That&apos;s in part because I&apos;m an absolute sucker for the Spencer Mansion: I came late to the RE series and (the remaster of) the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/304240\/Resident_Evil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first game&apos;s Gamecube remake<\/a> remains my favourite of the lot, but it&apos;s also because I&apos;m genuinely astounded by how well the thing runs.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience, GOG&apos;s work to get the old games it sells running on modern systems is never quite enough for me. Don&apos;t get me wrong, I appreciate the effort\u2014it&apos;s more than any other digital storefront tries to do\u2014but I usually still have to do at least a bit of tweaking and modding myself to get the classics running at 100% on Windows 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the original PC release of Metal Gear Solid still really wants you to install the fanmade <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/mgs.w00ty.com\/mgs1\/launcher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MGSI Launcher<\/a> to get a version that doesn&apos;t randomly forget your controller settings, and when I played the first Diablo last year I did it through <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/forget-diablo-4-the-best-way-to-play-the-original-diablo-just-got-a-meaty-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DevilutionX<\/a> rather than sticking with GOG&apos;s default version.

A few hours in and I think I&apos;m actually going to beat this thing, and I&apos;ve not done anything to the game besides install it. My Xbox One gamepad works flawlessly, all four polygons that make up Jill Valentine look pin-sharp using whatever &#8220;Improved DirectX game renderer&#8221; CDP stuck in there, and I can&apos;t find any fault with the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YIaYhT97jes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best-in-class voice acting<\/a>. The only issue I can spot is with the pre-rendered backgrounds: They are, ah, <em>impressionistic<\/em> at best on a modern 1440p monitor, but that never gets in the way of the game, and just because I&apos;m not using any mods doesn&apos;t mean there aren&apos;t fan patches out there you can use to fix that stuff.<\/p>\n<p>It all just works, for real, and while I originally grabbed the game expecting to put the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/classicrebirth.com\/index.php\/downloads\/resident-evil-classic-rebirth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resident Evil Classic REbirth mod<\/a> to use, I&apos;m completely content to go through the rest of the game using the default settings, which it came with when I installed it through GOG Galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>GOG Galaxy, meanwhile, still requires advance warning by post whenever I want to launch it, and regularly forgets who I am like some kind of dying aunt in my taskbar, so I guess you can&apos;t have everything.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"2NBi5v82jmwY5FNCyTXKHM\" name=\"19f594d14dc2f85dc55d4cc2b6acb20daf9493772cbc83c7f206187eb1f60665.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Redfield stumbles upon a corpse.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/i-spent-the-last-week-roaming-the-spencer-mansion-and-im-here-to-tell-you-not-to-sleep-on-the-new-gog-release-of-1996s-resident-evil-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So consider this a PSA if you&apos;re curious about returning to the classic Resi games, but don&apos;t want the faff that inevitably comes with booting anything before 2011-or-so on a modern PC: GOG really knocked this one out of the park.
