Are these just the Sourcenext ports patched with Classic Rebirth, or are they worse than that? Anyone tried it yet?
>>11049059Is that GOG installer sharing site still up? Could download it and find out.
>paying money to Crapcum when sourcenext has existed forever
Wait when did this get released? It's pretty neat, I don't know anything about the PC version though, have always been playing the US longbox for the PS1
>>11049059WHOA, this is BIG news!. If these are the Classic Rebirth versions, or better, it's awesome. And if it's not, it just means we're gonna get more DRM-free releases from Capcom.
>>11049103Stop being stupid.
>>11049104Why is this awesome or news? Rebirth has existed forever.
>>11049112But using Rebirth can be a cumbersome process. You have to hunt down the old PC version, which may or may not install correctly. This is sold in an official capacity, with an easy-to-use GOG installer and is made especially to run on modern operating systems. If this supports Rebirth, then it'd be a much easier process to get that running now. Plus, it hopefully means we'll start to see more RE games show up on GOG, as well as other forgotten titles.
>>11049140No joke are you a paid shill?
>>11049059This thread will congregate the lowest iq individuals who visit this board for them to say:>uhh just emulate>but i already have this>just use mods>shill shill shill
>>11049112Anon, the GOG installers are ridiculously easy to pirate. If their versions are as good as classic rebirth, this just means we have the easiest versions to install yet for the classic trilogy on PC
>>11049232>low IQ>they're all rightReally makes you think
>>11049079>Is that GOG installer sharing site still up?Yeshttps://www.gog-games.toBut the RE games haven't been uploaded yet
>>11049059"Let's wait 25+ years until passionate fans fix everything wrong with these ports, so we can still their work and put it for sale"Suck my dick, niggerfaggots. As if Capcom hadn't given me enough reasons to hate them.
So, this is a very serviceable version of RE1.I bought it because I'm not poor and can spend $8 to test things. It's fine. Keyboard controls are standard arrow buttons + Z/X/C/V for input, controller works with zero hassle, the expected.Visually, it is very much a 240p game blown up to fullscreen on my 1080p monitor. FMVs look fine, backgrounds are jarring against high quality models.One issue was that I couldn't run while turning right on KB while I could run and turn right, figure that one out. No issues like that on controller.Ultimately though, this is completely pointless. REbirth already exists and is free. This version is just an earlier, worse PC port of RE1. If you don't know how to set up REbirth, you probably shouldn't be playing a game from 1996.
>>11049263>we can still their work and put it for saleKek it's the GOG method, steal fan-patches/fixes and sell em as your own and never credit them. Look what they did with System Shock 2 a few years ago.
>>11049140>But using Rebirth can be a cumbersome process.Here's everything you need to do>Go to Biorand's site>Download the 4.3GB option with all 3 games>extractThat's it.
>>11049276Why the fuck did you copy and paste my post from /v/.Are you a bot?
So let me guess, it's worse than Classic Rebirth because:>no quick turn (aka noob button)>no door skips (only a problem if you have ADHD)>doesn't have shitty AI-upscaled backgrounds
>>11049301Worse than classic rebirth because>RE1No launcherNo window options unless you fuck around with the ini presumablyHave to remap control the same wayNo mod support>RE2 & 3All of the above, in addition to being based on lower quality versions (the earlier American PC ports).
>>11049301>>11049307RE1 Rebirth is also fully portable, no need to install which is always nice.
The English version seems to be the Virgin Interactive CD version and the Japanese version seems to the Mediakite CD version. They have a new/modified .EXE and .DLL wrappers to handle video and controls. They don't work with the Classic Rebirth patch but I was able to get it working with the Japanese version by deleting/renaming the games .EXE and DLL wrappers and using the .EXE from the Mediakite 1.01 patch.
>>11049263>CapcomGOG is also in the devs for some reason
Fuck GOG
>>11049328What exactly do you have against GOG besides CDPR's ESG horseshit?
>>11049327They developed the patch used here.People say they stole this one, but nah. The versions they used are incompatible with REbirth.
