I hope that remake is coming along. 
20 ****ing years already. I still remember being introduced to the original trilogy through my cousins and I would play them over their house when they weren't home. I remember playing as Leon and finding the shotgun parts when I played one of their saves.

I still remember my first time being fully introduced to the series, or any horror game really, that wasn’t a creepy point-and-click affair from the 90s. My dad stopped to rent some movies at Blockbuster (when that was still a thing, lol) before coming home from work one night. I had just recently gotten the Dreamcast and it was my first foray into console gaming since the prime Genesis and SNES days.
Anyway, he came into the house, handed me a bag and said “here, thought you might like to play something new. They’re scary games.” I looked inside and saw two interesting titles. “Alone in the Dark” and “Resident Evil: Code Veronica.” I said thanks and proceeded to finish dinner. Afterward, I peered at the back of each game and decided to give this “Resident Evil” a try. I had already heard good things.
As I booted up the game and was jarringly greeted by that iconic Title Screen bellow, I knew I was in for a treat. The opening cutscene was amazing for its time and said a lot about the ever growing immersion in gaming. And then I made it to the graveyard. Things started coming out of the ground and I was internally freaking out, trying to run past them, getting grabbed along the way.
It took many months to beat that game and I still think it’s one of the more difficult ones today. I ended up getting the second and third entry for Christmas and RE3 became one of my favorite games of all time. I have a lot of love for this franchise. It hasn’t been a perfect run, but I hope it retains a bit more of that old charm for years to come.
Sadly, I can’t get into the new one. The Evil Within has been keeping me company while I bide my time and see where the franchise takes us next.

I still play the original trilogy on my PSvita, a handled console (it doesn't hold up very well on HD TV screens).
I don't know if I prefer RE2 or RE3. The first one had more characters and replay value but RE3 is more stressful with the Nemesis chasing after us.
I'm not a fan of RE5 or RE6. But I like Revelations 1 & 2.

I’m quite fond of Revelations 2. The first one is a bit of a pickle to try and play, but so is RE5, which is possibly my least favorite in the franchise.
However, Resident Evil 6 gets a lot of hate, when it’s a better game than its predecessor. It simply tries too hard to unfold a web of grand events. Having such a huge cast of heroes come together to take down the remnants of Umbrella on a global scale was... a bit much. The game simply needed more horror. The action was fine, but there needed to be a purpose behind it all, and sadly, there just wasn’t enough.
Nothing holds a candle to the REmake and some of the earlier games though. And I’m not sure anything ever will.

I like Revelations 2 better than the first one too.
RE6 is a mixed bag for me. There are good moments, for example the beginning of the Leon campaign until the church. Or the Ada campaign. But there is too much Michael Bay crazy stuff with tons of explosions all the time, and tons a QTE (I don't like that) during cinematics. It's not a bad game but not really a good Resident evil for me.
The RE1 remake is great. I'm not really a huge fan of remakes because I don't want to replace the old games of my childhood, but I guess it's cool for new players. And still fun to try them.
I like all of RE series even the gun survivor one, not so much on re7 ...
What we need to know first (and sometimes alot of people forget about it) is RE is not just a horror genre its a survival horror genre, thats why the name is "Biohazard" it's about virus that used as a weapon not about a Resident that go Evil... so im okay with re6 (maybe just me) 'cos the logic about weapon is, it is intended to use in a war / action, yes there is horror at first but thats the first one we cannot always in a survival horror genre not if we talking about weapon (biowar)... thats why revelation 1 and 2 is made 'cos unstatisfied fans about re6 is to much action, if you look on revelations its like re4 which is the virus is contained on little area (ship or island or village) thats why we can do survival genre again... but not if the location as big as china like re6.... and yes i think the maker is thinking about what the fans want thats why there is survival horror on leon campaign like re1 or 2, there is chasing by nemesis like re3 on sherry birkin campaign, and there is action like call of duty on chris one ('cos i think at that time first person shooting is very popular)... Thats just one and two cents what i think about re6 dont bash me with it.. hahahaha....
RE7 oh God dont even let me start on that, this game is just a jealous one on Shinji Mikami's Evil Within, to be the truth RE series always lack of something since he left capcom... Anyway happy annivesary on RE2 hope Capcom will Remake 2 and 3 just like 1....

Never tried RE7. I don't have the console for that. And I don't think my PC is powerful enough to run this game.

Got mine today as well. The body on the 2.0 isn't that bad, but the one on 1.0 had to go. Used a phicen for the nemesis Jill and used the 2.0 body for RE1 Jill.
I'll set them up with the rest later.

What Phicen body did you use ? The skin color matches the head. Is it a pale body ? A suntan ?
Thanks

Looks great but why are the shoulders on that Phicen look stiff? You can relax them by pulling the shoulder down, unlike the plastic skeleton bodies.

Not all the proportons I think. The skirt seems too short with that body. But I'm still interested to know what body it is.

Ah well I was talking about the head body proportions but I have another skirt that’s longer I could swap out if that’s the case

It looks like either the S16A (pale) or S17B (suntan) body.

Thanks. I really need to know the skin color though.
How are you going to find the body you need for the Hot Heart version ? It's never easy with this skin color problem.
