What Order, should I play?

[Randy Marsh]

I never got into Resident Evil, I was too scared to play as a Kid, lol.
I got interested recently in Resident Evil, What order should I play in?

order of the story

RE0>RE1R>RE2R>RE3R>RECV>RE4>RErev>RE5>RErev2>RE6>RE7

you added CV, which is unavailable on PC (it is on current consoles like ps4), but through emulation he'd be ableto play the outbreak chapters, which are canon, and they go right after RE1, and happen around the same time as RE2 and RE3.

Neither Outbreaks are crucial, of course, but, the add to the larger picture of the whole RE experience.

dont forget the outbreak games

and you can skip resident evil 7 it has like nothing to do with resident evil

[Boke]

If your looking to play RE3R I'd say play REremaster here on steam. It can give you more insight on who Jill is and how her past affects her in RE3R.

Alyssa Ashcroft from outbreak is indirectly present in RE7, one of her newpaper pieces can be found in the Barker house, residence... estate? whatever you call their home XD

Play RE 1 original first.

Either play the PS1 version(1996 version) or find the japanese pc port with Gemini patch.

Oh i agree, but even if i didnt, still part of the whole lore thingy... Neither of us can change that fact XD

Play RE1, and then skip right to Code Veronica. You can safely ignore the rest because they aren't that important.

Pre Raccoon City and Post Raccoon city, fair enough, if that's the case, 0 and outbreak games should still be considered (Never play operation raccoon city tho XD). I think Zero really makes sense a bit of what made umbrella the way it was... Puts more perspective into what went down, from the Ashfords being bigtime investors with actual initially good will, to Marcus being the actual OG scientist, or Spencer's endless greed and ambition. And Code Veronica closes the whole chapter of Chris and Claire trying to reunite.

When I said not important, I actually meant the others aren't very good games. I do see your point though and I agree. Zero is also worth playing.

Interesting, I notice others recommend other RE games. Which one's are in Order within the Story?

[illgib]

I know that story wise came before, but i suggest to play 0 after 1.

It make sense to play them followin the release dates, 'cause some might spoiler others.

True, thank you.

[Vilhjálmr]

Or you could just not play 0 at all, because honestly it's not that great and contradicts the events of the first game. I'm pretty sure it's not considered part of the main RE canon either.
