/vr/ - Retro Games

If they maid a game about Trump they'd call it President Evil.

>>5775613
Never seen this. The art was pretty decent, and even for being a free promotional one-shot, it was still better than those official Wildstorm Resident Evil comics
Surprised they just completely spoiled Wesker being a traitor though.

>>5775618
Go back to /pol/ discord tranny.

>>5775618
If the game was about a bug living in the house it would be called Resident Weevil.

>>5775613
Really? I always thought that this art was too trash.

>>5775613
I’ve always wondered why this guy looked like a mutated freak, is there an explanation for that?

It's classic Contra style Hollywood frame plagiarism run through the old mid-90s photomosaic treatment a few extra times.

>>5775613
I'm always surprised by the amount of people that watched Judge Dredd and played RE1 but never made the connection between the two.

>>5775613
If it was a game about obvious malice they would have called it Evident Evil

surprise... the usa cover is shit. how unusual.

>>5775613
I always loved the goofy fuckhuge receiver on the shotgun, it should've looked like that in the game

Now everyone is a real life weapons nerd thanks to the internet so games always use closely modeled replicas, but it was fun when artists just spitballed it and you got stuff like that

>>5776808
The Director's Cut Dual Shock version has the worst soundtrack, but the best cover.

>>5776985
that new fucked up mansion track makes laugh every time i hear it

>>5776985
>a guy pretending to be deaf composed a soundtrack worse than a deaf guy probably would
what a bizarre story

>>5777016
> not playing the glorious UNCUT version or the Ultimate Director's Cut version (both have the original soundtrack)

>>5777037
I only have the pic related PAL regular Director's Cut that has the Richard artwork and original OST still, but have the NTSC Dual Shock version on PSN. I usually hate USA covers, but in this case I'm jelly.

>>5776823
It's a photomosaic of a shotgun, heavy automatic rifle like a BAR (with no magazine) and submachine gun or light automatic rifle like an M4 for the stock isn't it?

>>5777024
>worst soundtrack
It's just one crappy track in the entire game where the programmers used the wrong instruments. The rest of the OST is not that bad, although I still prefer the OG.

>>5777505
There were two versions of Resident Evil: Director's Cut released in the US. The vanilla version had Richard on the cover, while the Dual Shock Version. I think only vanilla version came out in PAL Land.

>>5775613

>It's just one crappy track in the entire game where the programmers used the wrong instruments. The rest of the OST is not that bad, although I still prefer the OG.
It's not just that one, there are other bad tracks like Wesker in the guardhouse. I do like some Dual Shock edition tracks though (entering guardhouse, mansion 1st floor, save theme, Rebecca theme, etc)

>>5777505
No need for jelly, both versions are just the regular NTSC DC Dual-Shock, but with fan-made patches. I can link either the patches or the ISOs (or both) later, if anyone wants them.

I never understood why Resident Evil: Director's Cut was called a Director's Cut when:
>The American version is still censored.
>The Japanese version was never censored to begin with.
I'm guessing Director's Cut was more fitting for the context of the game than Biohazard Dash or Resident Evil: Champion Edition.

>>5779762
Thanks for this.

>>5779783
It was actually supposed to be a "Directir's Cut" of sorts, with the missing content added, but they messed the release up like three times.

>>5779832
It actually doesn't look too bad if they're spaced out, though.

>>5779831
I think the only thing that got removed from the final game were the George Trevor's letters, which they ended up publishing in some limited edition book before the REmake came out.

>>5779850
Everything that was patched-into that modded version that I linked earlier was removed from the PAL & NTSC versions (except for the extra skins). The Director's Cut releases were supposed to fix this, but for whatever reason, someone at Capcom wasn't in the QC chais and let those strange versions get released.

>>5778164
Thanks anon, I never knew this existed. Fits the game's b-movie vibe very well.

>>5779871
I've meant content that never made it to any released version of RE1.

>>5779762
based

>>5779924
I don't think they were actually going for a b-movie. The dialog comes off as campy because of the rough translation from Japanese to English that was so prevalent back then

>>5780314
Dude Biohazard's dialog is in English lol. Do you still feel smart?

