Ranking Resident Evil Games from Worst to Best

I can't believe he ranked RE3 Remake higher than War Thunder.

No better way to spend Easter by punching boulders and making Jill sandwiches.

RE7 Lucas doesn't just disappear. He's made into the main villain of the free DLC story of Not A Hero

REmake is also one of the most genuinelly well made games ever, its absurd that a game that came out in 2002 (iirc) looks that good, a testament to the idea that great art style beats graphical fidelity.

RE0 with the items all over the floor like the aftermath of a botched 7-eleven robbery

No way RE3 Remake is worse than RE0 or RE6. I get that this is a disappointing game but 6 and 0 are just unbearable

To me, the worst part of RE3 is how many times Nemesis was in the middle of killing Jill and then just didn't. That's not a good way to be scary with a horrible unkillable monster. He picks her up, then throws her, then points a flamethrower at her for 5 seconds while she runs away. Nemesis picking you up should just be the end of you. Her staying alive has to mean avoiding that situation altogether. Lazy horror writing is what we got.

The G-Virus mutated William Birkin, not the T-Virus.

Zero is ranked lower than the game you said nearly killed the franchise? That's certainly an opinion.

What makes the moth corridor in Resident Evil Code Veronica so annoying is that there are infinitely respawning blue herbs in that corridor. So what happens is, the moths lay their eggs, you go through the load zone, they hatch and poison you, you go back through the load zone and heal yourself whereby the moths have probably respawned. It is pointless busywork.

RE3 Remake being lower than six and seven being lower than five is kinda criminal

There is a quite peculiar way to dodge zombies in RE0 that isn't quite as common in the other titles. Basically you need to wait for them to lunge, immediately backstep just one or two steps, anf the zombie will miss. After a zombie has missed to grab you with a lunge, it will be stunned for 1-2 seconds, in which you'll have the time to run past it. Another thing with zombies is the difficulty to eliminate them with a knife. What you need to do is go for their legs. They fall over after getting stabbed two times SOMETIMES after three stabs. You can use lunge dodge to your advantage in this because when they get stunned after a failed lunge you'll usually have time to stab them twice before they lunge again. Although zombies have different walking speeds so this must be taken into account when fighting them in melee.

Resident evil 1 remake is the purest survival horror experience Capcom has given us.

I find that this is one of the hardest series to rank since there's so much variance between titles.

Never let this man cook again

I'm one of those guys that would have mentioned Code Veronica if you hadn't so, thanks for that.

Shout out to the Resident Evil 4 HD Project that properly HD'ifies the PC port of RE4. Honestly the definitive way to play the game.

I've been playing this series since I was a fifth grader back in 1996 shitting myself because of the first zombie and I still believe that the REmake is one of the best games ever made.

Having RE8 so low is criminal. I like that one almost as much as 4. It even reminds me of 4 with the action sequences. All that 8 really leaves to be disired is the fact it needs more puzzles and a bit less action.

Just watched FPS the other day. Was pleasantly surprised to see you show up in it! Great video as always chap. RE will forever be one of my favorite franchises.

Re:remake is the gold standard. I disagree with some of your placements but you clearly recognize re:remake as the absolute best which i agree with

Blood...Blood...I hope that's not Chris's blood!

Immediately hooked in as soon as I had seen the Harlem Nights reference 😂 always love G "but I don't know " manLives videos . Much love brother .

Not including the Clock Tower in RE3 was unforgivable. One of my favourite locations in an RE game, so atmospheric and the music is great

Resident Evil 2 remake was the first RE game I ever played. It got me hooked on the series.

Don't mind me Just came here for my mom's cameo in the video

Great video, man, always like having long videos from you. Not totally agree with your placing but I get it. You should do another one with all the other RE games, maybe one with all the MGS games and another one for the God of war saga.

They actually released a very well done mod to add an item box to RE0. It works on the typewriter, making type-writers your item box (and they do travel across all typewriters like an actual itembox).

The way Albert Wesker laughed in Code Veronica, sounds more of Count Dracula in Sesame Street.

The Originals RE4,3,2 and the Remake of RE1 will forever be my favorite games in this franchise.

Do you purposefully write your script around clips you can use from the game to emphasize your point in a comedic way or does that just happen naturally?

Its insane how good RE Remake looks. The lighting on the character models perfectly matches the prerendered backgrounds so they don't feel out of place.

They are gonna cook you for putting RE5 that high but you're right. One of the best co-op games ever made.

I wish Capcom would remaster or remake the Lost Planet series, but that's HIGHLY unlikely.

the logging off in the lab got me haha

Resident evil code Veronica deserves a remake, or a remaster with a optional overhaul rebalance gameplay mode with new features and a new game plus features and outfits and goodies other new single and Mercenaries modes stuff.

For anyone that thinks Eveline looks like Alma Wade, the co-writer of RE7, Richard Pearsey, also wrote the two non-canon expansion packs for FEAR being Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. There's even what I am 90% sure is a reference to Perseus Mandate in the opening scene with Pete, Clancy and Audrey where Pete says he "Doesn't want a repeat of Amarillo"

code veronica...you gotta use the knife man, its OP.

Been addicted to Resident evil for the past few weeks so this was perfect timing!

That was an excellent video! Thank you sir!!

The RE3 remake has issues and was cut down but saying its worse that RE6 is worth fighting over. RE6 damn near killed the franchise.

