Solid ranking order. Tho in my honest opinion 5 was miles better than 6! Mostly because the co-op at the time was amazing and offered great replay value.
Fair point! It was quite difficult to actually choose where to put stuff other than Resi 3 Remake which was always going to come last.
Every other game has lots of great things about them. I agree that Resi 5 is a better game to actually play than 6. But I like the survival horror moments that 6 had 😊
For me re6 is better than 5 just becouse is so over the top that it's hilarious and playing with a friend brought me some really funny moments
@@Lt-GhostR Agreed. It's just so crazy I can't help but play it with a grin on my face
Being better than 6 isn’t saying much lol.. it’s the most hated game in the franchise. It’s a terrible RE game, however if the RE title wasn’t attached to the game it would be loved as a great action coop game
Agree with the coop thing! Also re0 has such a special place in my heart. Grew up reading the series of books by SD Perry. Zero was such a fantastic game after I had read the books. If you are a die hard fan, read em!
I really enjoyed RE5 I really liked how Capcom gave everyone their own unique fighting styles
I'm a sniper rifle kinda guy. Nothing more satisfying than a well timed headshot! Thanks for commenting.
@@TheWintersGate I loved blowing heads off as much as the next guy but it was something about just punching or kicking your opponent and sending them flying that was soo awesome about the game
I have the feeling that capcom is remaking RE5
Solid ranking. I'd personally switched 5 and 6, but everthing else was solid. Nice job man.
Thanks for the comment! I can understand switching those two.. I do think fundamentally 5 is a better game to play, but I do like the pure ridiculousness of 6.
3 remake last!???!? Daaaang, I completely agree the original is way better but it’s not bad at all! Leagues better than 5, 6 & 0
RE6 appreciation?? LOVE TO SEE IT! 💜🦒 A great video overall and it was amazing hearing fresh takes on the RE games 💯👌🏻
I genuinely don't think it's as bad as some people make out. Thanks for the nice comment!
@@TheWintersGate IKR! and no problem!! You are amazing so keep it up 🤗
Dude that game was weak. I tried it recently because I liked it back in the day. It’s pretty terrible and certainly isn’t better than 5
@@firefly44220 We all have our own opinions 😬✌🏻
Resident evil 6 is SOOOO underrated
Genuinely surprised to see your sub count. Very well put together video. I personally have RE5 much higher, but it's partly nostalgia
Thanks for commenting! It was daunting putting a video out pretty much into the ‘void’, not knowing what the reactions would be or if it will even get watched. But I fully intend to continue making videos and see how the channel grows. I really appreciate the support though!
I was happy to see you rank 0 so high! It's one my my favorite games, but often gets sunk to the bottom of the barrel (either in terms of placement, or terms of raw insult while being reviewed). Beyond that too this is just an awesome review! I hope it gets tons of views, man, I'm glad this one got recommended to me!! I like how in every game, even for how much you dislike them, there's a clear love for the franchise. A lot of reviewers these days don't really have that
Cheers for leaving such a nice comment. I really had no idea what the reaction to the video would be, but I'm pleased people are not only watching it, but enjoying it too! I'm also glad my respect for the franchise came through. I can genuinely find positives in all the games, even the ones I'm less fond of, but also wanted to approach this with a 'critic' mindset as well. Hopefully got the balance right. In terms of Zero - it does tend to get forgotten about, which I've never understood. Great game! Thanks again for commenting and stay tuned, I've got a few more projects in mind (including, naturally, the RE4 remake eventually..)
@@TheWintersGate5 ia better than 6 bro. The rest of the list is w.e
this review had so much effort put into editing and creating, serious well done man, i heavily enjoyed it
Thanks for the kind feedback! It definitely took a lot of time to put together, especially as I have to do it around a day job, but it was fun to make. It’s a bit rough around the edges in places but overall I’m pleased with how it turned out and especially that people seem to be enjoying it. 👍
Pretty good video! My personal favorite is 7, but I agree with your other picks.
Thanks 😊 yeah I love 7. It was genuinely difficult deciding where to put it. It’s probably the one I return to most often too
7 and 2 remake are just filled with amazing secrets and game design and I love them for it
Honestly solid video. Reminds me of old RUclips videos. I’ve only played the remake games and 3 was definitely the weakest but it was still fun. RE4 though has had me trapped for days. I’ve spent like over 50 hours and beat it like 6 times and am doing another run for S+. It deserves game of the year for sure
Thanks for commenting, much appreciated. Glad you had fun with the video! The remakes have definitely been really well done, with the exception of 3 which I just felt was rushed out. Having such a soft spot for the original, I hoped it would get the proper love that Resi 2 and now Resi 4 have been given. Resident Evil 4 remake definitely seems to be making up for it though, it's on my list for when I finish yet another rerun of Witcher 3...
This is your FIRST video? My guy, I'm going to look forward to this channel
Haha, thanks for the comment! Yeah wasn't sure how it would be recieved, a bit overwhelmed by it all to be honest! There is more on the way!
Incredible! Enjoyed your review on this amazing franchise! 💪
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. More will be coming, I have a few projects lined up!
Great ranking! Even tho I disagree with a few placements your in-depth analysis of each game is really intresting and even made me wonder at points if maybe my views over some of them have changed.
Thanks for the comment! I think that's what is great about the Resi series, people like different games / eras for different reasons and all opinions are valid. If I've given even one person a reason to reconsider or replay a certain game, then that's definitely a victory!
