10 Resident Evil Games - Ranked From Worst To Best

A remake of the original Resident Evil for the GameCube was developed by Capcom back in 2002, and aimed to revitalise the franchise for a new generation. Ultimately, it was a commercial failure, and resulted in Capcom taking the series in a whole new direction, a direction which would eventually culminate with Resident Evil 6.

Not only were the graphics completely overhauled, Resident Evil also revised several key story elements, including the manner by which certain characters were killed. The game also introduced several new features, including the Crimson Heads, a powerful new form of zombie that would actively pursue the player, sprinting after them and lunging to attack. There were also new story elements, including a side mission involving the mutilated test subject, Lisa Trevor, who had undergone a dramatic transformation prior to your arrival at the mansion.

It's a shame the game wasn’t a huge financial success for Capcom, considering how positively the game was received by fans and critics alike. To this day, it’s considered one of the best GameCube games of all time, and is often cited as one of the better examples of the genre. In fact, you could even make the argument that the remake has been more influential than the original, defining survival horror for an all new generation of players.
