- With the upcoming release of Resident Evil: Village, we got thinking about which entries we thought were the best. Are you a big proponent of the new direction that Resident Evil 7 took? More of an old school fan of the PS1 classics? Perhaps you think the series is at its best in the recent remakes such as Resident Evil 2 (2020)? Whatever your preference, there's no doubt the series has had some huge highs and a few pitiful lows, and we're here to rank them all! Here is Every Resident Evil Game Ranked From WORST To BEST!
This is a re-upload! Following an issue with TH-cam, we decided to pull and then re-release this video. Apologies for the inconvenience!

What a relief! I stopped halfway through the video on Sunday evening and thought I’d dreamed the whole thing when I tried to find it in my viewing history yesterday! Thought I was going mad ...
Y
Thanks for clarifying. Thought I was hallucinating.
What was the issue BTW? Do tell!
Awesome, just means I get to watch it twice ;)
Gotta love when Capcom puts a locked door at the beginning of an RE game and you don't get to unlock the door until you have played over 5 hours and it just leads to a useless area that helps you back track faster.
Eh,it's a living 🤷
Resident Evil 1 Remake will be 20 years old next year... and the graphics still hold up as if the game was made this year. Somehow. I'm convinced Capcom made a deal with the devil to get REmake to look so good.
I'd love to see them use prerendered 4k backgrounds for a new game. Pre-rendered backgrounds, them basically just being images so the hardware could put all of its focus on the character models, were the biggest player in making this game beautiful.
And other Remakes was better if they was maintained the graphics of RE1 in 2002 instead to push that re engine and removing all the assets from the previous games, they will never release an decent remake anymore.
Oddly enough haters used to hate on the 2002 RE's usage of pre-rendered backgrounds like "oh but those aren't real graphics, fully 3D environments are superior."
Im amazed they didnt use the same tech for other remakes. I mean RE2R and RE3R are good in their own rights but they seem like shorts compared to RE1R which is a full gaming experience.
@@MikeWilsonBarrett they also said an excuse: "oh but the original has the same lenght so" but clearly these Devs didnt understand nothing.
The reason that the fanbase wanted a Remake of the classic its because we wanted an "expanded" version of the original game like RE1, its not only about the graphics view, but these new dev just created an "modernized" version of the classic games...
RE Remake still looks AMAZING to this day
I really am interested in trying it now! I put it off far to long.
@Black Privilege yeah easily the best re for me
The graphics are indeed still great. The frame rate, not so much.
@@ryleighrage what are you playing on
Game Cube had amazing graphics. Look at Twin Snakes and Metroid. I’m shocked how much better it looks then my own PS2 from back in the day.
It's crazy how Mikami and his team were responsible for both the greatest third person shooter of all time (RE4), and the greatest survival horror game of all time (RE1 remake). Two games with different design philosophies and yet they both nail everything they set out to do.
I also saw his name on Monster Hunter World's credits as one of the environment designers. What a madman
@@SchradeDemise That's probably an another guy with the same name lol
@@BadAssMacmillan i wouldn't bet on it knowing that they're both Capcom games, and i can feel the map twists around much like RE map design
Resident evil 4,5 and 6 are resident evil action, not horror
@@SchradeDemise Mikami doesn't work with Capcom anymore so I doubt it's him.
Resident Evil 3 not even in the top 10 is a crime
It literally is wtf
It might be just a personal opinion, but seeing the original RE3 that low in the list, below Revelations 1 and 2, is a crime.
Game was a bit short but revelations weren't even better than 6, better at horror but gameplay not even close
@@aidant6020 late on this one but resident evil 6 makes gears of war seem like the least clunky game ever made. 6 was a complete shit show in the gameplay department. It had some funny cut scenes but cmon
100%
Ah, yes, the 1993 classic Resident Evil 3, which somehow, strangely, pre-dated the first Resident Evil game by 3 years?
They were inspired by George Lucas
Darn, I'm a year too late to point that out...
Re3 nemesis isn’t even in the top ten here? Seriously?
People forget that game was received pretty poorly at the time. A lot of people also either weren't around when it released (a lot lie that they were) and complain about the the exact things in the remake that people complained about when the original launched.
@@klebyell Thats bullshit and you know it.
truly shows how diverse this series is, put a bunch of Resi fans in a room to rank the series and you probably won't have any similar list....
