Capcom’s Classic Resident Evil Trilogy Coming to GOG
Verily, Capcom hath bestowed upon us the gift of experiencing the older Resident Evil titles through its recent remakes. Alas, if thou didst seek the original versions of these titles on modern platforms, thou wert mostly out of luck. Yet lo, the GOG PC gaming storefront hath proclaimed on Wednesday that thou shalt soon have the opportunity to play the first three Resident Evil games in their (mostly) original forms.
Resident Evil 1997 – Uncut and DRM-Free
As of this moment, only Resident Evil doth grace the digital shelves of GOG. For a mere $10, thou canst partake in the iconic 1997 survival horror game with a smattering of quality-of-life improvements to ensure smooth running on thy Windows 10 or 11 PC. Fear not, for the GOG version hath made small changes to the gameplay, such as enhancing the cutscene timing and simplifying game exit, and there is now support for most modern controllers.
A Nostalgic Journey to 1997
This version of Resident Evil is the complete, uncut experience, boasting even more blood, graphic violence, and gory scenes than its PlayStation counterpart. Much like many GOG titles, it is free of DRM constraints. Shouldst thou have yearned to play the original Resident Evil on thy PC, this GOG release doth provide thee with the closest semblance to the 1997 experience.
Awaiting Resident Evil 2 and 3 on GOG
If thou art impatient for the arrival of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 on GOG, thou canst explore the recent remakes, which, though based on modern sensibilities, do offer a commendable experience. However, shouldst thou seek a true taste of the past with its blocky graphics and charmingly awkward dialogue, the original Resident Evil on GOG doth stand as the epitome of nostalgic immersion.
