I feel like most people will disagree with every possible position you placed this games on the list. It’s as if it’s intentionally thought out to be divisive.

enkiduxiv897d ago

His ranking is pretty much spot on for me (except for Zero). However, I will admit to being an old school resident evil fan. I'm not so far gone that I am demanding the return of tank controls, but I do like the slower, less actiony more atmospheric titles. I suspect that there are a lot of us out there like this.

Nevertheless, Resident Evil is more of an action series than a horror series. Most of the fans would probably put Village and 4 at the top and 1, 2 and 7 at the bottom.

wiz7191896d ago

Nope honestly the best game in the series for me is the originals remake, nothing after had the same atmosphere.

jBlakeeper887d ago

The casuals fans yes, but not the fans who play it for the horror aspect

KingofBandits896d ago

Thats Capcom's fault by fragmenting the series so heavily over the decades. its made the fan base broken and volatile. The RE4 bro's always trying to argue with the 0-CV fans while the new first person fans scream about how its the best while citing "sales numbers". I wish Capcom would stop messing with the series by chasing trends and focus on story and mechanics while leaving the gameplay classic. Worry about reinventing it when the sales get slow

Babadook7897d ago

The crazy thing is I mostly agree with this list except I would not put 0 as a mainline RE.

anast897d ago

4,5 and 6 should all share the same spot. Other than the technical aspects of 4, the game was actually a joke.

pietro1212896d ago

I love 4, but I think it sucks as a Resident Evil and Survival Horror. 5 was a good arcade shooter and nothing more. 6 was a mess trying to find it's own identity. I wholly disagree on Village, it's not a good horror game besides some elements, but man I had a lot of fun playing it though,

KingofBandits896d ago

I am really glad to see so many comments echo this, as I have been saying these things for a very long time mostly into an echo chamber. I sincerely hope that the fanbase starts to shift so we can get classic survival horror back. Not just fixed camera but proper pacing, item management, and other aspects of design

Suave_Langosta896d ago

I’ve never played the series myself, I’ve always watched a friend or now, a stream. If I were to get into the series, what is the order if I just want to play the remasters/upgraded versions? I looked on the store once and there were so many different versions I got confused. Yeah, dumb I know but I thought I’d ask.

KingofBandits896d ago

from a modern perspective RE2 R and RE3 R would be a good starting point but to do it properly play the HD remaster of RE1 R then move on to those. if the series becomes a fav for you going back to the older titles would be what I'd recommend next. Moving on to 4-8 only is you REALLY want to as to me those are the weakest in the series.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos65d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts65d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook764d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka64d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka65d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz65d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos64d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1765d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca65d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
