Capcom The Resident Evil Thread

You know who else was a rookie? LEON S. KENNEDY! It's literally his first day on the job and he's fresh out of the academy when he gets dropped into a zombie apocalypse. Claire Redfield isn't even a police officer. She's a 19 year-old-kid. Kennedy had absolutely no experience he's fighting and curb-stomping zombies and Umbrella monsters

These games aren't realistic and they've never strived for realism. Jill Valentine is the master of unlocking and almost became a jill sandwich.

As for how they could be ambitious, their settings alone are unique locations for the franchise and there's plenty they could do to have fun with it. You could also expand the playthroughs of Steve and Billy and show more of their backstories.

Leon and Claire are apples and oranges as Leon didn't act like Rebecca as a damsel and distress in his first game. Fighting zombies weren't in their resume for their first game but Leon and the rest including Claire, held themselves pretty well unlike Rebecca in RE1. Yet in RE0, she was already killing zombies before Jill and Chris.

As for expanding the story of Billy and Steve, expanding someone's story doesn't mean more ambitious though, that's just a natural progression when you're remaking something as they should offer something else to differ it from the original especially its been more than 20 years. You still haven't said how both remakes could be as ambitious as RE4R. And not all games need to be as ambitious as the last one or we wouldn't get a RE7 in its form. They would be hopping into several countries/continents if they wanted to be as ambitious as RE6.

I thought RE0 was pretty good and better based on the negativity I had heard about it. With that said it's unfortunate that it peaks early because the train section is by far the best and most memorable section and the atmosphere never gets as good as that part again. But overall a solid game, though not the longest one.

I've never played Code Veronica and I would gladly play a remake since I know people love it.

 

[psylockolussus]

Re0's concept of a RE game in a moving train was a very cool idea. But too bad it didn't last long.

Also back then, I wanted a classic RE game set in a big yacht. That would have been dope.

Rebecca actually survived the whole mansion on her own and is not a damsel in distress.

Decided to do the DLC for some of the games. Started with RE2-make and RE7. Took me about a week to get through the 4th Survivor. And went through Not A Hero pretty quickly on RE7.

Really finally I can finally add 4th Survivor to my list of gaming accomplishments.

Something tells me this would be higher had they not ported the **** out of it. I think only Skyrim has it beat in that department.

 

[TheVileOne]

The original version of RE4 got ported everywhere so it makes sense.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm more interested about the next remake than REIX.

Oroboros and black zombie hunting.

Oroboros and black zombie hunting.

Its either RECVR or RE0R that is next. Then when those are done, RE1R2. So all mainline games would be in third person perspective.

RE5R remake, I don't need it. But I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a remake as well.

 

[Zantera]

I would be more hyped for remakes of CV or 0 (or even the original) than 5 personally. Haven't had a chance to play CV at all so that would be great. I also think 5 feels more modern and I wasn't a huge fan. If it wasn't for 6 being weaker, 5 would be my bottom pick out of the numbered games.

But I do expect them to remake 5 at some point because it sold really well. If they do I just hope they make it scarier. The lack of horror made it feel pretty disappointing, I remember a specific part when you go down a hallway and there's like 8 lickers coming towards you and you just mow them down with your machineguns, and I remember thinking "these creatures used to scare the **** out of me".

 

[psylockolussus]

I feel like RE9 is taking quite some time.

While they need to get the ball rolling with more remakes since RE4R is so well received. I just hope we don't get remakes like RE3R again.

RE1
RECV
RE0
RE5
RE6

They have plenty of options for remakes. As for RE9 and RE10 - I don't know where their direction is going. Killing off Ethan and the time jump were just confusing to me.