True, I actually enjoy Re6 but you’d think it was the worst game ever made if you listened to most resident evil fans
@@Mariowizard9 i certainly think it is the worst
@@umairashraf5167 I certainly love being in the bottom .00000001% enjoying re6 😂 it's my guilty pleasure
@@mcdonaldsmanager6976 well if that's the hill you wanna die on , your choice lol
@@mcdonaldsmanager6976 honestly RE6 was my introduction to the series and even after playing far better titles, RE6 is one I replay the most.
The original RE3 was ranked far too low in my opinion. To this day, Nemesis remains one of the best monsters in the series, Raccoon City is one of the most memorable locations and the branching story paths were really unique and greatly increased the replay value.
And even though the remake fell short in many areas, I still thought it was more fun than you made it sound.
The graphics of the RE3 remake with the atmosphere, narrative and Nemesis of the original would be the best horror game ever
@@YeTism Agreed. The remake was fun, but it could have and should have been so much more.
I agree that Re3 was ranked far too low.
@@YeTism if they went with the same direction as they did with RE 1 remake it would;ve been the greatest
@@YeTism and gameplay of the original or at least re4s thank controls. Re2 and 3 remakes controls were so generic.

Code Veronica was such a sleeper hit. It’s my favorite game of the classic RE games.
Re1 is so classic but they need to keep it goin and re make Code V and part 1.
@@joechicago9762 agreed
It needs a remake
The original resident evil is and will always be my favorite but code veronica is my #2.
CV > all. simply the best of the series
Most people don’t understand why I was so excited when I saw this in my recommended.
11:53 Now THAT is BS. Resident Evil was always a series that was hard to take seriously. RE1's voice acting is memed to this day and RE4 clearly didn't take itself seriously. Resident evil and absurdity are no strangers to each other
THANK YOU. Resident Evil was never a overly serious game series.
The "RE6 is corny so it's bad" argument is so overplayed, tired and blatantly false.
Imo there ARE serious parts of the story. And I kind of thought they meant like "it used to take itself serious" as a horror franchise more though. Where as 6, didn't really even try overall, and that's kind of where it fails.
@@CrazeeAdam If we go by that line of thinking, then re6 was never the first time the franchise started to take itself less seriously as horror franchise, as if that's inherently an offensive thing to do anyway. Re4 is a prime example of a game that took a big step in that direction.
Re6 does try to have some horror. And even if it didn't, it doesn't matter because it is a resident evil game with many merits for what it is.
REmake is top 5 GAMES of all time. Just a masterpiece.
Calm down bucko
@@brucewayne4137 but he’s right
@@Penguin1569 nope
Bought it for $15 bucks and regretted it. Outdated game design and horrible controls. Re2 remake is the true masterpiece

I've posted this exact video before. But I haven't done it in a way TH-cam didn't complain about...
It's a crime this comment doesn't have like 1k likes
What’s worse is they had every opportunity to throw it in, given circumstances
I’m not sure if RE7 was properly rated or underrated, I feel like the internet has really mixed opinion on it. I just know that RE7 for me was incredible
The best VR experience for me, easily.
Some very weird fans say "it's not a REAL RE game", I'd argue it's more of an RE game than RE6, RE5 and even the Revelations games despite those games having more main characters and some usual tropes. But RE is a horror franchise based on survival. And that's what RE7 and RE8 are. And they end up being pretty core parts of the overall story in the end too. But yeah that's why I think. And regardless what nay sayers think, RE7 saved the series in the end. Without it we wouldn't get the shiny remakes we have now or the great RE8
@@CrazeeAdam how tf are people saying re7 is not a real re game and then going on to praise re4 i mean i like re4 but 7 embodies the original re's way more
Why does his voice get more gravelly at the end of his sentences lol
I don’t disagree RE 6 had problems but you said it “achieves what little it sets out to do” and then ten seconds later “it tries to do too much” does it try to do too much or not enough lol
Yes
You realize both of those statements can be true at the same time right?
It’s extremely awkward writing and makes an unclear statement
@@ninja_tony Not really, no
@@thomasdascombe4939 It implies it reached it's goal of setting out to do too much/
I'm happy to see Resident Evil: Code Veronica so high up in this list.
