Umbrella chronicles and darkside would like to have a words but then again they are primarily considered on rail vs 1st person.

I might have been a little soft on Survivor 1, but Survivor 2 is a legitimately worse game in literally every single aspect I can think of.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
Is survivor 2 the code veronica one with nemesis thrown in or is it the dead aim one? I get confused with these gun spin off titles. I know the cv survivor isnt canon and just weird broken arcade thing

Also can i play dead aim without a light gun like the first survivor since its apparently canon.

I always felt very odd towards Survivor. I like it, but I can't honestly say that it's a good game. Usually In a movie i would enjoy an outright failure as long as the creator really went down swinging, but this time it just didn't click for me, though i know when it came out i would eat up anything resident evil, and I know I played it multiple times. Did it even have puzzles? Should I revisit it?

Survivor 2 is the one that's like half of Code Veronica but with Nemesis.

Survivor 1 didn't have puzzles. It might be interesting to revisit before RE7 comes out- that's why I've been playing these games recently.

Long standing misconception. RE3 wasn't supposed to be 3, but neither was CV.

The actual game that was in development as RE3 started on PS1 but soon moved towards development on the PS2 after the console was first shown. That of course delayed it's development, so Capcom decided to increase the budget and size of the team that was working on a spin-off for the PS1 and made that RE3 instead. The original RE3 became the RE4 project and went through it's own development hell, spawning DMC in the process, changing platforms again and in the end produced the RE4 we all know and love today.

CV was a sort of apology from Capcom to Sega for not porting the second game to the Saturn and it was never supposed to be a numbered title.

Wasn't it Onimusha that came out of the failed RE3, and an Onimusha glitch (enemies getting tossed 10 feet straight up in the air during a combo) turned into DMC?

Popped in RE CVX and man rose colored glass nostalgia is a hell of a thing. I had much fonder memories of this game then I remember. Steves voice acting alone became a chore for the 1st part of the game...

Then I put the knife in my hand again and I remembered a big reason why I liked the combat... nothing like wiping out zombies and having a huge glut of ammo going forward.

uh so somebody made a Resident Evil 3.5 recreation and released the demo. looks ridiculously accurate. (edit: after playing it, looks more like they only got leon and his movements accurate, game is using remixed areas from re4) looks more like the castle/hookman stuff rather than the possession/airship stuff. probably all of it mashed together.

The only thing I really remember from CV is the insane intro. Mostly Claire's fake out surrender.

Hey, I just started RE4 again and I have a question. What's the exclusive upgrade for the Riot Gun? I always swap it out for the Striker so I never found out.

It massively boosts its firepower.

The Striker technically still has greater firepower than even a fully upgraded Riot Gun but only at really close ranges (like close even for a video game shotgun).

Basically the exclusive Riot Gun will do much more damage at not-stabbing-range.

I played through RE4 on Steam last month, the ammo was fairly plentiful, enough that I didn't have problems anyway. I had heard about the balance change being you get less ammo and more money, which for me seemed like it turned out pretty well. Loved it on the Cube, love the HD version on Steam as well. Just for the record.

You can actually kill the regenerators with the striker by just being right up on their rear end and blasting them with it. Screw all the infrared sniping business.

Hahah holy poo poo, a gameplay mechanic got revealed at the germany press event thing and you might want to not read it and just see it for yourself when you play the game, but if you cant wait a week then here goes: your arms and legs can get dismembered and you can pick them up as an item and also reattach them with that liquid herb poo poo. I already love this loving game. Theres a youtube video that for some reason my phone weirding out on for pasting but it happens at the 10 min mark. There was another one that got taken down too.

Resident Evil, baby!

The spoiler happens at the 10 min mark, this is early game and the scene is apparently not scripted dispite looking like it is. The reviewers who played the 4 hours thing are saying different people were getting different things happen in different locations and for some the spoiler didnt even happen.