This was an amazingly put together video, I was genuinely really surprised to see just how much effort was put in after seeing your sub count. I’m gonna stick around for hopefully more R.E content in the future. 👏 well done
P.s resi 2 remake is my favorite game of all time because of almost everything you said but I couldn’t get into the first personally cause of the tank controls.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed. It took a while to put together but happy with the result. I'll definitely be doing more Resi content in the future :)
Absolutely amazing content uv just earned a new subscriber
Thanks very much. Glad you have enjoyed the video! I don’t get much free time at the moment to make content but I am putting more time aside for it now. Thanks for the support 👍
10. RE0 (barely remember it, need to go back)
9. RE Revelations (meh)
8. RE6 (a mess but so fun with co op)
8. RE Revelations 2 (good game)
7. RE3 Remake (needed that full, uncut version)
6. RE5 (1st one I'd played and completed)
5. RE Village (good, fun, over the top experience with a surprisingly emotional end even though the story is quite messy at times)
4. RE1 Remake (best atmosphere and setting, truly spine chilling and legendary)
3. RE7 (one of the scariest in the series with a great story and that atmosphere 👌)
2. RE 2 Remake (the OG was the first I'd seen being played in the series and playing the remake for myself was a big deal. One of the greatest horror games of all time that again, nails the atmosphere)
1. RE4 Remake / Original (what can I say that hasn't been said already??? The remake lifed up to the expectations... OG and REMAKE are 👑)
Haven't played RE1, RE2, RE3 originals or Code Veronica fully but seen many clips and gameplay and knew the stories. Also watched my big bro play the old ones when I was a kid and they scared the shit out of me lol
I want a Code Veronica remake badly 🤞 and hoping for 5 and 6 remakes that fix the issues those games had
Solid list =D thanks for sharing! Originals were classic but no point going back to them to be honest these days with the remakes being so decent! (Except 3...)
@@TheWintersGate Same to yourself, great video 👌 love these rankings and hearing others perspectives of the series. I'm very tempted to play the OG trilogy and Code Veronica but I'm afraid that my expectations won't match the legends that they are, I view those through "rose tinted glasses" from childhood as being too terrifying to play 😂 and would like to to keep that perspective if that makes sense lol I know that's a bit shallow. I have nostalgia for MGS1 and love it because I played it back in the day and it's still legendary to me even with the dated graphics and gameplay but aside from seeing my brother playing parts of the OG RE trilogy back in the day, the nostalgia of experiencing them with the controller in my hands just isn't there for me 🤷♂️ I'm probably missing out 🤦♂️
Excellent list man! REmake is really great, esp. with its Invisible Enemy, That One Zombie and Real Survival modes. Keep it up! Subscribed!
Thanks for the comment and subscribing! Glad you enjoyed the video =D
Hey, this was a great video. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on other games.
Thanks man. I have to do this around a day job which will slow me down, but already working on something new. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for commenting!
Resident evil 2 remake gets the number 1 ranking, for me it's by far the best resident evil game in the main series.
Solid opinion. Thanks for commenting
Love this video! My top 2 is RE4 and RE remastered and can't wait to see your RE4 remake review!
Thanks for the comment - so glad you liked it! Resi 4 remake is on my to-do list, I'm hoping to get to it in the next couple of weeks!
God re 3 remake never ceases to disappoint me though I always get a kick out of the scripted chase up the burning building with nemesis screaming stars and the ost as you battle him. Re5 was my first resi game as well as my first horror game so it will always be my favourite. Great list man
Thanks for sharing! Cinematically, Resi 3 remake is definitely impressive, but I'd take dodgier graphics and cutscenes if the gameplay and overall content was fully fleshed out, no pun intended. Interesting to hear that 5 was the first you ever played. Can't beat a bit of nostalgia!
@@TheWintersGate yeah cinematics is kinda the only thing re3 has other than nemesis’s re design and yeah I remember my mom picking it up for me not noticing the age rating and the next one thing yknow I see a character being beheaded by a giant dude with an axe. Good times
This is an awesome video, especially for your first, please continue making content!! I subscribed, hoping to see more from you!
Thanks, appreciate the comment! More stuff is coming (eventually!)
Erm considering this is your first video. This is amazing 🙌 A very well done and very well put together
Thanks dude, appreciate the comment. Took a lot of work and I’m glad people are finding it interesting!
I'd pick the gamecube remake of resident evil over the hd upgrade only because of the impact it made its the standard bearer of all resident evil remakes.
Good point - it was revolutionary at the time that's for sure, paved the way for the modernisation of the older games. Thanks for commenting!
Great video man. Luckily this showed up to me on the Home Screen. Props from Brazil, keep up the good work!
Awesome, thank you! I don’t have much time to make videos regularly due to my job , but I aim to keep going and increase my output. Never been to Brazil, hoping to one day. For work, funnily enough!
Great video mate lol keep it up 👍🏿
Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it. Next video won't necessarily be Resident Evil based, but I have a few plans on the horizon for various other horror games...
Damn, a great neutral breakdown of every game with the pros and cons listed. Solid ranking overall and I'm super pleased that RE1R is the number one. I can't see a Resident Evil game ever topping it, it is perfect from start to finish, but RE4 OG definitely comes close. Great video
Thanks for the comment! Relatively easy to be neutral because I love all the games really (except RE3 remake) but can definitely understand their flaws and why people prefer some over others. RE1 definitely tops it for me, has everything a Resi needs. I've nearly finished RE4 remake and I've been pretty impressed with it to be honest as well.
