Which one got you started: Original RE games or Newer RE games?

Maybe the topic name needs to be changed.

Since some people are unable to read the original post, something you should always do in a thread, I think that's a good call.

I was reluctant to do it at first since the original title was already quite long. Oh well, I still spared it.

I don't understand some people sometimes.

I guess I pick newer, mainly because they're a lot easier to jump into.

I like them equally for the most part though. I actually like REmake more than 5 and 6. Of course, I like 4 more than all of them.

So... you got to the series only after playing the newer games?

Right right. I think I remember reading the OP then not posting in the thread immediately after doing so, then much later actually posted in it after forgetting what the true purpose of the thread was. Ma bad.

Yeah, RE4 introduced me.

Really? I'm still surprised since I always thought of you as an old school kind of guy

Hehe, being born in 1995 allowed me to have the best of both worlds.

RE4 first intrigued me when I saw Game Trailers' RE Retrospective and X-Play's Top 10 GC countdown, with RE4 being #1.

After playing through RE4 I was really intrigued by the series and decided to get all of the other games. I think I remember finding out what the deal with Wesker was one of the reasons for my intrigue.

Funnily enough, somecallmejohnny had a very similar RE journey to me.

Whatevs.

RE had caught my attention early on, definately way before RE4, but RE4 was such an excellent addition to the series.

originals all day and night!!! the newer ones are enjoyable but not as scary or as fun as the older games IMO.

i still remember when i was 7 i played RE3 on PC for the first time and today i collect sealed copys of RE 1-3 for PS1, posters and etc to show my love and respect for those classic games

I started with RE2 and fell in love. None of the other games have sparked such passion in me as RE2.

Although I love a lot of the other games, RE2 was just perfect. Great diverse locations: streets -> police station -> sewers -> underground lab. Great story with cutscenes, diverse weapons, diverse enemies, long enough gameplay.

RE1 - mansion is too small.

RE3 - too short, nemesis vs railgun at the end was just stupid. Umbrella building a zombie disposal facility next to Raccoon City park was also dumb.

RE:CV - not scary, 3D environments meant a lack of detail when compared to the old RE games with pre-rendered backgrounds, Story went no where, superpowers were introduced which i thought was stupid.

RE:Survivor - Made me hate first person shooters for years. Voice actor was annoying as hell.

RE:Zero - After the train part it all went downhill. Bored me out of my mind. Same old crap different game.

RE4: Implausible areas: The lake of lava beneath the castle, WTF? I hated the gun fights with weapon wielding ganados. No more item boxes

RE5: Not scary. Pathetic story. Ruined Wesker.

RE:Outbreak 1 & 2: Not enough time for story or reading notes because of your stupid virus gauge. No voice chat with team. Character animations are as slow as snails.

RE:Dead Aim - Chicken-head and Frigid-bitch were stupid characters, after the cruise ship the environments were un-inspiring. Was there a story?

Ya see, it all started ith RE3....that's it. It just the begining of a beautful friendship.

Can't remember if I had posted in here already...in case I did, I will make this short(ish).

Watching the trailers and reading magazine articles is what got me into RE. Many years before playing a single game I was into Resident Evil. I knew the entire story lines for all of the games that had been released, etc. For my eleventh birthday I got the REmake from a friend. I was really looking forward to RE4, so I wasn't really excited when I got it. Boy was I in for a surprise. Hands down was the best game I had ever played, and still is. That was the game that really got me hooked, and kept me hooked.

For me it was the first RE:DC

So, what Voltius is trying to say is that he doesn't really like the series apart from RE2.

As I always say, the first is always the best. I started with the first RE. Been with the series ever since.

Kind of strange one for me. I knew about RE for a while at a very young age, but I didn't understand what was going on (had to do the Sherry reference >.>). But then again, the first RE I played was RE4 so... I guess the newer ones, because I have more fun with them and I as of yet am unable to complete any of the older games.

Despite being only 16 years old, I have started with number 3. Then, the world, and everything in it.

lol, I like them but RE2 is the only one I've fallen in LOVE with.

Every now and then I pop in RE0, play RE1 remake, get chased around by nemesis in RE3, do a speed run in Code Veronica, but RE2 is just my favorite. It's hard for me to find things wrong with it. It's polished.

I played them in this order

RE, 2, Nemesis, CV, 4, 5 and now 6

I have never played any spin off games

I would like to play the remake of RE but the last Nintendo I own was the SNES

Play Survivor, Outbreaks, and Dead Aim. Pretty cool.

I actually started with RE: Director's Cut, then moved in to 2, then 3, then CV, etc... I happened to play them in order XD

You could play the demake of RE on the NES

I played RE2 back in the day and saw a friend play the original RE. I've followed the series through everything since. I was 14 when I started my survival horror quest and I am now 27.

Originals. Director's Cut was my first
