Thematically, it sort of makes a lot more sense for Chris to be the one that turned into a monster and died to save the world. The HAOS plotline was really dumb anyway though.

that's a reasonable explanation, but you can't convince me they didn't put in Piers to please the gay fanbase, because dang is it difficult to get even one page of RE fanart that doesn't feature them together in various stages of undress. That and the occasional Barry leatherdaddy.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
capcom had a stream in japanese today showing off the e3 demo but during the stream before the demo they had music from the remake playing and it was a redone version of the theme that plays during the extreme battle mode, so i guess thats in too?

As far as the soundtrack, the main thing is that Escape From Laboratory is still intact and unchanged for the remake. Used that as my ringtone for a while but it was too intense.

I wouldn't say REmake completely replaced RE1. According to Revelations 2 at least, the Jill Sandwich line is totally canon.

Its funny I scurried to link it from my phone after posting it and I originally pasted it in with that dubbed over, but found a version without.

I fired up RE0 last night as I never did play it, and my god its just too painful running on my laptop with an old GT630. Seemed half okay with everything turned down, til I went upstairs. Just cant do it. I wonder if Revelations would be any better, that was some kinda handheld game wasn't it?

I posted this over a year ago here, but the only things I've read online from random people (so take it with a huge grain of salt) about RE6 are all about Chris' campaign: That it was added very late into development, that Piers was originally Jill but they were worried about the backlash from an angry guy (Chris) constantly verbally abusing a woman, and that originally he was going to be the one who died at the end.

Huh, interesting. I wonder if we'll ever hear more about the development. A lot of the RE5 dev stuff came out later, didn't it, or is that just old stuff from the art books and stuff being dredged up?

our every move is the new tradition
They've been fairly forthright about RE6, even before it came out. Capcom went into 2012 with a big hole in its budget thanks to the Fukushima quake and the ensuing rolling brownouts, so the executives threw a lot of marketing and did a lot of meddling in an attempt to make RE6 the big hail-Mary pass that would put them back on top. The Chris campaign was the last one added and is specifically there to try to grab Call of Duty fans.

I've also heard anecdotally that the reason Chris and Piers are the first two-dude team in the entire history of the franchise is because they didn't want Chris to be all brain-damage aggro at a woman due to the potential for terrible optics, but I've never heard that from anyone involved in the production.

Finally picked up RE7 on sale and...I don't think it's for me. It's not really scary as much of...just kinda gross? Not like discomforting gross but just like 'ew I don't wanna look at that'.

I really liked RE7 and thought it was the right change in direction the series needed. It wasn't as scary as it should have been but it had atmosphere and you always felt on edge. It followed the same idea and pacing of the first three games and it was a welcome back to basics.
It's let down by the final third of the story, where Capcom evidently lost its nerve and just devolved into a generic action game again. Maybe the executives got impatient and started putting their hands in the soup again.

The RE2 remake looks like it might prove that it isn't the camera angle that necessarily makes an RE game good, but the pacing and action. RE5 and 6 were let down by falling deep into the Stallone-1980s-action-movie rabbit hole and not focusing on the survival horror aspect. RE2 never suffered from that issue, even with enhanced magnums and super shotgun attachments people were walking on eggshells in that final laboratory area.

Confession: I stopped playing RE7 right when I beat Marguerite, not because I didn't like it, but because I got busy with life stuff :negative:

Gonna pick it back up again today - personally I love it so far, it's interesting how different it is and yet it still feels like Resident Evil, a similar feeling I had toward RE4

I thought Lucas had a pretty good segment even if he doesn't have Jacks jovial presence. I think Marguerite kinda gets the poo poo end of the stick because her section of the game is short and she doesn't even get to gently caress with you the way the boys do in favor of just grossing you out with bugs. I hear she gets more screen time in DLC, I guess.

Chris' campaign is undoubtedly the weakest. For me it's Leon -> Jake -> Ada -> Chris. I think Chris' last chapter is pretty good though.

Sort of. If you're playing it solo though it's going to suck a lot more. RE6 is the type of game that needs to be MST3K'd while playing it.

Chris is the best because its mostly shooty bang bang with little QTEs and dumb scripted segments. We played coop with my friend a while back and we died from boredom when trying Leon campaign after Chris.

RE7 is so good but it is a bit of a shame that Jack outshines the other two family members so dramatically

Like, they're good still, but Jack is such an effective and menacing villain that the game feels empty without him

I really like the 4 distinct styles of horror they went for, though

Jack = slasher movie villain
Marguerite = body horror contortionist grossness
Lucas = dumb idiot jerk from SAW
Spooky ghost girl = spooky ghost girl

Yeah I actually think Chris and Jake have the best gameplay overall.

But then I kinda think RE has always been action games of a specific era rather than horror games in any real sense.

The games always had enough ammo to do pretty much anything you want. The only RE game where ammo was particularly limiting was Outbreak and Outbreak used respawning enemies a lot.

the gameplay of 6 is really good when you delve into the melee system. this has the side effect of leaving you completely flush with ammo at all times, but that's less good than it sounds because of the godawful inventory. the gameplay is really bad during most of but not all of the parts where you can't melee stuff.
