So far loving Revelations, the atmosphere of it is really creepy and there's the occasional scare. One thing that I've noticed that in between elevators the game does seem to have an FPS drop, but other than that it runs pretty smooth. Really looking forward next month to play Operation Raccoon City, just not really sure where to pre-order from.

Policenaut posted:Hey, check it out. Trophy list for RE: The Umbrella Chronicles HD only 12 achievements? If they're planning on doing Darkside in HD then they better be able to match the achievements they had on the Wii version and that's like...30? It's kind of frustrating when they do these re-releases and don't do anything with the achievements, I mean I bought a God of War 1 and 2 bundle for the extra controller and that one has like 30 achievements or more for each game and what do we get for RE4 of all things? loving chapter completion trophies

What is the best version of RE2? I own a backwards compatible PS3 and Wii. Should I buy a PS1 copy, download it from PSN or hunt down the Gamecube version? Or is there one I'm missing?

So, any new news on RE6? I'm really hoping it's gonna be more like RE4 rather than 5. Being alone is much scarier than babysitting an AI partner for the entire game. Also, bring back the attache case for storage!! Although it looks like Leon and Chris are involved, in two separate areas, so maybe we'll have both: an actiony co-op fest with Chris like RE5, and a slower paced, solo thing with Leon.

Or am I totally off base here? Also it just depends on what system you want to have it for. I have all my RE games, except 5, on Nintendo systems just cause that seems like the place for them, and they're all out for it.

If you're skipping cutscenes in a Resident Evil game, you're a bad person (unless it's 4 or 5). But that's interesting, as far as I knew all the ports were the same except for the N64 one.

Also, bring back the attache case for storage!! From the gameplay snippets I've seen, it looks like characters are capable of doing slides, sidestepping, etc. In short, I would honestly be entirely shocked if RE6 maintains the now "standard" RE4/5 controls; I think it's going to totally adopt the new standard (like Dead Space) and be way more shootery. It also looks like there's a more robust cover system. Everything just gives that impression to me, in particular if they get kung fu dodge moves they can pull off in a non-scripted fashion. In short I think RE6 will be the moment the series transitions from survival horror to Max Payne. Not that it doesn't look fun anyway but I think if you're hoping for horror or being alone, you're out of luck. That said, I hope they port Revelations to other systems besides the 3DS because the 3DS poor sales and limited hype surrounding it are a travesty. It's a great full RE installment - I've been playing around with it on my girlfriend's 3DS and I'm hooked. The multiplayer is incredibly well done and I suspect it's a template to how they'll handle RE6 - so much more interesting than mercenaries.

It looks to me like the Leon sections are more dedicated to being alone and being scary (hopefully with limited ammo and a little more old-school survival horror) and the Chris sections are gonna be Gears of War. Yeah I saw Leon sliding and shooting while lying on his back but that doesn't mean his sections can't be scary and have a slower pace.

Question/speculation for anyone who's finished Revelations and seen the RE6 stuff... do you think the "bitch" Chris mentions in the RE6 trailer might be Jessica?

Yea I'm seriously hoping Revelations end up being the template for 6, the game is just fantastic and the best RE in years. I also hope they adopt the co-op system here, in single player your partner has their own poo poo and cannot die, no more improtu game overs because the retarded A.I ran headfirst into a chainsaw guy, the only drawback is that all enemies focus on you but that's a small price to pay. The customization system is also spectacular.

Yep - your partner is next to useless in the shooting department, too, but again I rather have that than be forced to play a co-op game with a bot. That just always sucks. Also the multiplayer system in Revelations is awesome, and way better than anything the series has done so far. I would be shocked if it's back to Mercenaries after this. I don't understand the lack of hype the non-full releases are getting. If my girlfriend wasn't a huge Resident Evil fanatic, I wouldn't even know about the upcoming Operation Racoon City and it looks like a game I'll love. But it's totally getting zero marketing at least around here.

