Barring having to download and install a forty plus hour PlayStation Network update, you should be able to sink your teeth into the first of Capcom’s teased PlayStation One downloadable games, Resident Evil: Directors Cut.
Hitting May 28 for $9.99 on the PlayStation Store, the title is everything you loved and, well, loved about Resident Evil -- loading screens, dialogue, statuesque characters, convoluted story, and of course, zombies.
As mentioned on Capcom-Unity by marketing dude Matt Dahlgren, the original Resident Evil stars Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine -- two important (and playable) characters in the latest Resident Evil, Resident Evil 5.
Although going through the backlog is always encouraged, don’t try to pick out too many story scraps. We’re pretty sure Capcom writes down awesome situations and plot lines on pieces of paper, puts them into a hat and pulls them out at random for every new title.
Interesting (and cute) first choice. Are any of you going to bite?

original. it has been out in Japan for a while actually along with the other PSone RE titles.
Also, even though Resident Evil 4 is one of the most fun games I played, I dislike how they made the plot super serial when the first games were just made to be silly. And had zombies.
Not to be a dick, why would there be a Gamecube game on the PS1 classics section of the PSN Store?
To answer your question, yes its the PS1 game.
I bought the PS game the day it came out in 1996.
Bought the Director's Cut in 1997.
Bought the GC remake in 2002.
And bought the DS version in 2006.
I think I'll pass.
Thank you.
Everything you've just described as flaws can apply Resident Evil 4 and 5.
Well other than the zombies part.
On a side note, how hard do you think it'll be to get non-bestselling mainstream titles on psn? Man, this is why dark_alex has more fanboys than Sony. Oh Sony, you're the abusive spouse I can bring myself to leave.
Bweh? Try finding RE:DC for $10 new online. Any die-hard RE fan already has this game. This release is for anyone who missed out.
Got REmake.
Will probs get this if it comes to EU store, Saves disk scratching.
Was it just me or did everything that happened in Umbrella Chronicles and with Weskers character get dumped for Resident Evil 5?
And while we're at it, Parappa the Rapper and Bust-a Groove 1 & 2. I better stop now, cause this will go on forever...
I am interested in picking up Resi 2 and 3 on the PSN however
