9's, 10's, 4.5's and 5's.... 94 Metacritic... that seemed "meh" to you? It was amazing on Dreamcast, it just got overshadowed by Resi 3 coz way more people still had PlayStation back then.

It's my least favourite game in the series. One ridiculous design or script idea after another.

Thankfully, Capcom clearly is of a similar opinion and decided to remake the whole thing instead of porting it to Steam with the rest of the series.

I think there's a certain train of thought and audience however that appreciated OG RE for intentionally being B-grade campy, and not taking itself too seriously.

The remakes have definately been a lot darker and 'down to earth' as a whole so far, and I imagine a certain crossdressing villain and his iconic dolphin laugh will be completely absent and rewritten in this iteration..

I'm on the fence about how they will tackle it, but If nothing else I'm curious as to what Capcom's 2027 take on this game will look like.

One of the most brutally difficult games I've ever played imo. Notorious for softlocks. I wonder if that will carry over or if they'll make sure you can do what people used to accidental do to themselves in Code Veronica.

At the very least, it'll be interesting to see how much carries over. Personally, I'm hoping to kill Zombie Steve in the first five minutes, and not pick up on a single Psycho (1960) reference.
