Capcom Initially Against GOG Bringing Original ‘Resident Evil’ Trilogy Back to PC

GOG.com has successfully revived the original Resident Evil trilogy for PC, despite initial reluctance from Capcom, the franchise's creator. Marcin Paczynski, GOG’s senior business development manager, indicated that Capcom preferred their modern remakes and did not initially see the value in releasing the original versions. After persistent discussions, Capcom agreed to the project, leading to a positive reception with 94% positive reviews on GOG. Following this success, Capcom approved GOG's plans to release Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, which launched in January. All titles have received enhancements for modern compatibility and are part of GOG’s Preservation Program to ensure their accessibility.

GOG are doubling down on game preservation, and making it easier to see which games run well on modern PCs

GOG has evolved from focusing on classic games to including modern blockbusters and has announced a commitment to enhancing vintage titles for contemporary hardware through the GOG Preservation Program. This program aims to restore older games, focusing on eliminating bugs and integrating modern features, and will award a "Good Old Game" badge to titles that pass the restoration process. Games with this badge will include all downloadable content, expansions, manuals, and offline installers, and will be DRM-free. GOG is relaunching over 100 games with this status, including notable titles like the Resident Evil series, Diablo, System Shock 2, and Fallout. The program aims to eventually include all games, but restoration requires permission from original developers or publishers.
