Today marks the 16th anniversary of the infamous Spencer Mansion incident. On July 24, 1998, members of the Raccoon City Police Department's S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team entered a biohazardous, trap-filled mansion nestled in a dense forest of the Arklay Mountains. Many of the RPD's finest died battling the biological abominations roaming the huge estate's dusty halls. To commemorate this important chapter in the Resident Evil series and the horror genre, we're revisiting both the original 1996 PlayStation version of Resident Evil, as well as the excellent 2002 GameCube remake.
For this Super Replay, we'll be switching off between the two versions of the game beginning with the PlayStation original. Each subsequent episode will switch back and forth between the two versions. If you're new to the series, expect a lot of cautious crawling through the monster-infested mansion, careful conservation of ammo and health, and chunks of backtracking to unlock new areas. And as with every playthrough of a Resident Evil game, there are bound to be surprises and close calls that rattle even experienced zombie hunters like us.
Join Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Ben Reeves, Kim Wallace, and me as we compare the two iterations of this groundbreaking horror game back-to-back. Will our extensive experience with both versions make these dual playthroughs a cakewalk, or will the varying traps, enemy encounters, and puzzles throw us off and leave us cowering in a corner with half a clip of handgun ammo and a single red herb?
Watch us embark on the harrowing journey below, and tune in every Thursday and Sunday for new episodes. Check out the latest episode below or catch up with all of the episodes with the video player at the bottom of the page.
