I can totally see how a lot of reviewers had trouble with figuring out the game, since most of them don't put enough time into any game before writing their reviews, but I am pretty amused that someone would consider being low on ammo a downside in Resident Evil.

I get grabbed a lot too but that's a universal constant for me in all zombie games. It's become a running joke with my friends. :sigh:

Considering how powerful melee is, I don't think being out of ammo can be seem as anything but a negative. As the original point to low ammo was to make fleeing a more viable tactic. You can still kill them, just in a more tedious way.

The reason people where/are down on RE6 is they expected a game like 4/5 instead they got kind of a clunky brawler.

If you played RE1 then STARS being incompetent is no new thing.

They might just think its always been like that.

Even though Wesker also says that his plan in RE1 worked perfectly, Chris still hosed it up somehow, so now they are archenemies because everyone is insane.

Maybe the one downside to being turned into a superhero is it made Wesker insane.

That also explains a lot of what he does in CV.

Edit: I would also accept he is just saying that poo poo to save face.

I'll wait...forever :smithicide:

Even if they do make it it will just be a copy of the Resident evil 4 (and on) style over the shoulder gameplay which will make it generic as gently caress.

All that muscle didn't help much. It's kinda like Krauser vs. Leon in that regard. Krauser has to be the most absurdly ripped dude in the franchise and he still lost to Leon.

That is because Leon tapped into the power of Anime.

No one could have seen that coming.

REmake HD trailer

Looks fine to me, but the framerate seems a bit iffy. Could just be the video though.

If you used current Chris I am pretty sure the game would end in like 10 minutes as he would just beat the poo poo out the dogs.

The games have come a long way. A much worse way but whatevs.

People itt are actually mad that they might want to revamp RE2's lovely, barely existent game mechanics for remake. :psyduck:

I'd rather have a game where the killing zombies part is actually fun instead of pivoting on a spot, considering it's like 50% of the game.

E: I basically want a rev1ish game with 6s mechanics set in a city. Is that too much to ask?

fe: yes.

I am mad you want to replace okay mechanics with lovely unfun ones

Are you sure it wasn't 0, or Outbreak? Or even Gun Survivor? Resident Evil doing different poo poo wasn't a new thing even with RE4. It's tough to say what even "ruins" a franchise that branched off dramatically after Nemesis into a bunch of other stuff, including whatever RE7 will be like. If anything it's cool that Capcom is working on a bizarre new 1st person entry while still updating 2, my favorite of the "classic" games---you get two different things appealing to very different players.

Outbreak and zero are old RE through and through they are different at all. Also outbreak owns.

Re4 was just an extremely clunky third person shooter.

It was not special mechanically in any way.

The RE series is all about copying other genres with varying amount of success.

There are frequently people in almost every thread here (as well as other places) who play Resident Evil 4 for the first time and still enjoy it and say they understand why it's considered a classic. (Because it is ported to every system under the sun it actually happens pretty often.)

Regardless of your own personal feelings about it, claiming it was an average game that nobody cared about and only liked because of nostalgia is hilariously easy to disprove, not in the least because a lot of people were predisposed to dislike RE4 because of the significant changes it made. If it were an average and forgettable game then I guess Capcom is really good at marketing it then.

I didn't say people didn't like it at the time, I loved it at the time, and I still like it. It just is still an extremely clunky third person shooter. The franchise needed to move on from that.

Quick question, wasn't that effect part of the explanation for the monks in RE4? I could have sworn they mentioned it in RE4 like, in a note or something, but now I'm starting to wonder if my memory's just faulty.

Also, I agree that the credits for RE4 are great. I need to get the new PC version, last time I played was a long time ago on the original PC version.
