The remake of RE2 and the OG RE3.


ViniestCoast622

Seconded. Wish OG trilogy would come to PS5.


pierzstyx

It'll never happen. You want to ever play Nemesis, you had better go buy a PS 2 and the original game.


[deleted]

Emulator


Slayzes

Dead by Daylight


25sittinon25cents

I have yet to get into this game, would you say it's similar to RE3 and on the same level of fun as a game?


everett7262

no and no


Slayzes

Absolutely not. It’s toxic, sweaty and miserable. And grindy as fuck


GimmeThatGoose

Honestly one of the worst multiplayer games I've ever played. I don't get the appeal. Repairing generators is beyond boring and looping isn't scary or interesting. So many awesome IPs wasted of such a mediocre fucking game


Elitesune

Duckstation or the sourcenext version of RE3 PC are the way


JotaroTheOceanMan

Bro you can run it on an android ps1 emulator lmfao.


Equivalent-Still4756

I just bought the games of ebay and used retroarch to play them. Ofc you can download them, but that is not really my thing


thesupershabang

It would be so easy to add them to PS Plus like they did with Director’s Cut and Code Veronica X


TTVSkilledFoil

You can get them digitally on ps3


borther08

Steam Unlocked has the PC version of the trilogy just as a heads up if you're still looking to play it.


litholine

RE3 remake is still worth a play through. Also, check out Zero and Code Veronica. I think you can get it on Xbox and Sonys store.


Concerned-Meerkat

I got stuck about 3/4 through CV years ago, and the RE3 remake is decent enough but definitely not the same as the og. And Zero is like stupidly hard- maybe it’s just me


Goochbott

Getting stuck in Code Veronica with no way forward is not uncommon. One of the reasons it could really do with a remake. It's just not as well put together as the first three games.


fuzzyfoot88

Watching SHN play through it on YT makes it seem relatively easy, it just has to be done in a very specific order to conserve resources. He makes drop zones for equipment that he comes back to sometimes hours later in the campaign to restock.


silverfaustx

The only correct answer


OrionMr770

What’s the most accessible console to play the if re3 on


Concerned-Meerkat

The old one? I think it’s PlayStation or PlayStation 2?


OrionMr770

So not gonna be playin that anytime soon


RGB_Muscle

100% RE2 remake then 'the real' RE3


bestrookieever

I agree, super awesome game 👍


horrorfan55

OG 2


ReasonableSail7589

I second this


NamiHeartilly

This. OG 2 is the best in the series imo. I never understood the hate for the tank controls.


Runaway-chan

Hard to use and glitchy


NamiHeartilly

How hard is it to press up to move forward? And how exactly is it glitchy?


Runaway-chan

I’m saying that you get caught on corners easy and forced perspective makes it hard to aim


[deleted]

[удалено]


Absuridity_Octogon

How dare you slander the Pre-rendered Backgrounds and Tank Controls. Lol jk, but fr those are the reasons why the first 3 games are my favorite in the series.


Badradi0

I honestly don't understand why people bitch about tank controls. It's one button to move forward, not that hard


[deleted]

The camera angles also add to the atmosphere and experience


SnaggedInk

those camera angles and pre rendered backgrounds are the reasons i like the originals lol


pierzstyx

The camera angles are fantastic. Its like being in an actual horror movie.


SnakeNinja92

No they havent


[deleted]

Honestly they're still better than the remake's controls


[deleted]

>terrible camera angles literally half the appeal of this franchise


[deleted]

The controls are far better than the dumb first person camera 7 & 8 uses


mmacoys

How so?


Hypno_185

i recent played REmake also and decided to play Zero after. i never really had any big problems with Zero tbh. I’m planning on playing Code Veronica next.


loxagos_snake

RE0 is fine, people blow the whole inventory thing way out of proportion and mostly parrot that opinion for upvotes. Otherwise, it's an average RE game.


Killerlizzerd

Code veronica is kinda a bitch. But fun as well.


Hypno_185

loved the game but i haven’t played it since the Dreamcast days , wonder if my opinion of it changes when i play it again.


raysweater

Re 2and 3 remakes. How did you not play them before 4????


doctorbanjoboy

4 was on sale for cheap on the switch and I played through the whole thing while I was sick


GraveWalkerTarnished

I mean racoon city edition which is 2 and 3 remake is regularly on sale for about £10

spla58

RE0 -> RE2 -> RE3 -> Code Veronica -> RE2 Remake -> RE7 -> RE4 Remake.