@@TheWintersGate damn I have to be the guy that also really loves RE3R, but maybe that's because I haven't played og yet. And I gotta sub to hear out your thoughts on 4R. I still think og 4 is king, but would like to hear your take once the review is out.
That reverse psychology triggering thumbnail...
The reason I love Village despite the linearity and service level exploration and "puzzle solving" is two things: (I'm talking gameplay, story I won't go into)
It never outstays its welcome for me.
You see I was playing this game that was recently added to gamepass called Ghostwire tokyo...and I... didn't like it. It had the same issue as village where the combat and exploration was very shallow but it was also 15 hours long. Village is like 5 to 6-ish hours long in replays and the game throws SO much at you from side quests, treasure hunting in every nook and cranny of village factory and castle that you're always distracted by something...it gives you the illusion of nonlinearity in every lord's level (well lady d and H factory) tho it's extremely linear but since you know what to do go it goes by really fast. In a way I always get in the zone playing this game cause I feel like a speedrunner going through it something that I can't say about most REs I play.
Other factor is the Village itself...I adore it
It's not just pretty...it feels so lived in and cosy that I swear even on my 10th playthrough I thought it was still a Joy to explore specially when they added a lot of secret areas that are optional to explore.
So while one of the least mechanically engaging and one of the most weirdly paced RE games I've played I've come to really like it even more so then games that are objectively miles better like 2R and 4R
Really interesting insight, thanks for sharing. I agree with a lot of what you say there. I maybe come across as quite harsh on Village - I did enjoy it overall, especially the village section :)
Should play 7 and 8 in vr
Well made video dude! Loved your ranking too. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep it up!
Thanks =D I plan to continue making videos whenever I can, and hopefully the sub count will follow. I'll be covering all sorts of games. Please stay tuned and spread the word!
I subscribed to your chan el, good sir 😊
Amazing stuff! Thanks for the support. I have a few things planned. Watch this space
while i do think that re3s remake was disappointing, i think it was still crafted with a lot of love the same way re2 and 4s remakes were. its a shame that the decisions made were step downs from the original, but i still have a great time playing it (despite how unfortunately short it is)
That's fair enough. I think my dislike for it is quite personal... with the original being the first Resi I ever played the nostalgia made me crave the remake and I just felt so deflated when it came out. If I didn't care so much about the original I'd probably enjoy the remake a lot more. Thanks for the comment!
@@TheWintersGate yeh i completely agree, my first re game was 7 but from everyone ive spoken to whos played the originals they are enthusiastic about re2s remake but not so much 3, and cant say i dont see why
"love" when all support for it was dead on arrival, missing multiple areas of the game, fight or flight response to Nemesis was completely removed and so was literally every puzzle in the game that could be considered one. Not to mention downgrades from RE2r which literally comes right before it. It's literally resident evil for people who hate everything about resident evil.
Great video
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time!
Good video dude, played all the mainline ones except for the og trilogy, CV, Zero and 4 Original but they seem pretty good. Loved RE1 Remake, it's really scary with the Lisa Trevor parts and the Hunters. That final lab part was pretty good even though the Tyrant is unnerving.
Cheers for the comment =D The only one that kinda passed me by was CV, I played bits and pieces but never all the way through. Glad you liked RE1 remake - I think it's a great balance between updating and modernising the original but still having that classic Resi feel from the old days.
So you basically have not played like half of the mainline series lol!
@@TheWintersGate From what I've seen from the og ones I agree, glad I'm not the only one who got surprised by the two Hunters either. Imo everything in RE1's remake is scary. I remember accidently letting a zombie dog into the mansion lol.
@@brentalbrecht7022 I don't have a ps1 or 2 and I have never been able to find the first three but I picked up og 4 and CV on ps4 a while back.
Nice ranking man love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hella good video man! Top quality, hope your channel takes off.
Thanks man, that's kind of you. I have to do it around a day job unfortunately, but I intend to make a good go of it.
My favourite re game is definitely re4 I just finished it a couple of days ago and completed everything the game had to offer (this was the first time I ever played it and before this I had only played the classic re titles I am new to the franchise btw) and I loved how it balanced the horror and action and the fact I no longer had to struggle with tank controls and camera angles they really went all out and even though I never played re5 and re6 it seems like they wanted to make the lightning strike twice with these two anyway I really liked the video looking forward to more!
Great stuff! Glad you enjoyed. I too am enjoying RE4 at the moment, it definitely is a fantastic game that (mostly!) improves the original. I’m editing together a review on it and hope you enjoy checking that out also when its done. Hopefully in a week or so! 5 and 6 are nothing special, neither is 8. But I’d give 7 a go if you haven’t already. Interesting spin on the series. Thanks for the nice feedback!
@@TheWintersGate Thanks for the recommendation I did want to try out 7 next and I'll definitely be checking out your review I really enjoy watching videos like this and hearing other's opinions especially people like you who have played every game in the series!
