    I love seeing people experience Resident Evil for the first time. This was an awesome video and I hope you play more of the RE games. The ones that I think you should 100% play are of course RE7 and RE8. But also playing RE4 original before the remake could make you appreciate the changes in the remake more, or maybe even end up preferring the original. That being said I think all the 'mainline' RE games are worth playing they're all good in their own ways.

    Welcome to the fandom. I've been a fan of Resident Evil since 00. Original RE3: Nemesis was my first RE game, so I've played all the classic games all the way to Village. I'm happy you enjoyed both remakes, and especially 3's remake because it's definitely underrated and I preferred it to 2's remake. If you haven't played the remake of 1, I suggest you do so because that's probably the definitive "perfect" Resident Evil game.

    As someone who has also recently gotten into Resident Evil, I can agree with all of the points you made. RE2 and RE3 remakes are both excellent games and truly define their genre. However if you decide to play RE7 just know you’re in for a real treat. The jump to first person is amazing and the gameplay is just as good, it also truly embraces the horror aspect of the series as it holds some of the most horrifying experiences I’ve had playing video games 😂

    Going back to RPD in 3 gave me goosebumps and brought a whole new level of unease in a place I was much familiar with before.
    I highly recommend RE7. The scariest for sure in the series but IT DELIVERS. Also it’s needed as RE8 village is a direct sequel. Both are AMAZING games on their own and full of surprises along the way!

    Just saw this video in my recommended feed. Welcome to the family, son! I've been a huge fan of the series since RE4 came out on the Wii. My best friend brought it over to show me, and I played a bit of it and thought it was wild, though I never actually beat it until relatively recently. My first games in the series I finished were 5 and 6 (not the best representations of the rest of the series, but they're honestly probably my favorites because they're a blast with a friend), and now with the addition of the remakes, I've played 0 through 8 as well as Revelations 1 in some form or another, be it a remake or the original. I really hope they also remake Code Veronica, as most people agree it's basically a mainline title despite not being numbered, and it's the only mainline game I've not played yet at all. If you haven't by now, I definitely recommend playing through the Resident Evil 1 remake. You've got a lot of great and crazy games to enjoy now!

Unlike horror films, I don’t really check out the horror-survival genre of video games (mainly because I’m a scaredy cat on that front).

    I didn't had a PS back then, so the first RE I was able to play was RE2, thanks to a cousin, we finished RE2 together, although tbh he finished it, then I played RE3 on PC, it was the first game I finished by myself and the game that obsessed me into gaming... and I also became an adict to RE3, to the point I was able to play the game without lookin at the screen... good old times.

    Same man! Never played one up until 7 and when I did, I was just hooked. Bought all the others within a span of like a week. The style of gameplay, the lore, the characters and like you said the FUN. Instantly became one of my new favorite series.

    I hope this journey through the series creates a special memory in you heart. The Remakes are great and you'd definitely love some of the other entries. If you're looking for the harder puzzles in the series then you should try 0 and RE1HD. RE7 and 8 have their own style and are amazing games as well, I'm very excited for you!

    As a longtime RE fan since the original RE2 I bid you welcome. Always happy when we have newcomers joining the fandom and enjoying these fantastic games. And yes you definitely need to play 7 and Village, but you should also try the original REmake and the original Resident Evil 4. The original REmake may be a little harder to get used to since it is in the classic survival horror style but you definitely must experience it as well. As for the original RE4, it's a no brainer, it is one of the best in the series and would give you better appreciation for the changes in the upcoming remake.

    Awesome! When I was a kid, I've always heard about Resident Evil. Unfortunately, I watched the movies first growing up. However, when I was in high school, my friends told me about Resident Evil 4, and how it's the best game in the franchise! I played and was immediately hooked! I read the Resident Evil books to understand the events from the original games and been a fan ever since. Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend! 🙏🏽

    As a long term fan, welcome! I would recommend the older games to you still, as most are pretty fun when you get used to the systems, and the remakes do a decent job getting you into resource and map planning when you go to navigate your way to something. The older games are dated, but what isn’t after 20+ years? The stories and the accomplishment were so much more. A Zelda fan and me switch playing games, I’d never played Zelda before. And the puzzles and huge castles were fun to explore and sneak around. As a re fan that still finds enjoyment replaying, I could also see Loz being in that. We just don’t trade because one looks like it’s for children and the other looks scary. Bot series are quite enjoyable. I only mad him play up to yawn on directors cut but he wanted to play and replay the original 2 and 3 he liked it so much. He told me he understood why I played it so much. I told him he still needs to play fucking 444444444444444

    Brooo I also started playing RE2 about a week ago. On Black Friday I saw RE2 and 3 on a discount and thought to myself: "Eh, might give it a shot" even though I was never invested in any of the characters or the story. A friend of mine recommended these games to me for the longest time but I always thought they seemed boring for some weird reason. But when I got those Black Friday deals... Oh boy he was damn right about these games. I finished RE2 with Leon and Claire in just 4 days and finished RE3 the next 2 days. It was a blast to play. Everything felt planned out and on point. Mr X almost gave me a heart attack when I first saw him and Nemesis basically is Mr X on crack so he scared me even more. Since The Last of Us 1 and 2 I haven't felt such a strong connection to any single player game (maybe because I havent played too many singleplayer games except for Skyrim which is amazing in its on way too) but these games rekindled my love for horror/survival games. I never thought I'd find a game as compelling as TLOU but RE2 and 3 really compete with TLOU for my favorite video games of all time. And yeah, after I heard about the RE4 remake I was hyped as never before because so many people believe it to have redefined the genres of horror/action/survival and that it set a new standard for video games. I also thought about giving RE5 and 6 a try but looking at the reviews I dont know if they would be able to compare with the remakes. Well, I started RE7 yesterday and it is the scariest part by far (at least for now) and I'm really looking forward to RE8 even though I'm mainly hyped on being able to play as Leon/Claire/Jill/Carlos again in some future installment. Let's hope RE9 or maybe even RE10 will give us these characters everyone has started to love.
    Everyone should at least try out the RE series, it's amazing once you get invested in the story and the characters, so if you haven't already, give it a shot!

    You've gotta start with the 2002 RE1 remake. The grove you're in by the end of the game translates so well to RE2 remake without missing a beat, it's insane. I'd do Code Veronica and 0 once you've finished 3, then 4, Revelations 1, 5, 6, Revelations 2, 7 and 8. There are also fully-canon animated films which take place in the middle era of the franchise.

      I disagree, my first experience with RE franchise is OG RE3. After playing remake, it's really felt like cash grab. Let me point out why
      1) small map
      2) map felt like empty
      3) sounds design is very poor
      4) Jill is unlikable
      5) nemesis chasing felt like chore and not scary
      6) the plot from OG already paper thin, this remake make it felt like basic indie game
      Good thing about this game is
      1) third person camera is my favourite in games
      2) good visual
      3) likable oliviera
      4) they improvise oliviera story

    I strongly recommend 7 & 8 too, they’re tremendous games. Irregardless of the naysayers, I recommend 5 & 6 too, they’re a lot of fun with a greater emphasis on action; to be fair it makes sense canonically as by this point the characters involved are veterans so dealing with these threats is practically 2nd nature.
