The one that started it all. I've been wanting to do a series of longplays for the Resident Evil games, specifically the first three games (four if you count RE0) and do so with the classic versions and the remakes.
You should know the story by heart by now. If not, here it is in a nutshell. In mid 1998, a series of abnormal murders take place in the vast forest outside a midwestern town known as Raccoon City. The local police department sends in their special forces unit, S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) to investigate. The events lead a small group of the unit into a mansion deep in the forest, where they discover the source of the murders: viral zombies and other mutant creatures.
You play as either Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield. While the story is more or less the same regardless of who you play as, there are several notable differences between them. Jill has the easier campaign as she can hold more items, has access to more weapons and a lock pick and her teammate Barry to help out. Chris's game is more difficult as he has less inventory space, areas that are not easily accessible and more enemies to deal with.
The first Resident Evil, the Director's Cut version specifically, has quite a bit of sentimental value to me as it was one of the two first games I got for the PS1 for Christmas one year (Megaman X4 being the other). I vividly remember having the crap scared out of me when the Cerberus dogs crashed through the windows in that one hallway as well as dreading having to face Yawn up in the attic. This was some scary stuff...for the time you must understand.
Looking back on this game now, especially with all that has come out since, this game is flat out laughable (don't get me started on the voice acting). However, no one can deny, games like Resident Evil in it's current form, Silent Hill, Dead Space and countless others probably wouldn't be around without Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield's nightmarish adventure through the Spencer Mansion on the PS1.

In 1997, Capcom released a slightly updated version of Resident Evil on the Playstation called Resident Evil: Director's Cut. This game included a new Advanced or Arrange mode. There were several differences between the Advanced mode and the original game.
- Relocation of most items
- Some rooms have received slight graphic upgrades and have new fixed camera angles
- New outfits for Jill, Chris and Rebecca
- New default Beretta that fires a Magnum-level bullet randomly
- Increased enemies
- New Enemies - Zombiefied Forest Speyer & Super Zombie (zombie that comes down the stairs in the mansion kitchen)
- Closet where you can change your character's outfit is unlocked from the start. Special Key is no longer needed
- New unlockable weapon - Colt Python w/ unlimited ammo. Can be obtained after getting the best ending
The primary reason for Director's Cut was to tide players over as Resident Evil 2 had been delayed. To sweeten the deal, Capcom included in the original release of RE:DC a playable demo of RE2.

And now we get to what many consider the Holy Grail of the RE series, Resident Evil 2. To this day, this game still holds up, even compared to the remake.
Taking place two months after the original game, Resident Evil 2 follows Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop transferring to Raccoon City, and Claire Redfield, the sister of Chris Redfield from the first game. Both have their own reasons for coming to Raccoon City, but it doesn't take them long to find out that the place has gone to hell in a hand basket.
Also of note that this is the original PS1 version, so you'll probably notice small things such as the Blue Coke Machines that were censored in subsequent versions of the game.

One of the best things about RE2 was the fact that once you beat the game as one character, you could start another game as the other to fill out the story and get an added challenge in the form of the Neo Tyrant that appears throughout the game. To me, the Leon A/Claire B scenarios were the easier of the possible combinations, mainly because you didn't need to worry too much about Sherry in Claire's B scenario.

Playthrough of the Claire A scenario, which is considered to be the official canon version of the game along with Leon's B scenario. Claire's A scenario is a little tricky, mostly due to the fact that you have Sherry in tow during the later half of the game, as well as the segment where you play as Sherry and have to deal with a pair of Cerberus dogs.
Also of note, I'm playing the GameCube version of RE2 with this run, so you'll probably notice that the animations are smoother and the graphics got a slight upgrade.