Same, I remember being blown away by the intro
I’m pretty sure someone commented the exact thing on the first upload, you tryna get them extra likes tho👁getting them code Veronica cult members which I would like to join but could never find their contact line. Decided to go north and see the lands for myself. Shit was exploding, I was in the middle it. I am a wizard
@@FrozenStarFish Yes, that someone was me...
@@Highretrogamelord I didn’t know if it was or not lol but I was just joking with you homie. I do need to find that CV cult tho
@@FrozenStarFish Alright.
(We have regular meetings on Mount Fuji, but you have to find a secret passageway first to get to our base)
The one saving Grace for survivor 1 is that the tyrant at the end of the game is probably the coolest tyrant of the ps1 era. With the long tongue and bulky ape body it really did look the best of them imo.
Resident Evil 2 on N64 was my very first resident evil game . I'm so glad it and it's REmake are hailed as two of the best in the series. I feel like a proud parent.
I watched the original earlier. Is TH-cam going to arrest me?
When are we getting a James Bond list, guys (or girls!)?
WE GOT IT
I know but we hadn’t three months ago when I asked. 😁
Yo, Resident Evil 4 AND 5 are masterpieces in their own right. Please don't sleep on RE5 because it's action oriented, it's hilarious and absurd, but that's why it's fuckin awesome (That's also basically why RE4 is awesome too, but it just has a bit more spooky feel).
The bad of re5 is when you play in Profesional mode and Sheva dies easily
@@AndreLandauro Ok yes I agree, when you mention that aspect the game is horrible 😂
RE5 is so under appreciated.
It's not bad for sure. It's actually really good. I'd rate it above the Revelations games actually, but not too much else ahead of it. It's good, but not quite RE7, RE8, RE2 good.
I loved Dead Aim. And both Outbreaks.
I remember digging the title screen music on Dead Aim a lot. And come to think of it, Outbreak's too. Especially Outbreak's. It makes you feel horror, and then it transitions to a sense of safety then back to maybe aware not out of this yet....
I’m glad REmake is #1. I love RE4 but I don’t see how it can be the best Resident Evil game when its so different from the rest of the franchise. REmake is Resident Evil in it’s purest and most refined form.
Yes resident evil 1 remake still the best resident evil game ever
Just in every Resident Evil game there has to be a zombie girl with a red tank top and shorts.
It’s even in dbd now
Wonder if she's based off of someone? Like maybe staff member or something at Capcom. But yeah. Usually there is that model
Ah yes, the 1993 Resident Evil 3, that came out 3 years before Resident Evil 1. Must have been such a weird time to live in when the 3rd game in the series releases first.
100% true. It’s like Star Wars

Lol I had to look twice😂
Great list boys!
Made me buy Resi 1 Remake on the PS Store.
Loved watching the PSRUK Playthrough Ben and Ben did of it years ago so maybe it’s about time I give it a try myself.
Keep it up, guys!
I’m happy that code veronica, is number 5 on this list it’s usually ranked lower on other lists. I think code veronica has a soft spot in my heart because it’s the first resident evil I beat that was old school.
It's still one of my favorites as well, and it really is underrated. I know everyone is desperate for a RE4 remake, but I really wish we would get a proper Code Veronica remake first (I doubt it will happen, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed).
Knowing this channels past ranking videos, I was expecting to see RE Survivor in the top 5 lol
Loved the flatulent elephants part hahah
Man i used to love operation raccoon city. Would play it for hours
Bro same
It’s funny for my age group we were in middle school when Resident Evil 5 came out and we loved it cause it had the “cool factor”. I vaguely remembered 4 on the game cube but 5 (also the movies) was what got me and a lot of kids into the series. Now as adult I enjoy all of the originals and it’s lore. So I guess it all worked out haha
Same here, as a young kid I loved five for the co op with my buddies, these days I've grown to love every one of the earlier main games for different reasons. The series as a whole is just gangbusters imo
Lemme guess. RE 4 is number 1?
Edit: Holy shit. A Resident Evil countdown that doesn't have RE4 or Leon Kennedy at number 1.
it broke my heart to see but at least he thought it was the number 1 spot
RE4 isn’t as good as everyone says it is.
@@badground3534 well why not?
