Love the first 3 games, might replay 4 though its on PS2 which is the inferior version. Got a 36" Sony Trinitron TV and plan on playing the first 3 games this summer when I get my own place. Currently playing Code Veronica on the 27" Trinitron for the first time, not bad but the cutscenes can be over-the-top and the crossbow is a pretty shitty weapon, reached the Antarctica facility and still haven't picked up a shotgun yet.

It's a shame how much these games changed after RE4, I miss the fixed camera angles and pre-rendered backgrounds, everything looks so detailed, especially 2 and 3 how there's dead bodies, damaged vehicles, broken glass, newspaper lying around, blood, store signs, road blocks, etc. Another one is when you go to the STARS room and each member's desk matches their personality (Chris has his guitar and leather jacket, Jill has candy and a lockpick, Rebecca has a med pack, Barry has firearm paraphernalia, Wesker, being the leader, has a desk full of stacks of paper).

I spent some time just wandering around the levels looking at the attention to detail.

Dude how have you not picked up the shotgun? Its in that lower level of the training base, one with the stream/waterafll/whatever. You go down the stairs and shotgun is on the wall. If you pick it up stairs go up and you have to backtrack around.

You can pick it up later with Chris anyway but still.

CV is a great game.

You can get it later with Chris, don't worry.
Also you should've saved the empty fire extinguisher after using it in that initial part of the game. You can re-load it in the antarctica base with Claire and re-use it on an optional part to get the Magnum. Most people fuck up by dumping it in that metalic box after using it instead of dragging it to the itembox.

I have always maintained that Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the apex of the series, closely followed by the original.

I always set myself niche challenges to do which is down to a really old Youtube series I used to follow back in 2006. They had a forum and everything. People may or may not enjoy it but check this out.

I Googled and still cant get a strait answer. Some say you only need an A rank on scenario 1 and 2. Some say you need both. Some say you just need to clear both on normal.
I got A rank with Leon scenario 1 and then continued Claire scenario 2 and got a B. Clearing the game 6 times unlocks Tofu I believe .

>Some say you only need an A rank on scenario 1 and 2
Meant to say scenario 1 OR 2.
Anyway I finished after getting an A rank in scenario 1 with Leon and it only unlocked EX battle which I had already unlocked. Gamefags says "Beat the A and B scenarios with any Character on the normal difficulty setting." which hasn't worked. I'm going to try clearing with A rank on both scenarios and see if I get anything. I started a Claire A scenario because i think scenario 2 is easier with Leon.
I think the confusion on this stems from the fact that RE2 has like a gorillion different versions which might have different requirements to unlock Hunk.

what the fuck was with the RPD?

they had a functional thing going on with 1.5 and then they turned it into a goofy monstrosity in RE2 because I guess they wanted to ride off the mansion vibe from 1

iirc the STARS room was moved after the mansion incident but it still had a desk for wesker and no desk for brad unless he just sat at the communications desk

and why did they have an evidence locker in the STARS room? was their armory also an evidence locker or does STARS actually just keep MAC-11s for shits and giggles?

Exactly. This, is one of the main issues with RE2.
It is torn apart being "willing to do its thing" and "copy pasting RE1".

The irony being that they ditched 1.5 because "it was too much like RE1" and ended up doing a copy pasting of many things from it, down to the number of keys to use before leaving the mansion a little, only to come back to it to open the same number of doors with the 4th key while hunters/lickers have invaded the place.

Don't get me wrong, I hate RE5 on its own, I remember being super hyped for it on release and then not even finishing it in one go. Literally played for an hour and half and said "fuck this". And that was in the peak of my RE fanboyism too.

But in coop, on the hardest difficulty it makes for a very tactical, fun game. What makes is so fun for me is that its absolutely necessary to divide the weapons between the players and constantly toss respective ammo between the two of you so that you dont waste 6 slots each on having six weapons each.

It's also what made RE6's coop utterly redundant. There was no mutual item management, ie. if there is an ammo item on the floor and if player 1 picks it up, it doesnt dissappear for player 2, player 2 can also pick it up. Its retarded and ruins the immersion totally.

