"Resident Evil certainly has its classics, and if you were to ask a Resident Evil fan to choose a favorite, odds are, they would either choose the first or the second due to one of those likely being their first experience with the series and nostalgia being one hell of a drug. With those love goggles removed however, it’s clear to see that Resident Evil 3 is unfairly overshadowed and left out of conversations about Resident Evil’s most important entries. RE 3 took the superior characters and story of the first game, the superior gameplay elements of the second game, tweaked them both, and added in a few ideas of its own to form arguably the best iteration in the series up to that point. It’s not only a third game that stands alongside its predecessors, but it exceeds them on multiple fronts while also performing some necessary experiments that would ultimately provide priceless guidance for future games like Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 to benefit from several more years down the road. It is unquestionably one of the best games in the series, an extremely important entry for the survival horror genre, and without a doubt, one hell of a game."
The modern entertainment industry has witnessed the rise of the Resident Evil franchise as one of its most renowned and celebrated multimedia phenomena. With numerous video games released across multiple platforms, it can be daunting for newcomers to determine where to commence their journey. So here is every main mainline Resident Evil Games ranked.
In preparation for the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake, let’s take the liberty to rank each of the mainline story instalments, providing players with a fundamental comprehension of the Resident Evil universe.
You'll need to own a copy of the original of course but the mod is free.
From Xfire: "The Resident Evil franchise is back, perhaps better than ever, with critics and audiences alike singing nothing but praises for the latest mainline installment, Resident Evil Village. Naturally, the latest Resident Evil game brings even more nightmare-inducing moments to the tally, adding werewolves and nine-foot-six tall vampires to the mix."
RE1's first zombie encounter was definitely creepy in its own right, but it was the Cerberuses that jump through the hallway windows that gave most people a fright. You didn't know what to expect at that point, as nowhere felt safe. Furthermore, not only does the back of the game box mention (let alone show) zombies, but the official strategy guide prominently featured a zombie on the cover as well. It wasn't a secret.
Everything else is on point though.
I agree, you knew something was going to happen with the window. I kept walking past and nothing, so I let my guard down thinking I was paranoid.
RE8 had some scary moments. Most of the moments are when you don't know how to survive, like the fetus. There is one aspect that scared me more and it is a spoiler.
Okay, here is a puzzle that Capcom did perfect. You go on into this wooden shed. There is a table with a piece of paper on top and a safe on the bottom. The safe needs a 6-digit code to open. The paper says "look out the window... you grip about looking out the window. When you look, the code is across the buildings. They made you think something would scare you. So you try lining up the code and then this lycon pops up howling! Haha, I shit my pants. That was terrifying and one of the best scares I have ever had.
It was an actual survival horror game and not an action 3rd person shooter
For me the main problem of Resident Evil 3 is that it was born as a quick spin off, and the feeling was there even when they made it longer to justify being a numbered sequel.
It was just too similar to 2, from graphics to locations and even gameplay (especially if you don't count the badly implemented dodge function). Even its biggest characteristic, that was Nemesis, wasn't much different from Mr. X. Even Capcom itself has been trying to make it more unique, first in RE: Umbrella Chronicles, where RE3 segment was almost completely made of new stuff, and now in the remake, where Capcom said it will be more different than the original game than 2's remake was.
Nemesis he kept the tension up the entire game especially with his theme mixed with that voice.