@@conspiracy_0011 well for a few reasons. The quick time events are annoying and stupid. It’s not scary. If timed right you can round house kick your way through the game. The story is kinda stupid.
But I don’t hate the game it’s fun to play it’s just not the masterpiece every says it is
@@badground3534 I agree 100,000% on the quick time events I really hope they get rid of those in the remake as well as in EVERY GAME MADE FROM NOW ON
My comment from the other video:
I'm happy to see RE6 so low. As for RE5, I mostly like it for Wesker. He is just a great villain in this game and has so many cool lines.
Wow. This list is identical to mine. I couldn't agree more with everything. Great video.
The Mercenaries 3D (3DS game), was patched to start an all new game later on. I still play it every now and again, like at the doctor's office in the waiting room. More of a guilty pleasure now
I'm surprised anybody in general still plays a DS
Pretty accurate list but 2 minor corrections.
1st: RE3 Nemesis should be 2-3 places Higher and Moira can defend herself in RE: Revelations2, Just Not with guns
I actually like the 2020 Resident Evil 3 Remake. I think it's extremely well made. Sure, I agree that alot of the original contents were cut/missing, but what's there is awesome nonetheless. I'm glad it has only a couple of DLCs. It's more of a full game than most games released in the last fifteen years. I hope the next remakes will have more contents not cut out and still be able to be different and the same at once.
Other than having an inferior gore engine, it was just as good as the RE2 remake, which also cut a ton of content.
I'm new to the community but I can already tell there's going to be some ridiculous fan discourse for me to take in. Like yeah, I can totally tell why RE3 is a somewhat disappointing remake compared to RE2 but come the heck on. It's clearly an excellent game, no way is it worse than games like outbreak, umbrella chronicles and the like. It's slightly worse than 2 which makes it slightly worse than the best of the best. You have to be extremely biased to score it that low, i get being salty but come on.
Had this on my watch later list and now it's been reuploaded. At least now I am visibly reminded it exists and can watch it
I admire that you didn’t just play it safe with this list but... *HUH!?*
I am at 22 so far and I just want to say I love being a gamer. So do not take my card away for this but I actually loved operation raccoon city.
It’s not a bad thing, some people say that’s their guilty pleasure game
@@FrozenStarFish thanks mate. Also wats your fave res game? Mine is defs the original 3 nemesis but 7 was really good too.
@@252lg so I might have to say resident evil 4 is my favorite but my the original resident evil 2 and REmake are close seconds for me. I did play resident evil 4 first outta all of them when I was young asf on GameCube, also I resident evil 3 nemesis is the next game I’m playing after I beat silent hill 3. I’m ready asf, that’s the only mainline RE game I haven’t played yet except for 8 but I did love 7 and I’m hella excited for 8
I dont know... i think there is a bit too much nostalgia goggles here. Re remake was great, yes, but i cant agree that was a more fun and memorable experience than re7 and re2 remake.
Re7 is trash.
RE7 sucked hard, no idea why people like that first person outlast + Texas chainsaw massacre ripoff
I enjoyed watching this on Sunday and I'm going to watch it again. This was fantastic!
My favorite one is still RE4, then RE2 remake, RE1 remake, RE5, RE6. These are the only ones that I have. RE5 and RE6 aren't good Resident Evil games but I like them for co-op.
Not bad. But the original RE3 beats out the RE2 remake by a lot. Obviously not graphics-wise, but storyline and overall atmosphere of the gm
You musst play RE 2&3 Original, they are a lot better than the Remakes. 9.5 and 9.0/10
Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica are very good too. 8.5/10 both
RE4 Original and Remake are very good Games. 8.5/10
RE2 Remake is very good too. 9.0/10
RE Revelations 1&2 are both good. 7.5/10 both
RE3 Remake and Operation Raccoon City are solide Games. 6.5/10 both
BTW: There is no RE1 Remake only a Remastered with a few new Rooms and features and better graphic but both Versions are very very good. RE1 Original 9.5/10 and RE1 Remastered 10/10.
I really not like Resident Evil 5 and 8. Good Games but that is not my beloved RE anymore. 7.5 and 8.0/10
RE7 too much hiding and run away from the enemy. That was more a horror game with jump scares than a RE horror survial Game. There was also no RE-Feeling. 6.0/10
RE6 is not a good game 4.5/10
love the code veronica, the Ashford family story was... interesting to say the least
Code Veronica is underrated, though the controls are a pain in the ass to learn
@@McSnezzly but if youve played the previous versions you would atleast know how to tank controls
1996 original still the best for me. Clearly should have made top 5.

