Resident Evil 4 has nothing to do with any of the other games, aside from involving Leon - which doesn't really add much. Resident Evil Zero is the prequel to Resident Evil, Resident Evil started everything with Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica continuing the story. If you only want to follow the story between Chris and Wesker, though, I would recommend Resident Evil, Code Veronica and then Resident Evil 5.

Actually...If you play Ada's story, you find out RE4 has a LOT to do with the others...It introduces the Plagas, which Wesker wants...The plagas evolve even more so in RE5 to the Plagas Type 3, only after extensive research on the Plagas found in RE4...Without RE4 there would be no RE5, which helped carry on the story...

If you want all the information on the games go to residentevil.wikia.com. You'll get all your answers there...

Storywise, you should play Resident Evil and Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X.
However, if you have a Nintendo Wii, you'd better play Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, these two games are recaps of all the old games (RE0, RE, RE2, RE3 and RE:CVX), only RE4 being left out. The Chronicles games are on-rails shooters and also have some exclusive scenarios, never seen in previous games.
The only connection between RE4 and RE5 is that the parasites used to control people in RE5 were introduced in RE4. There's also some minor story connections, but not relevant.
If you need information about a particular subject (characters, BOW's, organizations, etc), I'd reccomend you to consult Project Umbrella's database (http://projectumbrella.net/articles) - However, be careful because the articles may contain spoilers about RE5.

Ok with which games is connected RE4 because I find out RE5 is on my pc too lagy?

However, if you have a Nintendo Wii, you'd better play Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles

Oh thanks!I dont have Wii but i have PS3 and i 100% get it!!

 

[bruno]

RE 4 is connected to RE2, but you can play it without RE2. You will understand RE4's story (except for Leon and Ada's relationshio, but it's nothing special really).

 

[Blazzx]

Ok i will wait to Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection!

 

[bruno]

Yes, the Chronicles games are going to be released to PS3, but it's not confirmed outside of Japan, and we don't even know the release dates.
I didn't mention that because I didn't think you'd want to wait so long...You can play the games anyway and then replay after you've played Chronicles.

ok what about new RE Recon city and RE6 with which story is connected

ok what about new RE Recon city and RE6 with which story is connected

RE Racoon City is non-cannon, and purely for fan enjoyment...It's technically connected to RE 2 and 3, but it's more like "What if RE2 and 3 happened this way" and you play it from Umbrella's point of view...RE6 most likely connects to all of them, because in one way or another every RE game in the main series connects...That's why it's the MAIN series, but other than that, we don't know what it will DIRECTLY be connected to...Be it 2 or 0 or 5...We just don't know enough yet, though I'd put my bets on it being related to all of them in some form or another considering the roster of characters and the enemies...

The Series canon is consisted by (chronologically):

1998
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: Beginnings)
Resident Evil 0 (zero)
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: Nightmare)
Resident Evil
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: Rebirth)
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: The 4th Survivor)
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (first half of RE3 actually happens before RE2)
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: Death's Door)
[Resident Evil: Survivor]
Resident Evil -CODE: Veronica X-

2002
(Resident Evil - The Darkside Chronicles: Operation Javier)
[Resident Evil: Dead Aim]

2003
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: Umrella's End)
(Resident Evil - The Umbrella Chronicles: The Dark Legacy)

2004
Resident Evil 4

2005
(Resident Evil: Revelations)
(Resident Evil 5 DLC: Lost In Nightmares)

2009
Resident Evil 5
(Resident Evil 5 DLC: Desperate Escape)

Bold - Main series
() - Directly related to the main series
[] - Unrelated to the main series

I think I got everything right.

My point actually is... you should play whatever game you want to and then go back to see the story... I don't imagine you playing all of this stuff just to be able to play RE5 xD
However, if you want to play them, your fastest option is playing the chronicles. Besides the scenarios I mentioned, the Chronicles also feature the main series except for RE4 and RE5, so you'd only have to play 4 games to understand the main story of RE.

Ok thanks soo much!!

[bruno]

I'm ot sure, I only remember reading PS3. Was "revival selection" released on 360? IF it was, probably "chronicles selection" will too.

What about RE2 and RE Code Veronica wasn´t they included in darksite cronicles?
Oh and thanks!I will play all of them when its comes cronicles selection to ps3!!
I can emulate Chronicles games on Dolphin but on Wii doesn`t look soo good and on RE Wiki it says the game not allows free mooving is that true?It will be total copy from Wii to PS3 or will looks like RE4 and5?

 

[bruno]

The chronicles titles include RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3 and RECV, but as i have already listed the original names, I didn't repeat them (well, they do have some alterations to the story, but you can still get it). Chronicles is on-rails shooter, so the only thing you control is the aiming. It's FPV and the camera moves by itself. The port to PS3 will only be in HD, but everything else will be the same, on principle.