I loved re2 and re3 nemesis when I was a kid. Replayed each multiple times for different reasons; re2 had four scenarios and re3 nemesis had choices which change outcomes. Both were enjoyable in their own right. If only I could play both ok my Xbox series x
Back when re6 was released it looked sh!t and played the demo which confirmed this so moved on. Keep hearing and seeing videos that my feelings were spot on
Resi 6 is not good when compared to the original games, or their modern counterparts (except 3 remake). Only a handful of minor things kept it above 5 as well. Thanks for commenting!
great video ! def subscirbing to u hihi!! i love resident evil, i only got into it two years ago but id be lying if i said that it hasnt changed my life fr. ive been thinking about playing re1 hd remaster for some time now but never knew if i should really do it since i got into re thru re4 and the remakes but this review defo convinced me to get it now and give it a try :DD
Thanks for the comment + sub! Definitely recommend RE1 remake, it is a great way to experience the classic style of the originals but with relatively modern graphics. Only the controls and dialogue are still a bit dated, but as I mentioned i think that just adds to the experience! Hope you enjoy it anyway.
Very enjoyable informative video
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support! 👍
The thumbnail is baiting for engagement so hard. 😂
Otherwise great and informative video from beginning to end with solid rankings!
Haha! I've seen other channels do it and thought, why not, bit of harmless fun! First video and all that. Won't do it again, felt a bit cheeky not gonna lie. Glad you enjoyed the video though! Thanks for commenting!
i always find RE gameplay very interesting and very varied in some ways but when im actually try to play these games im always very very afraid to continue playing dont know maybe its a childhood or something else and thank you for the great ranking of this games enjoyed it a lot
Play in a well lit room / during the day on an easier difficulty, and you'll be fine! :D Thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed my analysis!
@@TheWintersGate i might give it a shot to be honest thank you for advice
A series close to my heart as well. Yep, Nemesis was the first game I EVER completed on the original PS. 2 I never completed first time - and returned a decade later to finish. Zero & the remake hold a special place in my heart because the GameCube was such a distinctive system - those backdrops are so effective. Tho the loss of the chest (which Capcom utilised for CV:X as well) took a lot of getting used to for item management.
5 & 6 I like for the cinematics and the movie aspect where you can replay the cutscenes.
the Crimson Heads , Nemesis , IT , Ustanak & Simmonds are all ICONIC that will live forever over the 20 odd years.
Still enjoying 7th gen games (Dead space 3 finished last week) but the upcoming PS3 and 4 buy will open up 7 & Village and Shadows of Rose which is terrifying as well.
Really , if youre a long term fan , the rankings can't really shift from this - everyone knows what the legends are - and the epic fails.
Great comment, thanks for sharing. I actually love Dead Space 3, I know a lot of people don't. Agree that the backdrops on the GameCube were pretty remarkable at the time. Hope you enjoy playing the additional entries! I do need to give Shadows of Rose a run, just haven't got to it yet.
Love the video. I agree with a lot of the ranking but personally I prefer 5 over 6, but overall great video keep it up.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment.
I really like this raking video you made! I’m curious tho where you will put RE4 remake tho and why?
Thanks! Appreciate it. I’m not sure - I haven’t played it yet. It’s next on my list. I imagine judging by common reactions it will be up the top somewhere but I’ll wait and make up my own mind! When I review it, I’ll reference this vid and where I’d put it… if it steals top spot or not
Great job! This kinda video could definitely use time stamps to organize it all though.
Thanks for the comment and feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video. That's a great suggestion.. I've added time / chapter stamps, hopefully that makes the whole thing more digestible!
Heres my list 🙏🏽🙋🏾♂️💪🏾
Resident evil 8village My first play of series. (Good story run.)
Resident Evil 4 and 4 remake (played both new and old version loved it)
Resident Evil 3 (sort of scary but fun with weapons.)
Resident Evil 2 (scary and fun)
Resident Evil 6 (crazy and extreme)
Resident Evil 5 (fun and cool with Albert wesker in it.)
Resident Evil 7 (scary and creepy but enjoyable.)
Resident Revelation 2 (alright)
Resident Revelation (classic tragedy)
Resident Evil code veronica (never played it !)
Resident Evil 0 ( never played it!)
Great list! I will say though that code Veronica, despite it not having a number, is a main title.
Hi, thanks for commenting! That’s a fair point.. how could I forget?! I played it a few times way back when and remember enjoying what I played, but I don’t think I ever completed it so decided not to include it. Thanks for commenting!
@@TheWintersGate Yeah. I've always viewed it as the real resident evil 3. It feels like the true sequel to resident evil 2. I really hope Capcom gives Code Veronica the remake treatment. It has so much potential.
I'm glad someone said this before I went mad in the comments. Code Veronica was initially supposed to be re3. First re game to have 3d backgrounds and to this day is one of if not the hardest re game in the franchise. This is my #2 fave. Re2 remake takes #1 for me
@@lamNoJedi go mad in the comments! I hold my hands up I left out a good entry. I just feel I haven’t played it enough to justify including it. But it makes total sense for Capcom to remake it like they have the others.. hope they do it. Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
@@TheWintersGate now is a good time than ever to get the HD copy on psn. 😁
I agree with RE3: Nemesis being the best one. I played it back then (90's kid here) and it was a big deal. Nemesis making a hole on that man's head, killing him THAT way... The game tells you rightaway that "you are not safe".
Fellow 90s kid, love it.
Definitely, the introduction to the Nemesis was handled so much better in the original, it was ominous hearing the rumours about ‘something’ being out there, then bam. He appears and you know you’re in trouble. Approaching the RPD in every playthrough was then terrifying. It’s such a basic but effective trick, I can’t believe they screwed it in the remake.
I agree with your list way more than any other I’ve seen on RUclips. I still have yet to play re1r but I’m debating on buying it
Thanks for the comment, great to hear! Always interested in hearing other people's views but always nice when in agreement. I'd definitely recommend picking up RE1 remake, it should be relatively cheap now. Think I paid about £15 or so and that was a good few years ago. If you can put up with the dated dialogue and tank controls, it's a vintage one to play.
