Capcom just quietly released the original Resident Evil trilogy (1996–1999) on Steam — something fans have been asking for YEARS.
But there’s a big catch…
These classic versions of
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
are now available on Steam — yet they include controversial DRM (Enigma Protector), even though DRM-free versions have already been available via GOG.
In this video, I:
✔ Give first impressions of all 3 ports
✔ Show gameplay, menus, and settings
✔ Highlight performance and quirks
✔ Compare them to other versions
✔ Explain why the DRM decision is confusing
I also briefly talk about the situation with Resident Evil 4 Remake and its DRM controversy.
If you’re thinking about grabbing these during the Capcom Spring Sale (50% off), watch this first.
💬 Let me know in the comments:
Are you buying these on Steam, or sticking with DRM-free versions?
