken9128 If you practice your movement for like 5 minutes before you go into rooms with enemies its not even a big deal. They even give you a whole room to practice in in the original 1996 RE game. I think all those "I can't do tank controls" people probably haven't tried passed minute or so and gave up (or maybe they got disgruntled playing RE2 original or 3 original which throw you straight into combat from the second they hand you control). Whatever reason people don't like using tank controls it's a shame. You get how to use the them in just one game you'll be comfortable to use them in others. For example I'm playing the Silent Hill series for the first time after playing the og RE trilogy and I didn't even flinch going into SH1's controls.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

I have them on my phone. Tank controls work really well on a touch screen tbh.

[@ininja32]

I would like to thank you for your list, and I have to say the remake RE1 save room music sounds beautiful. Makes me want to listen to it for 3 hours and enjoy some coffee. You know.... I am going to that right now.

[@JasonLopezII]

Chris' campaign in 6 was the closest for RE going full Call of Duty yet in Village they took it a step further with Chris' section going full Task Force 141 mode to the point where I'm surprised Chris didn't say "Bravo Six, Goin Dark"

I get your point about RE3make but I’d rather play it than many games you put above it. It fails as a remake but as a game, it’s pretty damn fun! Village should be higher on the list too!

[@muccmaster]

Village would be fun to replay if it weren't for the awful factory area that is way too long and tedious. The game has too much padding similar to RE4make. So you can choose to ignore it and be significantly weaker or slog through the needless side content. RE3make is damn good fun even with all the stuff they cut and how bad they messed up Nemesis.

[@whocares8269]

@@muccmasterDid 3 playthrough already, factory was alright for me, house of Beneviento on the other hand is really good only for fist time then not so much.

[@shanegale6143]

After buying a super expensive QD-OLED hdr monitor and replaying all the RE engine era games , the only truly visually impressive games were village and r3make lol. They were probably just still figuring out the engine with RE2make - and you can tell they kind of rushed RE4make. so many assets were reused and outside of a few rooms you can tell they just didnt have the time to really nail down a solid art direction, probably why some detractors call it "soulless"

3make has such good replayability and its short run time make it a constant quick replay for me on a bad day. It ain't great but it was a poor man's RE4 remake mechanically and its all I needed.

[@Cowslippoetry]

I'd switch 0 and 6. 0 is flawed but still classic RE, 6 I played once in LAN co-op and we both agreed never to touch it again. It was painfully sub-average.

While he does preface the ranking with a message that these numbered titles aren't entirely 'bad', I'm certain there is a magnitude of players who will disagree that RE3make is a worse Resident Evil experience than the bloated scheisse that is RE6 - "the closest that RE ever came to CoD" - which prompted the reboot of the series.

43:43 Its not just nostalgia! I played through it with my cat in november last year. I had a great time with it and I appreciate it alot for what it is. Of course with the remake being my favourite game of all time I loved seeing where it all started and how much they got right from the start and it made me love the remake as well as RE2 even more seeing how much they improved upon that first title. That double headshot I got in one of the second floor hallways is honestly one of my most satisfying gaming moments. It even managed to scare me a tiny bit when that hunter came jumping out from off screen from that area that leads to the tiger statue. There’s something so special to experiencing an old game like that. Multiple times through my playthrough I thought about how people playing it ik 1996 must have shit themselves playing this
