The Resident Evil Thread

[Jick]

I'd rather see a remake of RE3 than another of RE1.
I don't think CV needs one either. The controls might be bad but the visuals are still good enough to look at. Give me RE8 or something else, instead.

 

[Iceman]

I can do without the spiders too.

 

[psylockolussus]

The graphics of CV look **** even back in the ps2 days.

I don't mind the spiders, I love stepping on the baby spiders.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

DC? Darkside Chronicles? Why?

Hellion probably meant Dino Crisis.

 

[psylockolussus]

Never played that.

 

[Terror Inc.]

Never played that.

Made by Capcom, during the height of the Resident Evil days. Another survival horror game, but with dinosaurs instead of zombies. You play as Regina, a member of a special forces unit sent in to investigate. With what the RE2 remake turned out to be, Dino Crisis could be amazing.

 

[psylockolussus]

I've seen videos of it, it doesn't interest me.

 

[Teelie]

Today is the DLC release. I haven't turned on my PS4 to see if it is out yet though.

 

[Hellion]

DC? Darkside Chronicles? Why? It was a rehash of 2/CV with only Leon/Jack getting a new chapter. And I'm not sure how much stuff they can remake from that Leon/Jack chapter.

imo, they should remake Re1 again after CV. Get the third person perspective view in the infamous mansion!

Dino Crisis.

 

[Teelie]

The DLC did indeed come out yesterday. Haven't gotten to it yet as I'm still working on Claire-B. Just had no time to play this week.

 

[X Knight]

so any advice on best ways to shoot/kill zombies in order to conserve as much ammo as possible?

 

[The Infernal]

Depends on your set up. I think the head is still the best best if you want them down permanently, but it's a gamble with bullets. Taking out their legs and either running past or slashing from behind can save on ammo though.

Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake was released last month, almost instantly becoming one of the most talked-about games of the year; exceeding all expectations from both the developer and fans of the survival horror series.

In fact, not a week after the game launched, Capcom revealed that Resident Evil 2 had managed to ship an impressive 3 million units — giving Resident Evil 7 a good run for its money in the sales department.

Resident Evil 2 was able to recapture all of the elements that made the Resident Evil series a household name, by simply going back to its survival horror roots; delivering an experience that satisfied long-time fans, as well as newcomers to the series.

As a treat for those fans that have played the original titles, more in particular the original Resident Evil 2, Capcom has released the '98 Classic costumes for Claire and Leon — which make the characters look like their 32-Bit counterparts from the original game.

These classic Resident Evil 2 costumes are available, as of today, for everyone who owns the game as a free download on the respective PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam online stores.

If only they would have put a damn T-shirt on her first "classic" design.. We wouldn't even need this.

 

[Teelie]

They are faithful but damned ugly skins.

I finally got to finish Claire's run and get the true ending. It wasn't as hard a fight as I was expecting but it was still a good fight.

Be prepared to relive the first nightmare in Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original Resident Evil game. This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. It’s the best way to experience the story of what really happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire Resident Evil saga.

The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team – including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers – to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen.

Capcom's RESIDENT EVIL 2 Remake Has Managed To Sell Over 4 Million Units In A Month
After having released in January, Capcom's acclaimed Resident Evil 2 remake has managed to sell a very impressive 4 million copies within its first month since launch.Read more

Capcom's Resident Evil 2 has proven to be exactly what fans of the long-running survival horror series needed: a proper return to form that focused on the survival aspect rather than the action.

Within the first week since the remake's release, Resident Evil 2 managed to sell an impressive 3 million units; exceeding all expectations by performing even better than Resident Evil 7 when it released in January of 2017.

Capcom recently announced that Resident Evil 2 continues to exceed their expectations, as the game is reported to have been shipped over 4 million units within its first month since release; with the developer attributing this sales momentum to the overwhelmingly positive reviews the remake has had.

For reference, the original Resident Evil 2, since its original launch all the way back in 1998, has managed to sell a fairly impressive 4.9 million units.

Resident Evil 2 had already been reported to be amongst the best-selling titles of January, alongside Kingdom Hearts III and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. This, coupled with the fact that Capcom revealed that Resident Evil 5 is the best-selling title in the history of the franchise — with over 10 million copies can only mean good things for the series that was thought to have become stale over the years.



The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.

Resident Evil 2 is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam.

Hopefully they consider that a success.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

As I await the full package to be released I've been playing the original trilogy on the PS1, and I'm not a fan of that 4th Survivor mode cause the saving room near the helipad is merciless.

I really hope the map stays close to the original. Out of the first three, Re3's setting was my favorite because I really felt the thrill of zombiecalypse. I'm expecting the roads to be wider, but I hope they keep the police station, post office, the restaurant, the office that was blocked by a fire, the bar, in where they were located in the originals map. I liked the map of downtown/uptown. The dirty factory though was my least favorite I don't mind if they drastically change it. And I hope Carlos is still playable, its a shame they didntbring himback for another numbered game. Yet Sherry who was a kid back then, got to return, like no offense to Sherry, but she wasn't one of the supporting characters I wanted to return. The supporting characters from the first three, I wanted to return were Barry, Ada and Carlos. From CV, Steve. Then in Re0, Rebecca. Though in Re6, I didn't use Jake but her in their campaign.
