For many years, I was told that the remake was better and that it improved upon the original in every way. This is not true. Resident Evil 1 feels more eerie. The mansion is uncanny: its corridors are longer, the spaces are liminal, it's rawer, less detailed and unsettling. The game is more silent. The silence allows for more introspection. No crimson heads. Exploring the mansion becomes a more relaxing and less annoying experience. The game has less bloat and is therefore shorter and repeat playthroughs are more enjoyable. Don't skip on playing the original just because some gatekeepers on the internet told you the remake is better. Play it.
Runs like Butta'! Beautiful and amazing and still thrilling! This takes me back to when I rented it from Home Video in Texas on a stormy ass night! I had this and the Demo Disc with Bushido Blade and FFVII on it! I'm so happy they kept the original opening with color and blood and guts! This game gave this old man happy memories. One of my favorite games of all time.
It's crazy how well this game holds up today. I personally think, after remapping my buttons, this game is substantially easier to control on the pc than the remake, and because you can SKIP THE DOOR SCENES, it honestly feels so much smoother than the remake at times. I couldn't have asked for a better ported version!
