Yeah, I'm not sure how "It's basically just more Resident Evil 4" is supposed to dissuade me from buying it.

My only concern about it is the supposed performance issues even on current gen systems. Really hoping the PC port turns out to be decently scalable, as my 560ti is getting a bit long in the tooth

Does The Evil Within have any sort of Mercs-like mode upon game completion?

Right now I've got all of one game for the PS4 and I'm pretty much done with it.

I have the PS4 version, it looks nice but the framerate is all over the place and it's managed to develop UE3 style texture pop-in. It's disappointing considering that Wolfenstein ran flawlessly at 60fps so it's not the engine's fault.

Were you able to redeem your preorder code? The one that came in mine won't work, but last time something like this happened it was because they had to update the server before any codes worked.

I beat RE6 last night. Overall, I liked the game, but the bad parts are way more memorable than the good parts. I think I enjoyed 4 or 5 more. Is it me or was Ada's campaign complete poo poo through and through? I think my favorite part was the beginning of Leon's campaign, before the catacombs. edit: Leon's campaign was film noir, Chris' campaign was a buddy cop movie, Jake's campaign was a date movie/chick flick, and Ada's campaign was a spy thriller. I still have no idea what the gently caress was going on.

From what I hear, each of the campaigns was made by a completely different team, with little to no interaction between them. Hence why they feel so wildly different.

Early in Leon's campaign is pretty much a sample of what we could have had with a remake of RE2 (hopefully without all the QTEs and heavily scripted segments though). The section with the other survivors was really cool and could have been amazing if it were more dynamic. Imagine what an incentive to play well it would be if you could get everyone out alive!

That would make complete sense to me. If they make a Resident Evil that's essentially Leon's campaign before they hit the catacombs, and way longer, it would be the tightest poo poo ever. Constantly having to be on the run because poo poo's falling apart around you is great. Anonymous Robot posted:Early in Leon's campaign is pretty much a sample of what we could have had with a remake of RE2 (hopefully without all the QTEs and heavily scripted segments though)... Yes, this is exactly what I think too.

Personally I like the fact that you couldn't save everyone. That part of campaign felt really intense to me, and I think a big contributing factor was the fact that your fellow survivors, despite fighting furiously, were ultimately being picked off one by one with horrifying quickness. The rushed nature of the scene made it all the better: there was basically no time to grieve, or last futile attempts to save anyone's life, because poo poo was happening so fast and you absolutely had to keep moving. But yeah, I can see how making it feel like your actions have more of an actual impact by letting you occasionally save people would be good too.

Less set pieces, bigger open areas like the subway tunnel encounter, more zombies and varied mutants/creatures, updated controls, ruined city setting, completely awesome.

It's just annoying in the sense that it really feels like it's Leon/Helena's fault for getting all those people killed in those first couple of chapters. Like, Leon's job is saving people from zombies and pretty much all he does in the first three chapters is get people killed by them by farting around- the people in the church are definitely the worse than the bus and plane since they actively release the monster from the crypt before leaving the other survivors to get nuked. As for Evil Within: everything I've seen about it makes me really, really interested in how Revelations 2 is gonna work 'cuz it seems like Mikami ended up really hitting the same/similar notes in regards to how they explore the core system design for an action-based survival-horror game.

You actually can save people in the church if you kill the monster fast enough. There's even an achievement to save two female survivors.

No, wait, she's not the worst, I can totally explain why she isn't! But instead I'm going to clamp my mouth shut, be silent and brooding and repeatedly put you at risk for basically no good reason whatsoever. (She really is. I think she might be WORSE than Burnside, because at least he's just an idiot.)

Helena at least has a good voice actor, she beats Burnside for that. As for Ada's campaign, the final boss fight was a thing to behold, holy poo poo.

I actually played RE6 again a few weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot more this time around than I did two years ago. When the game just lets you cut loose and run around fighting monsters, like Jake's third chapter, it's really quite fun. I didn't welcome the gimmick sections but the only one that really pissed me off was the snowmobile one, I managed to get through the humvee chase on one try. I even found a few things I had no idea about before - when playing as Ada I accidentally countered Deborah when she jumped at me, leading to a QTE where I attacked her weak point with a flurry of punches. I also never knew you could do stuff like microwave the regenerator hands too.

At least Steve got more entertaining in Darkside Chronicles; still an idiot but tolerable. Helena is intolerable and won't be in future games probably.

I didn't have a problem with Helena. It was ridiculous that she couldn't get Leon in the loop before she did, but that's what makes his campaign so film noir-ey. Certainly no more ridiculous than the poo poo that happened in other campaigns.

Is the bonus Raid stuff a Sony exclusive? I got one of those old-rear end PS2 compatible PS3s, and the poor thing's memory is tiny. I was hoping to avoid doing the old delete/redownload juggle if I wanted to play Dynasty Warriors or something, but poo poo, I love Raid Mode

It's only been announced for Sony platforms so far, but in this day and age I'd be genuinely surprised if it doesn't make its way to Microsoft platforms eventually.

Regarding a plot point in Revelations, is it significant at all that Jill injected herself with the T-Abyss vaccine, or is it solely to let her survive taking a swim through the virus just a few seconds later?

So I got a chance to read the Game Informer article about Revelations 2, and the producer's in there saying that if you're really hardcore, you'll recognize the name of the female character who's taunting Claire and Moira through the intercom. People have been thinking Alex Wesker could be female since RE5, since very little's known about the character.

I was gonna say, I didn't find Helena particularly dumber than any of the other one off RE characters (I mean c'mon this is a franchise with Fong Ling, Morpheus, Excella, Bruce McGivern etc. in it) when she has rad moves and a rad shotgun.
