PC gamers may finally experience Capcom’s landmark survival horror classic Resident Evil in its original Windows PC edition from 1996. Rumored for a few days, the developer finally revealed on Wednesday that Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for PC will also be re-released via GOG.
Windows PC users have had access to Capcom’s 2002 version of Resident Evil but the original PC version of Resident Evil has been stuck on CD-ROM format. The PC version of Resident Evil and, eventually, its 1998 and 1999 successors can be obtained through the GOG release as a part of Capcom’s latest venture.
Resident Evil for PC is being re-released with all of its original content which will be fine-tuned to take advantage of the modern-day operating systems and advanced hardware. Resident Evil on PC is available without a DRM, the same as other PC games available on GOG.
While these games boast amazing storylines and bring a wave of nostalgia for some of us who have been gaming for a while the graphics might look pale in comparison to some of the modern-day titles. However, Resident Evil is a classic, and playing it would help some of the younger gamers appreciate how far the industry has come.