Cool comic but I prefer the japanese one for RE3...

>>5780389
Cool

>>5780357
Wut? Not theat anon, but the voice-acting director for RE/Biohazard was Japanese, and he specifically had them do the dialogue in that stilted, awkward tone. That's why it sounds so awful. This is all well-known, and we've discussed it in /vr/ more times than I can count.

>>5781378
Regardless of the translation they made all their games purposefully over-the-top and 'cheesy' on purpose. The first few big games they made kept it somewhat subdued but by RE4 they just let loose.

Mind blown. Never thought that was Richard!

Always thought it was Ernest P. Whorrel when I was a kid lol.

>>5780389
is that a faithful adaptation of the game's plot

>>5779762
I never even knew this was a thing. I need to pop this in my PSX when I'm done playing Elder Scrolls Arena.

This new Arrange mode is RADICAL. Definitely puts emphasis on the "survival" of survival horror. Your ammo conservation not only affects your preparedness for encounters, but makes an impact on routing. New enemy placements make complete roadblocks (like literally--shoulder-to-shoulder) if you haven't done a good job rationing. The new progression sequence appropriately frontloads a lot of the cutscene interruptions so the situation never feels tiresome or leaves you feeling aimless while you're getting acclimated to the new sequence. Oh...but no saves. At least that I could find. My ass got chomped to death at the second Yawn encounter; yet nonetheless, I'm still hungry to give it another whirl.

>>5783551

This mod seems to have some weird QoL improvement added to it? I got the lighter, wound back to the hallway adjacent to Yawn 1, and when I went through the door with the unlit candles...suddenly I was outside the mansion. I went back to go about things normally and got the same result. I'm playing the regular game, not Beginner or Arrange.

I skipped around a vid and the Arrange mode had exactly NINE minutes in the mansion. Everything else was the guard-house, and lab. Totally weird. They skipped over everything, and didn't even meet Rebecca!

Who drew the comic? it looks familliar.

>>5782878
>not in english

>>5788891
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the only key you get is Shield before you leave the mansion, in Arrange. The Yawn fight takes place before you even have access to the room with serum, so uh, just don't get bit I guess? But like I said, I'm playing what's supposed to be the regular game. I'd put three of the four medallions in their indention, had just gotten the lighter to presumably obtain the fourth, and right after the loading door to the dark room adjacent to where you fight Yawn the first time, boom--all of sudden I was in the supply shed, immediately behind where you put the medallions in.

>>5789194
>Who drew the comic? it looks familliar.
Dave Johnson.

>>5785675
>no color page
>we'll never know

>>5789789

What is the point of utterly skipping over the entirety of the manison which is the coolest part of the game?

In regards to poison the uploader said:
> This serum you took in the save room but as you no longer have access to this room you only get in the room of the spiders the problem is poison poison already any enemy can kill you.

Even if Sienkiewicz is a great artist, the RE1 boxart is not one of his greatest work. Although, the RE1 boxart does look shopped as hell though. I would've liked to had seen the original line art for it at least.

Comics are so cringe

am I retarded for wanting to replay RE1 instead of the remake

>>5795280
Not really. I think the remake is by and large way better, but the original does have a distinct atmosphere. More neutral, like it's just a big grandma house that's so picturesque and typical that it puts you off in itself which adds to all the macabre shit and trick manor elements going on. Compared to the remake which is more "haunted house."

Is that a bug? I see crests in right place

>>5803248

Is that the RE hack I've seen? Because I've only seen videos and it seems strange. The longplay I saw had only 9 minutes in the mansion, and the rest was outside. What's the point of rendering the most interesting section of the game irrelevant?

The player didn't even meet Rebecca until 47 minutes into the Lab.

Uh-huh.

>>5803248
>>5803718
That's 'Deranged Mode, a hack of Arranged Mode'. The normal game plays through like you normally would. If the door doesn't open, the order of the crests is probably different (hence, "Deranged").

>>5803919
>That's 'Deranged Mode, a hack of Arranged Mode'. The normal game plays through like you normally would.

