I recently bought RE Remastered on the PS3. For those unaware it's basically the first RE game redone to give it a modern feel and much better graphics. They've changed some elements of the gameplay too. Reminded me of how much I loved RE back in the day. The series went on and the most fun i've had playing it since the first installment was RE 5 and Resident Evil Revelations. I love any game where I can play as Jill.

So fans of the series, who is your favourite character and which game is your favourite? Who do you ship with who?

Discuss all aspects of the series here and be warned this thread is very likely to contain spoilers.

Big RE fan here. REmake (RE1), Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil Revelations are my three favorites. Jill is my favorite character, with Leon in second.

Anyone here own Revelations for 3DS? I'd be up for playing Raid Mode online with people here who have it.

I'm disappointed that Revelations 2 isn't going to be released for 3DS, especially since the original began as a 3DS exclusive.
 
After playing RE1-3 and Revelations, I've come to like several characters. Think my favorites are Albert Wesker, Jill Valentine, and Barry Burton. The latter mainly for his hilarious dialogue in the original Resident Evil.
Overall, my favorite game is either Resident Evil 2 or 3. I'm really hoping Capcom gets their shit together with Revelations 2, because 5 and 6 were a disaster. =_= Really don't want to see one of the pioneers of Survival Horror die out so miserably. I'm optimistic about it though.
Reminds me. I need to get the HD Remaster sometime.
 
My favourite RE character is Leon Kennedy, mainly because of Resident Evil 4. My favourite RE games are Resident Evil 4 and Revelations. I'm really hoping Revelations 2 is just as good or even better than the first, or at least it's not a disaster like RE 5 and 6 (specially 6, i hate 6).
 
Well, I'm not really a fan of horror anything myself (the closest I'll get is Doctor Who), but I hope for the sake of RE players everywhere that any future games aren't as bad as I've heard 5 and 6 were. That's about as much as I can contribute to this discussion.
 
In all truth, I'm pretty glad to see Capcom giving Barry Burton a canon game appearance again. His dialogue in RE1 was probably one of the most memorable things about that game next to its Survival Horror elements of course. Just curious what his role will be in Revelations 2. (Also glad to see Claire back by the way)
 
Albert Wesker will always be my favourite Re character, 2 and 5 were my favourite games, I wasn't much of a fan of 6 or operation racoon city.

also don't get me started on the films
 
I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who liked the films. =w=;
Also, new question to consider. What was the most memorable jump scare?
 
No love for Chris? I love Jill (even blonde Jill)

Wesker was fun for a while but in RE5 he was kind of laughably bad.

He was the least threatening villain i've met in a video game

I grew to like Sheva throughout that game though. I played Revelations on the 3DS but I sold the game once i'd completed it. I'm going to buy the PS3 version asap. I need to pick RE6 back up. It got quite difficult and I put it down and never got round to picking up where I left off.

I haven't seen the movies. Jump scare? I really couldn't say, there's so many moments that make me jump. The first memory of really jumping out my skin was when I played the first game and was going down a corridor. Dogs started jumping through the windows and the volume was up high on my TV. I wasn't expecting an ambush like that at all. I nearly had a heart attack. While we are talking about scares, one of the scariest bits in a RE game came in 5 with this beast;

The chainsaw reminded me of Leatherface. So scary. I ran around for ages shooting at him while he chased me in close range swinging that thing.
 
Resident Evil 5 just didn't treat Wesker well at all, which was a real disappointment given what an amazing villain he was up till then. He honestly deserved a more dignified send off than what he got. :/
To answer my own question... there's a particular segment in the RPD I like to refer to as "Heartattack Lane". It's a hallway that at one point, zombies will reach through the boarded windows to grab you. This doesn't inflict damage, but it WILL make you jump. And just when you think the scare is done, you walk forward some more and get grabbed AGAIN. Afterward, it stops happening. It only happens for one particular trip through this hallway. But god, even when I know it's coming it manages to make me jump. =w=; (A lot of the jumpscares in RE2 do really.)

I have nearly all the RE Games(save for 2,3)

I didn't really get any jump scares but the Regenerators from 4 are enough to scare anyone

I have Revelations and might take you up on that
 
RE4 was great. I had RE5 and I'm not too big on it to be honest. Dunno why, it's been a while since I played it but I remember not getting into it nearly as much as I did with 4. I also have Zero on the Gamecube but I can't remember anything about that. Anyway, 4 is easily my favourite of the few I've played. I haven't played it in years, maybe I should dig it back out again and give it a whirl...

I will say I have no intention of purchasing any further RE games; none of them interest me. I don't find the zombie horror evil virus genre very attention-grabbing or entertaining, it's been done to death far too much for my tastes.
 
Seems like Revelations 2 Episode 1 has released.
Wb Barry/Claire. =w= As for Episode 1 itself... can't say much personally. Have no plans to get it. If I do get Revelations 2, it'll be the full release rather than any of the episodes. Guess you could say I'm making sure Capcom handles the game decently.

I need to replay one first but I will get it. I agree about waiting for the full series. Getting a game in pieces makes it much less enjoyable. I always wait until games are out in full. Anyone playing RE Remastered? I think i'm getting close to the end. Just defeated Plant 42 now back to the mansion to unlock the final set of rooms. Dreading hunters.

Haven't played the Remaster or the Gamecube remake, but I did play through the original. I hated the Hunters too, though regular zombies in this game aren't much more fun thanks to the crammed hallways.

It's the camera angles that are getting me. You run down a hallway and the camera angle suddenly changes and you're face to face with a zombie you didn't even see before.
 
My favourite is Jill Valentine. And my favourite game is the first! <3
 
Just a heads up: Resident Evil Zero HD is now available for pre-order on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and should be available for pre-order on Steam starting tomorrow.

I have been looking forward to playing it. Anybody else planning on picking it up?