>>11049301Doorskip was already in the original PC game to begin withQuick turn is for idiots, I bet you also wish you could play SMB1 with P Wings
>>11049335I think ESG is enough of a reason.
>>11049290Does it have auto-aim and 3 ink ribbons per pick up?
>>11049386>Does it have auto-aimYes it has auto aim>3 ink ribbons per pick upChris has 3 ink ribbons per pick, Jill doesn't use ink ribbons and has infinite saves
>>11049430Neat. Those are the only reasons I even bought the DC years ago.
>>11049307>No launcher>No window options unless you fuck around with the ini presumablyIt has a separate exe for configuring the graphics wrapper
>>11049335not him but most of their releases are half-assed, can't even bother to spend 10 minutes on pcgaming wiki and get their games sorted
Sourcenext never actually ported RE1 to PC. They did 2, 3 and, wait for it... 4
Basically this is half baked patches for the original ports. They didn't even include the higher framerate FMGs for RE1 or the higher resolution RE2 FMGs. Also, had to watch a gross trannies video to get this info, FUCK OFF
>>11049473>and, wait for it... 4The port was also based on the PS2 version for some fucking reason instead of the superior original Gamecube version. Thank god it got ported again with the ultimate HD edition.
>>11049473I never knew there was a Sourcenext version of 4. As far as I can recall, the Sourcenext versions didn't really add anything, right? Just made them playable on (at the time) modern systems?
>>11049497the Sourcenext versions didn't really add anything, right? Just made them playable on (at the time) modern systems?They have higher quality FMV
>/vr/ thread is critical of this, examines the pros and cons and concludes its a lazy cashgrab inferior to the re:birth versions which have existed forever>/v/ thread is full of esl's and retarded teenagers bragging about buying it while acting like the re:birth version is impossible to install
Can't say i'm super familiar with the PC versions but this looks worse then emulated PS1 and the audio doesn't sound right. Music has a hiss to it compared to the PS1 version.
>>11049536If you paid money for this you deserve to be banned.
>>11049543https://www.gog-games.to/game/resident_evilI don't buy bullshit cash crabs.
>>11049547Good on you then
>>11049536>but this looks worse then emulated PS1The backgrounds are identical and the 3D models higher res>>11049505They allow higher resolutions too but it doesn't really make a difference
>>11049556>The backgrounds are identicalDoesn't matter if it's a bit for bit copy, whatever they are doing with the scaling is making the backgrounds look worse. Here is a random youtube screen grab of the same room. Notice how less black crushed it is.
>>11049497>I never knew there was a Sourcenext version of 4No, you did know anon. It is THAT version, the one published by Ubisoft in 2007
>>11049567Wait, sourcenext was behind the infamous RE4 port? Definitely Ubimeddling
>>11049567Oh I totally forgot about that
>>11049059>>11049232Just play the remake bro
PowerVR version is the best
>>11049569>Sourcenext were also responsible for developing the infamous Resident Evil 4 2007 PC Port and despite popular claims, Ubisoft were only responsible for publishing the game in the west and were not involved in its original development. I was really surprised to learn this too
>>11049536>the audio doesn't sound rightThe audio quality of the RE1 and RE2 PC ports has always been bad but the Classic Rebirth versions can be modded to have the higher quality audio from the console versionsSounds like the GOG versions are using the shit vanilla audio from the old ass PC versions
>>11049583>PowerVRAs a classic computer autistic man I love the fact the PowerVR versions exists but it is identical to the D3D version>>11049615Glad i'm not fucking crazy, it's been a few weeks since I last played but I noticed the shit audio on the first track
there's no rumble in re1? or is my controller broken
>>11049645I'm pretty sure they just used the old ass PC version from the late 90s and patched it up a bit so it runs on modern Windows so yeah, no rumbleEven on PS1 you only have rumble in the Dual Shock version (the one with the meme soundtrack
>>11049059Yeah that's nice and all anon, but here's the sourcenext versions of RE 1-3 and Dino Crisis 1&2 pre-patched with classic Rebirth so you can play those instead.https://www.mediafire.com/file/ugd1ubgs9goqo31/Biohazard_sure_does_makes_the_Resident_very_Evil_and_Dinosaurs_are_involved_somehow.7z/file
>>11049562>here is a shitty quality youtube video as proofDude I literally looked at the source for all backgrounds in both versions some time ago. They're identical. Only Saturn has different backgrounds.
