In what order to play Resident evil games?

[𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔲𝔰 𝔄𝔠𝔱𝔲𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔰]

So this seems to be a remastered version of the first game.But what's the next?Is Resident evil 2 REMAKE the sequel?And is RE3 remake the sequel to RE2 remake?Is RE4 the sequel to RE3 remake? I'm confused...

[DarkSamus]

RE1,
RE3 (First Half)
RE2,
RE3, (Second Half)
RE Zero
RE Code Veronica X (Console exclusive)
RE4,
RE5,
RE6,
RE7 and finally
RE Village

[grobdor]

person above posted proper chronological order, but honestly you can mostly play them in any order, I would just avoid starting with 0, 5, or 6 because they're the most different from the rest of the series

[Lanzagranadas]

Want to play in the order the games were originally released?
RE1: original (1996) / Gamecube Remake (2002) / this Steam version (a remaster of that remake)
RE2: original (1998) / modern (2019)
RE3: original (1999) / modern (2020)
RE Code Veronica
RE0
RE4
RE5
RE Revelations
RE 6
RE Revelations 2
RE7
RE Village

Or want to follow the story timeline order?
RE0
Any RE1
Any RE2 + Any RE3 (Since RE2 events don't happen before or after, but during RE3)
Code Veronica
RE4
Revelations
RE5
Revelations 2
RE6
RE7
Village

I'm not really sure what he's trying to say lol. Resident Evil Village is a direct sequel to 7 yeah

[Lanzagranadas]

HighRoller probably means that Village is a RE game only in name... which yeah, it's kinda true. But it is officially a RE game and a sequel to RE7's plot.

But what does this mean?How does it differ in terms of gameplay?Every RE is a shooter so is Village so how is it different?

Village is a RE game only in name... That describes it good, what i meant. Village, even its a sequel to RE7, just dont deserve the title Resident Evil, imo. I could explain it, but i dont want to derail the thread. There are enough threads which are about this topic. To make it short as i can: RE7 was an enjoyable game and had the RE vibe most of the time and just because of that, i wouldnt remove it from Lanzagranadas timeline-story-order-list. But Village and their Werewolfes, Witches and all those characters dont fit into a RE game and dont deserve to be on this list.
Still the game is called RE Village, so officially it is indeed a RE game. Capcom can do what they want and everybody can play what he wants. I for example skipped RE3Remake and Village, even im a big RE fan. Those games are just not worth my time and money.

The point is: the timeline-story-order from Lanzagranadas is perfect, imo until Village. If i had never played any RE game before, then i would start definitely with this list. I didnt knew that Revelations 2 plays between RE5 and RE6. I thought its after RE6.

Still don't understand,but tahnks for trying to explain

Village = no Resident Evil vibe and bad game too. LoL

PS: Good list from Lanzagrandas. Stick with it! Enjoy!

Why is it bad?I watched a few gameplay videos and I can already say it's a decent game

I dont think that i can explain it to you without spoiling some major things. I want to suggest that you start playing the list. Start with the classics before you play the remakes and stick with the list till Village. Then go and watch your mentioned gameplay videos again and after that we can talk about why its bad.

Well... okay

The way to understand would be playing through all the RE games, starting with the classics, and comparing their original vision and concept with what some of the more modern RE games ended up being. As HighRoller suggested, it's not something new players would easily understand.

Simply put, RE games weren't meant to be shooters, some of them did end up being like that because they missed the point and strayed too far from the franchise's roots.