I've finally played through the whole series(1->5). Ended up skipping Code Veronica just because after playing 4 I couldn't go back to those tank controls. One thing 5 really needs is boss health bars, or at least some sort of indicator that you need to start a QTE. I spent 15 minutes fighting the spider boss before figuring out you need to hit the Square button next to him in order to progress the fight.

psychoticBacofoil posted:"The game's third main character is meant to be someone young people can relate to." You pretty much just described Leon, except for the "voiced by Nolan North" part. Which makes it even more confusing as to why they felt they needed another character who fills the same role.

psychoticBacofoil posted:"The game's third main character is meant to be someone young people can relate to." Relax, he has a cool voice actor (one of the Boss's from Saint's Row 3! also, somewhere else I can't place) and seems to be a vaguely amoral mercenary who is selling BOWs. If he's Alex Wesker, then he's probably going to be an rear end in a top hat--at least at the start. I'm sure they'll have him die redeeming himself with swelling piano music or something similarly schmaltzy.

I can see him working if he's somewhat self-aware. A more lighthearted jerk could even out the game since Chris and Leon both seem to be having really bad days.TheJoker138 posted:You pretty much just described Leon, except for the "voiced by Nolan North" part. Which makes it even more confusing as to why they felt they needed another character who fills the same role. They also described Chris except he isn't voiced by Nolan North either. I don't think Nolan North voices anyone in this series, actually. And while attempting to confirm that I found out that Paul Mercier isn't voicing Leon in ORC. Canceling preorder while shaking my head in disgust.

Troy baker is Yuri from Tales of Vesperia, one of the boss voices from SR3, Snow from FF13 and Kanji Tatsumi from Persona 4. Based off this the 3rd guy might be cool if only by the virtue of his voice acting.

Off topic, but I've decided to give RE5 another shot. The AI still sucks , so I wanna play co-op. Anyone with a 360 up for it? My GT is JimPhillips. No prob, that's where I live too! V MmmDonuts fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Feb 15, 2012 |

I'm actually surprised that there's no female lead to choose from, just three males. I had a lot of fun with the female characters in RE5's mercenaries because their melee attacks were so fun, especially Jill's double knee gutbuster and Sheva shank. MmmDonuts, send a friend request to Angular Squid. I'm usually on at various points throughout the day. e: it should be noted that I'm EST, US.

I pre-ordered ORC on ps3, the special edition version. Will I get all the silly lovely DLC weapons and stuff? I really didn't want to order from gamestop but I totally missed that amazon deal. The worst thing about it, no in-store pickup for ORC for gamestop in my state. It is like Capcom doesn't want me to buy this game or something. Is it safe to assume Umbrella chronicles will be appearing on ps3 soonish? usually those trophy/achievement lists don't pop up until a month before launch. Is it safe to assume a $15 price tag? It doesn't have a platinum trophy, so I mean it has so be fairly cheap then. I'll be happy no matter what, if they release darkside at the same price, since I was willing to pay $50+ for both games on 1 disc.

I knew he meant $15 for each. I guess I know capcom too well? I just hope RE6 doesn't have exclusive content. Or rather that I can get all that day-1 DLC without a hitch buying an overpriced LE/SE/CE of RE6. edit; The day I removed Chris from the plasticnite that held him in place, preserved him--if you will, was the day his hand broke off and my entire RE5 LE was made useless. Capcom I will get my revenge!

I placed my preorder for the RE:ORC special edition through Capcom's site today, and apparently I get a "Welcome To Raccoon City" sign. Pretty sweet. Too bad Aliens: Colonial Marines didn't have a sweet preorder bonus. I wish it was the end of March already. EDIT: Should I even bother with the lightgun games if I don't have a move? I haven't gotten around to buying one yet, but I tried playing Dead Space:Extraction with a controller a while ago and it was pretty unbearable. I wish there was just some sort of lightgun I could buy that meant I didn't have to drop $100+ to enjoy $30 worth of game.

There was a namco blaster 4, or something for when timecrisis 4 was released, but I am not sure if it works with anything else, and personally I would advise against it. Move seems to be the only "fun" way to play the lightgun games. I guess what I suggest is to add up $150 worth of games you can only play with a lightgun then decide if you want one or not. I think my move is really worth it, but I also didn't expect much than wii ports and I have been very pleased.

I blew over a hundred bucks on Move only to find that I get violently motion sick when I try to play a light gun game with a pointer. I'd sell all my Move stuff and then some to get a modern working GunCon for PS3.
