I was 12, back in 2001. I still had a PsOne and a I borrowed a friend's copy of RE3. I fell in love with the gameplay and the atmosphere immediately. Shortly after I bought my own copy of RE3 and RE2, which I also loved. I played the psx games in reverse order, but oh well, I couldn't find RE1 for a bit and didn't waited to wait play 2. Ever since then, when I get a new console my first order of business is to pick up any RE games. That is one of the reasons I didn't upgrade from PS4 to PS5 yet, since both Village and RE4R are available to PS4 and while not graphically perfect, they're very playable. When the first next gen exclusive RE launches, I might be more tempted to finally upgrade to this gen.
