Summary

You might've played the first Resident Evil, but odds are it's the 2015 remaster of the 2002 remake.
The original 1996 version isn't available on digital storefronts (other than PS Plus Premium), but that might be changing.
It has now been rated in Europe for PC again, pointing to a re-release on more modern platforms like Steam.

The original 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil launched in 1996, but the version you're likely familiar with is the 2002 remake which itself received an HD remaster in 2015.

However, the original version of the genre-defining classic has been rated for PC in Europ⛎e again after 28 years, so you might finally get a cha﷽nce to see the birth of the survival horror genre as it was all those years ago.

The newest version of Resident Evil is ♓75 percent off on Steam right now.

As pointed out by Gematsu, the 1996 version did launch on PC back in the day, but it predated digital storefronts. That means you need to find a physical copy to play it all these years later, but they're extortionately priced, going for as much as £200.

Thankfully, if it launches on digital storefronts as this rating suggests, the original game—which spawned one of the most iconic horror series in the medium—will be widely available for modern audiences. A huge win for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:preservation.

Fans Are Hoping Resident Evil 2 and 3 Are Included

The very first Resident Evil remake is an almost 1:1 reconstruction. Given that it only launched in 2002, it even has tank controls. So, it's incredibly faithful, whereas 16ܫ8澳洲幸运5开奖网:the more modern Resident Ev𓆉il 2 and 3 remakes are complete reimaginings of their respective games. There's no way to play the originals or anything close to them on modern hardware right now—your only options are expensive physical copies or emulation.

With news that the original Resident Evil might be coming to digital storefronts, fans are hoping to see RE2 and RE3 as well. Some are even hinging their bets on the three games being announced at today's Nintendo Direct, spurred on by that "we all know what everyone's thinking with this news."

The original Resident Evil is available on PlayStation via PS Plus Premium, but RE2 and 🐻RE3 are nowhere to be seen.

Whatever happens, it looks like Capcom is working to bring the original to modern platforms across the board. The remakes are amazing ways to experience those old stories, but they shouldn't completely replace the classics that they draw from, and hopefully, this is a step in that direction.

What games do you want to see Capcom bring back as they were? Let me guess, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dino Crisis.
