Just picked up the RE Super Bundle for Xbone, and having never played a single game in the franchise...any particular play-through order suggestions? It contains:

Resident Evil HD Remaster, Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil Revelations 2 Deluxe Edition.

Thanks for any help...plz be gentle...

With just those games, that exact order, actually, since that's the order the games came out. If you want to play chronologically though, then you would play 0 before 1 and Revelations 2 in between 5 and 6, but doing it that way spoils things.

Personally, I'd say this is the best order for a newcomer: Resident Evil, 0, 4, 5, Revelations 2, and then 6.

Chronologically, Resident Evil 0 is out of order since it's a prequel to the first game, but I think it's better to get accustomed to the standard mechanics and appreciate the original story before jumping into the prequel story, especially since 0 changes things up a bit. This way you get to go through the proper evolution of the series' gameplay as well. That's why I'd recommend playing Revelations 2 before 6 even though it released after. Chronologically, it does come before 6, so there's that, but also because the gameplay feels like a bridge between 5 and 6. Graphically, it's not as impressive as 6 since it was a spin-off title, so you're definitely not getting a downgraded experience with 6 by playing Revelations 2 first.

Though, I seriously recommend seeking out the other games to fill in the gaps. The first Revelations is coming later this year for current consoles, and a Code Veronica port has been reportedly leaked as well. They're also remaking Resident Evil 2, though I don't know if you're willing to hold out that long.

Hi Beef :)
I see you've gotten expert advice on the matter, I have nothing to add.
I moved the thread.