Yeah, but what's the point of a special mode if it cuts out the entire mansion?

>>5803925
From th creator: "..I have also included an all new "Arranged mode" called "Deranged" which like the name implies adds a new degree of difficulty to the game. I wanted to try and condense the game and handle the layout and item management differently to give a new twist on an old classic."

>>5803937
>I wanted to try and condense the game

Well that's dumb. The mansion is the best part. Now it's mostly irrelevant.

If you were to play RE3 fo the first time, which version would you play?
- PSX on original hardware
- PSX emulated
- DC emulated

Is there any other version to take in account?

>>5803975

PC and Gamecube versions.

>>5803975
The Sourcenext ports of Biohazard 2 and 3 are pretty much regarded as the definite versions of those games, since they worked natively on modern versions of Windows. They only came out in Japan, but I'm sure you could pirate them.

>>5803248
>>5803919
That is not Deranged Mode. This is the normal Director's Cut with the minor changes they included from other versions. I chronicled part of this somewhere above, where getting the lighter and returning to the dark room just beyond Richard instantly warps you to the shed outside the mansion. A byproduct of this is that apparently the real door is never properly considered unlocked. Thinking about it later, I realized I can probably go back and use that same door to appear right past the gate. But it's still pretty annoying.

>>5790274
>>5790328

I own all of the Resident Evil Magazines (I believe there are 5 issues) and they're pretty fun. The interviews and fan art make it worth it. I also loved the Jim Lee artwork for the covers. 75 bucks well spent.

>>5803975

I am a PS fanboy (and I own a CRT), so I would choose the original hardware

>>5803975
Emulated gamecube. Though I would ideally take anything on real hardware as long as you got a CRT TV.

>>5804415

Would you be willing to do really good scans of these? Just for prosperity's sake. The scans we have are okay, readable, but I'd love to see them given more care.

So high resolution, not jpg format, and cbz/cbr file format.

>>5803975

Thank you very much. I forgot I also have the GC version and the original hardware, so maybe I'll go that way.

But, what are those Sourcenext ports? Are those in english, or in japanese? I would be playing the game with someone who hasn't, so if the text is in moonrunes, is an automatic no no.

Here's a guide on RE2 and RE3 that I saved a few years ago.

>>5805574
What the fuck are you on about?

>>5804305
Put this to the test and now it leads into the candlelit room as it should. Main gate remains locked. Guess this playthrough is over.

Samefag. I bit the bullet and restarted from scratch playing the original, non-DC/DS version. And hot damn, Plant 42 is a completely different boss when you don't have auto-aim. I punked out so I could use my first save, because to hell with redoing everything up to that point. Again.

>>5776985
That face scared the shit out of me as a kid

>>5805571
Thank you. Definitely I'm going the game cube route, although the FMVs are bad.

One more thing... I have a hacked Wii. There is any way to transfer my memory card saves from the Cube card, to Dolphin, or vice versa? Would be nice to 100% the game and store the save.

>>5805008

I would love too, but I do not own a scanner or have access to a high quality one.

I would also be afraid scanning them, since the comics are pretty rare at this point. They fell into my lap at a local used comic / book store.

Have you checked readcomiconline? They have them scanned in two different resolutions.

Japanese only, but I know RE2 has been patched with an English translation.

>>5806504
she's so pretty

>>5806857

What artbook is that pulled from? I don't know any for RE1.

>>5806861

Might be a mag not an artbook.

Wow. WOW. Hunters are nerfed to HELL in the rereleases compared to the PSX original. Hard enough not having auto aim, but they take two acid rounds instead of one and one wrong move: get fucking instakilled bruh. (might have had this in DC too, but auto-aim+instakills keep it from ever coming up.) Hot damn. Definitely the version people should turn to if they want the authentic experience. Ammo-wise, there's no reason not to blow everything away and have plenty to spare, but having to manual aim makes for a drastic change and it's clear the difficulty curve was balanced with this in mind, given the hunters' erratic patterns.

>>5807271
Auto-aim was in the JP version of Biohazard 1 too before the Director's Cut. The Western versions of RE1 took it out.
