I recently decided to play all the mainline Resident Evil games for the first time ever and it was honestly the best decision I have ever made. I loved Resident Evil 1 so much, the exploration, the vibes, and the atmosphere were just perfect. It gave me a nostalgic feeling for the 90s even though I wasn't born yet. If you haven't started playing Resident Evil yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
Resident Evil is an incredible, highly replayable, memorable, tense, and beautiful game. And it's really unfortunate that this remaster is kinda... bad. The gorgeous pre-rendered backgrounds of the 2002 GameCube original have been completely destroyed with over-sharpened, blotchy, poorly rendered upscales. There's also an intense contrast filter slapped on top of it that leads to extreme cases of crushed blacks and loss of visual detail. The music plays too fast and is higher pitched than it should be. The mouse cursor doesn't go away. The resolution caps at 1080p and the framerate caps at 60. I also find it crazy that after numerous re-releases, the remake, and the remake's various ports and releases, you're STILL not able to skip the door animations. It's safe to say this remaster is pretty rough. So, why do I recommend it then? Two things, really. First, the game itself is still amazing, and everyone should play it. Second, there's mods that fix literally every issue I just listed. The first mod is the most important one, and that is ThirteenAG's Resident Evil Fusion Fix. This mod fixes the resolution and framerate cap, lets you turn off the contrast filter, lets you skip door animations, hides the mouse cursor, and more. The second mod is RESCALE. This is the current best backgrounds replacement mod the community has to offer, and it works wonders to this game's visuals. The shoddy 2015 upscales done by Capcom are completely overhauled with, albeit somewhat flawed, modern AI upscaling technology, greatly improving visual clarity and detail. This one is a must-have, but it does come with a fairly hefty download. The last mod is the Normalized Music Mod. This fixes the strangely quiet and sped-up music tracks the game has out of the box. All these mods are very easy to install, being just simple drag-and-drop replacements of game files, so please, play this game and install these mods, and enter the survival horror.
The pinnacle of survival horror! Revisiting REmake after playing it awhile back, made me finally appreciate how amazing the game. From the eerie atmosphere, level design, music and sheer amount of puzzles to solve, REmake has all the ingredients for a great survival horror experience that will keep you edge. Even with its age, the presentation still holds up really well. Another thing worth mentioning are the designs of all enemies (including bosses) are fantastic and helps keep things interesting. To make REmake is even better, you get to play as one of the best duos: Jill and Chris. Both have their pros & cons that make a playthrough with each different. While I can understand many people not having the patience to play the game, I promise you’ll be missing out. Yes even I was frustrated back when I played with the first time due to its fixed camera angles and controls. Having played it recently though, I felt the complete opposite. I noticed the game finally clicked for me and found myself having one of the best experiences. Best advice I can give for people wanting to try it out is please use your map and always examine items. With enough time, the camera angles and controls will be the least of your worries. Also, don’t be afraid to save your game, as there is plenty of ink ribbons scattered throughout the game. Play this game if you haven’t as it’s the golden standard for the genre!
Review After 100% Achievements Really enjoyed playing through RE1 for the first time through this remastered HD version! I wouldn’t say I’m a big survival horror fan, but with RE9 coming out soon I wanted to experience the magic from where it all started. The controls and fixed camera angles took a little to get use to, but once I did, I had fun flying through the game to complete each playthrough. The achievements can take quite a few runs depending on how hard you want to make it for yourself. Invisible Enemies and the no save run were super stressful, and so was the speedrun. As a whole, the game wasn’t too hard to complete. I died more than a few times on my Real Survival Mode run, which made the experience super memorable. This is a game that I’ve always wanted to 100%...now onto Resident Evil 2! Achievement Count: 44 Time to 100%: ~30hrs Difficulty: ★★★✩✩ Genre of Game: Survival Horror, Zombies, Remake Fun Rating: 8/10 Checkout my YT video review or my [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/twigmastergaming] Steam Curator Page! https://youtu.be/BHVWfvufrws