I played Gears of War in coop, played Payday, played tactical shooters like old Rainbow Six/ARMA, played the best stuff that vidya has to offer and RE5 is still my favorite coop experience to this day.

But oh boy is it a horrible RE. Ironically I consider it to be more of a RE than RE4, whatever that might mean to you.

In RE5 you at least have characters occasionally bringing up prior events, Sheva acknowledges Chris's past, there's Jill and fucking Wesker in it... it feels nothing like RE but you cannot say it's not a RE game.

Whereas RE4 completely drops the ball as soon as the castle area starts. Shitty comedic relief humor, Leon acting as a poor man's Dante, completely isolated feeling but in the wrong way, I just can't put it in words properly but I think you get what I mean. It works awesomely on its own but there is nothing akin to RE in it.

I must've replayed RE4 at least 15 times throughout the years and every time I play it I realize I like it less and less.

I've played it maybe 6-7 times, i enjoy it but then i think about it as a sequel to 3 and everything falls flat. It should have been a spin off of the series.

I could never get the Item Randomizer to work on emulation. The problem is that you need to unlock it, and I could neither find a gameshark code nor a savefile.

So I tried to beat the game emulated, but no matter which emulator or rom i tried, the game would always crash in the lab in the A scenario.

of the numbered titles, 5 and 0 are definitely the weakest points

of the side titles, they're all at least generally enjoyable aside from the chronicles games and, to a slight extent, gaiden

>the absolute laziest enemy designs

>awkward and ugly weapons

honestly the game would've been fine if it had just had a dylan/regina-styled switching between the two characters instead of having to constantly and awkwardly do retarded puzzles while switching characters, an item box, and proper enemy design

if they had just kept it at the giant earwigs and the first scorpion boss, it would've been good, but they just had to add a bunch more dumb animals for no reason and they didn't even do it well like the drain deimos from 3

You could just drop all the shit in the central "hub" room of every area anyway, map tells you where you dropped every item conveniently. I honestly enjoyed the system for what it was - a one time experiment that tried to do something different. Plus you are essentially having two inventories worth of item slots for 90% of the game so not a whole lot of dropping is necessary.

Items that you had to keep track of were always a part of RE games. We are talking about one baktrack that takes like two minutes, its a staple of the series.

Enemy designs, I will give you that much despite it sort of making sense with the forest and all.
Plot too, I admit.

Weapons, I liked. I mean I hated that the amount of gun porn was on level of RE1, and that is unexcusable for a game that came out after RE2 and RE3. But the weapons themselves, I enjoyed. Ex-military dude gets the 1911, Rebecca has her stars handgun, you have two shotguns - a stronger and slower and a weaker but more capacity one.

It looks gorgeous, it has classic RE exploration and puzzle solving, plus when played on the hard difficulty its probably the most challenging RE game. I get why you dislike it, I'm just saying that half of those points are very subjective and up until a few years ago everyone was raving on how Zero is awesome and now it kinda got a bit trendy to shit on it, like its trendy to shit on MGS series.

RE1: dated in many respects, but still an amazing game. dialogue is obviously awful and a clean brightly lit mansion isn't very spooky but it still has some of the best "survival" gameplay of the series. never too much ammo or health items, and the enemies can be deadly.

RE2: storywise it's definitely among the most memorable of the series, best characters, some of the coolest locales. gameplay has been slightly improved over the original in a few respects. some of the best monster designs of the series are found here. the original licker design is definitely my favourite RE creature, and the introduction of the idea of a constant re-appearing antagonist (Mr. X) was a great step forward for the series. the extra minigames and modes in later versions were a great addition but i feel as if the scenario system (Leon A, Claire B, Claire A, Leon B) could have been executed better.

RE3: while graphically it's almost identical to RE2, there are so many small gameplay enhancements here that veterans of the series will appreciate. the quick turn and the dodge system give the player character just the right amount of mobility, so that you don't feel like a clunky tank but also at the same time can't dodge and weave through enemies without considerable skill. the gunpowder system is an interesting addition that adds replay value to further playthroughs, as does the enemy randomizer, which means that any given area can spawn a different set of enemies each playthrough. in my opinion the gameplay of RE3 is probably the most refined of the classic games. RE3 also has the most memorable antagonist of any game in the series, as well as some great characters. the story is slightly less interesting or important to the plot than RE2, but it's definitely serviceable and keeps things simple and realistic. the mercenaries minigame is probably the best minigame the series has seen.