Nahhh that tentacle in the mouth clip at the end of the RE3 part was CRAZY

56:18 "Enemies who react realistically" Shows villager getting launched by 9mm

amazing video g man

17:04 and 43:13 reverb fart

The cut content from RE4 Remake was moved to the much improved new Separate Ways. So its a bit dishonest not mentioning it

48:51 Lmfao at the Homer Simpson scream!!! 😂

The fact that Shinji Mikami is the director of both RE4 and RE1 Remake tells us how much of a great dev and team leader he is

The OG RE2 is still the best game in the series IMO. It just has the perfect presentation, story, gameplay loop, and best pacing of probably any game I've ever played. If RE2make didn't cut true A/B scenarios and some other content it would have maybe taken it's place for best RE game.

I just finished Resident Evil 1 remake a few weeks ago and it was hand on heart one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played in a while despite some frustrating controls and cryptic puzzles towards the end. Started Resi 2 remake and have high hopes

Awesome video as usual

Appreciate you man. Great video.

I most of the time agree with you and your opinions.. But RE village being so low is criminal. Lady D is going to suck you dry

3make under 0 and 6 is wild.

Something people often overlook about Code Veronica is that the knife is really useful against standard zombies, meaning it’s very easy to conserve ammo in the early game

It's crazy how Mikami and his team were responsible for both the greatest third person shooter of all time (OG RE4), and arguably the greatest survival horror game and remake of all time (RE1 remake). Two games with very different design philosophies and yet they both nail everything they set out to do. Capcom Production Studio 4 should've been kept together no matter what and had their genes cloned. Even the guy cleaning the toilets there must've been a genius.

I've truly never understood the hate for RE0. Removing the item boxes was a mistake yeah, but the level design and puzzles, both classic and in terms of the buddy system, were great

Bruh I almost choked on my food when that zombie farted turning it's head 😂

Chris' campaign in 6 was the closest for RE going full Call of Duty yet in Village they took it a step further with Chris' section going full Task Force 141 mode to the point where I'm surprised Chris didn't say "Bravo Six, Goin Dark"

Dude, I asked for RE1: Director's Cut for Christmas JUST so I could own the RE2 demo. I played the hell out of that demo before ever playing the actual $50 game my mom paid for. Most expensive demo ever. It was marketing genius for them to include that because I couldn't have been the only one.

Disagree with basically every single ranking but still enjoyed the whole vid

Awesome vid

I only played the original and the sequel and code Veronica but I loved those games! RE2 was the only one I beat back in the day. I own all the GameCube ones but, I never played them. Anyway, cool video, Gman! After watching the video, I guess RE1 and RE2 remakes might be worth a look for me!

Would be cool to see a follow up series ranking the side games like Revelations and Dead Aim

Just in time when Haiti just got it's own RE5 update

Great video Mr Stock Australian man

We NEEDED this video

I will never get over Chris's treetrunk arms in re5.

Great list!! 😁

Its crazy how good the RE1 remake still looks.

Village being below 5 and 7, near 6 is a true crime. Village in my opinion is the most refined the franchise has ever been. It has every element of resident evil at top level.

I get your point about RE3make but I’d rather play it than many games you put above it. It fails as a remake but as a game, it’s pretty damn fun! Village should be higher on the list too!

Nice you finally pulled the trigger on this one! Hope that weird RE3R fans don't find your house!

Thank you for the best Resident evil Review on RU-vid in my opinion, Subscribed bro.

I love this channel and RE stuff

Original re3 for me number one

Bro the og ps1 trilogy is still on ps3 psn for cheap ($10 each or under). Those games are fire and once you spend 10 minutes with the tank controls you'll get into the swing of things quick. Its amazing how they nailed the survivor horror formula with the very first game. Playing RE1 in 2024 it didn't feel dated at all.

Amazing video

So will there be a ratings for the dlc campaigns of the RE games ?

Seeing that pile of inventory items is fucking hysterical.

The Resident Evil save room themes always reminded me of the type of ambient moody tracks you would get on classic metal albums back in the day. Especially that REmake theme, sounds like King Diamond stuff.

I would like to thank you for your list, and I have to say the remake RE1 save room music sounds beautiful. Makes me want to listen to it for 3 hours and enjoy some coffee. You know.... I am going to that right now.

I expected Dead Aim or Survivor be the worst but RE3 Remake? c'mon dude

While he does preface the ranking with a message that these numbered titles aren't entirely 'bad', I'm certain there is a magnitude of players who will disagree that RE3make is a worse Resident Evil experience than the bloated scheisse that is RE6 - "the closest that RE ever came to CoD" - which prompted the reboot of the series. Gman, what'choo smokin' mate?

Playing RE6 with a friend is much more fun than alone. Some of the things during my couple of playthroughs with friends made us laugh like never before. Great memories, good game.

Must be getting a lot of views because he keeps making re videos. This series is fire so keep them coming!

Re0 is underrated. The outbreak games were fun too. One thing I hate about the re4 remake was the laser sight was only for pistols

Resident Evil 1 remake: Adds things in. Every other RE remake: Takes things out.

What the hell, the water in the Resident Evil 1 remake still looks great

No chance 3make is the worst in the series. Wow . .

Code Veronica is #1 in my book... by far

Love the video-can anyone tell me the name of the song at the end of the RE5 segment? It sounds dope!

A fantastic list with valid opinions on each of the Resident Evil games. I always enjoyed RE4 original and I do wish to go for the other RE games sometime.

You stirred up a hornet's nest, RE games vary so much in gameplay that it's hard to judge which one's the best. xD

I haven’t even watched the video yet because I looked at the chapter list and got irrationally angry at multiple placements.

I love RE4 original when Leon is left in the boat and he says "heh Wybyn"

Gman, have you played the Quest 2 port of RE4?

Remake 4 is objectively better than 4.

Gman: *Puts 3’s remake at the bottom* Sphere hunter: “So you’ve chosen death?”
