    The HD Remaster of this game was my first RE game. That first play through was an incredible experience.
    My biggest regret was that I already knew Barry was supposed to be a good guy, so I knew he wasn’t the traitor. Unlike the OG RE1, this game does portray Barry as a possible suspect, like when he leaves your for dead in the caves.
    Oh, how I envy anyone who got to go into this game 100% blind!

      Me👋. My friend had the jump before I got to play it on PSX. I went from being scared to fight zombies to knowing where all the enemies and items were. I still have the PAL version of director's cut on my PS mini classic.

    First game I bought for the GameCube. It really set the tone for what remakes should be going forward, not just for Resident Evil but every game remake.

      Was gonna say this. Having seen the original Director's cut of the game back in '97 (I hated the controls, so my older brother manned the game), I feel the remake is the best way to experience the game for the first time. A lot can be said for the cheesy, sparse dialogue in the original though--it added a certain level of tension and mystery I can't describe. you really didn't know what was coming.

    It's great to finally see you talking about what many consider to be the best game in the franchise, indeed REmake innovated so much and was basically a trailblazer for survival horror back in the day. Even nowadays his effects can still be felt.
    Visually, the game is stunning and I love how they make full use not only of the space but the lighting to play with the player's expectations like for example how at the end of the Kenneth corridor where the crows are at the shadows almost seem to tease the presence of an enemy but going in you discover it's just a birdcage. That along with the moody atmosphere and the improved appearance of the zombies does wonder when it comes to giving you that feeling of unease the game is characterized by.
    They also improved so much on the base game basically keeping all the plot points and characters as they were along with the mansion rooms but then adding more to them and connecting them in such a way that made the estate truly feel like a labyrinth ready to swallow intruders whole. Obviously the Lisa Trevor plotline is the best addition.
    Voice-acting is good, I wasn't that blown away specially with Rebecca's performance but maybe that has to do with her VA from RE0 absolutely blowing away the one from REmake away but honestly that's a minor grip.
    As for negatives to the game, as much of a purist as I may be I actually think it is insane they didn't took lessons from RE2 and made Jill and Chris have a zapping system as they explored different parts of the manor and interacted with each other at given points, it's clear that canonically they went thought the mansion and stopped the situation together so having one of them being completely out of the equation doesn't sit well with me. Likewise the fact the fourth STARS survivor (Barry/Rebecca) isn't included in both games is really odd as we truly don't have a canon ending on this game and it feels to me like adding them on a cell or something would have been fairly easy.
    In the end even with those small inconveniences I'm quite happy with how REmake ended up being like, it's still a highlight of the franchise for me. Interested on seeing how you tackle the next titles from this point forward!

      Nintendo tried hard with GameCube to attract the older gamers that bought PlayStation/Sega for more mature games. Besides getting RE, they also published two M rated games too, Eternal Darkness and Geist.
      I miss GameCube Nintendo. They actually tried to compete with the other console rivals and focused on gaming over annoying gimmicks.

      I liked RE2 2019, but they didn't even try to replicate the zapping system and actual A/B scenarios of the original 1998 RE2. B scenarios in particular were weak.
      RE3 Failmake utterly fails to even try to replicate the original 1999 RE3 Nemesis.
      RE4 Remake is 8/10 at best, but it really didn't need to exist as the original still holds up and is widely available. RE CV, 0, Survivor, or Outbreak could actually benefit from remakes.
