Original Resident Evil Trilogy PC ports on GOG

[WeskerLives2015]

The PC ports of RE1 and RE2 are available to buy on GOG right now! 3 is coming on September 25th! I picked up the bundle. I never got to play the PC ports of these titles so I've been having a great time with it so far. Anyone here picked it up? Let me know!

I've been playing the GOG releases too, it's great to have a legal way to get them for PC. I hadn't played the original trilogy since they came out on PS1 so it has been a very nostalgic journey. Also I don't remember Extreme Battle being in my original version of RE2, so that has been a nice surprise and something I never played before.

Been wanting to but trying to finish up some other games first before diving into these.

I had a lot of fun revisiting RE1 and 2 and can't wait for 3 to be released. It's great to have a way to legally acquire them for PC

This is fantastic news indeed. It was like a jungle trying to get these in a functional state. Now they are right here.

Am too lazy to research as I type this on my phone. Does anyone know the changes made to these? Specifically interested in framerate and resolution improvements. Extra features like game modes and unlocks are fine and all but they cannot damage the core gameplay experience from the originals or it will venture into "Remake" territory and out of "Remaster".
