Yeah remake looks awesome. I think its all about using prerendered backgrounds which frees up the rest of the systems power to be used on character models and effects. Maybe if everyone buys this new Remake then Capcom will finally do a remake of RE2.

I don't remember if they made Claire do really stupid things in RE2, but the REmake made Jill do really stupid things to keep the plot from breaking up. Another remake should treat her better than Jill.

Jill's not the sharpest knife in the drawer in 3 either; blowing up a kitchen at point blank range, leaping out of a speeding tram instead of using the emergency break, jumping out of a third floor window and leaping off a tall bridge into a rocky water below in the middle of the night are all valid tactical options apparently. Not to mention hanging around Raccoon City despite forewarning for several weeks and deciding that outfit is the sensible choice for a zombie outbreak.

Until you play it on a HDTV. I recently played the gamecube version on my wii, and yeah, it needed the upgrade badly.

Have you tried it on the Gamecube itself? It looks fine to me when I play it through Gamecube with a composite-HDMI converter.

It's understated how good REmake really is. It's probably one of the greatest games I've ever played. Everything about it is quality. Plus... the Crimson Heads? Holy gently caress.

This a thousand times. In my opinion it's the best game in the series and I really hoped at the time that it was the direction they would take for futures games. Sadly the hype over RE4 killed any hopes of that happening.

Anyway, really glad they're re-releasing it, I envy those who didn't get to play it the first time around. :)

Metal Gear Leon: Revengence is the most amazing bonus costume and I am legitimately upset we didn't get it.

Also Hunters are in Revelations.

I hope they shower us with all kinds of bonus outfits and weapons. REmake's was kind of lacking. The Samurai Edge was pretty rad, given, but it was no infinite magnum. I wonder if they're going to include Mercenaries as well. It can be like 4 and give us the Handcannon as a reward for getting good scores in it.

Dewey was actually supposed to be a New Game+ character. I'm not exactly sure how that was supposed to work out, if he was supposed to be a playable character, that you could unlock or something else.

I doubt it would change anything. I played it with component cables and it's a jaggy mess. I mean it's not a HD game so it looks about as good as one would expect.

Becky's red Jill-style uniform is adorable, and I am incredibly furious that Dracula Leon didn't make it into a game.

edit: gently caress I'd buy that Dracula outfit as a 5 dollar DLC. 10 bucks if it makes Leon talk in a bad Lugosi impression.

I honestly don't want an RE2 remake. Spend the same resources and make a new game set in a new city with a new outbreak. I'm tired of Raccoon City over and over again.

There used to be rumors of an ORC sequel set in the Terragrigia outbreak that you see in a couple of flashback levels in Revelations. I'd be genuinely interested in that.

Each STARS member had to make their own uniforms at home before officially joining the team. It is a tradition that Leon carried on to the standard police force.

Any modern outbreak scenario set in the RE:REV universe would kick rear end, especially if you played as a FBC or BSAA rookie or some poo poo. The anti-bioterrorism organizations are really cool unique thing that RE games have set up and they really haven't taken advantage of how much potential they set up (and might never take advantage of it) which really sucks.

I could see a horror-based crime show set in the early RE universe working very well, but either the entire first season takes place over the course of an hour or they're already doing their own thing.

I know the series's continuity is crazed, but there's a lot of room in there for a show to take place. I want to say that in the games' timeline, Raccoon City became Umbrella central around 1983, and promptly turned most of the downtown area into a honeycomb of secret passages and sewer access. Combine that with how hilariously sociopathic their entire loving workforce is and you'd have the ingredients for a pretty good setting: the one good cop in the city stumbles into the middle of it all and has to figure out how he's going to stay alive, let alone actually do his job.

They could do something with the BSAA and FBC, since they're basically detectives that solve Zombie crimes in Revelations/RE5/6. They could do something with Jessica's role in the ending, or Ada too.

Disgusting. Another murder in a gas station, some guy cut down in the prime of his life, shot dead like some filthy animal.

I bent over to check his ID, only to find a folder tucked into his shirt. It talked about how he was sure his boss, the head of the Easy Bake Oven company, were going to kill him for selling company secrets for a mutagen they had made with the Umbrella Corporation to turn wiener dogs into water breathing slug things.

Not thirty feet away, in an alley, I found another body gunned down by machine gun fire. On him was another file, telling about how guilty he felt that he had killed that guy for selling corporate secrets, and that he was worried that he himself was going to be hunted down to tie up loose ends. The file ended with something about how much it hurts to have your stomach filled with lead by some guy named Hunk from the Umbrella special forces.

Not a single scrap of useful evidence between the two bodies. The trail had gone cold. It started raining, like all the angels of heaven decided to take a piss at the same time. I could relate.

Seriously though there a whole lot of stuff they could do around the BSAA, it's sad to see that much potential wasted.

They could make a X-Com like in which you build up a base while yet another Umbrella offshoot group of assholes tries to take over the world. Train new guys, develop new weapons, capture BOWs to develop better ways to fight them, while getting your team of badasses parachuted all over the world to stop the 25 simultaneous outbreaks. Of course, your scientists would innevitably end up betraying you once they think they can get away with it.

Have mystery mutilations, murders and the like, leading to various people (e.g. they usually get their killer by the end of the episode, Law and Order style). In the lead up to the end of Season 1 have someone who usually comes up with crazy theories start putting together that all the various people are Umbrella employees, and have the final episode of Season 1 end with the latest killer-o-the-week being a proto-zombie and end on a cliffhanger.

Season 2 becomes more like Fringe or Supernatural in the lead up to the Arklay Mansion incident.
