What should i play?

[Kris23]

Shoudl i Start from RE1 remake or just jump to this one? I have played RE2 & 3 which i have but wondirng if i really should start from RE0 & 1?

[NeutronVortex]

RE0 and RE1 remake are great and worth playing(RE0 is probably my fav Resi game) but their stories have no impact on RE4. And really most REs are mostly standalone games with only minor story threads connecting them. Unless you're planning a full playthrough of the series, there isn't really a reason to start there, imo. Just play this one.

Intresting

Where does the village com in and is RE0 and 1 remastered too. Do they run on modern computers?
You see I always thought the series started with RE2 for some reason.

From my understanding village is the 8th game?

The 8th? Frigging heck, how many RE episodes are there? I bought the village way back on sale and I think there are only 4 RE remastered so far.
I am struggling with 2 at the moment trying to get use to the controls. I see the tape covering up the control panel and have the knife but for the life of me can't cut the tape. My gun is empty but then in a cut scene I start shooting zombies with a empty gun. I tell you I am very confused.

RE4 is the most standalone entry in the series, you don't need any info fom earlier entries to get into it

RE4 is on my wish-list but I really need to play 2 and 3 first. Every time I start RE 2 something comes along and pulls me away from it. Yet, what I have played of 2 has been good but a little confusing at times.

Eh... just outright false, the whole plot with Ada Wong is built upone from RE2.

Wesker showing up on RE4 only has impact if you know him from RE1

I would sugest the OP to play them in order, RE1,2,3 etc

Kinda went backward, Played RE2, 3 and then started on 1 and now playing 0, I do have planes to play 4 after 0 though and go with 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in order

Leon mentions Umbrella in the intro and that's it. Explains everything he and the player need to know about Aida in their first cutscene. Wesker is mysterious, you just need to know what the game shows ie. he's Ada's employeer and probably a bad guy.

Krauser just showed up in the original, did enyone need a game for his backstroy? No.

I love the new RE games, so I would start with RE7 if you haven´t played it, and then RE Village, because it continues Ethan Winter´s story. Then after that RE2 remake with Leon and RE4 remake after that.

I personally do think RE7 and RE2 remake are the best RE games in the whole series, but maybe you think differently. You have much to look forward to, peace.

[Coffee Addict]

if you are playing for the story then start at 0 since its the first in the timeline

if you are going for gameplay then go for the one that tickles your fancy the most

You said RE4 is the most standalone in the series... thats unquestionably false. RE1, 2 and 3 are far... far more standalone than RE4.
