It'll go through an engine block. I remember some gun-nut friends bitching that the Desert Eagle isn't a great handgun, though. I guess it looks cool, so it's got a place of pride in films and what-have-you, but it's not a particularly reliable gun.

Wanderer posted:Developers could just about get away with that sort of thing in the late PlayStation era because video games were at the tail end of the no-respect period, but now they'd have to negotiate with the manufacturers for licensing rights, which would likely come hand-in-hand with all sorts of weird restrictions. Make a thread on this please!

Speaking of guides, anyone else own the Versus Books guide for RE2 years ago? I let it go when I sold off all my psx stuff as a kid but got it again on eBay years ago. Any die hard fan of the game should give it a read if they can get their hands on it.

That is because prima is complete trash, like bradygames, but the Versus books, while limited (and unofficial) were awesome. They made a FF7 guide too. I just remember the big listing of items, some not in the final game. Ones description was "only Shinji Mikami knows what this was for" and that always unsettled me for no good reason

I had one when I bought RE2 back in the day that didn’t even mention the B scenarios or the 4th Survivor game. So I was quite confused when that came up.

Try and limit the derail here but the Brady games ff9 one I had was about as thick as the games manual because all the content was actually online and you had to go to their site and enter codes from the book for the corresponding section and yeah complete disaster.

I still have the Versus RE2 guide and it's fantastic. Prima's and, before, Brady's outputs were hit or miss. I think it just comes down to time constraint and the author. But yeah, no guide I own is good as that Versus book. Those hand-drawn maps and personable text were something else.

What sort of behind-the-scenes changes did they make to the HD ports of Resident Evil 4? I remember reading about it but I can't remember. Did it have to do with enemies dropping more treasure and less ammo or something like that?

Did it have to do with enemies dropping more treasure and less ammo or something like that? Yep, word on the street has been you get less ammo but more loot/money. But I didn't have any issue with ammo shortage or anything in HD, felt good to me, plus getting guns faster. Quite a glorious port I felt, played it on steam. Last played on Gamecube prior.

The game came with some amount of adaptive difficulty that would (in part) alter drop rates even way back when.

Departing from that continuity would have a lot of implications about what Capcom was doing to the series as a whole.

Even if RE 1.5 was going to be a far weaker game, I still find it fascinating and love how far this project has come Some dude put together an exhaustive 40 or 50 page "book" of sorts on it's history, the development, where it was at when it was finally scrapped, and all the drama behind the leaked versions and how they ended up in people's hands, and it's an interesting read

Kind of sad the zapping campaigns are gone but if the campaign is being redone and revamped to the degree we've seen then I can't really argue. It's already doing a very different take on RE2 and we're getting an honest to god survival horror with RE4/RE7 quality of life improvements so I'm all good. With Dead Space gone and Outlast being dogshit we really don't get many of these game besides Evil Within.

I might pick it up if it gets discounted for the Summer Sale, but then again, I may just chill on RE style games until RE2.

Evil Within 2 is a great game, less clunky than the first but the art direction is different, which was one of the best things about the first. More action oriented than the first as well. I would compare the first Evil Within to what we've seen of the RE2make, and EW2 to RE4.

Acebuckeye13 posted:You have a link to it? I thought I had it but it doesn't appear to be up, but I do have a copy on my laptop so once I'm back in my office I can quick throw it up somewhere. It may not be the latest version (i think the guy who wrote it said the whole "seven versions floating around the collectors market" was complete bullshit along with a few other things and was rewriting it but I haven't checked to see if the version I have saved is the newer one or not. Apparently the one thing that is right, at least according to the groups involved closely to it, is that a collector out there does indeed have a copy of the build that is roughly 80 percent complete (according to capcom and how the build date lines up) and is close to or roughly the final build before it was scrapped, but in true nerd fashion talks broke down - everything with a grain of salt, but it's interesting nonetheless

A user on Project Umbrella also claims to have a copy of the scenario draft and, again, grain of salt, but it doesn't exactly deviate from what we already know - a lot of the story points were roughly the same as the final version, but with some changes that people have already said (Chief Irons being a good guy, the guy who became Kendo surviving and helping throughout the game, etc.)quote:On July 25, 1998, the surviving officers of S.T.A.R.S. return to the local R.P.D. (Raccoon Police Department). After a brief stay in the police infirmary, they are transferred to the state general hospital. Based on their eyewitness accounts, the R.P.D. began an investigation into the giant pharmaceutical company "Umbrella Corporation", revealing the truth of their illegal biological experiments. I believe the opening cutscenes, which according to that document were pretty far along, would have shown Leon on the roof watching the zombies break through the barriers and into the station while Elza's scenario had her riding her motorcycle through a barricade and into the station with zombies pouring in from behind or something like that

The Kins posted:Rely on Horror interview with the producers i bet theres still a thing of "thing you did in leon affects claire" tho. i like how they say no fixed cameras despite them clearly being in the second trailer. i bet they couldn't get it quite right and moved it to an easter egg/post game unlockable so they wouldnt get poo poo for it. 100% expecting a first person mode post game too. lol at the 1.5 stuff, i keep getting annoyed at another forum i read but refuse to sign up for where they all think the old concept art of ada with a noir coat (ada had a lab coat in 1.5) redcoat claire/desk up front in main hall/mr.x with a hat is from 1.5 when its clearly from the redesign of 2. i mean the main hall from 1.5 was like a regular blue office building that elza trashes her bike through. (mr.x hat might be 1.5 but no one really knows). that said, theres still a little bit of 1.5 influence. i think they did go back to old 1.5/2 concepts and go from there for the designs of some things. the city being an actual city this time like 1.5. i wonder how much is lost in translation here but "set around 1998" is weird because its gotta be set in september 1998 unless they are planning to remake all the other games and spin offs.
