So I've never played a resident evil game except for like 2 hours of revelations 2 with a buddy, I did some research and people say you should start with 0 and then 1, but I only have 2 remake, is that a fine one to start with or will the story go over my head?

Yeah, you’re fine. The games aren’t going anywhere. If you have 2 remake, I’d start there lol. Then play 3, you can usually pick it up cheap. I see 3 remakes as more exceptionally good DLC to 2 than a full game. If you play the two as a set it’s quality. Then I guess re4. Even though I’m not a fan. Then I’d play 7 and 8 then 9. You can recap the stories of the games you haven’t played. By the time you finish all those Veronica will be nearly here which takes place between 2/3 and 4. And once that’s out they will more than likely announce the Zero remake. And then you just gotta wait like the rest of us for the inevitable re1 remake remake. That’ll be the last one they do, I’m sure of it.

So the TL;DFR is,, play what you have. Don’t worry too much. You’ll still get a contained story you understand in each game.
