Resident Evil: 15 Years Later

Back in the 90s, I took Resident Evil very seriously. I loved the claustrophobic environments, the puzzle and exploration aspects, and, of course, the zombies. With Halloween rapidly approaching, and the release of Operation Raccoon City just a few months away, it seemed like as good time as any to head back to Raccoon City and revisit the title that kicked off one of gaming's longest-running horror franchises. So I downloaded Resident Evil: Director's Cut from PlayStation Network and reintroduced myself to an old friend.

Resident evil died with the ps1.

Agreed. 1-3 were the best IMO, 2 being my personal favorite.

Resident Evil Zero was the shit, same with the GC remake of the first game.

Anyone who says that any Resident Evil game before Resident Evil 4 is the best is a complete idiot.

Resident Evil 4 > Any other Resident Evil game

YOU are an idiot

[FFXNo1]

You are the idiot and I bet you haven't played the first 3 games. How old are you??

Real gamers know that RE2 is the best.

I agree 100% although Code veronica was pretty good, RE 1-3 were my favorite. I just recently played them again on my PSP and i still love them.

RE 2 is my favorite also. I liked that you could play it four times, 2 times with each character, and see more of the story each time.

I just played RE1, RE2, RE3, and RE 4 and I think the first 3 are better than 4 still even after all these years. And they are all much better than 5, meh.

Although Resident Evil 2 is the best classic survival horror by far, I have to say that RE4 is a better game, even more so if it's the Wii Version.

I never really liked RE3. I think that Nemesis ruined the game for me. He wasn't scary, he was just annoying. But Code Veronica (which should be the numbered sequel instead of RE3) is really good. Not better-than-RE2 good, but almost there.