@@chriscallahan5699 I've got RE3 at 8 on my list
No way its my top 3.i know it wasnt as grand in scope but the random hunting aspect from nemesis...the opening scene with Brad in front of the police station.The scene with the guy hiding in the trailer with the screams in the background. Absolutely terrifying 20 years ago.was resident evil at its best.
@@chriscallahan5699 It's a good game. But can't break into my top 7, which are the same top 7 as this video, just in a different order.
@@chriscallahan5699 heres my top 8
8/Resi 3 Nemesis
7/Resi 7
6/Resi Code Veronica
5/Resi 2 Remake
4/Resi 2
3/Resi 4
2/Resi 1 Remake
1/Resi 1
Resi 4 goes up and down my list, it's such a fun game, but isn't really a Resi game in many ways. I am also a massive Code Veronica fan boy
The only resi list that I nearly 100% agree with, I would have put code veronica higher than the 2 remake but other than that absolutely solid. 2002 REmake isn’t just the best resident evil, it’s actually the finest remake of any game ever, no other game has managed to keep a game grounded to its original roots but at the same time overhauling it completely. Absolute magic
Absolutely agreed man. The 2002 Remake is the best remake of any game ever. And it's nice to see Code Veronica getting some love as well, I have probably played it the most of any of the "old school" games in the series, and it really is overlooked too much.
I mostly agree or at least don't have an issue with these rankings....EXCEPT RE 3 so deserves a top ten spot. Should have switched with 0 imo. But, since RE 3 was the first one I finished on my own I'm probably biased....but it is still better than 0.
Yeah, definitely 3 over 0, just the backtracking that you need to do for ditching item boxes alone makes it more of a slog.
So a couple things....yes Resident Evil 1 Remake looked amazing then, still looks amazing now, and is fantastic, but I can’t give it the top spot. I would definitely say it’s in the top 3 though. The top spot in my opinion goes to Resident Evil 2. They took what was awesome about the original, refined it, and turned out to be the quintessential game in the series, and happens to be one of my favorite games of all tim. It’s nice to see that someone agrees with me on Code Veronica. Definitely is a top 5 title no doubt, and looks and plays great on the awesome Dreamcast. Now for the controversial opinion...I just don’t think Resident Evil 4 belongs that high, and I’m really not sure why so many people think that it does. Let me say this though, by no means is it a bad game. Quite the opposite actually, I think it’s a really good game. However, when it comes to being a Resident Evil game....it’s just really not. It’s mentioned in this video how RE5 and 6 aren’t really RE games, but somehow people seem to let RE4 slide on this aspect. It just doesn’t feel or play like one, and just because Leon is in it doesn’t make it one either. Back when it first came out, I was a big, big RE fan, and when I played RE4, I just felt let down that I didn’t get a real Resident Evil game, and at the time I thought it was because of the over the shoulder perspective, the lack of fixed camera angles, etc. However I was wrong about the reason why, as we saw with the RE2 Remake, and to a lesser extent, RE7, it doesn’t need to have those things to be a Resident Evil game, but there is just a mood, atmosphere, play style, sense of dread, and overall feel that makes a Resident Evil game a Resident Evil game, and I think RE4 lacks that. If it was called something else, I would have enjoyed it thoroughly and thought it was a top 20 game for the GameCube. Conversely, I don’t get why RE3: Nemesis is ranked so low, as it’s definitely a top 7 title. It is, first and foremost, a Resident Evil game in every sense. The character of Nemesis took the feeling of Mr. X in RE2 and multiplied it tenfold, leading to some real tense moments, it gave us branching paths instead of an A and B scenario, kept the puzzles, rewarded you with gun upgrades for taking Nemesis down, introduced an interesting gunpowder mechanic, and has the mercenaries mode. Point is, is that RE3 is a Resident Evil game, and a pretty good one at that. Zero is also another one that, when it comes to Resident Evil games, pretty much hits the Mark. It’s at least more of a Resident Evil game then 4 is. This might sound weird, but I think RE4 is a better game than Zero is, but I think Zero is a better Resident Evil game than 4. These are just my opinions from a fan that started playing the original Resident Evil as a 9 year old.
