The Resident Evil Thread - Part 1

How about evading them with ease?
You can still avoid collecting much ammo

 

[ProjectPat2280]

It should have less than RE5 though. There's not much of a scare factor if you can just blast anything that's in your way.

The ammo wasn't really scarce in Dead Space/Dead Space 2 and those were some pretty damn scary games, but yea i agree completely.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

What's DS?

Dead Space

 

[Matt Mortem]

For me it's all about atmosphere. I prefer having enough ammo to take care of what I have to, but I'd rather have a scarier environment than little ammo. Less ammo would have made RE5 suck a lot. The environment and atmosphere was what held it back from being survival horror IMO.

Oh i absolutely agree. But lack of ammo goes a long way. You have to size up each encounter. Do i blow this zombie away now, or do i save it for that possible Hunter thats standing around the next corner?

But yes, the environment is the make or break factor. I go back to DS/DS2. I had plenty of ammo all throughout that game, but it still scared the piss outta me.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

I'm cool with an RE2 game having a bit more ammo. I mean... We are in a police station for over half the game, lol.

seriously! that's what i hated about that. you figure being in the police station you'd have access to more ammo and different weapons, but they made it damn near impossible to acquire any of that

with that said, it'd be nice to get a RE2 HD remake. that was always my favorite RE game.

 

[Nightmare]

an RE2 remake is what ive been longing for for a while now.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I found enough ammo tossed around in RE2 even on Hard Mode
Randomizer on the N64 is awesome, there are places where you can find magnum clips carrying 12-18 bullets

 

[Matt Mortem]

I agree that an RE2 remake would be AWESOME.

 

[Havok83]

Zapping was a pretty innovative feature back when RE2 came out and one of the things I loved most about it. Its a shame they never brought that back in a future title

 

[Matt Mortem]

the first three RE games were so amazing and for me they just haven't built on it. I'm probably in the minority, but I was not fond of RE4. RE5 was OK in that it had connections to previous games. CV was fun but not near as enjoyable as the first 3 (including REmake). I want them to go back to what made RE so cool. Zombies, Umbrella, Horror.

 

[Havok83]

No I felt the same about RE4 and felt it was overrated. It was a good game but didnt feel like RE. It definetly didnt feel like a sequel to CV and I was surrpised to see Umbrella already taken down by the time it opened up. I hated that they didnt follow up on the ending to CV. As for a future title, Id love it if they went back to the horror and do less with the third person shooter its evolved towards

 

[Nathan]

I'd love for them to go back to horror, but I'd still like the over the shoulder view to stay. I'd just like to be closer to the action.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm fine with how the controls were in RE4 and 5, but the game does need a shift back towards horror. I know we technically had a chance to take down Umbrella in The Umbrella Chronicles or whatever, but there really should have been a game that focused exclusively on taking down Umbrella once and for all. After playing Gears of War 3 and getting closure and a good ending, I really wanted that from an RE game. I wanted to be able to topple Umbrella.

 

[Nathan]

The decision was definitely a weird one. You have Umbrella as the villain in the background the entire time. Then RE4 comes along and they have already been beaten.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Yeah skipping that chapter in the overall RE story was a huge WTF for me.

Gametrailer's Code Veronica Review

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I think the only way for them to go back to winning, is for them to just do another side story that takes place at the same time the outbreak is happening in RE. After the outbreak incident the entire series went down hill. Sure RE4 was an incredible game, but it doesn't top the orig, Raccoon City based titles. The REmake is still the absolute pinnacle of this series and it still has yet to be beaten as a Survival Horror title.

I really dont have a lot of faith in them to do anything new and have it live up to the orig games. They might as well just give us that REmake of 2 and port the REmake and Zero to the 360/PS3 as i dont see a true RE6 being better than the orig(REmake)

Gametrailer's Code Veronica Review

Never finished CV. Got to the part where i got to control Chris and stopped playing. Ill pick this up shortly and start playing it again.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i'd be down for a Resident Evil 0 remake

seeing as how that game only came out on the Gamecube, it'd be pretty wise of Capcom to port it over for the PS3 & 360 crowd that never got a chance to play it

 

[Matt Mortem]

I agree. Zero never really got the chance it should have being that it was just gamecube (now Wii). Right now I'd settle with the first 3 games on Xbox

Zero could use a port but it doesnt need to be remade.

Yea neither 0 or the REmake need to be REmade. They still hold up PHENOMENALLY well. It'd be great to get them off of Nintendo's systems and on to systems where they belong.

 

[Matt Mortem]

REmake looks crap on my HDTV. I have the Wii version. Though I imagine that a port on the PS3 or 360 would look good.
