/vr/ - Retro Games

I just beat REmake today, it's my second RE after 4, I didn't think I would like the game at all, but I got really into it, figuring things out, handling things such as burning dead zombies to make sure they don't rise as Crimson Heads.

The biggest barrier to me I thought would be the controls, but the PS3 version allows you to use the left stick for moving and turning, rather than being restricted to tank controls only (though you can still use those with the DPad). I think it steers much better without the tank controls, I heard people say they are an absolute necessity to make the game playable, but I disagree, only sometimes would the perspective fuck with you, you get used to it and only really one or two rooms remain annoying to navigate.

Also, the inventory and storage box management is actually kind of nice, to a degree it adds to the game.

I've always wanted to play the old gamea but the control schemes always put me off, I think the REmake was very approachable while still challenging me, again, I didn't think I would actually have fun, but I had a great time.

How do you guys think REmake stacks up compared the original PS1 releases of the first Resident Evil? What does it do better, what does it do worse?
I'm aware that REmake is missing a bunch of things from the various ports and special editions of the original, like there is no unlockable machineguns or cheerleading uniform for Rebecca.