Number one should have been RE4. Rather if it was bad or trash. Its not just for nostalgia reasons but because it was a game that changed gaming and started a whole gaming trend and did so much for gaming. Will I say its my favorite game! No never played it or better yet don't remember playing it. Other Re games may be way more fun agreed. But none were as influential as re4
Games should never be ranked by nostalgia but by the game now or influence.
Well Resident Evil 5 is my favorite game in the series, also Sheva is an underrated character
I commented a dozen times on that first upload! Damn you Al Gore's Rhythms!!!
But as I said in the original, this was a great list lads and I was happy to see that REmake topped the list. It was the game that got me into the series and it more than deserves it's spot on the top of the list!
Keep up the great work!
Great timing on this one! I’m once again requesting a TMNT game ranking video 😅. Lots to make fun of in that lot, but also some iconic titles too!
RE4 gave me the most satisfaction when completing it. That was stressful as shit. Top 3 for me would be RE4, RE2 Remake and Code Veronica X.
Fantastically said guys. Hard to disagree with most of this order, personal preferences aside. You clearly know the series very well and if either of you ever wanted to chat RE on a podcast we'd be thrilled to have you!
I gotta keep it real. RE4 was the game that caused the series to depart from Survival Horror and fully learned into the action-horror. I love RE4, and while there's one or two creepy moments, nothing was scary about it. It completely lacked that tension that was present in the first 3 games.
That's not to say it isn't a benchmark for all 3rd-person shooters and a revolution within the genre. But it really doesn't feel like a RE game to me. It feels like a great game, it just doesn't share enough DNA with its predecessors to feel a part of the series.
In reality there are 3 different RE styles.
* 1-3 and CV was pure survival horror.
* 4-6 is action-horror.
* 7 and 8 are atmospheric survival horror.
Hey, I played 8 like 2 weeks ago and now have gone on a gameathon on Resident Evil Series. 1,2,3,5, Revelations ect and just started playing 4 today for the first time. I can already say 4 is what pushed it into a more action oriented game series. Say what u will about 5 but the game that started it was 4 lol. Literally plays like 5.
@@2000sKidd exactly. I don't think 4 is a bad game by any means, but I will NEVER consider it a real Resident Evil game, because it is missing nearly everything that made the series special in the first place.
In my (controversial) opinion, Revelations 1 not only is a better RE game than 4 but also a much more smooth transition from the oldschool tank controls to modern over the shoulder RE games.
I know it's hard to picture this but just imagine if Revelations 1 was actually 4. It would have all the praise for revolutionizing third person shooters while also being a great traditional game with horror and lots of backtracking and shortcuts.
PS: I really like 4 as a game but as a RE, the entire game after the village falls apart with the weird goofy Salazar, straight up chaotic "COD-like" sequences against dudes with gatling guns and much more. The game does have memorable parts like the first chainsaw guy, the Salazar's bodyguards (was it Verdugos?), the monster in that dropping platform sequence and of course the Regenerators, but as far as horror and anxiety inducing moments go that's about it.
I've only played the first Resident Evil so far. Honestly, though it is very cheesy at times, the horror still holds up at times. I really enjoyed the game and loved the music. I think I found a new franchise to enjoy.
the revelations raid mode is my favorite extra feature , also revelations 2 had objectives and rewards that i would love in other resident evils , re3re would be replayable as hell with a raid mode.
I seems like the clips they showed from RE1 Remake for the GameCube were actually from the PS4 release of it. The way the characters are moving isn't always tank controls, which was an option for the PS4 release.
The Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PC and Switch all have the option to use alternate controls.
To this day, Resident Evil 1 Remake is still the greatest RE to date.
Mikami now what he is doing
@@Mezz007 I'm not sure. He has been quiet for a while.
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 Still doesn't diminish the fact, that it still remains the best Resident Evil. The controls were a major improvement over the original, unless tank controls is your thing. If those characters piss you off, what RE characters do you like?
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 Sounds like you hate the idea of backtracking, which I don't mind. RE4 did have good bosses. U-3, the one in the caves is actually in my top three favourite B.O.W's in the whole franchise. RE4 was good, but the original scrapped concept, looked much better, and unnerving.
