RealFoxy posted: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. It was this. Well put. ANd I liked the game it just wasn't addictive like RE2 was. You never got that sense of being lost, short on ammo or compelled to explore much at all. And on replays, there was precious little "gonna do THIS this time, boy" beyond "use these items I unlocked".

I started playing RE3make recently and the zombie stuff is alright but I just can't stand the Nemesis boss fights. Not fun at all. Far too linear as well, as has been mentioned. No idea how the dodge mechanic works either - have done it a few times but only by complete accident. I could practice it on a zombie but... I don't want to be attacked by a zombie so I just shoot them or walk past instead.

What really weirded me out about RE3Make was the complete lack of costumes, especially when the original went hog wild giving Jill extra outfits, as well as having extra outfits in other consoles.

That it also explicitly isn't about to get any post-release content and wasn't planned to from the beginning says a lot about how much of an afterthought it is when compared to RE2make, even from the business perspective.

I don't want to be attacked by a zombie so I just shoot them or walk past instead. Press the dodge button and roll away with proper timing like you're playing Dark Souls. If you do it perfectly you get a little speed-lines effect and can do slow mo shooting. Any dodge is good if you evade damage. It's a lot harder on the zombies since they always put out a grapple hurtbox. You should set up a save and practice a few times when Nemesis chases you or on a Nemesis boss fight, nailing dodges vs Nemesis can be done consistently. Nemesis is pretty well designed for his first chase and boss fights(dodge timings on the first boss fight are really fair), he's just like the original RE3. You can't survive by not dodging his attacks, he's made to disrupt the comfort zone of veteran RE players and to be part of the new dodge system. Likewise you can't fully evade him without fighting or dodging him, he's always faster than Jill.

What's the twist? I doubt I'll ever touch that game, I've seen enough footage to know that it's legitimately terrible.

Just wanted to pop in and report that I've been playing Resident Evil 7 lately and it is exactly as good as everybody else has been saying it is. It's easily my next favorite after RE2. I'm enjoying the first-person way more than I expected to, and the searching for items in cupboards and underneath furniture and stuff like that is great. Just got passed the boss fight in the greenhouse and that was honestly a pain in the rear end and a huge resource drain, but everything up to that point has been superb. I haven't made a great effort to avoid spoilers online before playing, so a lot of the content I'm familiar with already, but playing it puts it on a whole other level. I've just been heaving a really great time with it, and getting back to the more methodical exploratory focused gameplay is so refreshing after playing RE3.

The wife of one of the protagonists (Sam), was also in on the whole thing and was spying on him for being one of the children with Daymare syndrome, an experiment done by Hexacore to as part of a social engineering experiment sanctioned by the US government. Not worth playing the game for but the twists did kind of surprise me.

I thought Daymare was very much OK, a janky indie take on the same formula that would be perfected by RE2make. It's worth playing, just at an extremely low price point.

i think everything after the first part of the mansion is just not as good as the mansion, but part of that illusion is that by that point you've seen every single enemy in the game and you will be seeing them again for the rest of the game.

The thing about RE 7 is the mansion feels like classic RE with the item hoarding and backtracking and poo poo. It just gets more linear as the game goes on from there. Even so it was an incredibly refreshing back to basics experience.

I think RE7 is a really good and fun game overall, but the experience really is so heavily front-loaded with all the best stuff that everything after Jack just feels like a bit of a let-down by comparison. He's just a tough act to follow.

Bout to fire up RE7 again for the first time in a while which will be fun because I don't remember much about it and my kid likes watching me play these games. Last time we played RE7 though, he legit peed his pants when Mia first showed up so we're gonna try again.

Yeah, he's not into it because there's no zombie shooting like he's used to. But he DID just come up with a really cool idea for a new RE game. At least I liked it. It takes place in a prison and you start out in solitary confinement or something, at the bottom of the jail, while the outbreak takes over the facility. So all the guards, the other prisoners and the SWAT team or whatever that's sent in to quell the outbreak all get zombied out and and you have to fight and kill your way out, unlocking doors and cell blocks and finding weapons to work your way through, floor by floor and level by level. The resource management and maze like level design this would offer, along with all the locked doors, key cards, weapons, medical areas and secret passages basically write themselves and fit in perfectly with the formula. Finding enough weapons to shoot your way past zombie prison guards and zombie inmates would be fun. Maybe have the opening cinematic set up let you meet certain rear end in a top hat guards, nasty inmates, cheesy lawyers, the corrupt judge that sent you down and a whole bunch of dick heads that make your journey into solitary a living hell and then you meet them all in zombie form on your way out that make them really fun to kill. I dig it. There was an old survival horror game on PS2 that took place in a jail but I forget the name of it and it had a different tone to what my kid just came up with.

Oh, that PS2 game you're thinking of was probably The Suffering, which is a game that I wish would get a remake because it had some neat ideas but really rough execution.

Does RE3R make anyone else's PS4 (regular) sound like it's about to explode? Even The Last of Us 2 doesn't make it go into turbo mode the way RE3R does. Unrelated, but I think RE3R is a great speed(y)run game. I didn't really like my first playthrough, mostly because I think the RE2R-style zombies aren't a good fit for a more action-oriented game. But when you're blowing through everything the pace feels just right.

The recent RE remake games are fairly well-known for having very good optimization and performance, so that is a bit strange. Have you looked at your settings? Maybe something went weird.

They should put Outbreak on digital shops, not like a remake, or even a remaster - just to preserve the game and make it easier to play.

Yes but only on the main menu. Other games do it as well, supposedly it’s because the menu frame rates are uncapped so the PS4 really goes to town. That being said my PS4 is the final hardware revision of the original model and nearing 5 years old, so the thermal compound is probably shagged out by this point.
