In joint efforts with the original creators, Capcom, we’re thrilled to announce the re-release of the original Resident Evil™, the groundbreaking series that heralded the golden age of the survival horror genre!

This iconic classic is now available with all its original content intact, featuring quality of life improvements and enhanced compatibility for modern systems. As part of GOG’s ongoing effort to protect and preserve classic games, Resident Evil is now available on the DRM-free GOG store!

Capcom's Resident Evil series has defined and revolutionized the survival horror genre, with the original Resident Evil, Resident Evil™ 2, and Resident Evil™ 3: Nemesis being standout titles that have captivated gamers worldwide. While Resident Evil set the stage, introducing players to the eerie Spencer Mansion and navigating them through terrifying encounters and intricate puzzles, its atmospheric tension and innovative gameplay mechanics laid the foundation for the series' success. Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis successfully expanded the universe, delivering unforgettable experiences that deepened the franchise's lore and horror elements.

That’s not all, though – for the complete Resident Evil experience, we decided to invite someone special to tell us something more about the series. It’s Suzi Hunter, also known as TheSphereHunter! In an exclusive video, Suzi will introduce the history of the franchise and tell the story of its originals’ revival, while interviewing some of the most interesting figures that took part in the process – including GOG’s very own Technical Producer, Adam Ziółkowski, as well as Head of Business Development, Bartosz Kwietniewski. The video will go live soon, and you’ll be able to watch it HERE – so stay tuned!

That being said – Resident Evil is now live on GOG, DRM-free! You can also wishlist Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, or pre-purchase them alongside Resident Evil in a special Bundle – you wouldn’t want to miss this occasion!

gog2002x: I may be missing (or misreading) something, but doesn't it seem from the Q&A that Swedrami posted that GOG did the porting?
They did some fixing. Porting implies that you went from one platform to a different platform, e.g. the most famous source port Doom which was based om the Linux version that was ported back to Windows.

Ancient-Red-Dragon: Also, Resident Evil 1 on St*** has Achievements (I'm not sure if it's the exact same version as this "new" GOG version, but either way, the GOG version should have them too), so why doesn't the GOG version have the equivalent Galaxy Achievements?
Oh FFS , shut up !

Makes sense, thanks for the reply.

When I replied to their post and read the port part, I guess I just rolled with it w/o thinking haha.

MysterD: This is UNREAL

Breja: No, it's RESIDENT EVIL.
LOL @ that.
Fair @ the punchline, IP name, and whatnot. Good one. ;)

But I meant "This is unreal" as in "this is unbelievable"....meaning it's amazing to have Capcom bring one of their flagships to GOG period. without any real DRM. They VERY rarely allow or bring their super-duper big landmark stuff here.

I mean, what's here from them? An old version of a Street Fighter game, Dragon's Dogma DA, and Now OG Resident Evil 1 (and then later rest of the old RE1-2-3 OG Trilogy)? Did I miss any?

Would love to see MORE Capcom stuff come here, of course.

I figured these classics would've went to the pipe-elbow store first.

MinistryOfEvil22: If anyone is having trouble using a PS4 controller, I used JoyToKey to map the buttons.
GOG already provided this. Don't remap anything, just attach the controller and play the game.

toothworm: Children use this website. GOG should not be using a pornographer to promote the games.
Uhm ... what?!

If this GOG version doesn’t have parity with other available versions, does anyone know where I might buy a superior version ? I’m fine with just renting it if that’s the only downside. Owning stuff doesn’t matter because you die eventually anyway.

Yep, along with PO'd and the new outcast, this will look great in my library of shame!

Here's to getting more Japanese developers/publishers on board!

Benajmin Franklin is atributed to saying that there are only two things that are certain in this world - death and taxes.

I will expand this with two more certainties: When gOg release a new game, Breja will tell us why he does not like the game, and Ancient Red Dragon will complain about the achivements. At this point, both taxes and death are becoming the more preferable things of these four.

Apart from that, this is a really good catch, gOg, congratulations. I am not a fan of survival horrror, but the original Resi series is a classic that derserves to be on here, and everyone should play them at least once. This is video game history.

Can you prove even more how much a damn moron you are? The original RE was only ever sold at retail. Achievements didn't even exist back then. Then you go comparing it with a completely different remake version.

I swear I'm losing IQ points just by reading your dumb posts.

Can you imagine PS1 players of Resident Evil back in the day complaining about lack of Achievements ? LOL. The all-pervading influence of Steam rears its ugly head again.

Xbox was doing Achievements via XBL on consoles way before Steam.

In the early days of Achievements, we didn't even see these on PC at all. Only consoles like Xbox had 'em.

Steam was just a DRM protection suite, before it became a real service w/ Steamworks and its 679 features (Cloud Saves, Achievements/Trophies, Picture Taking, Big Picture Mode, SteamWorkShop, etc).

Steam didn't have this stuff from the jump. Games like Divinity 2: Ego Draconis and Dragon Knight Saga baked Achievements on PC literally into the actual game itself and it worked offline too b/c it wasn't tied to servers.
