Interesting take on Resi 4, as the castle is my favourite bit! Comes to show we all have unique preferences

[@The_RadicalOne]

That's true!

[@TangoWithTheCobra]

I also liked the castle section. Quick time events though, not so much. I bought a GameCube for that game. I had gotten out of gaming for a few years until RE4 brought me back. I did not even mind the escort sections. Plus, Mercenaries was amazing.

[@jsoul1762]

Man I will never forget the first time I played Resident Evil on Sega Saturn in 1997 I was 15 years old and I freaked out like never before. This game is one of my all time favorite and makes Capcom my favorite game maker alongside with the Street Fighter series.

I’ve been waiting for the radical Reggie resident evil tier list. Since we can’t get every game reviewed this is the next best thing. And knowing how big he is into resident evil i know he knows exactly where to put them. Great work! Maybe we can get a final fantasy and star ocean tier list ?

[@BoldMold]

Man, you were so positive with some of those (RE6 and Revelations in particular). Still, good tier list and good opinions!

[@Spitfire77077]

Yes dude I'm so glad you mentioned Outbreaks in a good light. It way waaay ahead of it's time (to its own detriment). But now we can download trackers to see what your team mates have in their inventory and discord or anything else for voice chat. Before you had no idea where they were, they could finish the level and you would have no idea lmao.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Exactly. I love that we have better ways to play these games now. I can’t believe Capcom didn’t add voice chat to either game

Great list of Resident Evil games! I finally succeeded to play through Resident Evil 4. It's been to me like summertime game and I usually have continued next summer where I left in previous summer. There has had been those stuck moments like two giants or what you had in gameplay like Salazar.

[@lordxibalba825]

That Level 857 podcast was a fun episode, I knew with where some of those ended up on the tier list (like RE3 Nemesis) it was bugging you. Glad to see your tier list, and definitely some I still need to play.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Yeah, I was just thinking about it again, and I think I'm going to ask those guys to take that tier list down. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis always should be at the top.

[@ll1844]

Awesome video!! I also think RE1 Remake is the greatest RE game of all time. Regarding RE Dualshock OST, yeah its pretty goofy, but I will say the save them is fire in that game. RE0 was cool at the beginning on the train, but yeah the item management gets old quick. Would be cool if you did tier list videos on other great franchises such as Silent Hill or Final Fantasy.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Remake definitely is up there.

[@Lucas-en3bt]

This is the best video on the internet. Thank you Capcom, thank you Radical Reggie

[@mjdf122]

Radical Reggie I’ve seen all from 1980-Now PS1 Resident Evil 1 2 and 3 are top tier such great games during that time/generation

[@The_RadicalOne]

Yep

[@CykaBlyatAlex]

Solid list. I only disagree about 4 since I think 1-4 is like the most solid back to back mainline titles a franchise can have. But I understand your gripes about it, I'm pretty fond of the castle myself and never had a issue with Ashley though so that helps my on preference. Also you were right Resident Evil 5 was overtaken in sales for a while by Resident Evil 7, 8, and 2 remake. But still in the top 10 best selling Capcom games of all time as listed on their website. But it's strange since they're not counting Resident Evil 4 as a single entity, they count every single port as a individual game in terms of sales unless they released together like the PS3/360 version or PS4/Xbox One versions. But the overall sales for RE4, not including the remake are still behind RE7 and RE2 Remake. Which is wild.

[@lancashirered]

A real gamer does a list

[@ChicagoBulls1984]

I would have put RE4 Wii edition on also for the different control options

[@stikzlevel857]

Lol 😂 love ya reggie! Looking forward to your revised list. Let's see where re3 ends up. It's hard to make a list with six people man!

[@The_RadicalOne]

Nah, it's just hard to do one with Turbo around. Trying to be clever with his crazy choices

[@lindblumpickles3407]

Hell yeah man, the classic trilogy is GOATed. They all deserve to be up there. RE3 is my favorite as well

[@epicon6]

I thought this might trigger me but you have good RE taste ❤ I would rate Zero as top tier though. I want my classic RE games being as challenging as possible and i love the visuals and the puzzles and monsters in it.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Fair enough

[@GarseJanacek]

Pretty good list. As for 6, when you try to make everyone happy, you make no one happy.

I recently picked RE 5 back up, I've been playing the mercenary missions. I had a friend years ago (on a defunct profile) and we had all the characters S or SS rank on every level.

[@MarktheMartian]

Very cool deal Reggie! Agreed most of the mainline games are essential. Especially 1-4

[@Zumii]

Really enjoyed this video, I agree with most of your picks. Kicking off the video and you put the PS1 games all in the top tier, I knew you were gonna nail it. The only things I disagree with is that I still put OG RE4 above the remake.. the gunplay is so crisp in the OG. RE5 I’d put in good, and as for RE6.. I think I’d need a tier worse than bad. Everything else is on point. Love when you talk about resident evil though, you’re definitely a true fan so can respect where you’re ranking these.

[@The_RadicalOne]

Come on, you gotta give Resident Evil 6 some more love

[@Zumii]

@@The_RadicalOne I’m gonna give it another chance, they put a lot of work in to making the game so I don’t want to hate on it.

