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!
I guess exiting the game via Alt+F4 is the intended way?

NuffCatnip: That's just my luck, the game won't launch. :/

JMayer70: Yet still gets a 5-star review huh?
After fiddling with the files for around 2 hours I got the game to run. :)

Ah well, good work! Give it 4 stars then!

And you'll still get downvoted for not giving five! :D

There's a joke (which is lost on me I'm afraid) somewhere in there, I assume? Just another way of saying: "Of course you exit the game with Alt+F4, dumbass"?

In case anybody else is looking for a solution to use the mouse buttons in this - AutoHotkey is your friend, once again.

Yes it's an ancient "help desk" joke targetting truly computer extreme illiterates. Along with shouting "LOOK OUT! LASERS! DUCK!" when they use the laser printer.........
Christmas and Halloween came early this year. I have not played RE2 since 1998 - I'm looking forward to revisiting this classic. So happy this is on GOG. Great stuff ya'll.
However my head is spinning with the recent release of the Riven Remake.

now let's see if we can get silent 2 & 3 and maybe dino crisis at this point anything's possible i was not expecting this
This is a big move for Capcom - all they ever gave GOG before was a lame port of SFA2. This might be the start of more Capcom classics coming to GOG.
I hope the other two games are playable out of the box for me.
I only had to play around with the files for a bit to get the game to work, it definitely wasn't too bad, but who knows if the same thing works for RE 2 or 3. :/
It probably will, but you never know.

We did get the gorgeous Dragon's Dogma. :)
The gog version is lacking a patch though.

I'm content with my memories of playing them in the distant past so I probably won't be picking them up, but I can certainly recognize what a great addition this trilogy is. Good going, you made a lot of people happy with this one. It's always heartening to see evidence that GOG hasn't given up on the "old" part of their name.
I hope we get 4,5,6 now on GOG. Honestly, the only remake I want is 1 and 2 because 3 was not a good remake. I never got around to playing the 4th remake.
