If you don't like RE4, then maybe the average today's Resident Evil isn't the series for you. Maybe give 7 a shot if you're looking for an actual horror vibe. It's holy gently caress.

No I mean I've played through all of them several times, but I completely forgot how long RE4 is. When I rescued Ashley for the third time I was like isn't this where it ends? Then we got onto the truck and I was like yeah this is where it ends but nope. There's three more boss fights sucker! It drags on a bit especially with the ganado gauntlets but hey it's no RE6. EDIT: I've also decided to go with weapons I never tried in previous playthroughs so I went with minelauncher and punisher. Punisher is just godly. You shoot straight clean through shields and hit another ganado behind them, with special upgrade, it's 5 ganados. With those generous hitboxes you can headshot five ganados at once it's great. And the garradors are instakilled by two minedarts. You ring once, pop two shots and they're dead. The best thing about the minelauncher is that you can shoot it up close and run. The only downside is I killed Ashley like 6 times. She died more times than me in this game. Vic fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Minethrower also trivializes the Final Boss to an absurd degree.

I've played through it so many times and I always forget about the whole section in the enclosed container section suspended over the chasm. That part is cool, but somehow it always comes out of nowhere. I think it speaks to the quality of this series that I love the Resident Evil 1,2 style, the RE4 style, and the RE7 style of gameplay. I'm really curious to see what they'll show of RE2 Remake. I think I'll be happy with it regardless of what sort of gameplay they focus on.

There's no foreshadowing to both and they do come out of nowhere. I just finished the game the second time from the endgame save. Decided I'd do a speedrun and holy poo poo it took me over 6 hours. I straight up sprinted through some of the areas. In my hubris I thought a good speedrunner would do it in like 4, but boy was I wrong.

This thread makes me really want to get past the first hour of Dino Crisis. So far I only got to a room and got munched by a T-Rex, then reloaded and escaped before getting immediately eaten by raptors. Game is somehow scarier than any RE title IMO Also why the hell isn't that series on Steam, there were already PC ports done years back!

Like if Onimusha had fallen down several flights of stairs into a pile of guns bad.

If you actually care about the story of Dino Crisis (why would you it's almost as dumb as Resident Evil), Dino Stalker is actually kind of essential to play because Dino Crisis 2 ends in a huge cliffhanger and Dino Crisis 3 is barely connected to the previous games as is, if at all.

Another thing I'm remembering is Dino Crisis 2 has time travelling power rangers who are a resistance force against the dinosaur armies, underwater dinosaur scuba diving harpoon gun sequences, dual wielding Uzis while charging through hordes of raptors and the ending sequence of MGS1, but against a triceratops instead of Liquid. Also, Dino Stalker starts you off as a US Fighter pilot in WW2 and you get shot down by pterodactyls with gatling guns, and must defend yourself as your parachuting down to the ground. ...I loving miss Dino Crisis so bad.

If I remember correctly the trick to the first Dino Crisis is to 1) use the... Plugs? to open weapon (red) boxes before all other boxes, 2) open medical (green) boxes after red boxes and 3) create and use tranquilizer darts from the supplies in the green boxes for normal/upgraded raptors and save all your poison darts which you get from the red boxes for the super raptors in the final area. That way you'll save enough ammo for your other weapons that if you do need to use them you won't run out of ammo. Still tricky at the start of the game though because the puzzles can be even more obtuse than RE1. You'll probably have to backtrack through areas until you know what to do and raptors will wake up from being tranq'd, how quickly depending on the difficulty and which tranquilizer size you used.

I have not played it in like 2 decades but I remember Parasite Eve 2 being vaguely similar to RE and DC, but with an RPG bent. Never played the first one. You were in some kind of western motel town and eventually found the requisite evil labs nearby. The environments and models reminded me a lot of RE2.

PE2 still kept some of the RPG elements for the weapons, powers, and armor from the first game, which did keep it at least more interesting than the basic shooting in RE2, but everything else (environments, movement, combat) became as close to RE2 as they could make it.

Dino Crisis is goddamn great. Unlike RE the puzzles here were actual puzzles you had to work through. I remember actually having a notebook handy to write all the puzzle stuff down to work out. My fondest memory of demo discs was one from Playstation magazine that had a demo for it. It also has a Klonoa demo. That disc ruled. The highlight of the demo was part of it was the second fight with the T-Rex. This was before I really got into horror games and it was absolutely terrifying.

Its slightly more insane than that: the Time Travelers are your protagonists grandchildren from the future who were raised as Dinosaurs mentally in the time traveling space ship that was going back in time to put dinosaurs back after the clean energy of the future made them extinct because it drains energy from the past and brings it forward in time. At the end of the game you fight a massive dinosaur that you kill using a time-displaced orbital laser cannon and get crushed to death under a collapsing server rack with the implication that the other protagonist will eventually use time travel to pull you out from that death into the future so your grand kids can exist and thus closing the timeloop. Somewhere in there your native american indian tracker friend dies and nobody gives a poo poo.

Aw that'd be a good setting for another first person one in the vein of 7. Bunch of houses out on a bayou and you're moving between them on one of those fanboats, could have some horrible infected wildlife and creepy guys lurking around and then various houses of different sizes, abandoned yachts, houseboats and such. Suppose the 2nd third of 7 had a lot of that with the old house and the mosquitos and poo poo but I'm thinking a bit more spread out and free form. Literally cannot wait until they reveal more of the 2 remake and hopefully a followup to 7, with the hints that we're going to see more soon maybe they were waiting until Monster Hunter World came out to start building hype for other stuff? 2 was one of those games that I was obsessed with as a kid, came out right at the perfect time and I played it through so many times cause I didn't have much else to play. Hopefully it keeps the A/B playthrough setup and manages to mix up stuff as much as the RE1 Remake did.

I actually replayed the first one only a couple months ago and, as far as the classic RE games go, it's good. I always thought it kind of weird how there were these other series did a lot more within the classic Resident Evil trappings than Resident Evil ever did on its own but RE is the only one that stuck around. I know Dino Crisis was also Capcom so maybe they just didn't want to create their own competition in the genre but games like Dino Crisis and Parasite Eve really were a fair bit better than RE back then.
