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!

MartiusR: Game itself, or videos?

Game is working fine on my side, although I have some ugly "artifacts" on screen (so some single lines on the 2D backgrounds). For video I had impression that it was a bit "choppy", but not sure if it's not because it was like that in the original.
the game itself. it's running at like 2-5fps, but the audio plays fine once the game actually gets to the correct point. I'm watching the gog twitch stream and it seems to be running much better than on my machine. Took around six minutes to get to the zombie cutscene which seemed to play fine. its the actual game itself giving me issues

YUXLOA: I hope this means there is a chance we can finally get the PC version of Mega Man Legends.

Will these releases of 2 & 3 be the Sourcenext versions? Because otherwise we won't have modding support or the ability to apply the Classic REbirth mod/fix:

No, the linked video mentions that RE2 is the original PC version and NOT the sourcenext version.

Oof, hard pass on these then unless modders make the REbirth mod work with them.

Do you think they had four games in a series everyone hates?

"Everyone" is such a big word - it shouldn't be used, if the claim can't get backed up by evidence.
Oohh boy. What a release. Good one GOG. Keep up the banger releases :D Cheers

Actually, the speculation is that one of Capcom's next moves is to make a Mega Man Legends collection. In terms of what's left for Mega Man re-releases, they only have Legends, Star Force, and spin-offs like Mega Man & Bass, Game Boy I-V, Battle & Chase, etc. Given the contents of that list, a Legends collection is probably coming in the not-too-distant future.

wolfsite: Been trying to get this running on Linux but just getting "Failed to initialize Graphic Hardware Device (3)"

Update:

I'm using Lutris and I enabled dgvoodoo2 in the runner options on default setting and the game is now playable. The videos have audio but no video but the in game graphics and controls are working properly.

Logitech 710 controller working with no issues.
Thanks for this. Was having the same problem on Steam Deck and your fix worked great. Hopefully we'll get a video fix at some point too.
