Which is the best Resident Evil?

Vivi, I join you in that experience.  My friends were playing it durring that part, and I screamed (it was like 2am) and they started throwing pillows at me.  so all night long after we turned the tv off and we were in the dark, my friends were making zombie noises to piss me off. ^_^ Such nice friends!

Sorry but I have to laugh:laughing:  Nothing personal.
I hate when you have that feeling of something looking at you when you sleep.  I always get that after I play a Resident Evil game.

Heh that\'s ok I laughed when I re-read the post ^_^.  It was creepy!  I still get that when I play RE games.

I also got finished playing Dino Crisis (not to get off topic), that game was pretty good but Resident Evil is still better.  I personally have always been facinated/scared with/of dinosaurs. ^_^

I hope Capcom will port the first 3 on a single DVD.

Thanks for not getting p!ssed off at me Starr.  I have to admit I was worried there for a second.  But I read that and I thought it was funny.  I admit seeing that for the first time was scary, because my brother came in and tapped on my door real LOUD!!  Let\'s just say I was not dry in the front or the back. :shy:

And I didn\'t get a good nights sleep either cause all I could think about is that  zombie standing outside my door.:yawn:

Resident Evil, that being the first one of course, is still the number one RE game created to date.  The atmosphere of it just made the game unbelievably frightening and the overall tone of it just felt so fresh and original.  When you return to the mansion for the second time with the Mansion Key and the hunters present all around, the game just picks up ten-fold in horror.  These suckers can leap and kill you in one hit and it takes LOTS of shot to put them down and with VERY little ammo, you\'re hard-pressed to choose your battles wisely.  When you enter the unexplored areas of the mansion, especially the kitchen with the incredibly eerie music playing in the background, your heart just skips a beat at every zombie moan and hunter foot thump.

I don\'t think there has been an RE game to date that matches it in intensity.  RE2 was just more of a shooter in my opinion with so many different weapons and so much ammo for you to find in every nook and crannie and RE3 followed suit quite dilegently which, in my opinion, is a very bad thing.  Even the ending was incredibly over the top for the series.  I know blowing off a zombies head is fun, but come on, being afraid of running out of ammo has to be a key factor in the game and I never felt threatened by that in any game post the original RE and REC:V is no exception to the point either.

Here\'s hoping that RE4 returns the game to its roots with plenty of undead enemies as well as VERY limited ammo.

Yeah Resident Evil 1 was certainly the hardest of the series. It kept you on your toes with such things as lack or ammo and cooridoors with zombies which must be passed. Also it seems that less zombie bites killed you.

I voted for RE 1 DC. RE 1 was great, but the Directur\'s Cut was a little bit better.

Ryu just hit the nail on the head with his post. That\'s pretty much exactly what I wanted to say, except that I also think that all the games followin RE1 were WAY too over the top to be scarry. It looked more like a comedy of bad hollywood movies than anything freightning.. let alone bring any really new or fresh features to the game which enhance the atmosphere.

On a side note, I\'d also like to think that Resident Evil 1.5 was one of the best. It was originally RE2, but they scrapped it after 80% completion to completely rebuild the game. From the screenshots and info I had heard at the time about it... it looked to be an awesome game fully in the vein of it\'s predecessor. Just between that and the fact that the last 20% uncompleted lets in all the possiblitys, makes it what potentially could have been the best Resident Evil game to date.

Nothing you said was offensive ^_^ either that or I am used to people laughing at me.  Oh well.   My friends mother was playing RE Directors cut and she was scared out of her mind so later when she went to lay down my friend ran to her room and kicked her door open and started making noises I was laughing so hard.  Her mother screamed so loud!  (ahem although so did I )

RE1 was the BEST!

Got it on its first day released, me and my mate hooked up the ps2 connected the Dolby surround system to the tv, got some beers in and Drew the curtains, turned out the lights lit a couple of candles and played all through saturday night till like 8am when the wife got up.

It was the greatest gaming experince ever. the creepines of the sound effects in full surround, the ambience we created with the darkend room lit only by candles, a few drinks, the scary moments in the game (especially the first time them damned dogs burst through the windows made us fly of the chair).

This was the scariest thing out there. we completed 3/4 of the game that nightand it was challengeing and different than anything we had played before.

2 and 3 were just lame additions and couldnt compete in the story or scare factor that was in 1.

But im seriously looking forward to RE:CV

The second one, almost sure

Resident Evil 2 is the best one. There are 4 ways to play it: with Leon, Claire and after playing with one character with Claire and Leon from an other starting point. The atmosphere is brilliant. Resident Evil 3 was boring and it has no good atmosphere and old locations (Police Department)

RE2.

Was much scarier than the first one, IMO.. While I think Code Veronica had  the best plot/puzzles, it only scared me once maybe, or twice. RE2 had me in suspense @ every turn. Then again, I suppose once you play the first 2 REs you already know Capcom\'s tricks, which is kinda disappointing.

You pick up the key, the zombie on the floor next to you slowly gets up, *yawn* ...

- the trick is to keep breathing.

I think the 2nd is the best.
But I had more fun when I played the first one, because it was new and exciting.
