The main thing I'm picking up from watching pieces of this Carcinogen RE4 run is there was way more treasure than I ever knew about hanging on ceilings in that game. I knew about the gas lanterns under the village and most of the bird's nests, but drat they hid a lot of treasure right above your head in that game. I think I missed 99 percent of it the first time I played it.

Can confirm having recently been playing the Wii version. There's poo poo all over the place in that game.

RE3make spoilers so I'll use the tag where appropriate;

I was kinda bummed that Nicholai appears to die at the very end on the helipad, or more that they're left for dead. Always had a bit of a soft spot for the character because of how much of a bastard they are.

I'm reading the RE Wiki (VERY poorly edited and managed, I might add) and lo and behold, after reading his page and going back to look at the ending...



There's a second chopper on the helipad. Maybe they managed to get out after all.

Can someone give some advice for playing the first Remake? I swear it was brought up a few pages ago in this thread, but I cannot find it for the life of me. I haven't played the REmake in years, but remember the basic stuff (i.e., difficulty, Jill's lock pick, burn zombie bodies, etc).

Edit: Bah, forget it. It's not a bad game, and I'm not saying it is, but the camera angles and the general...Clunkiness? I'm not sure how to accurately describe it, but it feels way too slow. It's still incredibly good looking, and it is spooky as poo poo, but I just cannot stand playing it.

I feel like a bad Resident Evil fan. :smith:

Eh, a lot of people seem to have issues with the fixed camera RE games. There are control settings to help if you have issues with tank controls. The best place to mess with those settings is probably the main hall and the dining room since the camera changes a lot there, and there are no enemies to deal with.

I could handle everything about it except the camera angles. Those have just broken my brain from the original RE2 back in the day all the way to trying this one a few weeks back.

It was the last half of the page before this lol

Anyways, start on easy so you can focus on getting a mental layout of the mansion and where the items are. Try to dodge zombies instead of killing them, saves ammo and plus then you won't have to worry about crimson heads as much. With the shotgun try to let zombies get close and aim up for headshots, hopefully you'll get a decap. Imo using the alt style controls are better than classic tank, most likely youll find yourself pointing wrong direction on camera changes but it's still faster to correct yourself than to turn with tank, plus you can still use dpad tank for like moving objects or whatever. Don't ever bother shooting Lisa

My biggest gripe with REmake so far is, since I decided to buy it on PC, the max resolution is 1920x1200. Which is black barred on left and right and top to bottom on my 1440p monitor.

Unless RE3make is in its own universe or otherwise retcons the series, Nicholai escaping is canon, as unlikely as it may seem.

I think the original Resident Evil 3 had a situation like RE1 and RE2 where technically, none of the endings you can see in the game are actually the canon ending.

jill jumping off the bridge which makes nicholai not get dead by a drain demios and not blowing up nicholai's helicopter is the only canon choice since survivor

Why.. why wouldn't you put it on 1080? It's black barred because 1920x1200 is a different aspect ratio

Well in the display options I selected the original 4:3 ratio since I didn't want to crop the pre-rendered backgrounds by playing in 16:9, so I selected 1200p in the resolution settings since i figured that was the best match.

Now that I've bothered to check. 1080p does scale to the top and bottom of the screen with only black bars to the left and right in 4:3 without any cropping, so I guess the answer is I'm an idiot lol.

If anyone was concerned about the launch performance of RE5 and 6 on Switch, I can confirm that updates have fixed it all. It has a stable framerate now. I’d be down for some coop in either sometime. I’ve played RE5 multiple times but haven’t played 6 since the original release, before the patches. I’m curious how it holds up.

I didn't play RE6 at launch at all, so take it from someone who played it for the first time only a year or two or so ago: it doesn't. RE6 is a bad game completely independently from when it was released or from the expectations of the Resident Evil fanbase at the time.

If memory serves, it's the only RE game I just quit on and never finished.

*checks memory*

Yes, this was indeed my experience. I forget where I said "gently caress this trash" but I'm pretty sure I was in a sewer. That game flushed everything great about the series right down the toilet and ignored anything having to with the Survival Horror game play I enjoy and was expecting. I didn't like it and do not recommend it.

The only thing I enjoyed about 6 was the melee stuff. Otherwise my friend and I rage quit twice somewhere in the subway station when the train would just randomly kill us whether we were in the way or not. The story isn't that great either so if you really think you're missing out just watch a youtube video of someone stringing the cutscenes together.

Bits and pieces of RE6 were okay, but mostly it was just a slog. It's also Peak Bloat for the series. Compare the tidy puzzle boxes of RE and RE2 to the citywide setpieces in RE6—or, more fairly, the village in RE4—and it's just a game that forgets where the hell it came from.

I feel they at least learned from the reception since 7 and RE2R turned out so well. I haven’t gotten to RE3R yet but 8 looks promising as well.

More middling than bad, certainly. It ended up looking a lot worse than it might have otherwise because it was essentially the direct sequel to RE2make and so strongly connected to it in people's minds. I wouldn't say it's even as bad as Code Veronica, which I personally hated but certainly wouldn't call the worst game in the series. I'd call it comparable to RE5 in that it's more or less a flawed attempt to recapture the success of a much better game and doesn't quite get it right.

It's honestly kind of impressive that Capcom managed to evoke similar feelings in people comparing Remake 3 to Remake 2 as people who compared the original 3 to the original 2.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
The hilarious part is that all it would have taken to make a lot of the people that dislike it happy is....one more 30 minute set-piece in the late early-game/middleish? We aren't talking about massive, systemic changes. They needed one more bit, preferably where early form nemmie shows up doing things, and that's it. People would have been just fine with the game. It still wouldn't have been as good as ReRE2, game would still have flaws, but they wouldn't have been so letdown.

It wasn't just that, it was super linear and the re-playability was stripped from it too. In 2 if you wanted to unlock everything it wasn't a big deal to play it 5, 6 more times to unlock the other costumes/infinite weapons/S Ranks because it was so fun and you could learn different/better routes or more creative ways of avoiding zombies.

REmake 3 was just a straight path, a shorter story, and the rewards for multiple clears just weren't as appealing or challenging. RE3 was kinda like a stripped-down DLC on another less powerful console because they didn't have the space on a 3DS cartridge. It's still fun in a bubble, it's just a really small bubble.
