Prior to the launch of thePlayStation Plusrevamp, Sony kept mostly quiet about the lineup and what exactly it would entail. As a result, it was unclear to PlayStation fans how many classic games they would be able to access with their PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.

And like other classic PS1 games available through PS Plus Premium, there are some additional enhancements forResident Evilfans to check out.
Namely,Resident Evil: Director’s Cuton PS Plus Premium lets players save whenever they want as well as rewind the game.

Thesave states available through PS Plus Premiumessentially negates that if fans to utilize it, but it’s a completely optional feature.
One thing missing fromResident Evil: Director’s Cuton PS Plus Premium is trophy support. While there aresome PS1 games with trophies on PS Plus Premium, likeApe EscapeandSyphon Filter, it was made clear from the get-go that trophy support wouldn’t apply to all games available on the service. Even so, this may be disappointing news forResident Evilfans who were hoping to get a Platinum trophy for the classic game.
It’s worth pointing out that there areotherResident Evilgamesavailable with PS Plus Premium as well, includingResident Evil 4throughResident Evil 6, and a number of spin-off titles, so fans of Capcom’s horror franchise should be kept plenty busy by the new tiers.