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 Well, you're quick to assume. I judge games for what they are, just as much as you. However, if it involves a remake that is unfaithful, then that's when it's a problem.
Resident Evil 3 nemesis is a masterpiece.
Nope
Nope. It's a great game, but people say "masterpiece" so easily.
Agree
I hate that game, worst of the series.
To be honest resident evil revelations 1-2 are amazing in my opinion
These guys know what's up. Their top 3 games are the same as I would choose, and in that order.
RE3 Nemesis is better than REV1, REV2 , and RE0. I was with you until you put it at #11.
imagine a new outbreak game in 2021
RE3 and RE7 are too low on list, RE0 and RE4 are too high
I got really confused when resident evil 2 was at the bottom
I never get tired of hearing people dunk on the RE1 Dual Shock music. It just baffles me how that even happened.
please calm down
just played RE remake for the first time a week ago. it’s incredible how well that game holds up. it was a lot of fun, even as a RE fan that got back into the series with RE7!!
I agree with REmake it is amazing still to this day.
Glad code veronica gets some love! It's Mt favourite RE game.
Think you did OG3 a disservice the way you described it its a great game.
You did 5 dirty though imo, it's a great game, now worse than 4 which is also a massive shift for the series. I love 5
I almost feel like resi 5 should be graded as two different games. Solo? One of the worst games in the series. Co-op? A heck of a lot of fun and would rank pretty high in my list. Sheva was pretty great too. I wish 6 hadn't killed the hope for another co-op entry in the future.
Some of my favorites are 1- (resident evil 5), 2- (resident evil 4), 3- (resident evil dead aim), 4- (resident evil outbreak), 5- (resident evil 2, new version).
I think resident evil outbreak has very memorable characters. I love Dave & Kevin
Looking forward to the newest resident evil 8. I think that game with knock it out of the park! Resident evil 7 was definitely great but re8 looks amazing!
Which resident evil would you recommend? I’m thinking of getting it to play with my friends. Pls let me know.
If you mean you play while friends watch, I think re4 or 8 are good. For co-op, revelations 1, 2, and re6 are fun
RE Gaiden is pretty good considering the console limitations
Could not disagree harder with the placement of Re3make.
I didn't think I would agree with this list but I did. Good job.
Resident Evil Revelations was the game that got me to fall in love with the series.
I think number one shouldve at least been top 5 just on how it started a whole new genre in of itself
Operation Raccoon City is such a fun coop game. I love how the different characters had their own individual weapons and such.
Same
I really liked operation raccoon city as well. I thought that operation raccoon city was better than 5 and 6. A lot of people shit on it, I don't care, I'll say it. I enjoyed it
I understand the differences in gameplay and technical execution, but I found the story of all the main games that I played stupid, never really cared and never could even remember the slightest bit, when playing the next episode. They are not story or character driven games in my opinion. Maybe in comparison, when you play all of them, it makes a difference. Never realized there were actually so many. Great video!
The fact u put the original re 3 at 11 is disturbing.scariest re game....hands down
I’ve definitely never seen this video before today ever
Just ended up getting 1-7 a day before this video was posted, just found it now. Wish me luck
that's super fun. How's progress going?
@@SpaceMissile gone through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, currently working on 6 with a friend, & playing 7 when he isnt on, the not a hero dlc for 7 is amazing. Cant wait for 8. Late may 6th. So close :)
Also i should mention i went through most of revelations between 4 and 5. Still waiting to do revelations 2. It gives me silent hill vibes :)
@@shorty9020 good stuff! If you can get 0, that's worth a try too!
@@shorty9020 which games ended up being your favorite to date?? Sounds like you played a load of them!
Re-watching this to support the channel❤️
Great spookums vid, chaps!
Resident evil 3 to me was better than 2 and resident evil 5 was better than 4 imo
I think the low ranking of RE3R is grossly unfair. Sure, much of the original content is missing, but if it is objectively viewed (without comparing it to the original), it’s actually a great game; and so much better than many of the rankings you put after it.
1:57 to skip the vamping
I agree wirh no1. However I would not put code veronica over re3 and re3 remake(its my favourite part after remake1). I would love to play re cv remake over re4 remake. But its only my opinion and i doubt it happen.