@@TheWintersGate alright thanks man. I’ll give it a shot!
Discussing unlocking the door mechanic was really interesting
Thanks!! I was wondering if people would find that interesting. It’s just a little thing based on my experiences of the older games that I was reminded of when playing RE1 and Village.
I cant believe this is your first video the quality is amazing. Loved your list order. Do you play castlevania and if you do would you make a list of that series?
Thanks for the nice comment! Glad it turned out ok. Sorry but I can’t say I’ve ever played them! I know, shocking for a guy who is trying to start a gaming RUclips! Do you have any favourites? Where would you recommend someone new to start?
@@TheWintersGate I would recommend symphony of the night or rondo of blood. Both are in the castlevania collection on playstation store. I think you would love them. Tough but fair games
Ive personally always loved RE7 and Village a lot. Re8 being my favourite Resident Evil game, and second favourite of all times (Right next to the sims 3 for top spot, lol) I love the castle portion especially, the atmosphere is just wonderful. I disagree with people who say that Lady D isnt as intimidating as Mr X and Nemesis. I always thought she was very imposing. Everytime I saw her I ran away! My favourite area is also House Beneviento. God, the setup for that creepy ass fetus thing is amazing. I kept thinking there was a jumpscare coming and there never was… then the baby came. I had to pause the game and there were tears in my eyes from the sheer horror of it.
I also love RE7. maybe Im a bit biased though, it was my first RE game I played. I actually played the ending first! Someone asked me to play the final bossfight in vr for some reason, which was definitely a weird way to start the franchise off. I love the house with Jack creeping around the most. I love stalker enemies that you just cannot take down, and Jack was a masterclass in that. I kept running to a safe room whenever I thought I mightve heard him. Though I will say that the final bossfight absolutely fell flat. Much too easy, but that can be said for most RE final bossfights imo.
Absolutely loved the video, I agreed with most of the ranking!
Nothing wrong with the Sims! Great points about Lady D, and Jack in Resi 7. Both great designs and when they are chasing you it is very effective. If you love stalker-type enemies, you should enjoy the next video I just put out today =D I talk about this a bit more using a few other examples of enemies that do this kind of thing. I too think its such a great part in playing horror games.
I see what you mean about the castle in RE8 - no denying it was visually stunning and had a great atmosphere. I think that's why I felt frustrated at times not being able to explore it fully at my own leisure. And yeah, that fetus thing... genuinely had me up at night thinking about it!!
Glad you enjoyed the video anyway and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and such a nice comment!
@@TheWintersGate Thanks for your reply! Im just about to go to sleep but I’ll watch it tomorrow!
Man that's just Wild hahahaha but hey, to each their own. Re 8 is in the bottom list for me, only better than re 6 and re 3 remake (from the main títles, of course)
@@liszt646 RE8 is no longer my favourite, re4 remake came out and just blew every other resident evil game away to me, 3 remake deserves better imo but as I'm currently replaying I do definetely agree with what most people say about it being much too short! I got to the sewers in an hour and I wasn't even trying to rush it!! But it plays fantastically and pulling off a prfct dodge feels so good
Hey, love the video. Maybe you can turn the mic volume up just a little. That would make the experience even better :D
Thanks for the tip! I know I’m quite quiet, especially during the Resi 6 part but that’s because I had to rerecord a bunch of stuff. Valuable feedback for the next vid though - cheers. Thanks for commenting!
@@TheWintersGate oh I just realized is this like your first video? Or at least the only one I can find. No problem. Definitely a good start for your channel!
The Winterses' duology is pretty low on the list for someone named "WintersGate"
😂😂 great comment. Didn’t even think of that. Pure coincidence though, its an album title 😉
@@TheWintersGate Insominum?
Starsssss
0 in front of village is wild
I like to live on the edge
I feel like I'm one of the only people that actually enjoyed RE 3 Remake, but still I think this was a solid ranking, nice job man
Youre Not and i liked it too, it Maybe isnt a long or very Scary Game But if You want to just Speedrun or want to have a Short But still nice Resident evil experience then it is a very good game, its for me kinda like Jurassic Park 3, if You dont have much Free time to play a game that is 7-10 hours long then RE3 Remake is good since it is Small But still a funny Resident evil experience and i did never played the Original But i See the Remakes more like as there own games and Not as something that would replace the original games and if you ask me, i really loved the City Part, the Hospital and the Nest 2 Lab since those are Creepy and in some Way still Resident evil moments in its own Way, this is at least how i See the RE3 Remake and for me it isnt a Perfekt Resident evil but also FAR AWAY of being the Worst game
Fair points made, thanks for the discussion!
As a stand-alone game, its half decent and there’s plenty to enjoy. My issue is that where RE1, RE2 and now RE4 have been faithful remakes (to a point) Resi 3 is missing so much and feels like a wasted opportunity. Thanks for commenting!!
@@TheWintersGate But dont Worry there is always a Way to fix Things in the Future, if the Fans scream loud engouth then they will Listen, also should they never Remake anything on the Game, there is always a Chance that those games get a remake in the future too much like the Originals
Your channel has one video and it's this one? Just subscribed, good luck!
Thanks for subbing!