CV: in my opinion, the low point of the original classic games. not a bad game by any means. graphics of the original dreamcast release were absolutely phenomenal at the time, however the new 3D environments were vastly less detailed than previous games which hurt the atmosphere, and the moving camera killed the tension that the static angles provided. for some reason many of the good gameplay mechanics from RE3 have been stripped away here. no dodge mechanic, no ammo creation, and no randomization means each playthrough is virtually identical. has the most annoying characters of the entire series. storyline is downright silly at times and largely inconsequential. later versions of the game included a time-attack style minigame similar to mercenaries from RE3 that wasn't very fun. the game also included a bizarre first person mode that was rarely used.

SURVIVOR SERIES: played these very little, but they seemed like decent lightgun games. however probably not worthy of the RE name.

DEAD AIM: a great little gem of a game. perfect mix between first person shooting action and classic RE exploration. story does a great job of bridging the gap between the classic era and the RE4 era of resident evil, with some cool characters to boot. seems like a progenitor to RE4 in many ways.

OUTBREAK SERIES: absolutely amazing multiplayer experience. offline solo is serviceable, but probably only worth a single playthrough. stands with nemesis as having some of the most refined gameplay in the series. graphically it suffers from some of the same downsides as CV, but its more forgiveable here due to the multiplayer nature of the game. an absolute blast to play online with friends. i feel like it could have used a few more interesting creature designs, and a couple of the boss fights are a little lame, but by and large its great fun. the introduction of melee weapons and different skills and maneuvers for each character was a great addition.

For instance in the first room of the park, with may either find zombies, or hunters. Several rooms are like that in the game. Or in the street with the firetruck, either dogs or crows may crash through the glass of the shop.
Same with a few herbs and powder, you may find them in place A or in place B.
Some people claim it depends on your action but that's not true. It's just random but always between 2 different possible outcomes.

REMAKE: absolute vidyakino. top tier of the series. cinematically brilliant and graphically beautiful, it took everything that was great about the gameplay in the original and enhanced it with an atmosphere that's 10 times scarier. if you're going to play 1 survivor horror game in your life, make it this one. the harder difficulties of this game are probably the best "survival horror" experience that's ever been made.

RE0: graphically it's about on par with REmake, however the story is nonsensical fanfiction-tier garbage that makes almost no sense in the context of the first game. the first couple of hours aboard the train are memorable for the locale alone, and the idea that corpses among the background become living zombie enemies as the gameplay progresses was a cool idea. the lack of item boxes was a misstep, and there's very few memorable sequences or enemies to write home about here.

RE4: absolutely amazing single player experience. not classic RE in the slightest, completely different style of game, but it works. absolutely huge amount of content was packed in here for a standard retail price game at the time. campaign was lengthy and good all the way through. some small tie ins with the earlier games here and there to remind you you're playing a RE game but for the most part this game can be appreciated entirely on its own. almost nothing negative to say here, the side content and minigames are all fantastic, the only complaint is that this marked the death of classic style RE.

RE5: absolute garbage in many ways. the storyline is shlock and the singleplayer campaign is incredibly tedious and uninteresting. however if you take this game online with a friend, it becomes one of the greatest co-op experiences ever made in my opinion. tons of fun as close cooperation and teamwork is needed at all times. its worth playing just for this alone.

I dunno, I've loved the RE series since I got director's cut in '99 or 2000, and I love 6 and the revelations titles, and 7 was very enjoyable if not awkwardly short

I think gaiden gets a lot of unfair shit because everyone just looks at it and goes "yeah nah fuck that" but, aside from its awkward battle system, it seems like an interesting title

it was things like that that made me really like RE3 more than RE2 or 1, because, while 2 did have some visual storytelling in the form of how abandoned the station was, it never had any corpses as a part of the scenery

that's something dino crisis 2 and RE3 did very well, even if some of the corpses were a little off-scale at times

[Anonymous No.3932310]

Dino Crisis 2 is fucking gorgeous. I am replaying it at the moment actually, the only thing that ruins it is how easy it is to manipulate the respawns/grind for points. Thankfully the hard difficulty is proper hard and is the right way to play the game.

