/vr/ - Retro Games

It's so tiresome. I'm not even gonna tell you to kill yourself, just stop posting. That would be enough.

>>9403571
So the answer is no, I shouldn't bother because it was a shitty game, which is why they decided to remaster it, gotcha, thanks anon, I can now just move onto resident evil 2.

>>9403569
>He didn't play in release order
Lmao, your loss. Remake was made for people who already played the original, subverting their expectations. This way you didn't experience the remake the best way and won't experience the original the best way. Now kys.

>>9403569
You definitely have to play it if you like resident evil. I replayed it recently and it was a really good experience. Are you a zoomer? If yes you may have some problem beating the game

>>9403569
I didn't get to play the original when it came out so I was wondering the same thing. I loved the remake and then I played the second one which is still very enjoyable. I don't know about the third one. I heard it wasn't as good as the first two. I might try it someday

>>9403615
I was born 1998 so no I'm not a zoomer, the first resident evil game I played was the fourth game when I was like 10 or something, after that I moved onto all the other games that came afterwards. Didn't start playing the older ones until a few years ago, as far as the older games are concerned, the only I've beaten is the third one, still haven't played the second or original version of the first game.

>>9403623
>I was born 1998 so no I'm not a zoomer
you're a zoomer, accept it.

>>9403569
the game's only especially tedious playing as chris with only six inventory slots. It's very easy to end up triggering the semi bad ending where you have a dead partner. In comparison to remake though it lacks a feq QOL features and the presentation polish it is actually arguably more approachable. Movement is significantly more snappy and you don't have to worry about crimson heads, kill away without care.

>>9403623
>1998
I see you are indeed a zoomer, no problem, try to play the game, if you concentrate on the gameplay and not so much on the graphics you will have fun I suppose. You said youve beaten re3 so it should be no problem to beat the original.

>>9403623
You are the definition of zoomer. You almost as close to Gen Alpha as you are to being a Millennial.
The game is great, you should have played it before the remake as you’d enjoy the remake more. Still worth playing if you have an adult attention span. It’s “tedious” in a good way because it has real stakes and challenge, and if you get careless you get punished

>>9403569
I assume you mean the remake. Actually no, the remake has some extra bits of tedium on its own (crimson heads) and RE1 is the easiest of the RE games in terms of enemy durability, and is far easier than its remake. It holds up pretty well, even if you've played the remake it's worth playing it to see how the series started, and you'll appreciate some subtle references that were sprinkled through it.

The best versions of original RE are either a patched PC version or the DS version, if you can't do either of those, go for the Director's Cut version. The dual-shock edition of DE has a different (and fairly controversial) soundtrack so keep that in mind.

>>9403741
>if you have an adult attention span
Eh, I am approaching forties and my attention span is very short. The reason why I hate modern sonycore with endless unskippable cutscenes and one of the reaaons why I prefer /vr/. But classic RE trilogy is not tedious at all, especially if you get into that ps1 early 3d vibe and enjoy the atmosphere.

>>9403745
>DS version
It has lower res bad quality backgrounds.

>Is this game worth playing if you've already played the remastered version?
Yes, I enjoy them both equally and they compliment each other nicely
>I heard it's tedious as hell.
Only if you're a fucking idiot. Plenty of survival horror games are genuinely tedious or aggravating but the original RE trilogy is very enjoyable. There's a reason people love to endlessly replay them, they have great pacing and gameplay.

I like the PC version with the Classic REbirth patch or the original, non Dualshock Director's Cut for PS1. The famous "shitty" soundtrack is only in the Dualshock re-release of the Director's Cut.

>I was born 1998 so no I'm not a zoomer
You absolutely are a zoomer but that's okay. Put down the phone and come play some games brutha, classic RE rules so everyone should give it a chance. NO CAP.

>>9403569
as someone who has been a fan of the Resident Evil games from the beginning, it's a must-play. It's also not that long. Bumbling around on your first playthrough, you should be able to beat it in like 4 or 5 hours.
>>9403623
Play the PS1 games in release order my man, start with RE Director's Cut.

>>9403623
You are a zoomer, but the best sort—a zillennial.

>>9403569
It's fine, just play the hack that restores the real music, uncensored FMVs and such, but not the one that adds a glitch, since there are two of these hacks.

>>9403569
Its a pretty short game. Id say play through it as the girl once and be done.

>>9403819
Play the PS1 games in release order my man, start with RE Director's Cut.

