The PlayStation Store is currently holding a sale that offers massive discounts on some of the biggest remakes, remasters, and retro games. As preparation for the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 3, the PlayStation Store is also currently offering a discount on the original Resident Evil trilogy that was released for the original PlayStation. Unfortunately for players on the PS4, the retro Resident Evil games are only playable on the PS3 and the PS Vita.
Headlining the sale is the 1996 title Resident Evil, which is the game that started it all. Resident Evil is available at the PlayStation Store for an extremely cheap price of $1.99, which is 80% off its current list price of $9.99. The game has since been remade for the GameCube in 2002, and that version was then remastered for the PlayStation 4 in 2015. Resident Evil portrayed the events of the infamous Mansion Incident, where series veterans Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine stumbled upon the Spencer Mansion, which houses an underground laboratory that is owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation.

Next on the sale is the 1998 classic game, Resident Evil 2. The game takes place several months after the events of the first game and follows Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who are trapped in Raccoon City that has since succumbed to the T-Virus. Resident Evil 2 is available for the PS3 and Vita for $2.09, which is 65% cheaper than its original price of $5.99. Last year, Capcom released the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 2, which proved to be a massive success after the remake outsold the original game.

Finally, Capcom is offering Resident Evil 3, which serves as a direct follow up to Resident Evil 2. The events of Resident Evil 3 takes place before and after its predecessor and saw the return of Jill Valentine as she once again faces the horrific creatures she thought she left behind in the Spencer Mansion. The game is available for $2.09, which is 80% cheaper than its current price of $5.99. On April 3, 2020, Capcom is set to release the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3, which will introduce an even more terrifying version of Nemesis.

Meanwhile, Sony's Remasters and Retro sale is also offering other Capcom games outside the Resident Evil series. Most notably, the first two Dino Crisis games, which were also released on the original PlayStation, are currently discounted to a price of $2.09 each. For several years now, rumors about a Dino Crisis remake continues to surface online, only for nothing to materialize.