Oddly enough I never realized that I could manipulate the respawns when I was a kid. Also some of the most satisfying weapons in video games ever.

RE2 had some scenery corpses... not a lot but its hardly "never". The guy holding the shotty upgrade kit, the guy in the room next to the RPD basement stairs, hunk's teammate in scenario B's fingerprint room, bunch of them in the sewers etc. RE3 did in fact do it a lot better, just sayin

[Anonymous No.3932313]

>>3932310
I suppose it had a few, but I recall the shotgun parts guy being an actual zombie model

I believe the RPD stairs room guy was also a zombie model

aside from in the sewers, lab, and streets, I don't recall very many background corpses

also, as a kid, I learned that you can get new spawns per camera angle in the small room after you first encounter the T-rex with that wall in the center, and I'd just run in a circle around the room until I exhaust the entire room of its respawns
I'm kinda sad that the only dino crisis games we got after that was a light gun game part of the gun survivor series and whatever the fuck dino crisis 3 was which I probably would've enjoyed if not for the fucking camera angles

[Anonymous No.3932315]

>>3932313
I only learned like a year ago that the dino gun survivor game provides you with the story ending for DC2, as in what happenes with Dylan and Regina finally. Its an alright lightgun shooter for what its worth.

DC2 is just... great. I love that game so much. I'd compare it to RE2 in the sense of that the atmosphere is constantly changing. First you have the jungle, then the boat ride, then the underwater part, then the edward city with all those depressive memos, etc. And the gameplay is constantly fresh because the game throws cool unique shit at you every half an hour. Boat lightgun segment, tank driving section, underwater section, the signal rocket section, the jeep triceraptos shooty etc. Just fucking awesome.

I don't know. I don't know if anyone figured how the game makes the decision, I mean I'm certain it's random as in not linked to the player's actions but it has to take the decision from somewhere, somehow. Would be something interesting to investigate if one day I get better at romhacking.

All I know is that all the RNG the game has is hell for speedrunners and modders. I think the RNG is pretty much the main reason why RE3 PC doesn't have mods like RE2 does. Change something and there is too much chance for the whole thing to break.

Forgot to say, if you guys like this kind of game, and I supposed you've played Parasite Eve 2, I say check out Vampire Hunter D. It's more sword fighting than guns blazing, more like Onimusha before its time, but it's very underrated imo. Just make sure to turn off the auto lock system, that thing does anything but help.

There is also Soul of the Samurai which is decent, works like RE2 with the scenario system.

chaos break is a pretty interesting RE-like, though it honestly feels more like a mishmash of dino crisis and MGS1, and there's always sega's actual RE ripoff, deep fear, plus martian gothic for PS1 as well

You mean keeping the 4/3 aspect ratio fullscreen? I don't think the game has a setting for that, but your video card settings should do the trick.

>>3932336
Also if you guys like Onimusha, you NEED to get Genma Onimusha on XBOX. Greatest port EVER. Not only it's harder than the original game, with different enemy placement, and you go through the game in a slightly different way kinda like RE:Director's Cut, but there are new areas, new enemies, new armors and even a new Soul system that inspired the sequels.

AND it has an actualy hard mode; and the PAL version is actually 60HZ unlike the PS2 version.

Genma Onimusha is the sole reason I got myself an XBOX and to this day I don't regret it.
Only thing that sucks is that the XBOX pad is terrible for tnak controls, so I got an adapter that lets me use a PS2 pad on xbox. Got one for Gamecube as well.