First comment on this account; Loved the video! While I may disagree with some of your rankings, I really enjoyed your list. Earned a sub
Awesome, thanks so much for subscribing. All good with disagreeing - that's what I like about the series, everyone likes different games for different reasons and that's great!
Finally.... someone who acknowledges that Doggy nemesis is completely ridiculous.
I know, right? Makes no sense and such a lazy, generic boss design especially to then replicate the exact same fight later in the game.
The original variations were so much better, and there was actual strategy to the fights i.e., using the environment etc. rather than…. Here, dodge Dog Nemesis and his body slam!
Thanks for commenting
Solid list, where would you put Code Veronica? It's part of the main series too! Also, 6 above 5? Based as hell
Probably around the midway point somewhere, but I never played it enough to really justify including it. Hope they remake it..
This actually might be one of if not my favorite rankings, very solid picks and given good explanations for your opinions, while i may not agree with 6 being above 5 and 7 not being higher on the list, that's fine it's an opinion after all.
Thanks for commenting and being so understanding! They are indeed just opinions, and I’ve been enjoying the responses seeing how people rank their own experiences with the games!
Awesome video man, one tip I want to give you (feel free to take it or not) is to up a little the volume of your voice, sometimes feel a little low. Besides that, you got yourself a new subscription.
(Sorry for the bad English I'm from Argentina)
Thanks for the comment dude. Not bad English at all! I appreciate the feedback - I realise I was very quiet so have tried to fix this in the video I posted a few hours ago. Hope that’s better and you enjoy that vid too! Thanks for subscribing too, means a lot. Salud!
Enjoyed this video. Was very happy to see the top three pick. You have RE 4 high. I’ve never liked it myself. But hay. I’m probably the only one. Just a wondered. Where would you put RE CV? I’d have that high
Resident evil 4 remake is by my far favorite remake ever made
I’ll get to it soon enough don’t you worry!
As someone who has not played 6 7 or 8 I agree with the list
7 is worth a go - Village is worth it for a few key sections but 4 remake has made it pretty insignificant I would say if I’m being overly harsh. Thanks for commenting on this video too!
Great list, Resident 1 Remake is the perfect survival horror game. And the best version of Jill. As for Resident Evil 8, yes, I agree with the whole castle being disappointing. I wanted to explore it, but it felt rushed. And I hated the whole Chris section at the end of the game.
Agreed on Resi 1! The castle in Resi 8 was a wasted opportunity indeed. Every time you really felt like you might be able to wander around properly you were whisked away to another area via a cutscene. I didn't mind playing as Chris but that was because I wasn't fully invested in the game due to its flaws and I appreciated the chance to just do a bit of mindless shooting.
Thanks for commenting!
Good ranking, I know this is numbered only but i was surprised code Veronica wasn't in there :(
I never played much of it to be totally honest but wish I had. Thanks for commenting!
@@TheWintersGate maybe one day capcom will release a remake :)
Great video! I like how you managed to even find positives and enjoyment out of games like RE 5 and 6. Personally I would rank my top 10 as:
1.Resident Evil Remake (go figure)
2.Resident Evil Village (yes, Really)
3.Resident Evil 4 2005 and the Remake
4.Resident Evil 7
5. Classic Resident Evil 1, 2, and 3
6.Resident Evil 2 Remake
7.Resident Evil 0 (this one is underrated)
8.Resident Evil 5.
9.Resident Evil 3 Remake
10. Resident Evil 6
Thanks for the comment! Yours is also a great list. On its own, Village is a decent game, but when compared to other entries, especially older ones, that's when I find it lacking. Totally agree that 0 is underrated too. I can genuinely find positives in all the games .. even RE3 remake, although it was hard to put my personal bias aside for that one :D
This is interesting because I did a similar thing and my list is almost entirely different lol!
Is it on your channel? If so I will check it out! That's what I love about the series though, lots of people like different games for different reasons, there is no right or wrong and it is great hearing everyone's opinions and arguments for / against the various entries. Thanks for commenting and getting involved!
@@TheWintersGate No, but you've inspired me and I'm probably going to make one in the coming weeks :)
Glad 6 got abit more love than it normally does 👍
Just for fun for me its (in order of worst to best) 0, 5, 6, 4, rev 1, rev 2, 2 og, 3 og, 1, village. 2remake, 3 remake, 4, 7
I feel the re series can have so many games is because every game is basically in a different genre done more action or horror focus so people will have very different rankings depending on what type of game they like
Very true. I think that's what I love about it, people like the series for different reasons and era's and it makes for some great discussion. Thanks for sharing!
My biggest problem is that.
RE1 Remake - is a remake.
RE4 Remake - is a remake.
Why is RE2 and RE3 couldn't be remakes ?
I don't want any Reimagined games that has nothing to do with the originals.
I just don't understand why would they do this. but i guess, they think that it's old, and many people won't like it.
But I don't want that, i don't wan't a mass product that is digested for me, and presented to me as a comfort food.
Oh well, at least there's Signalis that actually is a really good og RE game.
You should check it out.
I've always loved listening to other people stories and opinions about the resident evil series.... But surprised you didn't mention code Veronica 🤔
This has come up in the comments a few times, understandably. While I played bits of it, I never finished it for some reason - it was a game that kinda passed me by. Should have included it really being part of the main series. Maybe I'll revisit it sometime in the future. Thanks for taking the time!
@@TheWintersGate CV hasn't aged very well but it still is the best RE as a RE game
Good video
Thanks for the visit! 😊
I love how in resident evil 7 Jack felt a bit like Nemesis or MR X
Me too. He makes actual Nemesis in RE3 remake look like a yappy puppy. Don’t get me wrong I love puppies but not in Resident Evil.
