The Resident Evil Thread - Part 1

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I haven't played that. I thought it was suppose to be a thriller or something.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I think it's fair to classify it as horror, it's more horror than thriller. It's basically like a Stephen King book in game form.

 

[Electro UK]

But it wasn't scary. Amnesia is the only game in recent memory that has scared me ****less. I miss that feeling

 

[C. Lee]

wolvie seeing a good lot of the other posts that have been here by me before you arrived suddenly and have nothing to do with that til you brought it up and your causing the issue now. it's best you let go. stay out.

pay attention and stay out it. or I'm gonna make sure I'll put it in every other thread and every freaking sentence of each post I make cause you did this. stay out.

You just threatened to go trolling....neither nice nor smart. I suggest you rethink this.....and plan on posting more civilly in the future.

You might be interested in black plague if you haven't checked it out.
It's very similar and has an awsome story.

Capcom needs to put Remake and RE0 in an HD collection... Hell, put two and three in there as downloadable while you're at it.

Money Capcom. Money.

I agree with you there. If ever there were games that deserved an HD treatment it's those ones. All this talk of REmake has me itching to play it. I know what I'm gonna do today!

 

[Matt]

I wouldn't be surprised to see them get HD released over the summer or fall to build up hype for RE6.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Well they have my money if they do. I'm a sucker for all things RE

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Oh god please let them. I would, literally, drop 60 bux on BOTH a REmake and a RE: 0 port to either the 360 or PS3. The REmake may be one of my fav games ever.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Yeah REmake is begging for HD. It NEEDS it

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yeah REmake is begging for HD. It NEEDS it

Oh absolutely.

Im just wondering if its even possible. I think Nintendo has got that sucker locked up tight. Otherwise i figured we'd of gotten the HD port of it alongside RE4 and RE:CV

i am still waiting for a Resident Evil 2 HD remake

Thats a good point. I imagine it would have been easier to make REmake HD than Code Veronica. Besides, REmake is the better game.

It appears we won't get that anytime soon
Maybe in the days of the PS4

It's obvious you haven't played them, because if you had, you would know that REmake and Resident Evil Zero were both made in the classic style and they were awesome.

It's obvious I didn't play them since I said I didn't play it. It's not hard to figure. If future games' gameplay are like the first games, then it'll be hard for me to get into it. They're not good at all.

I keep coming back to games with great gameplay, even if it has a lousy story. But the games with terrible controls are hardly inviting after you play through the story once, even if it is great, which is the case of some RE games.

Also, as you can see, a very beneficial side effect of fixed camera angles is that you get to use prerendered backgrounds which make the games look amazing.

Games already look amazing with today's technology. That is not an issue.
Fixed cameras blocks our vision of what lies ahead in the next corridor/section of the room, as we can see here between 3:05 and 3:30, as one of the many examples:

Not to mention the lack of freedom on Jill's movements. It does seem really improved when compared to the original game, but still not really compelling to me. The over the shoulder view gives a more personal look. We see what the character see. We look where the characters looks. But that is just personal preference. I can talk on everyone's behalf.

Shooters don't have to be from the first-person perspective.

I never said they have to. I just gave you examples. There are some 007 games, which is one of the things I mentioned, that have a third-person perspective.

And a "feeling" is not gameplay. That's the trouble with talking about horror games, because "horror" isn't as much a genre as it is a theme.

But it adds to the gameplay. The whole atmosphere, the horror, the suspense, it all adds to the gameplay. It's what makes you walk carefully, or check every corner, or save ammo, or pick up the right things for the right occasions. It's all part of the gameplay.

Resident Evil 2 came out in 1998 when horror games were still novel. Being the best in its day in the first notable horror franchise in gaming, of course it was going to sell well.

The franchise was in the beginning. It had as many risks as many other games. It sold because it was great and the name was being made since the good reception of the first one. Who played the first knew what was coming.

And as I said earlier, the old Resident Evil games were adventure games at their core, the new ones are shooters. In terms of sales, shooters>>>>>>adventure games. That means it absolutely would be a risk to put a big budget behind an adventure game when shooters are significantly more popular.

Why do you think classic games like XCOM, Syndicate, Fallout to a lesser extent, and others have been revitalized as shooters? Hmm? XCOM and Syndicate were strategy games. Why are they now shooters? Because putting a big budget behind something that isn't super popular and mainstream, like shooters, is a risk.

XCOM, Syndicate and Fallout aren't Resident Evil. RE is a really big franchise. Bigger than all those 3. It isn't a risk to make the console versions having the same thing that Revelations had. This franchise is consolidated. There's huge anticipation behind it. It will sell no matter what is the direction they take with the whole horror-survival theme.

I stopped reading right there. I'm not sure if that's hyperbole taken to the nth degree or if it's just trolling, but either way, we're done.

 

[Jick]

It's the truth. The ''tank'' controls of the first games are terrible and don't hold up well today. You'll find more people who agree with this. They're great games, but the gameplay isn't.

Also, next time you're going to quit a conversation and ignore everything I said because you don't agree with something, warn me before. I don't want to waste my time.

He's right though. You were wrong from the onset.

I wish people like you would stay the hell away from anything Resident Evil. You're the reason we got the RE5 that we did.

 

[Jick]

Oh, grow the hell up, ProjectPat. Learn for once that there are different opinions out there and not everyone have to agree with you and your childish mindset that people are wrong when you think they are.

 

[Benstamania]

I say again... RE4/5 had no less "tank controls" than the originals... Dare I say I thought they controlled WORSE.

And yeah, I can still play the originals. I'm playing RE3 RIGHT NOW!

 

[Matt Mortem]

Started a new game on REmake today, played for a few hours and realized I haven't accomplished a damn thing in the story. I love that game so much!

um yeah no.**** that.there's nothing wrong with the game mechanics changing to open up to a wider base.having nostalgia for something you enjoyed when younger is perfectly fine but times change.
