What do you guys think the odds of Wesker being in RE7 are?
If the rumors about Wesker still being alive are true, I think it depends on how connected RE7 is to the other games. It would be weird for him to jump in and start terrorizing Ethan or Andre or any of these other people that he doesn't know. If someone like Chris is running around too though, then we might see him.

I want to seem him cartwheel into the room, throw on his shades and be like "nyahhhh it all stops here, you meddling nincompoops" just to have him get his head immediately sawed off and eaten by rednecks.

ethan can't even do a power bomb on super powered hillbillies. he isn't nearly ridiculous enough to handle wesker.

i wouldn't be surprised if he made an appearance like in re4, though.

Now that I think about it, the demo implies that the Bakers believe that (Neo?) Umbrella is spying on them, which seems to suggest that at the very least they aren't on completely friendly terms. If Wesker is in the game, he could be in some kind of supporting role to Ethan.

It would actually be sort of amazing if after the grim texas chainsaw massacre area, it turned into balls out Resident Evil stupidness and they were hiding it all along.

Ethan is Wesker. The entire game is merely a Wesker body clone attempting to recover Wesker's mind unknowingly. The reason it is first person is to hide this twist.

As someone who liked RE2 but hasn't played it since it came out, why exactly do people have such a huge boner for it? The first one has always been the most memorable to me. I enjoyed every single one until 6 but most of the pre RE4 games just blend together for me these days. I don't remember 2 really standing out next to 3 and CV.

I'll have to grab it on Vita one of these days and give it another assessment.

For me it was the sheer amount of content and just the right amount of difficulty. There's 4 storylines (Leon A/Claire B, Claire A/Leon B) + Hunk + Tofu (which I never actually unlocked). It was easy enough for me to beat, and you got rewards for speed-running it. Meanwhile I found Resident Evil 1 to be practically impenetrable. It was just too hard for me, and as a result I never beat it. Then the director's cut came out and that was even harder so, yeah.

I liked Code Veronica but then I got to the mansion and there were bandersnatches jumping all over the place and I turned the game off and never played it again because I'm the world's biggest wuss when it comes to spooky games.

Various reasons, but mainly it's because it had four scenarios (as massive deal back in 1998), was a huge hit that everyone and his dog eventually played back in some form in the day, and then it was also the easiest of the classics so more players actually saw the whole thing through and have much fonder memories of the experience, rather than giving up against the onslaught of Hunters or Nemesis duels or GODDAMNIT loving PLANE TYRANT etc.

Also please don't canonically bring Wesker back leave him be (as a headless melted charcoal lava corpse somewhere in Africa).

I still remember the night my parents brought RE1 home. Mom was expecting it to be something more along the lines of Phantasmagoria, a spooky adventure game, but instead she got that dog hallway and let out a scream before she died.

Then dad tried the game and he started as Chris and got killed by the first zombie

Reminds me of watching my mother trying to get to grips with SMB Lost Levels back in 93/94. "Oh this is poo poo, why did you want this for Christmas?" were her words.

I wonder if that's actually going to be from a flashback. The wall behind her kinda looks like that cramped safe room under the stairs.

Yeah, that was kind of my thought too. Though it seems unlikely they'd design a character model for her to appear in all of one scene.

Kibayasu posted:

RE2 also had infinitely better voice acting and cutscenes, for the time, then RE1. Staggeringly so. And as much as people may harp on gameplay over everything else that poo poo still matters a lot and probably mattered even more back then. It's also much, much easier then RE1, outside of maybe the final Mr X fight who can kill in two attacks, so a lot more people were probably able to finish it.

Then they got to hear that sweet butt rock at the end of the B game.

Yeah, RE2 was pretty much the same game as RE1 but a lot more polished, which is why people remember it so fondly.

As for the voice acting specifically.... yeah, yeah I guess you're right. Most of the characters come off as creepy, stilted, and off-putting when I stop to think about it, like Irons or the gun shop owner. Then again, Irons is supposed to make the player feel uncomfortable, and the gun shop owner only gets weird with Claire (where it's implied he's kind of a goony perv), so it makes a certain amount of sense.

They did the same thing in Degeneration. There's something like a ten-second flashback at one point of Leon and Claire in their RE2 outfits. Some poor jerk spent a couple of days modeling for that.

Given some of the CGI in Degeneration they probably used the same models from RE2.

Neither of them are amazing now, but RE2 was a pretty big step up from RE1 in the graphic detail department at the time too.

Speaking as someone who still has a CRT hooked up, RE2 still looks great today (Gamecube version) whilst RE1 looks like garbage. The environments are so much more detailed in the second one by comparison.

Both look awful on an HD display though.

The game opened with you being attacked by like seven zombies in the first area because the original game had a hard limit of no more than three (roughly human sized) models on screen at a time. It's why Chris/Barry evaporates in the opening of the game and why Wesker tells Barry to gently caress off/shoots Rebecca before going to see the Tyrant. It's pretty funny when you realize it was an engine limitation.

I'm not sure what the actual trigger is, but when the giggler giggled for me I had the key in the backdoor BUT DID NOT GO THROUGH IT, and had just been running the VHS tape and then immediately running to the doll and looking at it. If no giggle, I ran the VHS again. Eventually I got the giggle- hope this helps.

Of course this method involves having to hear Pete ask Clancy if he saw where Andre went even more times. I understand if your sanity can only take so much of something so un-loving-believable. It's the last time I work with that guy.

I'm giving up on it until it's patched, if they even bother to do so. drat coin probably only gets you another dummies finger in the main game anyway.

It has been confirmed you use them for upgrade money in the final game, so at most you are probably looking at getting a gun a bit early or realistically a green herb or something. I want to get it but it really felt like a pain in the rear end when I tried last night and gave up.

Yes it's supposed to transfer to the final game though. Just the old coin not the other stuff.

What combat there was I liked alright in the demo, but elements like being actively hunted by the bakers or ammo crafting or resource management in general aren't really present for the judging. It does promise the spectacle of a clan of hillbillies acting like Mr. X if that sounds appealing.

At least the grenade launcher seems to have been confirmed by PSMUK. So, if it's really like the classic REs, you can just use that to steamroll instead of participating in the combat.

A lot of us like RE6 here. I don't think anyone would call it the best at anything except maybe Mercenaries (And I think there's at least one person that believes RE5's was better), but there's definitely stuff to like in that game.

Not that I'm saying the combat will be good, but judging it entirely based on a demo with no actual combat seems like jumping the gun (hur hur). Yeah you can shoot the mold monster but it's not even a regular enemy.