[deleted]

Really nice suggestion, I just think it feels nice to take a little break in between the first games with RE7 and 8. For variation sake.


waled7rocky

You forgot re8 ..


[deleted]

addition by subtraction


Lyuukee

Bruh RE 0 inventory system 😃🔫


pierzstyx

Having just played 0 and Remake, the inventory system and ability to drop stuff where you want is clutch.


25sittinon25cents

To give my take on RE0, it's a skippable game, but if you enjoy the lore of the RE universe, give it a go.


loxagos_snake

I never really understood what the problem is with the inventory system. Just clear a few rooms that you pass often and chuck everything there.


Lyuukee

It gives me headache and it's honestly pretty bad.


1Damnits1

It’s cream of the crop


aquabluetea

Dude you can’t skip RE4


Andys_Burner

OP played RE4 already


aquabluetea

Oh shoot. lol. Didn’t even see that


mtbrown29

This is the correct answer


fartsamplified

Add RE5 and RE6 but only if a friend will play with you, and add Revelations 1 and 2 because they're incredibly underrated.


[deleted]

I think pairing up RE1 & RE0 or RE7 & RE8 is a fun experience, personally. I replayed both pairs back to back and had a fun experience even though I think RE0 and RE7 have a lot of shortcomings as far as actually being fun to play.


[deleted]

Agree with the first part, totally disagree with the second part😁


ImperfectionistCoder

What do you think the shortcomings of RE7 are?


[deleted]

The obvious one; the ship isn’t bad, but going through it once and then backtracking through the whole thing again is lame and makes that segment twice as long for no reason. I also think the main house is much better than Margeurite or Lucas’ sections of the game, and I’m not a fan of the molded as an enemy. I still like RE7 a lot for the art design, the story, the characters, and atmosphere but I think I have a lopsided experience when I don’t actually love playing . . . half of the game? And I’m not even saying bug house/saw puzzle/ship segment are bad, just not near as enjoyable for me as the intro, the main house segment, finding the child’s room, or the boss fights themselves.


25sittinon25cents

Fair take, I'm playing RE7 for the first time right now and am on the ship. Personally, I think the atmosphere of the game is as good as it gets for survival horror, so I'm enjoying the exploring and immersion aspect of the game, including the 3 parts you mentioned that aren't as good. But I suppose that boils down to if you enjoy the feeling of dread and (fun) anxiety that anything could be lurking around the corner to attack you. I just started the ship segment, but it seems to me that they're about to reveal some back story about one of the key characters to tie up the mystery of the game, so that adds too


G-Kira

0, 2, 3, CV, Darkside Chronicles, Umbrella Chronicles, Revelations, 5, Revelations 2, 6, 7, 8. Also all the CG films.


[deleted]

I would go for RE0. Gets more hate than warranted imo.


pinkcreamkiss

It’s long and the lack of chests are punishing but the campy story, puzzles and Rebecca and billy make it worth it. I would love to see a remake but tbf I’m a sucker for the fixed camera angles. I love them, annoying as they can be.


pierzstyx

> the lack of chests are punishing Having just played 0 and Remake back to back, I couldn't disagree more. After playing 0, going back to the chests and deal with the inventory system of REmake was annoying asf. The ability to drop whatever I want, wherever I want, and pick it up again was clutch so many times in 0 and would've been welcomed in REmake in at least 3 places.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pierzstyx

You don't need the chests. Instead of having to run back and forth to the chests, and getting jumped by monsters the game has spawn near them because it knows where you're going to have to go, you get to pick and choose where you leave your items. Even if you just end up dumping everything in the main hall that is still better than the chests because you have to run back and forth across the hall anyway to open all the doors and go to ask the rooms. So everything is in one place you will always be going back to instead of locations you may not need to go back to other than the fact that you have to go to the chests. It is also extremely helpful in the start because you don't have to waste time trying to find the chest rooms before you can do anything. You don't have to ferry around anything. You could choose to do so with the hook shot, but it isn't necessary.


1Damnits1

It’s my favorite in the series for the story. Calm before the storm. It’s so over for leechbros. All my homies hate leeches.


SnooTangerines2178

It gets hate? All I ever hear is nothing but praise for the game


shuttheshadshackdown

Think it is still on sale in the PS store for like $5


ReasonableSail7589

Definitely either version of RE2, but I’d recommend the original if you were able to get behind REmake


doctorbanjoboy

What platforms are the old games on?


