Code Veronica superiority. Definitely a better RE 3 than RE 3 was. I fucken love that game. The crazy plot, the awesome atmosphere and music, the overpowered knife, matrix Wekser, it’s great.

And steve blows. It wasn't new at all, just done way better in Code Veronica than in most other games coming out in its time. Silent Hill 1 (along with many other games) did it first, but Silent Hill 1 is one of the best games ever made of any kind on any platform so I wouldn't consider its accomplishments to be typical.

You're insane, CV is hot trash garbage with bad backtracking, bad weapons a messy plot and tons of bad design decisions. It's easily among the worst games in the series.

Tried the Project Resistance beta this morning on PS4. Boy it's not playable in solo queue as a survivor. I had three random drop out in the second area leaving me to try to solo it. Spoilers: didn't go well! Being Mastermind is fun though. A group had trouble in the second area finding the security zombie, so I put a licker and Ivy in the room with him. They were surprised!

Maybe it's because I didn't play CV:X until it was ported to the GameCube (I played it after RE4, but I don't remember which came out first) but there's just so much I can't stand about it. The recycled RE2 sound effects, which is particularly noticeable on zombies, the general model quality and sluggish feeling animations, the colours feeling bland and washed out. And it's so long... In contrast I can pick up and play OG RE2 and RE3 again despite them being shorter, less visually and technologically ambitious and just have a ball. Jill et al feel swift and responsive, the enemies and characters move with a kind of "pop" and those pre-rendered backgrounds have so much detail in them compared to the 3D models. I commend CV for being ambitious but the only time I want to replay it is if Capcom announce a remake just so I can refresh myself.

As somebody who likes Code Veronica a great deal, there's so much that they did poorly. The game would be 100% better if they'd rearranged the prison chapter to loop (like RE1 or RE2, where you're constantly unlocking one-way doors or kicking shortcut ladders or otherwise finding shortcuts back) instead of being a long oval that you had to repeatedly backtrack through, for example.

ImpAtom posted:Have you ever tried the Dead Space games? If you have even a moderately powerful PC you can run them and Dead Space 1 may scratch your itch. I forgot about Dead Space. That's a good idea. I played the original on 360 and never finished it; I think because I really disliked the air lock/no gravity parts. Same thing with Prey. Also, put me down as yes for werewolves, witches and poo poo in a big haunted castle/mansion. I'm cool with a Universal monsters approach.

Boba Pearl posted:Code Veronica had the evil transgendered chick right? Or was that only in the novels? There isn't really any trans element, but it can easily come off that way to modern viewpoints. The first arc villain Alfred did dress as his twin sister Alexia, but that was because he couldn't cope with her absence (the normal twin closeness was creepily far and all-but-incestuous, at least from his direction) after her "death". His mind broke in half, and half of his mind developed an Alexia personality so he could convince himself that she was still present. Both the game and the novelization had him realize this because of a personality mismatch -he switched to Alfred while dressed as Alexia- but only the book had any kind of from-his-pov mental dialogue.

There might be a fan patch at this point to fix this.

I don't see why there needs to be a debate. I think they are both solid games that people have preferences for due to various reasons. man nurse posted:I fucken love that game. The crazy plot, the awesome atmosphere and music, the overpowered knife, matrix Wekser, it’s great. I love how if you use the knife even remotely well, and know what is coming up, you can break the game and not have to really worry about ammo at all. Plus, it was the game that reintroduced the hunters for me since I didn't play RE3 until about a year later. And some of the music was amazing. I still remember the music that plays when Wesker fights Alexia and the music that Alexia sings to this day.

Why in the name of hell, would the Resident Evil 3 remake start around the halfway point of the original Resident Evil 3? It makes no sense.

Umbrella Corp bought up the IP during the Yarhnam bankruptcy auction... Judging by reviews, guess I’ll play R3make before the RE 2 remake. I would actually really like a short game right now and this way will avoid disappointment.

Jesus those changes sound like hot garbage, can't believe how disappointing this is Even if it wasn't going to be a remake on the scale of RE2, the changes to the story beats just sound dumb as hell, looks like I'll be waiting for a substantial price drop before getting it Welp

Resident Evil 3: Remake. A tragedy told in three acts. Act 1. Saturday the 28th of March. Me (Out digging in the garden, talking to my brother on the phone.): Hey brother. You know the way that you ordered Resident Evil 3 for my birthday present. Brother: I do. Me: Did you pre-order it digitally or order a physical copy? Brother: I ordered it with Gamestop. Me: With this pandemic going around, do you think they will still be able to deliver the game before Friday? Brother: I am not sure. I haven't heard from them. What do you want to do? Me: If they haven't taken the money from your account yet, maybe cancel the pre-order and we can just pre-order it on the PS Store so I can get a copy on Friday. Brother: Tell you what, since I also want to play RE3, why don't I order you your copy on the PS Store and I'll keep the physical copy when Gamestop sends it to me? Me: Cool. I'm fine with that. Act 2. Monday the 30th of March Me: Okay I have ordered the game on Playstation Store. Now I am guaranteed to get it by Friday. Can't wait. Hmm, I see a lot of posts on the SA forums about the game. They must be really excited about it. Act 3. Tuesday the 31st of March. Me: Oh no, I read the posts on the forums. They are making the game same less good than the Re2 Remake. Brother: Hey, I just collected the post today. The physical copy of Resident Evil 3 has arrived. It's here. Me: But since I got the version digitally, I have to wait until Friday to play it! Nooooo! (Nemesis breaks through the wall into my house.) Nemesis: STARS! Fin. True story.

I had RE3 pre-ordered, then canceled that to pick up Animal Crossing based on what I was hearing (and the demo that ... wasn't really all that fun). I don't regret that choice, but will definitely be picking this up whenever it goes on sale.

Why did we think RE3 might be as good as RE2 when the originals (and every other numbered entry of anything, ever? 2 always >3) didn't fit that mold? We all (or I) hated what RE4 looked like as a "big departure" when it was first announced too, and look how that turned out. Not gonna get my hopes up for RE8 to be the best game of its generation though.

Devil May Cry Also the idea that RE 3 remake has to be a worse game than RE 2 remake because that's how the originals worked is such an absurdly deterministic concept. Was there nothing the devs could do to improve the game (or for that matter "not make it worse")?

RE3 was leagues better than RE2 for me. I have no particular nostalgia for RE2, probably because I played 3 when I was a kid and didn't play 2 until I was an adult. Despite hearing about the changes I'm still really excited to play the remake.

For me, I thought that actually having more things that genuinely needed improvement would get a fresh coat of paint. Sort of like re-making an "OK" movie usually works better than remaking a masterpiece because you get another shot at it.

Did people actually expect this to be better than 2? It’s not the same team. As soon as a I heard that I started tempering my expectations. Still pretty annoyed with the lack of mercenaries though. Hopefully that’s the DLC.

The one thing that's consistent about the T-Virus is that it can't reanimate a human body without a brain, and Nemesis very blatantly sticks a tentacle through Brad's whole head.
