Resident Evil 3 (Classic) is coming to GOG this week
Soon, all three Classic Resident Evil games will be available on PC through GOG
Over the past few months, GOG has been working with Capcom to revive their classic Resident Evil trilogy. This week, Resident Evil 3 will become available on GOG, making all three games purchasable DRM-free on their storefront. Before now, these games were only available in their original disk forms, with compatibility issues making them almost unplayable on modern gaming PCs. Soon, this classic trilogy will be preserved through GOG, with modern Windows support and more.
Resident Evil 3 will be available on September 25th as a standalone game and as part of GOG’s Resident Evil Bundle. All three games now use an “improved DirectX game renderer”, support for modern gamepads, and other improvements. This makes the GOG versions of these three games the definitive way to play these 90s horror classics.
Below is a list of fixes and improvements GOG has made to Resident Evil 3 on PC.
- Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese).
- Mercenaries Mode included.
- Improved DirectX game renderer.
- New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling and more).
- Improved graphics engine initialization and restart.
- Improved video subtitles.
- Improved options dialog.
- Issue-less task switching.
- Improved mouse cursor visibility.
- Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.