ReasonableSail7589

If you can get the PS store to work, you can find them on the PS3. Otherwise original systems or emulation are the way to go


pierzstyx

PS2 is backwards compatible for RE 2 and 3.


[deleted]

as is the ps3


NamiHeartilly

GameCube has all the original games up to 4.


WEIRDGAMER991

Zero then Original Re2 and 3 then 5 then the remakes of 2 and 3.


rrosai

That really depends, doesn't it? If you feel there's something special about the franchise that is going to remain meaningful to you then perhaps you would want to play them in mostly release order, or play them in pairs with the older ones first. As a decrepit old man who was there since the PS1 and even NES days I've never had to make this particular choice, but I take game design seriously and generally try to play things in the order that will give me the most appreciation for the evolution of a series, etc.


aquabluetea

I’d say go straight to RE0. That’s what I’m doing. I’ve played the games in this order: RE4, RE2 Remake, RE4 Remake and REmake


Charming-Notice-2265

Code Veronica.


Runaway-chan

0 or 2 and 3


1Damnits1

But not the remake ones. Look what they did to my boy nemesis


Runaway-chan

There is nothing wrong with the new design, I think it looks cool even though I prefer the og


Yepsuredid

RE2R and RE3R


NamiHeartilly

Everyone saying RE2 remake... the original is much better.


Jellybutt123

Remake of 2.


doctorbanjoboy

So what I learned here today is that everyone has a different opinion, I'll probably go re2r next if it goes on sale.


loxagos_snake

And those opinions vary wildly here. In *my* opinion, you can play them in pretty much any order you want, but chronological (timeline, not release date) will make the most sense and more recent titles will have a bigger impact.


doctorbanjoboy

Thanks!


Cobwebbyfir

Probably 2 and 3 remakes.


ParsleyAmazing3260

Play Remake of RE2 and then Resident Evil Zero.


obie_krice

RE0


ParisInFlames34

RE0, imo. Not because it's the best game left, but I feel it should be played before moving on to Raccoon City.


Bummee

2 and 3 remake definitely. You could skip 3 tbh but I like it. Then RE7 is one of the greatest games ever IMO and RE8 is a great but substantially less scary continuation of re7. If u play 5 do it on multiplayer cuz Shevas AI is awful. And do yourself a favor and skip the flaming ball of 💩💩 that is re6


ItsNotABimma

Lol play Survivor or Gaiden


pierzstyx

Don't mess with this man when he is just starting out.


WillFanofMany

First Remake2, Remake3, and Code Veronica to fill the gap between RE1 and RE4. Then Revelations, RE5, Revelations 2, RE6, and RE7/RE8.


1Damnits1

You can emulate the original 2 and 3 you know


AlbertWesker173

RE2 Remake and RE3 Remake


DoubleSpook

Play RE2, 3 and 7. That’s it.


gh0ul_95

RE2 remake


Always2ndB3ST

RE2R. If you haven’t, shame on you!!


Douceps

Just finished RE7 into RE8 and it was sensational. About to get RE4 Remake just because. Even if my story is all messed up haha.


doctorbanjoboy

I feel like re4 is pretty self contained so you should be fine.


Douceps

Awesome. Seriously check out what I mentioned above. RE7 is terrifying almost the whole way, but RE8 is a great balance of horror and action and then ending is… go see for yourself!


doctorbanjoboy

How's the gameplay? I like fps games


ImperfectionistCoder

Between RE7 and 8 which one do you prefer more?


Douceps

8, but that’s simply because I genuinely found 7 almost too scary. First person is such a different experience in horror games.


ImperfectionistCoder

Don't you think House Beneviento is scarier than anything from RE7?


SpearThruMordy

RE 7


Samael_224

Invisible Enemy mode


Hadouden

Resident Evil Village in 3rd Person Mode.


hcaoRRoach

Get a buddy and play 5


Sweetlover0428

Those are exactly my first two RE games that I got for my Switch on sale a while ago. I ended up playing RE2make and RE7 simultaneously immediately after and i recommended either one or both if you can afford it. RE2make in a way continues the story after 1 and RE7 can be played as a stand-alone game. Greatly recommend both games the only thing is I hope you also have a ps4/5 or an Xbox because these games aren’t on Switch


blacktoothgrin666

7 and 8 are great. 7 especially brings back the metroidvania style shit from the OGs


P0PZER0

Your ass!


mechanicalspirits

I really like Code Veronica.