>>9403569
If by remastered you mean the REmake then shame on you, it takes a massive dump on the original atmosphere and art direction

Do not ever play a remake before the original game

>>9404356
If by taking a massive dump you mean improving on the art direction in every way, you’re absolutely right

>>9404279
so you're expecting her to play every version of RE1 before moving on to the next games?

Five bait posts in a row. Five. Jesus Christ. It's as though I crash landed in /v/.

>>9404368
If by improving on the art direction in every way you mean taking a
tastefully uncanny modern mansion in the likeness of Kubrick's The Shinning that befits the setting of game named Biohazard about a recent lab accident outbreak, sucking out all it's color twisting into a dilapidated halloween gothic haunted house parody you would see on a Tim Burton movie, you’re absolutely right

>>9403745
>either a patched PC version or the DS version, if you can't do either of those, go for the Director's Cut version
swap DS for Director's Cut and this is closer to to the truth. DS is not for a first playthrough, period.

>>9403623
Zoomer range is 1995-2010

>>9403569
It's a fantastic game and does some things better than the Remake. It's harder, has less filler, you move more quickly, and a whole bunch of different things can happen if you try different things in a different order. Also, the atmosphere is completely different and I personally prefer the OG game's music.

It's definitely worth a play

>>9404492
Watch as remaketurds say it's not realistic because there's not enough beds for the zombies and there's ammo packs laying around all over the place

>>9403569
no

>>9404531
1997 to 2012 actually.

>born 1998
>first resident evil game he's ever played is resident evil 4
you're a zoomer anon deal with it

>>9404279
>Ignore the version that was artificially made harder to boost rentals and start with the one that matches the future games' difficulty
You:
>HURR THAT'S NOT STARTING AT THE BEGINNING
>LOL FUCKING
>LMAO
Director's Cut still came out before RE2, you pedantic retard.

When did /vr/ folk start hating on the REmake? Is this a /v/ psyop?

>>9403571
/thread/

>>9403623
Zoom zoom.

>>9403569
If you didn't find the remake tedious then you won't find the original tedious. If anything the original is a much smoother experience.

>>9403571
>>9403581

Love how /vr/ is now just /v/ and has been for years now. Ironic considering /vr/ is going to be ten years old soon and now its become everything moot was annoyed with regarding /v/.

>>9403623
you actually are but it doesn't matter, because "zoomer" is just a bogeyman propped up by people with shit lives

>>9408451
This. Time is like a river, the age of a "zoomer" is between that of a 12-27 year old. If you're in your early-mid 30's and use name calling as the center of your arguments, then it says a lot more about you than it does about the zoomer.

The people in this thread outside of the OP sound like miserable fucking losers.

>>9408562
welcome to /vr/

>>9408562
id say OP got a pretty miserable life making this thread.

>>9403574
You arrived to that conclusion before making the thread, I wonder why you even bothered posting it.

>>9403620
3 is alright, you'll definitely like it if you enjoyed the first two. I guess people see it as a step down because 2 was so tightly paced and well made. You start seeing the problems with Resident Evil when you expand the map into something bigger, which are exacerbated in Code Veronica.

>>9404356
You're not impressing anyone with you bullshit, just so you know.

>>9404425
>tastefully uncanny modern mansion
You already lost the narrative at this point. There's no coherence to this assertion and the building in The Shining was a mountainside hotel, not a mansion.

>>9408439
>2013
Very few people from back then are still here, they got replaced with election tourists and legit stormlard schizos a long, long time ago.

>>9408606
>the building in The Shining was a mountainside hotel, not a mansion.
Imagine missing the point this hard when the developers even mentioned the shinning aesthetic as an inspiration

>>9408612
Irrelevant, the developers for both versions were largely the same.

>>9408636
And in classic /vr/ fashion you reek of pure ignorance.

Suffice to say Iwao left the company as soon the OG biohazard was done since he and Mikami had a terrible relationship and were constantly butting heads which allowed Mikami to go completely off the rails cranking up the halloween theme park aspects in the remake since he always wanted ghosts anyway

>>9403819
>Bumbling around on your first playthrough, you should be able to beat it in like 4 or 5 hours.
Bullshit, not gonna happen. Don't set unrealistic expectations for a first playthrough.

>>9408652
>halloween theme park
Nowhere to be found in REmake. You're reaching, you're desperate, you want that le oldfeg e-cred. It's not coming.