I'll look it up from sheer interest. I've run the REbirth version of 2 and 3 many times, but 1 is painful to play on Linux since it crashes every 40 minutes or so.
>>11049717>1 is painful to play on Linux since it crashes every 40 minutes or soThis might have something to do with the face the RE1 doesn't have a sourcenext version
>>11049871>with the face thewith the fact that RE1 doesn't have a sourcenext version*Dunno what happened with my brain here
>>11049569Sourcenext's ports themselves aren't great (if they were, they wouldn't need patches)- 3 in particular has horrendous code which is why REbirth 3 took so long and Gemini had a patreon goal for it unlike all his other releases.What makes Sourcenext 2 and 3 great is the uncompressed assets.
Just saw this on the store page.When does Rebecca get to the top floor of dining room?I beat the game many times and don't remember this
>>11050026Make the right choices and get poisoned as Chris, you will play as Rebecca and be able to go here.
>Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.>All 4 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Japanese).>Improved DirectX game renderer.>New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling, Anti-Aliasing and more).>Improved timing of the cutscenes.>Improved game video player.>Improved game registry settings.>Issue-free game exit and task switching.>Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.>Completely uncut, with even more blood, graphic violence and gory scenes than the worldwide monster hit version on PlayStationsounds exciting.so is the new definitive PC version of the game?
>>11050032Not really, but you can reach the ideal version by getting the Japanese PC version and patching it with Classic REbirth, so that's something.
>>11049059>>11050032Still tank control? I'm not interested.
>>11050040zoom zoom
Can someone try to run it on Steam Deck?for someone reason Litrus couldn't run RE2 SourceNext for me
>>11050040Try playing modern ports of REmake that allow you to switch to the zoomer movement scheme and you'll see that that shit simply doesn't work. Hell, I think Fatal Frame and SH games on the PS2 had that as an option and they were genuinely unplayable like that
>>11050050It simply works thoughever. Beat Remake, SH2 and 4 with it.
>>110500053 is still kind of jank even with the Rebirth patch. Sometimes it will crash when you go through the backdoor of the Clock Tower. I don't think anyone ever figured out why. I downloaded a different .iso and it never happened again.
>>11050060Look at our post numbers>40>50>60Ain't that nice?
>>11049263>check REbirth site>also did some stuff for dino crisis and soul reaver>theres been rumors of Soul Reaver remake/remasteruh ohhhh
>>11049059Meh, I can already play these on PC. Call me when they come to Switch.
>>11049140>You have to hunt down the old PC version, which may or may not install correctly.My absolute fucking sides. Because double clicking an exe and waiting for the progress bar to fill up is a complicated process that can go catastrophically wrong. Hey dipshit, you do know the GOG version also uses a installer, right? It is also not hard to "hunt down", the sourcenext port is so popular someone bothered to fix it up, this is what the "rebirth" patch essentially is. Go shill your shitty company somewhere else.
>>11050075NTA but GOG is not really shitty. You have to understand that most normalfags don't even know how to play NES games on PC, let alone make an oldass PC game work on their Win11. It's cool that there's an easy way to play all those classic games, more people will try them out
>>11049263The GOG patch is unique by GOG. It isn't the REbirth one because it's way worse and just a basic DX11 wrapper on the game.Capcom also didn't make this. GOG approached them about this project and Capcom just said "Sure". They don't care about older RE games like they do with their older fightans or MM.
>>11049059It's neat but I don't get the sites acting like this is some earthshaking announcement. Classic games being more accessible is a good thing though. I'm curious to see what people think of the snappier movement in these if their only previous experience with tank controls were the Remake 1 and Zero re-releases.