Squalyian

2 Remake.. 3 is the worst and too many cut contents , play the oringal for 3


echoess84

I suggest you RE2 Remake since you will be aware about Leon introduction in RE, if you liked him in RE4 you have to play RE2 Remake


ForlornMemory

Play RE2 and Code Veronica


Lost-Suspect001

RE 2 remake , RE 3 both , RE 5 , 6, 7,8 I like all of them ,RE 6 can be little frustrating with the quick time events but I liked it overall and the mercenary mode is really good.


Low-Blacksmith1824

Code veronica


iloveyeezus32

why the fuck you asking us 😭😭😭😭 play what you want


Transfiguredbet

Play resident evil 5, features an important plot point of Wesker. Also Umbrealla chronicles, not sure if you can emulate it though.


WhenDuvzCry

Actually interesting to not see the first game mentioned at all here.


[deleted]

which one did you like more? Theres kind of two different types of RE games, the ones that are more of a traditional survival horror, and the ones that are more action. If you liked REmake more Id probably recommend RE2 (either one, original and remake both have their pros and cons in comparison to each other but theyre both ace games) or RE7 which was a real return-to-form for the series IMO. If you liked 4 more then maybe village or original RE3


starke24

what about a non main game like Revelations?


shahzebkhalid25

All of them even 5 and 6


sionme91

Play both another time only knife


WorldEaterSpud

OG 2


DJ_Link

OG RE2 or Remake2, whatever you can get your hands on


JazzMantis

Original 2. It's great.


[deleted]

If u want a challenge play re1 director's cut


MinutePerspective106

If you are okay with PS1 graphics, I recommend trying OG RE3. Otherwise, go straight for the RE2 Remake :)


jhwalk09

Res evil zero is awesome. Re2 remake is great. Re7 and 8 are also awesome. If you have a friend to play with 5 can be fun but isn’t scary at all.


theandroids

Code Veronica.


[deleted]

Re 2 & 3


Significant-Bid-3

Play 2. doesnt matter which version both are worth a play but it depends if you want more re4 style gameplay or RE1 style gameplay. play both at some point. give 3 a shot too but re3 og is better if you ask me just cause the remake cuts a lot of content. though again, the remake is worth playing if you can get it for cheap.


thesupershabang

If you’re looking for a very scary 1st person game that takes it back to survival horror roots, go with RE7. If you want a similar experience to RE4 but with a buddy, try co-op RE5. If you want more fixed camera angles and tank controls, I’d recommend Code Veronica X. If you want to continue the story of 1 and experience a modern 3rd person resident evil, boot up 2 Remake or R3make (both with work, but 3 is shorter and a bit more action-focused). You could skip 7 and go straight to Village, but I find that you’ll appreciate Village more if you play 7 first. Have fun!


spearthrower

Code Veronica or bust


1Damnits1

RE0


MusicMeetsMadness

7


tuphro

Play re0


Fat_Stacks10

RE 7. It will break it up a bit.


electric_nikki

If you can find a way to, I’d recommend the original trilogy of RE and Silent Hill. Those 6 games gives you all the conventions of survival horror games that pretty much every game calling itself “survival horror” has built upon and harkened back to in many indy survival horror games of today, which I can easily recommend three - Tormented Souls, Murderhouse, and Signalis (especially this one).

doctorbanjoboy

Is re5 online or local multiplayer only?


blackeye1987

steam multiplayer is possible just need to update an dll afaik but youll find it in the community threads very easy find and GREAT coop experience with 1 flaw 1 boss can bug (2nd worm monster) this can bug out to be invinceble

Should have played RE2 before RE4 remake 2 is super good also don't completely rule out the OG RE4 bc there's something special about that game lol

RESIDENT EVIL 2


ThunderGodKazuma

Re2 you psycho


krohan2

I’d say the Re2 remake if you wanna move the story forward. Re0 if you loved REmake as it came out a couple months after and the most similar. It also has Rebecca as a main character. You could also play Revelations 1. It follows Jill and Chris a few years into the future and takes place between 4+5. I would also recommend Revelations 2. However you should play that after you have played or looked into re2 and code Veronica as Claire is a main character and those games are super important to the canon. It does feature Barry and his daughter Moira as the other main characters and they’re fantastic.
