I adore resident evil. Most mainline games in the series hold a special place in my heart, from the originals through all the remakes.
However none hold a more special place to me than re4. I’m obviously not alone in adoring this game but dang, it’s really just so fucking good. Every friend I’ve been able to convince to play in the present day has been shocked at how well it holds up today. Sure the controls are kinda weird (they truly are just the tank controls of the OG’s but from an over the shoulder perspective), but it honestly works for the game. With the Re4hd mod that was in the works for many years finally out, the game looks great today too.
Re4 was my favorite game of all time, and while I was excited for the remake, I didn’t really think the game had any shot at dethroning the original. But god damn it did. Somehow the remake surpassed my sky high expectations. It’s just really damn good. It somehow brings a 2 decade old game that aged majestically into the modern era even better. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the original and I still plan on playing it, but the remake is just superb. I couldn’t be more happy that I get two ridiculously amazing versions of my all time favorite.
So yeah. Play re4. Game slaps. Also the other games are amazing. Except 6, i know some enjoy it, but it’s one of my personal most disliked games
Rem4 has the energy of a movie that was made because James Cameron walked into Capcom main offices, met with the presidents, stood in front of a whiteboard and wrote “Resident Evil$” making sure the s was notably a big red dollar sign $. Everyone applauded and then they made whatever the hell they wanted.
and I love that about it.
(Note: this is basically how we got the move Aliens 1986)
Only resident Evil game I have played is RE2 (remake/new one) I loved it got all achievements in it. Currently planning to do RE3 this October because spooky Halloween.
I’ve only played the VR versions but they are the best VR experiences I’ve had so far.
i tried to play the original about a decade ago and my partner at the time had to dodge me throwing the controller when the dogs jumped through the window. that’s when i knew i wasn’t cut out for playing horror games. (although i enjoy watching other people play them!)
I’ve played a bit of the original Resident Evil emulated on ps5. I really like the camp and the atmosphere, but it required a bit to much focus from me to proceed further in the game. I felt it became a bit difficult to know where to go and memorize the locations and puzzles.
I’ve bought Resident Evil HD on steam, so I’ll try it again soon in the remaster.
My co-op buddy and I also just started RE5. I know it was made in another time, but it’s quite hilarious how problematic a lot of it is. So we’re just laughing at all the obvious stereotypes and enjoying the gameplay. We first tried on hard but it became to frustrating very quickly, so we started again on normal difficulty.
Oh yeah I played a ton of re5 coop back in the day. Eventually you can unlock the “professional” difficulty and it’s wild. Basically 1 shot deaths and the revive meter goes down in less than a second. You have to be right next to your partner at all times if you want to be able to revive them before it’s game over…
Still pushed through it and beat it though 😂

I know this is a games community, but I still feel like I also need to mention the movies. I saw all of them recently with some friends.
Resident Evil -> average B movie, not that special
Resident Evil Apocalypse -> holy shit this is becoming cool and over the top
Resident Evil Extinction -> the absolute best over the top idiotic movie I’ve seen in my life, I love it so much
Resident Evil Afterlife -> really quite boring and a big step down from the masterpiece that was Extinction
Resident Evil Retribution -> cool action flick, but nothing tremendous really happens in this movie
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter -> beautifully stupid and ridiculous conclusion that desperately tries to invent some overarching plot <3
What is the story on all the porn shorts attributed to RE?
sauce?
I liked 4 the best. The original 3 were too difficult for me; I much preferred parasite Eve compared to them.
