Resident Evil 2's PC version is based on the PlayStation "Dual Shock Ver" re-release with high-resolution character models, something that 3: Nemesis also boasts with its improved graphics. These games have since been 'remade' by Capcom in 2019 and 2020 respectively, but they're closer to reimaginings, swapping tank controls for over-the-shoulder action while readapting the story with the sequels in mind.

The Original 1996 Resident Evil Is Available On GOG Right Now, DRM Free

As you wait for Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis, you can play through the original 199꧟6 version of the first Resident Evil game also through GOG. The one you're likely familiar with is the 2015 remaster of the 2002 remake. While a lot more faithful than the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, it's still not the original. Now you can see where it all started.

The iconic classic is now available with all its original content intact, featuring quality-of-life improve✅ments and enhanced compatibility for modern systems [...] Resident Evil is now available on the DRM-free GOG store.

The original Resident Evil was ported to Windows after the PlayStation version with uncen𝕴sored footage and two new weapons—the Ingram submachine gun and Minimi light machine gun for Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield respectively. They also got exclusive costumes just for the PC port.

It's an interesting time capsule, a glimpse into 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the beginning of t🦩he survival h▨orror genre as we know it, but if you don't have a PC and are itching to step back through time with everyone else, there is a way. PS Plus includes the 1996 Director's Cut version of the game, which up until now was the only current-gen platform to host the classic. Maybe it'll get the sequels too one day.