[@kuruptein]

Great vid reg.. dude I got resident evil 1 as soon as it was out..maybe eve the first game for PS1 I got. But dude I was playing at night in the dark like 9 to 11 yrs old.. scared the shit outta me. Had to sleep in my mom's room lol good stuff

[@The_RadicalOne]

It was my first game as well. I think I still have my save data from my first playthrough

[@xXCigarXx]

I hated.....almost everything about resident evil 6. Beat it co op and me and my friend just started trying to rush everything because it just wasnt enjoyable. I dont remember a single boss from resident evil 6 and I did that playthru less then a year ago.

[@commonsense8909]

Same. I had tried to like it but forced myself to finish it, just for the sake of finishing it lol.

[@zanychelly]

Capcom has a list on their website ranking their most sold games, RE2 PS1 is the most sold RE on the PS1. The current top RE games, by sales: > RE2 Remake, > RE7 > RE Village > RE 5 > RE 6 > RE3 Remake > RE4 Remake (Capcom said it is the fastest selling game in the series)

[@The_RadicalOne]

Nice!

[@JimmyDawson1013]

Revelations 1 and 2 & the darkside Chronicles are my best favorite resident evil games. Claire redfield and jill Valentine are my best favorite characters

[@The_RadicalOne]

Awesome 😎

[@OwtDaftUK]

I loved survivor so I am glad you didn't put it in bad even though id have put it higher. When I first played it I was constantly trying to find a save point wondering why I couldn't find where to save and worrying about getting killed because I didn't know if I'd be put to the start or not and I didn't have internet back then for help and so I ended up finishing it with out any deaths. It's a case of going in to a game blind making it way better. I would have put Code Veronica in Essential personally. Resident Evil Gaiden is the only RE game to be developed in the UK and so I'd bump that up out of pure bias.

[@The_RadicalOne]

We are a rare breed when it comes to that game.

[@64-Bit-Gamer]

I'd put RE Revelations in the Great Tier. Otherwise, yep, agree with your views, and no, Zero is not underrated - the item management system was broken 🧟

[@CheeringOwls]

I agree with your comments about Res Zero, I did not really enjoy it at all.

[@reddyworldwide]

I learned there was a RE title on 3DS watching your videos. I then go out and buy a beaten up -- yet still uncomfortably expensive -- N3DS just so i can try out this RE game and when i saw you demote Revelations from Great to Good I was devastated. But then, you say, "I might change that but for now I'll leave it in the Good column." Great, i think. A glimmer of hope. I'm hanging on every word. C'mon, Reggie. Put it back. Trust your instinct. But you don't... so I'm calling you out. Does the only good RE game on the 3DS deserve to be re-instated to its original and former glory before it's outrageous and unconscionable demotion to merely a Good game? Remember the good times she gave you? The chills in the dark as those haunting sounds hit your ears through your headphones connected to your beloved, trusty old 3DS?

[@casualcadaver]

Iv always enjoyed Revelations more on 3DS than the console or PC port. I seems more atmospheric and scarier somehow.

[@reddyworldwide]

@@casualcadaver i think so too :)

[@bigtone7913]

Collision detection in RE remake is kind of annoying.

[@newgameaaaa]

Interesting. Yeah do more tier list videos. I'm not really into the resident evil games. I have a few and tried them for about an hour each. I'm not a fan of the tank controls. So Resident evil 1-3 are not that appealing. One day I'll get back into them. Not too long ago I played Fear effect 2 which seems similar to the Resident evil style of gameplay. It was okay, but it got really hard in the middle to end of the game. I had to use cheat codes to continue to playing. So If I can use cheat codes in a Resident evil game, then I am more interested.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

RE on Game Com was the GOAT

Give Zero a fair chance and it might become one of your favorite classic REs. It’s so underrated.

[@The_RadicalOne]

@@epicon6 maybe your right.

[@epicon6]

@@The_RadicalOneI’ve played it through around 8 times and love it more every time. At first playthrough it might seem it’s not a polished game bjt once you get into it you won’t find anything wrong with it. Like once the game becomes more familiar carrying the items doesn’t feel bad at all, and the difficulty isn’t too bad even on Hard. Remember to choose Billy for the bigger fights like the infamous bat fight as he has more health, and remember you can walk outside the church mid fight to get more ammo, and if you want an easy time with the tyrant it literally can’t move if you aim up with a grenade launcher and keep shooting till he drops.

I cant understand why they phoned in RE3 remake. Then to skip code V remake for RE4 first bc it would sell better? Sure but 3 wouldve done better too if you tried so.... Capcom should remake it again and call it nemesis or gold edition. Code V is the true 3rd game anyway.

[@tarantinoish]

Your list is similar to my list, but I like Code Veronica a little more than you I think.

[@Royalewithcheesewithlove]

Re4 remake in psvr is def in another category

[@walterwhite7376]

Bruh the original RE is barely playable nowdays. That was pure nostalgia talking, the remake is far superior and very good to this day. RE4 has very clunky controls by today's standards so i can't call it a 10/10. RE2 Remake is the goat in my opinion along with RE Remake. RE2 and RE3 are classics but not for modern audiences so you can't really recommend them to youngsters. REVII revitalised the series and it's memorable for sure. REVIII is a step down from the pure horror of VII.