For me
The closest ones to perfect
1. RE4R
2. RE2R
3. RE1R
Some of my favourites but they have flaws that keep it from the top tier
4. RE5
5. RECV
6. RE8 Village
7. RE3:Nemesis
8. RE4
Good
9. RE3 Remake (what's there is good but it's missing the clocktower, the park, uptown and the live selections)
10. RE7 (3rd act is the weakest in the franchise imo)
Decent but could have been better (with revelations it's a budget issue)
11. Revelations 1
12. Revelations 2
13. RE0
Don't like
14. RE6
Currently playing through the original 2 games. So can't rank them yet.
My 2 favourites and my 2 least favourites are pretty set in stone while the rest of the list changes around sometimes.
Interesting list! Appreciate you sharing. I can see where you're coming from. RE7 definitely fizzled out towards the end after such a strong opening. Agree with Revelations too, both are alright but they don't feel polished or fully finished. Thanks for commenting !
_"A grand total of 3 or 4 people who will end up watching this video..."_
*checks the view count*
Right...!
EDIT: I hope you put RE4 Remake in this scale for us to see how you would rank that entry against all these!
Haha. I didn’t expect it to get this much interest but I’m really grateful for all the comments. I plan to review Resi 4 and I will reference this list and see if it takes top place or not. Thanks for getting involved!
Oh, I'm in number 9 but I'm already loving this.
to the low quality audio but high quality speech, the like to dislike ratio isn't too split but not too agreeable.
this looks like the first video on the channel (maybe there were more idk). Let's resume the video now.
First video and I recorded it with kit I had lying around the house! I’ll try and improve the audio somehow. Thanks for the input!
The main difference I have with the ranking is that I would put re6 at the bottom, and bump re5 and RE3 remake up a spot. Jake’s campaign was so much of a downgrade from Chris and Leon that I had to put the game down, and I never ended up finishing re6
Fair comment dude. Thanks for getting involved!
i love classic RE more personally, so I rank the old games higher in my list. I've played enough Call of Duty to know a Michael Bay ripoff when I see one, and that's how I feel about RE5 and RE6. There's almost no reason for me to play those. But the original RE games from RE1, RE2 & RE3: Nemesis; they truly are the quintessential survival horror games and combined with great escape-room-like puzzles, and iconic characters like Leon, Billy, Rebecca, Jill, the Redfields, Wesker, Nemesis, Birkin, etc. that's what makes Resident Evil so great imo.
Michael Bay ripoff is a very accurate description lol. Thanks for commenting!
The thing about RE3 remake that bothers me the most is that... it had the most to gain from added content and yet it suffered from the most removed content out of all the remakes. It should have been the most incredibly open world RE game to date, yet somehow, there's less linearity in RE4 Remake which is a game that didn't even need the backtracking but added it anyways to improve the product. How do you take the most ICONIC zombie location in all of zombie history, Raccoon City, and not expand it fully into a huge town? Even the intro to RE2 Remake was completely dumbed down and removed that sense of need for shelter... the shelter that turned to ashes in your mouth when you realized the police station was no sanctuary.
And having Carlos appear immediately at the start of the game took away from the shock and awe of finding ANYONE else alive, as much of RE3 original had you completely isolated in a dead town as the only survivor. And again RE4 Remake added stealth, which would have made such a huge impact if it was in RE3 Remake. Hiding from Nemesis would have made for absolutely riveting gameplay. It's horribly depressing that the intro sequence of the game had the best looking Raccoon City locations and yet you essentially just run through them with no combat between 20 different segmented cutscenes. All of Uptown being turned into a cutscene/walking simulator was just... well it pretty much ruined what could have been my favorite game ever made.
Jill searching people's apartments and storefront as Nemesis prowled the rainy streets of Raccoon City would have been absolutely the greatest ZOMBIE game ever made. The streets filled with hordes of zombies, shaded by skyscrapers, with lickers climbing alongside buildings and the sounds of the dead hanging on the air... even a day/night cycle would have been amazing to add, depending on how long the player was taking. These things would have all made sense within the limits of the story. But instead we got essentially an arcade mode of RE2 Remake with 3 streets, barricades blocking off what could have been non-linear sections (like to Stagla Gas Station and Kendo's shop which really didn't need to blocked off), and finally completely cut sections and boss fights with some of the worst writing in the series.
It's obvious they changed things last minute, like how they look for Bard at the police station for no reason only to find a message of him that would conveniently place him at the exact hospital Jill needed to be treated at later. I have a video on RE3's cut content, you should check it out.
Thanks for the insight, really great points. Couldn't agree more - it feels like RE3 remake was SUCH a missed opportunity and that's why it's such a crushing disappointment. 'Arcade mode Resident Evil' is a great description.
If they just did the same thing with Nemesis as they did with the Tyrant in RE2 (following you round) for longer than a 10 minute section and then faithfully recreated key environments from the original RE3 with an expanded, open world element, it would have been incredible. The police station was even worse, because it was just rinse and repeat from RE2 remake. Sure, you went back to the RPD in the original RE3 Nemesis too, but the difference was, you felt it was a relatively safe and familiar place, until the Nemesis randomly smashed through the window and could actually chase you through doors. Totally different experience of the same location. The only difference in RE3 remake is that...you play as Carlos not Jill. Great.
