They already exist, but it's far from being the best version. Not sure if the RE1 exists tho. But you can definitively play RE3 on RE2 natively on PC.

RE2 on the N64 was the best because smooth textures; Once you finish the game you also get access to item randomizer, making the re-run much much interesting, because keys are on different places now.

If you want to ask me, just play RE3 and RE2 as mods on Left 4 Dead 2, you won't regret; Plus you'll experience true online resident evil experience - the way it was meant to be played, but never delivered to players.

I recall playing RE1 and RE3 on the PC growing up as a kid. Unfortunately, you cannot play them on modern systems. RE1 was made with a 16 bit installer which would work on a 32 bit Windows 10 but it will not work for a 64 bit OS. So you have to use this weird tool to get it unpacked and even then it only works 80%.

RE3 is not the same way. Best way to play is to get a Windows 98 machine and install it on that. Unfortunately for that, the entire setup cost a lot more than it did in 2000.

I want them to go back to their roots. Avoid politization in their games - like the old times - add more puzzles and more unpredictable situations, 'cus everything in RE3 was really predictable.

RE3 was like:
"OH NOES HERE COMES THE NEMESIS; PROBLY JUST ANOTHER BOSS FIGHT OR ANOTHER QTE EVENT"

while in old Resident Evil, he would literally chase you to death, open doors, put you in life/death situations. In here you can just run away from him, shoot at his mom's chest pendant, throw a flash granade, idk you name it...

EDIT: And Jill is like "Oh Yea, I'm a girl you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bastard"
As if we didn't already know that; Speaking of "not knowing what a radio is", don't treat gamers like idiots, capcom.

Gamecube has the best versions of the originals. Although REmake has gotten some remasters that make it better than the GC.

RE1, RE2 and RE3 were all available for PC. Getting RE3 should not be too hard. The other two are a little less common to find.

Getting them to work is a different thing. RE 3 should be (again) not much of a problem that game is quite "tolerant" when it comes to modern systems.

RE2 is a little harder and usually requires atleast some workaround with the save slot.

RE1....dunno if Win10 compatibility helps much, but the last OS I could get it to run in anything else than software mode was WinXP. Including a constant Ctd in Jills scenario.
If you are happy with playing it in Software mode - which shows the ugliest possible game in terms of graphics - then you might have luck even with more modern systems. Just get use to play it in a really tiny window.

You can use Virtual Machines if you really want it that bad; Although, only RE3 was the best version on PC, RE2 was on Nintendo 64 and can't really tell which was the best version for RE1.

Yeah me too.
I haven't played the original re1 but i really enjoyed it's hd remaster version.
I wish they do this also to 2 and 3... or at least add them those originals as a dlc on their remake games or just seperate.
For me this is the least they should do.

Pre-order the RE3 remake and you get the original RE3 as a bonus. That would have been pretty cool. Or make the original RE3 something you unlock by beating the remake. That would be even better.

Yeah Id like the OG Resident Evil games on Steam :wololo:

try the Resident Evil Seamless HD Project. It upscales the backgrounds and models. It is like an unofficial remaster of the classic trilogy.

Like someone said above. OG RE3 is tolerant to modern OS. You can even play it on the latest build of Windows 10. I even have it installed.

Although, the infamous version I have (Xplosiv) is missing the mercenaries executable. The game works with my Xbox One Elite Controller.
The benefit of playing RE3: Nemesis PC version is that it's easier to skip door animation by pressing the map keybinding which is ideal for speedrunners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt9PukNgU0U

me too, so many other ancient games has redux or remaster with same visuals as it was back in the days yet optimized to 64bit OS era. either they just could use engine of RE1 or RE0 for RE2 and 3. Still, PSX emulators is a real deal, they almoust perfect to play old stuff but i guess its just about piracy issue

YES, I want these too, the entire OG trilogy with just some optimization for newer OS, no new graphics or anything, like the old Doom games here on Steam.