>>11049327they're in the credits for almost all games because it takes work to make old pc games compatible with modern systems
>>11050140>this is some earthshaking announcementIt's not on Steam/modern consoles so it's still not an 'in your face big release' but it's still surreal to see those officially rereleased because Capcom and the vast majority of RE '''fans''' like to pretend the original trilogy doesn't exist
>>11050153> Capcom and the vast majority of RE '''fans''' like to pretend the original trilogy doesn't existI find that a strange thing to say. What do you base that on? “Vast majority”?
>>11050168Well, maybe I'm wrong but I feel like RE now is more popular than it has ever been and most of the current fans started with 7 and never went back to play any of the older entries except 4 and maybe REmake+Zero. It feels like RE fans who are into retro vidya or the ones who grew up with the series are in the minority now. Basically ask a random RE fan about RE2 and they'll automatically assume you mean the 2019 game. You think it's not like this?
>>11049276So the GOG version is stable enough & easily playable on modern machines? Asking since I want a PC version of RE1 to play, but need it to be fully above board for professional reasons.
>>11049290>One issue was that I couldn't run while turning right on KB while I could run and turn right, figure that one out. No issues like that on controller.Gonna assume one of those rights is meant to be a left. If you have a crappy keyboard some key combinations simply do not work due to hardware limits.
>>11049519/v/ is not the brightest
>>11049059This is pretty convenient for me. I'm too lazy to jump through the hoops needed to install the Sourcenext PC releases on Linux.I've just been emulating the original games.
>>11049059How's the DS port of this game?
>>11050634>uses linux>pretends to care about convenience lollmao

>>11049243Nice never knew about this site. Thanks anon
>>11049716Do you know how to read?
>>11050040>not pressing down to backupthat breaks the gameplay zoomer
>>11049059now if only dino crisis got patched
>>11049059Are mods compatible? Are the backgrounds unpixelated?>>11050040Tank controls are the only controls that work with this game. Modern controls wouldn't work because it's not a true 3D game. I'm guessing you were born after 1996?
>>11049615>>11049713anon that made that zipit has higher quality music, sounds, fmvs, these higher quality replacements makes them sound more like the ps1/gamecube versions of the game
>>11050543Nah, because I can do it with classic rebirth, so it's an issue with the game or the patch.
>>11049140Sounds like you are just bad with using a pc anon
>>11049059>It's good and bad >It's an old version of the game that can be acquired "legally" or at least is cheaper than used copies>It's bad because pc is still a second-class citizen and they'll never make an enchanced port that's designed for the platform.Despite PC being Capcom's biggest platform they're still betting on consoles so they can grab a big part of that now small market which, with the exception of the Switch, is smaller than PC. It just reminds me that even THQ choose to release Gothic on Switch, which was dumb because the game flopped on consoles like all the other Pyranha Bytes releases on consoles. Unlike Resident Evil, which is still a system seller, they hoped that console gamers would eat German swill.

>>11053142>What RE2 and RE3 mean by "Arrange" or "Normal" mode is in fact "western" or "jap" versions.It's a little more complicated than that.iirc between all of its versions Resident Evil 2 has three different Arrange modes. Western PSX re-release in which Arrange is "US version cheat mode" that lets you start with an infinite weapon, then there is the Japanese PSX re-release Arrange mode which corresponds to the US version but without the possibility to turn ON auto aiming. And then there is the DC/PC versions Arrange mode which correspond to the original US and JP difficulty (but the name of whichever is "arrange" depends on the region)
>>11050147>it takes work to make old PC games compatible with modern OS'sNah, it really doesn't, especially if you have access to dev tools or the source code. I couldn't tell you how many times I fixed a game by simply downloading and then copy-pasting a ddraw file or wrapper file into the main folder of a game. It's so fucking simple 70-80% of the time, rarely requiring deep work-arounds, I legitimately believe that most developers are just lazy cunts.
