Capcom Initially Against GOG Bringing Original Resident Evil Trilogy Back to PC

[Soma_Shotgun]

There are many articles about this. So not too long ago, GOG added the first 3 Resident Evil games to their lineup and it turns out, it took a lot of convincing for them to agree to this. That's because they believed that we already have the remakes which are superior and people should just ignore the ps1 titles. I think Capcom are incredibly dumb and it also just feeds more into this terrible modern remake culture mindset. (More on this here:

) The og Resident Evil titles are not only still great games but completely different from the remakes. Might also offend someone with this but I dare to say they are even better. Except for the first one but you should still not overlook og 1.
Needless to say I'm kinda pissed off about this revelation. What do you guys think?

When possible, all of a company's products should be available in perpetuity. If not... well, you know

I think that even at Capcom, objectively speaking, they know that the original trilogy is better than the remakes. It's a deliberate move to make them inaccessible in order to boost sales figures for the remakes. It's a technique that is also used by Sega, as we saw with Jet Set Radio.

A fine example of an uninspired era in video gaming, churning out the same old games but with a few tweaks.

Crapcom almost pulling a Rockstar Games, when the original 3D era GTA games: GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas were pulled from Steam in favor of the awful Definitve Edtions. Doesn't surprise me companies are starting to do this.

I heard that the Definitive editions are fixed now.

It's a shame really, you would think Capcom would be proud of their history & would actively allow their history archived & preserved further...

As for remakes I see them as a secondary, alternative version to play alongside the original. No one is taking those away and plus now I can play a different version. I love SH2 & the remake, will defend that till' the end and i totally realize that not all of them are good alternatives, but at least for me, when it does hit good, i'm grateful.

HEAD LINE NEWS! AAA Companies hates money and hate their fans and have their head so far up their own asses they can smell the fart before it´s made.

That´s today's news.
"I am glad both Dino crisis and RE 1-3 are on gog which means the for once in their life time connect 2 brain cells together even if it was just for a fraction of a nano second.

You know for as much as they hate it, Capcom truly are the biggest advocates for video game piracy.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It feels like companies these days are ashamed of what they made in the past, and seem intent on burying them deep underground and/or trying to replace them.

The annoying few ruining it for everyone, I figure. Those who complained about "paying for roms" brought on an age of remakes that take up time devs could be spending on more interesting things.
