# Resident Evil (1996)

> "Evil Has a New Address. Yours." Your Special Tactics and Rescue Squad has been choppered to a remote mansion to investigate a biotechnical experiment gone hideously wrong. Before you can say “mass murder,” you’re plunged straight into a deathtrap writhing with man-eating freaks, swarming crows and rabid dogs. Arm yourself with knives and flame-throwers scavenged from dead teammates. Solve puzzles, disarm traps and unearth mysteries. But beware: every move you make draws you deeper into the deadly embrace of Resident Evil. 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. Graphic Option Settings Overview "Display mode" - Provides the control over monitor resolution and refresh rate. "Presentation" - Provides the control over presentation mode (fullscreen / windowed). "Aspect ratio correction" - Provides the control over image aspect ratio correction. "Scaling method" - Provides the control over image scaling mode (how image is scaled on a monitor). "Vertical synchronization" - Provides the control over vertical synchronization (frame synchronization). "Gamma Correction” - Provides the control over gamma correction (image brightness). "Anisotropic filtering" - Provides the control over anisotropic texture filtering technique (texturing quality). "Antialiasing" - Provides the control over anti-aliasing technique (3D geometry edges smoothing). ※WARNING※ The difference of each settings may be difficult to distingush depending on the environment Completely uncut, with even more blood, graphic violence and gory scenes than the worldwide monster hit version on PlayStation. A swarm of unknown horrors prowl the mansion’s hundreds of rooms, including its underground lairs, the graveyard and some unwelcoming guest houses. Unprecedented detail-intense texture maps, shadows and lighting effects, plus ever-changing camera angles, create a frighteningly rich 3-D environment. Choose to play tough guy marksman Chris Redfield or hardcore demolition expert Jill Valentine, both brought to life with realistic polygon character graphics. Ominous digital surround soundtrack features haunting music that intensifies the action. This re-released version of the game was co-developed by GOG.
