FULL STORY
======================================================================

It's a huge day for classic survival horror fans, as some of the most highly 
requested games for preservation are being ported to GoG this year: the 
original Resident Evil trilogy. 

The news was announced today by The Sphere Hunter , a YouTube creator who 
specializes in covering classic sci-fi and survival horror video games, often 
of the Capcom variety. In her 17-minute video, she explains that the first 
Resident Evil is available to buy now, with the remaining two coming sometime 
in 2024. 

 Resident Evil is purchasable now at GoG for $10 / 8.99, and the next two 
games will follow suit later in the year at the same price. For those 
interested in buying all three, a trilogy bundle is also available for $24 / 
20.99. Players who purchase the bundle will have Resident Evil 2 and Resident 
Evil 3: Nemesis added to their GoG libraries automatically at the time of 
release. 

The Japanese Biohazard versions of each game are also included here, as well 
as quality-of-life additions and new features present in the original PC 
versions. That includes the ability to skip door transition animations, as 
well as galleries and 3D model viewers. These also appear to be 
'warts-and-all' ports, meaning that legacy bugs found in the original 
versions will be present here. However, GoG technical producer Adam Zikowski 
explains in The Sphere Hunter's video that some audio and visual oddities 
have been cleaned up for these re-releases. 

While the original Resident Evil trilogy has enjoyed some truly phenomenal 
remakes in recent years, there hasn't been an easy, accessible way to play 
the original games since the now-delisted PlayStation 3 ports of the 
PlayStation 1 versions. Finally, those interested in experiencing the very 
roots of the legendary survival horror franchise now have a way of doing so 
on PC, DRM-free, and at a very reasonable price. You might also like... Elden