>>9408654
>candle lit mansion
>not a halloween theme park
pick one.

>>9408654
Yes I must have imagined how the architecture style was completely replaced in favor of a gothic style(to point they have fucking burning candles despite the outbreak happening a while ago) and who could forget the brand new area: a goddamn graveyard

>>9403569
music is doo doo than the original but there may be a patch to patch to remedy this from what I heard

>>9408669
the fucked up music is only on the dualshock version. regular director's cut might as well be the definitive western version

>>9408670
oh okie

I recently played it just before Halloween, after having played REmake a couple years prior. It's a great game and different enough to stand on its own, but you have to be willing to accept its limitations and quirks by reminding yourself that it was the first one sometimes. It creates tension well, but doesn't lean as much into outright horror as the remake in my opinion. The survival elements feel like they're more of the focus in this one.

Why do I get the feeling people defending the remake have never actually played the original? Because all the denial regarding the radical changes in style sure feel like cope

>>9408636
>Irrelevant, the developers for both versions were largely the same.
No they weren't and I don't know where this stupid idea got started. It was Mikami, some code monkey from RE1 promoted to producer, and a couple other miscellaneous staff. None of the core people from RE1 worked on it.

>>9404356
Based

>>9408664
man RE1 PSX is so unrealistic
>No lightswitches
>Barely any windows
keep your zoomer backrooms game

>>9408664
>they have fucking burning candles despite the outbreak happening a while ago
kek good point desu

>>9408608
>tfw been here for even longer
how do i get out?

>>9403569
good luck i never made it past the mansion level even after trying both chris and jill's campaign. the controls are literally the scariest thing about the game. your punished for using ammo (seriously there is a limited amount in the game and once that's gone your guns are worthless) yet the hallways are so narrow you and the controls so bad you have to shoot them. the limited inventory is comes next. hopefully capcom will remake it like re2make

>>9403623
>I was born 1998 so no I'm not a zoomer
That's the literal definition of a zoomer.

Did you think you were a fucking millenial? Gen X?! Lmao

Outside of not being able to immediately tell character HP like RE2/3’s animations, the original RE1 is far less tedious than the remake. The mansion isn’t as big and you don’t want to worry about shit like Crimson Heads.
It’s not like you can say the combat is “slow” like Alone in the Dark, if you could beat the Remake you can easily revisit the original since they practically play identically.

Just the fact that there's no Lisa makes it infinitely superior

>>9408664
wait who the fuck is buried in the graveyard? the mansions only been around for like 10 years right?

>>9409875
filtered,i got used to them after 10 minutes max playing RE1 for the first time.

>>9410543
It came with the Dracula's mansion playset at Konami's yard sale. It was on the $1 table next to the spooky church and giant bat they used in 0.

>>9409294
It wouldn't be surprising. This whole mentality about the remake 'replacing' the original RE1 is a pretty new phenomenon. Back in the early 2000s when you talked about the games most people agreed, even those who preferred the remake, that the games were significantly different enough that it was worth playing both of them.

>>9408608
>NOOO 4CHANNEL WAS NEVER RACISTERINO, REDDIT TOLD ME SO!!!
Nice projection btw, now go back.

re1 is too easy. Just kill everything lol. Can decapitate every zombie 100% of the time. Not a lot of hard decisions to make when you can just delete every enemy without consequence.

Complaining about realism and candles is funny when the original has just campy engrish meme-dialogue

>>9410834
>campy engrish meme-dialogue
at least thats funny,mansion with candles days or week after a zombie outbreak is dumb.

>>9410834
Bad voice acting/poorly translated dialogue was unintentional, japanese devs are unable to have much of a hand on its execution and can't even tell how bad it was mangled. The philosophy shift in art direction was very much a deliberate (terrible) artistic decision.

>>9403569
Hell yeah, it's got a different vibe to it, both are masterpieces.

>>9410849

Japanese devs actually directed the campy live action sequence

>>9409875
How about you hang yourself fucking retarded low test modern tranny

>>9410993

hook, line and sinker

>>9408602
>You start seeing the problems with Resident Evil when you expand the map into something bigger
elaborate, please

>>9410685
capcom themselves have treated remake as a replacement. they were severely embarrassed by the voice acting in the original when they found out how it came across to american audiences. probably also has something to do with remake being easier to get ahold of for dummies/lazies so they cope by ignoring the original.
