It's unlocked now in Australia. I'd say that's okay to post. I did the same for RE6 and Bayonetta 2

Either on the day the games releases or 1 day before, so you should be okay now.

This is one of the few main RE games that I've not played. How good are we talking here? What am I missing out on?

Well, if you like the old games this is a must have. Very underrated imo.

Beautiful graphics, fantastic atmosphere, fun real time zapping mode which cleverly empowers you as much as it makes you feel vulnerable by teaming up/going solo respectively, terrible story/villain/monsters.
As classic RE goes, I personally don't like it as much as RE, 2 or CV, but prefer it to 3. It's well worth the ride if you like Resident Evil.

It can be quite a polarising game, in general most people like it, but would rank last/second last among the classic RE's.
In saying that, it's still classic RE, which is better than 90% of games that release today. I'd play through it 1000 times in a row before playing 5 seconds of RE6, a game which was a crime against humanity of Coldplay-sized proportions.
It unlocks at midnight if you pre-order it.

As someone who has not played either---which order do you folks recommend.
Zero, then REmake, or REmake, then Zero ?

We're back to nonsense like this are we?
Nonsense as in, the guy sucks and blames the game.
Thanks. I can't find the PS4 version page, only the PS3.

If you play 0 first you'll run into story spoilers so you're probably best playing as nature intended (i.e. REmake, then 0).
Yep, brill. Buying now. Thanks for that.

Do you have any idea about the story of the series? Like a certain bad guy? If no, REmake then Zero.
If yes, Zero then Remake.
Zero missing the Crimson Heads felt wrong.

Definately REmake first. Zero assumes you know the basic backstory that was introduced in REmake, which it then builds on.
Aside from that REmake is by far the better game so it's a much more positive place to start, Zero is inferior in every conceivable way so it might turn you off the series before you get a chance to appreciate it.
REmake then Zero for story reasons, if you've played the later games in the time line. Zero then REmake for gameplay reasons.

I would like to know this as well.
Metro review, quite harsh in my opinion. At least they mention the fact that the new controls make the game too easy though.

I can't say I would disagree with any of their criticisms, these things will bother some people more than others.
I don't think the review was an attack on old-skool RE, their main criticisms were that it was poorly paced, predictable and not scary. This was true in 2002 as well, at least in comparison to REmake specifically.

Another one who thinks the gameplay is boring and outdated. Have those reviewers really played the old games? Am I the only one who thinks that tank controls and fixed camera should make a comeback? These games wouldn't even work without it. The updated control scheme makes this game (and REmake) way too easy.
Novum_Veritas

Nwah, you're not the only one,
I liked the pre-rendered backgrounds too, most people find them outdated not sure why, especially if you look at the old games like RE or even Final Fantasy, they used these techniques.
I will play Zero HD with tank controls, 3D controls look to unnatural for me.
We've got over a dozen reviews up on OpenCritic: http://opencritic.com/game/1576/resident-evil-0-hd
I give it a HEARTY recommendation.
RE: Zero is actually in my top 4 games from series, so it's in good company with games like RE2 and REmake.
So... don't use them then? Use the originals?
Giving players options is a negative? Whatever. I'll play with Tank controls.

Quick question as this always confuses me:
Are the default controls for this game the old Resi style controls or are they the easy updated controls?

Interesting. I have completed:
Revelations
Revelations 2
RE5
And I'm currently on Chapter 5 of RE4.
I know some of what the lead bad dude of bad dudes is up to, and that he is in fact a bad dude, but the details are a mystery.
If REmake is the better game overall though then yes I will start there. I'll have limited time in January so it's better I focus on completing that than 0. I can come back to 0 in February before SF5 drops.

The newer analog controls were default in REmake HD so I assume they're the same here.
It's listed as [Alternate] [Original]. Alternate is analog, original is tank.

Unknown, but nothing 2 seconds in the settings will not reveal.

It's about the same, more or less. It's been a while, but I found it's mid-game to be harder than REmake, whereas as REmake started hard and got gradually easier. It does have some cheap sections where you can stuck as one character without good gear, I don't remember how often this happens though.
You should defo play REmake first then

Speaking of controls:
As someone who never played the originals, and was not a fan of RE4 controls too much... do I want to do tank or these new alternate?
I imagine the new alternate, but I just want to make sure.

Downloading now (I'm in Australia so it's the 19th already), looking forward to finally getting to the end this time!
Good to see the reviews are fairly positive so far, the quality of the game itself is arguable but I think it's safe to say it's a good remaster.

One of their con is overpriced? Lol, rubbish.
Their partner system is a pro and a con? Wtf.

Some will tell you to save the best for last, in this case obviously REmake, but I'd suggest playing that first.
REmake is a game best experienced without foreknowledge of RE0, since it was never designed as a sequel. RE0 is a tacked-on prequel in every way, and it shows narratively and contextually. RE0 is also a much more challenging game, both in terms of management, environments and enemies, and it may diminish the brilliance of first experiencing REmake, which will only leave you wanting more.
I say go for REmake first.

Capcom's biggest mistake. I don't mind that they added the easy-mode controls, but going by Youtube playthroughs most people don't play with the new controls because they're consciously against the old tank controls, but rather because they just have no idea what the difference between those two control options is and they just leave it at default because of that.
Just like most people are unknowingly playing on Easy mode (Hiking).

Yeah, that's the idea which makes me excited for it as tank Controls and fixed cameras never bothered me since they were built around the controls and not the other way around when it comes to the original Resident Evil games. You play this REmake or Zero with the alternate controls and you'll have to adjust yourself almost everytime the camera angle changes.
However, at the same time I'm sure they'll add alternate controls to REmake 2 for the people who just despise tank controls and that's a good thing, that means more people would buy it.

Hey now. I have played RE6 as well, and didn't even put it on the list. Even though all my RE's are the newer ones, I still agree with the favored opinion on here that RE6 sucks.
Non stop waves of enemies, a bad Michael Bay movie of plot and set pieces, and a ton more that makes me not like it.
I'll complete it someday, but I have no interest in doing it anytime soon. Leon done, Jake done, working on Chris and I just said "nope... done here."
I really like the franchise so far of what I've played, and I even platinumed RE5 back when it came out. I had complaints about it since it wasn't survival horror and I was going in expecting that. I much much much prefer a game like Dead Space or The Evil Within since their atmosphere is through the roof and the gameplay was far better than the ones I played.
I'm going into these games open minded about old school controls, but hoping to garner a game experience with great atmosphere, characters, plot, music, and if some great gameplay is thrown in that's a bonus, but I'm not expecting it.
