I randomly came across my old PS Vita while packing up my stuff for university. I hadn’t used it in years, so I decided to charge it up and check out some of my old games. One of them happened to be the original Resident Evil 2.
I’d always heard people on TikTok say that the og RE games had aged horribly, mainly because of the tank controls and fixed camera angles. Funny enough, a lot of those complaints seem to come from people who never even touched the franchise.
But when I actually played it, I was genuinely amazed by how well it held up. Ngl, I ended up enjoying it more than the remake.
I’ll admit that the controls took a little getting used to, but once I got the hang of them, they really weren’t that bad. And honestly, there’s no better feeling than successfully running past a zombie without getting grabbed.
After finishing the original, I also couldn’t help but feel that the remake cut some corners, especially when it came to the sewers. They felt a lot emptier compared to the original, which surprised me.
TL;DR: The original Resident Evil 2 is still an amazing game, even for someone who didn’t grow up with those games. And thx dad for getting me that Vita all those years ago.

Just finished Revelations 2 and would love to read the files, unfortunately I don't have the time to unlock them myself. RE Wiki seems to have them but they're not organized so I couldn't tell which one is which. Or if anyone knows what each of the 12 files are called, so I can look them up manually on the wiki, thanks.

Does anyone else like to imagine offscreen that some of the characters have been hooking up for years? I mean, you got the obvious options of Chris and Jill, or Leon and Claire, or Leon and Ada (I'm actually not sure which one I root for with Leon), but does anyone actually believe it to be true?

Personally, I do. I mean, we never fully see what all happens to these guys in their personal lives, so maybe offscreen they decided to let the obvious tension between them build up and become something better.

Lately, I've even been imagining that Chris and Jill got together not too long after the first 3 games and have been together for years offscreen. (Hell, Chris's devastation over the loss of her in 5 seems VERY much like a man grieving his wife). They've probably even got kids finishing high school/starting college by now (though, I can see why people wouldn't want to think that so they can keep up with the "Chris needs to preserve the Redfield bloodline" jokes lol).

Plus, in the good ending for Requiem, we can even see Leon visibly putting a ring back on after he's done with his latest mission, and people are still throwing out their theories of either Claire or Ada (or Ashley or Sherry. Gross). So clearly he's made the move to find happiness between all the crazy bullshit the games and animated movies put him through.

So what do you guys think? Who do you guys think is paired up with someone in the series, but we just don't visibly see it in the games/movies?

Just finished Resident Evil 2 and it was awesome! (I do think the rankings were a little harsh though, like cmon, I was pretty fast...) I was told to play Claire A Leon B so I did. I was about to boot up RE3 but I was wondering if there were any big story differences between Leon A and Leon B and Claire A and Claire B scenarios? I tried looking it up online but no matter what I just end up finding info about the remake and not the original game. Would be cool if anyone knows, thanks!

Found this somewhere on social media during random scrolling. Cant remember who made it, forgot to like/follow them tho...

If the owner sees this, apologies for sharing it wtout credit...

REV1 is up there with code veronica and RE4 for how goofy the story can get.

plus its interesting seeing how this was Koshi Nakanishi (director of RE7 and RE9) first game that he lead. Its so tonally different from everything he has done, but I could see hints of similar storytelling and presentation.

Posting here since, once again, the main sub is a pain in the ass for posting.

If so what’s your best time and ranking? Also favorite part of the game?

I hope everyone enjoys it 😊
