The highly-anticipated Resident Evil 3 remake released earlier today (check out our review!), making it the twelfth title in the franchise to appear on an Xbox console so far. The vast majority of those games are available on Microsoft's current-gen system too, with many having been re-released over the years, so you're spoilt for choice when it comes to Resident Evil on Xbox One.
That said, it wasn't until 2009 that the franchise finally made its debut on Xbox with the release of Resident Evil 5. Ports and remasters of various games followed in the years to come, including the beloved Resident Evil 4, while spin-offs included Resident Evil Revelations, Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, and Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City.
In recent years, the series has been going from strength to strength on Xbox One. The critically-acclaimed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard sparked an exciting new direction for the series, while last year's remake of Resident Evil 2 remains one of the best games on the console, with our review here at Pure Xbox giving it a 9/10 and describing it as "a stellar remake of a stone-cold classic".

Best Resident Evil games in my opinion in chronological order:
Resident Evil Remake
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 7
Resident evil 4 without a doubt. I can still remember getting that on GameCube and being blown away by it
Resident Evil, the GameCube remake. I enjoyed that one.
There are great segments in 6 (the one that people seem to hate but that is better than 5) but the thing I don't love about 7 is that it doesn't feel much like Resident Evil. The Revelation games are a mixed bag but I liked them. 0 and 3 aren't bad either. 1 Remake and 4 are probably the best and 2 Remake is great too. I love Code Veronica but it needs a remake.
If I had to choose just one I'd choose 1 Remake.
REmake 2 is my favorite game of the generation regardless of the platform it's on. Capcom did a brilliant job with it. Also happy 3 got a remake. With Code Veronica available on Xbox One through backwards compatibility and PS4 courtesy of the very underused 'PS2 on PS4' program, it's very appreciated that Capcom has made the entire series available for people on one platform whether you prefer the blue team or the green team.
@Gamer83 I love that Capcom is doing that. Also 5 and 6 perform much better on Xbox One and PS4 than on Xbox 360 and PS3. 2 Remake is awesome, just one more remake to go.
Yeah, I like Code Veroinca X, but I have a hard time going back to those tank controls. Only reason I tolerated them in the 90s was because I love the characters, story and world building of the classic RE games. Once CVX gets its remake then Capcom can move onto 8, and I'd also be down for Revelations 3 eventually. I think the Revelation games are fun, little side stories.
@Gamer83 I replayed Code Veronica X recently because I'm replaying all the Resident Evil games since last year and yes, not only the engine but the tank controls, map and the items management need a remake. Also the cut-scenes look much worse than the in-game visuals on Xbox One. The story and the characters are awesome though so a remake is needed here. It's a fascinating game (even in Darkside Chronicles)! Then they can move to 8 but using classic characters because 7 was almost a spin-off. I'm not sure about the first-person view either but they can make it optional.
@BlueOcean
I love RE 7, but I agree 8 needs to return to third person view and I want to see the return of older characters who haven't been in the limelight in new mainline games for a long time. Leon is one of my favorite game characters of all-time but he's been quite overused getting roles in new games and even the animated movies. For RE 8 I was thinking a cast of Claire, Jill and Ada. I've always loved those characters and it'd be great to see them team up, just those 3.
@Gamer83 Jill is my favourite female character and I love her (English) voice too. I don't know if the voice actress is the same in 3 Remake, I hope so. I agree that Leon is awesome but others need to be in the limelight too!
Resident Evil 2 remake is the only one from the series that I played. Looking forward to Resident Evil 3 remake.
The original RE remake is still my favorite. That game blew me away on GC years ago & Capcom even added some awesome content to it.
