Hello Era.
In light of the franchise's 25th anniversary and the upcoming RE Showcase, with the possible announcement of Village for Summer-ish release and maybe another new game or two being announced, I am planning to start an entire franchise-wide replay of the game(s) which got me into video gaming as a whole. To make things convenient, I will play the games in release order, not chronologically, and if a better re-release of a version exists and I have access to it, play that instead of the vanilla release, and will periodically update this thread after beating a game with brief impressions and how it has held up in 2021. Some of these I haven't played in around a decade or so, so they will be a good refresh for me as well.
Anyone else planning something similar ?
We're looking at the following:
- Resident Evil 1 Directors Cut (PSX)
- Resident Evil 2 (Gamecube via Dolphin and the RE HD Seamless mods)
- Resident Evil 3 (same as above)
- Resident Evil Survivor (PSX)
- Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (PS3 HD re-release)
- Resident Evil Survivor 2 (PS2)
- Resident Evil Gaiden (Skip cause this is non-canon, may YT story specific scenes)
- Resident Evil Remake (HD Remaster)
- Resident Evil Zero (HD Remaster)
- Resident Evil: Dead Aim (PS2)
- Resident Evil Outbreak File 1 and 2 (PS2)
- Resident Evil 4 (PS4)
- Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (PS3)
- Resident Evil 5 (PS4)
- Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles (PS3)
- Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D (skipping)
- Resident Evil: Revelations (HD Re-release)
- Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (fucking skip)
- Resident Evil 6 (PS4)
- Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (PS4)
- Umbrella Corps (fuuuuuuuuuckin skip)
- Resident Evil 7 (PS4 or XB Series X on Game Pass)
- Resident Evil 2 Remake (PC)
- Resident Evil 3 Remake (PC or PS4)
And then there are the CGI movies (not the live action ones) which are canon too apparently.
- Resident Evil Degeneration (set between RE4 and RE5)
- Resident Evil Damnation (prequel to RE6)
- Resident Evil Vendetta (set between RE6 and 7 apparently)