I think you're right that they probably changed things last minute, its so obvious the game was rushed out to capitalise on the success of RE2. Really poor form from Capcom / whoever led the project.
Great to hear about the video - I will definitely check that out. Thanks for the comment. Also, if you haven't seen Under the Mayo's review of RE3 remake you should, it is very theraputic =D
Ok the thumbnail is misleading.
Nice videomontage and good review for RE 5 and 6 allthough i would add that while Leons scenario had more horror elements from previous games, Sherry Birkin/Jakes scenario had that stalker element also from previous games
Very true on the stalker element, they were all scripted sequences though but agree that it was nice they put it in, getting chased by a single enemy was cool especially as he showed up in the other campaigns too. Thanks for commenting!

After beating re3 remake 10 times, I'm still trying to play it on hard difficulties to see if I really like or not this game.
At the moment, I still find good, but it's so much better playing my beloved re2 remake and REmake that I can't see why playing this one.
Re6 used to be my favorite resident evil game before I tried re1 and before re2 even exist. Now I kinda feel it so boring, probably because of the insanely amount times I beat it. Leon's campaing was the least I liked, maybe because it's the "horror" one in a straight action game. I still like the melee combat by the way. Because of it, I still enjoy the mercenaries.
Still haven't watched the entire video, but I'd like to share this thoughts here. Sorry if I make any text mistake.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts so far! Great to hear other people's opinions and feelings about the series. I can see what you mean about Leon's campaign being a bit out of place amongst the rest of it. Its like it was thrown in as a bit of fan service. RE6 tries to please everyone and didn't really pull it off.
Hey, someone else who prefers RE7 over RE8. It seems to be a pretty rare opinion I feel like, but I just wasn't a fan of 8's focus on action compared to 7's focus on survival horror
Totally agree. I felt the FPS approach worked better in the slow paced, smaller, creepy Baker estate. Back to basics and a 'less is more' approach, rather than 8 which went back to, OK let's just cram loads of stuff in and hope it all works. Thanks for commenting.
I loved RE5. RE3 remake wasn't the OG but I liked it still. RE6 was AWFUL imo. I still don't remember what happened just suffered finishing it.
"We dont know where barry is?"
Great video let me know if you need an editor!!
All good for now, but thanks for the offer! I'll let you know. Glad you enjoyed the vid 👊
Unpopular opinion I think they should remake resident evil 1 with unlimited save games
I would love to see a RE1 remake in the FPS style of RE7. That would be epic. Technically, on easier modes, you can save whenever you want ,due to the abundance of ink ribbons. But you do have to faff around with finding a save room. I think nowadays with modern games, developers definitely have to allow the player to save whenever they want and as many times.

Thanks for the comment! Also a solid list right there. I played both Revelations 1 and 2, and thought they were pretty good, they’d probably be around midway in the list. I might even cover them at some point. Code Veronica potentially too.
RE 4 remake looks incredible, it deserves its own video though 😆 I’ll get to it eventually but have a few other projects in mind first.
@@TheWintersGate Cool take your time. I'm subscribing in anticipation for your review. I'm discovering so many channels through Re4 Remake 😂
@@antviper135 amazing, thanks for the support. There sure are some great channels out there and I’m finding this a good community for discussion / debate!
Based list, based guy.
Uhhh where’s classic re4 and village?
Fun fact about the 2 giants Chris fights they originally planned on doing that with even more in RE5 with them attack the tower around but chose not to idk why it would’ve been cool then just like now
Interesting - didn’t know that! Thanks for the insight
You did my boy Village dirty haha
😂 yeah.. I actually ended up being a bit harsher on it than I had originally intended. I do like it, but as I was playing it right before / after the other entries in the series, I noticed additional things here and there that in my opinion it either got wrong or did with a bit less quality. There’s lots to like though and playing it on harder difficulty is a simple fix for some of the issues I mentioned. Thanks for commenting! 👍
@@TheWintersGate main thing holding it back for me is the bullet damage. RE2’s is top notch
I remember that parts of the RPD in RE2 remake were destroyed and I thought that it was teasing Nemesis. It was lame when he didn’t show up at the police station at all in re3 remake.
Really true and great point. To be honest I wonder if it WAS actually intended to tease Nemesis, but they ended up cutting corners when they remade RE3. It certainly seems like that may have happened. Such a missed opportunity, could have done SO many cool things with it. Thanks for commenting!
Solid ranking though I’m over the whole “RE1 remake is the perfect remake” bit. The fixed camera angles kill it, they never should’ve kept it, otherwise it’d be far superior. I would play any of the RE engine games over this one 🤷🏻♂️ times are changing, you need to adapt. Fixed camera angles are dead.
Agree, it is pretty dated now and the only thing holding it back from being perfect really. I’d love to see a remake of RE1 in the modern style.
I cannot fucking believe 7 isn't #1 let alone top 3. Most horrifying game of the series and easily the best imo. 8 i can kind of see being lower, maybe top 5, but damn. Top 3 should go like 7, re4 remake, re2 remake, Village, 4, Code Veronica, 0, 3/2, 3/2, 1 remake, 1, 6.
Appreciate you’re input! I agree Resi 7 is extremely good, its by far the one I’ve played the most times I would say. Thanks for commenting!
I loved RE5. Me and a friend co-op the whole game and got S rank in every chapter at every difficulty and platniumed that game. It was insanly fun. But I agree, it wasn't particulary scary
Great work! Thanks for commenting
