Are you a fan of the classic Resident Evil games? If so, you’re in luck because Capcom and GOG have teamed up to bring back the original low-polygon glory of the franchise. Now available on GOG, the first Resident Evil game is ready to purchase, with Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis soon to follow. And if you’re looking to save some money, you can grab a bundle with all three games at a 17% discount for just $25.
What makes these releases special is that they are DRM-free versions of the survival-horror classics, enhanced with quality-of-life improvements and updated compatibility for modern PCs. In fact, this version of Resident Evil is the uncut edition, featuring even more blood, graphic violence, and gory scenes than the original PlayStation release.
GOG recently spoke to Suzi “SphereHunter” Hunter about the process of bringing these classic games back to life. Technical challenges and bugs had to be addressed to meet Capcom’s high standards, resulting in numerous builds being submitted for approval during the QA process. Enhancements include improved DirectX rendering, new rendering options, and full controller support for a more seamless gaming experience.
But that’s not all – improved cutscene timing, enhanced save-game management, and the ability to switch between different localizations are just a few of the changes you can expect. With the recent age rating leak online, this marks the first time Resident Evil will be available digitally on PC.
And the nostalgia doesn’t stop there. Reports suggest that a Resident Evil Zero remake is in the works, with rumors swirling about an open-world Resident Evil 9 on the horizon. It’s an exciting time for fans of the franchise as we get to relive the horror and suspense of these iconic games in a whole new way. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to dive back into the world of survival horror with the classic Resident Evil series on GOG.