With the success of Resident Evil 2, to say that Nemesis had a tough act to follow would be an understatement. Taking place before and after RE2, RE3 follows Jill Valentine as she tries to escape Raccoon City. Dogging her every step of the way is Nemesis, an evolved version of Umbrella's Tyrant bio-weapons that has been programmed with only one purpose: wipe out Jill Valentine.
Without the Zapping System of RE2, where the story would change depending on which character you played as, RE3 had an interesting randomization system where some items, puzzles and enemy sets would be switched around as well as multiple branching paths, so you'd be playing a somewhat different game every time to up the replay value.
Speaking of replay value, there are plenty of unlockables to get upon completion of the game, including 7 different epilogues, 5 different costumes (including Jill's original S.T.A.R.S. uniform and Regina from Dino Crisis) and the Mercenaries mini-game.
When you compare this game to it's 2020 Remake, you can definitely see more than a few differences. To me, this is definitive version of Resident Evil 3.

Ah, Resident Evil 0. Some love it, some hate it. I personally like it. It was the last of the classic RE games in that it was the last to have fixed camera angles and tank controls. Originally RE0 was in development for the Nintendo 64 following the very impressive port of Resident Evil 2 to that system. However, the limitations of the cartridge based console put an end to it soon afterwards. Fortunately, this was also around the time when the Gamecube was beginning development, so the project would be moved to that system.
Acting as a prologue for the first game and the series in general, RE0 follows S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team Medic Rebecca Chambers after she and her team crash in the Arklay Mountains en route to investigating the murders taking place there. Along the way, she encounters Billy Coen, an ex-Marine sentenced to death and the two form a tenuous alliance to escape the horror that they have stumbled upon.
Resident Evil 0 did do a few interesting things with the classic RE formula. You have two characters that you can swap between at will. Inventory management is alot harder in this game as there are no item boxes, so you have the option to drop an item anywhere at anytime. Expect alot of back tracking in this game.

I'll be honest, this game was the sole reason I picked up a Gamecube back in the day.
Back in 2001, in a rather ballsy move, Nintendo and Capcom announced that a trio of Resident Evil games would be exclusive (at the time) to Nintendo's Gamecube system. Those games would be Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 0 and a remake of the first game. Now while Resident Evil 4 was a big get for the Big N, the main event in my opinion was the RE-Make This wasn't a simple re-texture job with higher-res models. The first game was remade from the ground up. New areas, new mechanics, new enemies, the works. This is the definitive version of the first game.
If you played the original game and thought you were just going to breeze by, you were gravely mistaken. Kill a zombie? Better hope you blew it's head off or incinerated the corpse, otherwise you're in for a nasty surprise after a while. Had the maps memorized? Here's a few new areas. Expecting a surprise attack while going down a certain hallway? Might happen...might not happen.
This game, despite being a little under 20 years old as of this typing, still holds up and is one of my favorite RE games right alongside the original RE2.

After playing through the original and remade versions of RE, I've noticed that Chris's game is only really tricky during the first part of the game. Once you get out of the mansion and get past Yawn and the Super Crimsonhead Zombie, it's pretty much downhill from there.

"WE DO IT"
The three words that officially kicked off the remake of perhaps the best game of the Resident Evil series. After the success of the remake of the first game on Gamecube, fans were begging Capcom to give RE2 & RE3 the same treatment. We got a slight taste of it in RE0 (the factory area just before the first Proto-Tyrant boss fight is the same as the original RE2). But for the longest time, the closest we got to a remake of RE2 & 3 was in the lightgun rail shooters, the Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Capcom finally listened and RE-Make 2 came to be. Much like the first game, RE-Make 2 was not just a simple re-texture job. The game was rebuilt from the ground up with new areas and changes to gameplay. All in all, a great effort from Capcom.

And now we get to perhaps the weakest of the RE-Makes. I had some hope for this game, but sadly, RE-Make 3 is the embodiment of "Cash-Grab." Compared to the amount of content offered in RE-Make 2 as well as the content from it's original incarnation, RE-Make 3 is lacking in plenty of areas. Areas that were reduced (the city itself) or removed entirely (the clock tower, the park and treatment plant) and lack of replayability (no randomization or multiple branching paths) and extra content (no Mercenaries mini-game or classic soundtrack) really hurt this game. This is one of those times where the original is superior to the modern. This is also where the PC version is highly recommended so you can use mods to get some enjoyment out of this game.