I don't know about difficulty differences but I will tell you of one trick that makes arguably the hardest RE game into a pretty amusingly easy game

the way the knife works(at least in the PS2 version)is that it can have multiple hits per slash if pointed downwards depending on the hitbox, so if you just downward slash at zombies, they'll fall over, and if you downward slash at a fallen zombie, you'll get a good 4-6 hits in one slash

that trick was a godsend for beating the game, even if the C-130 cargo bay tyrant fight and the final alexia fight were actual suffering

despite all its alleged flaws, I really do love CV/X

There are also plenty of details you can see in the PC versions which is obvious you're not supposed to be able to see. For instance random text re-used in several places, sometimes mirrored, like the "catholic church" sign in places just to create the illusion of details, because they knew it wouldn't be possible to read it on PS1.

Because you get the superior replacement weapons quickly enough, for both primary and secondary. Default shotty is redundant after the initial 20 minutes of the game.

So is the machette, you only use it with clearing the wine-covered doors and the default one does that just as fine. Invest into higher capacity for the energy ball rifle thingy instead, enemies are spongy on the hard difficulty.

>it was horror, just not to the more fearless people

"Horror", as a genre, is neither synonymous of "fear" nor dependant on people's feelings.
First, "fear" is only one side of the "horror" spectrum and it's not a mandatory aspect. Horror also encompass many things like disgust, gore, being unsettled, etc

Secondly it doesn't make sense to say that a game or movie belongs to the horror genre for person A but not for person B. That's not how genre or theme defining works, what matters is the intent. If the game clearly intends to disgust and/or unsettle and/or scare, and if those aspects are proeminent enough, then it has a horror theme. Whether or not those intents have any effect on person A or B is irrelevant to the genre or theme.

You have a narrow view of the definition of "action". For video games it means having twitch based controls. Survival horror IS action by definition, action-adventure with a horror theme, if you take out the action in a survival horror, it stops being one and becomes adventure-horror, for instance point&click games with a horror theme like the Dark Fall series.

For a survival horror as far as the action is concerned, what matters is the type of action, the mechanics, so that it's "survival action". You mention the number of shells, but you forget how you acquire and use those shells. For instance enemies don't drop supplies like in a regular action game, you have to look for them, most often in hidden places like dark corners, or locked rooms and drawers. Then, to even use them, it takes space in a very limited inventory, and you even have to go out of your way and solve a puzzle to even acquire the shotgun. That's without even mentionning the aiming/shooting mechanics which, coupled with the camera angles, put the player into a more dangerous zone than in a "regular action" game.

Honestly this "Resident Evil is not survival horror" meme is getting old & ridiculous considering it's RE which came up with the name

[Anonymous No.3936521]

I'm 26 and have been playing REs since back in the day in the 90s.

Even today on my 50th playthrough or so when I play it alone in the dark during the night with cranked up sound i still find it eerie and want to stop playing after a bit. It's not scary, I am not scared, but it simply does have that eerie kind of vibe, like you would rather do something else.

And yes I played all the Silent Hills and other horror titles. RE is just better as a game.

>>3936514
the problem with horror and survival horror in general is taht nobody agrees with what it really is

I myself can't entirely describe the genres because they're so vague

when shit like slashers and whatnot get described as horror it really fucks up what people think of horror as, but when you think that only things like The Thing should be considered horror, that also brings problems because of the "what about this" question

all that aside, since this is, more or less, the de facto survival/horror thread, does anyone know if countdown vampires has more to it and how to get more content? is there an extra scene when you beat gells instead of beating the wololo witches? and is there a notification that the "special mode" you get for beating the game in under 7hrs or does is just begin automatically? what exactly does the special mode provide?

Thanks guys. Yeah I grew up with the old REs and original DC so I think I'll begin with the more challenging difficulty. Though from what I've seen and heard it sort of branches away from the traditional survival horror formula. It's sort of funny DC does this in its second installment while parasite eve does the exact opposite.

>>3934914
I have a Sharp component mts. I don't know much about CRTs but the picture quality doesn't seem that great (though I've only played twisted metal 2 and a handful of nes games on it thus far). Would I benefit much by waiting to play these on a proper setup? I'm.wanting to play through the RE trilogy and DC games; I haven't played through many of said games since my childhood so I don't mind waiting a little longer to get the ideal setup if the consensus is it will be worth it.

No, it's still in development. God knows how long it still takes. The team had to switch to a completely new game engine, one developed by themselves, because it just wasn't possible to fix the old one, it was too full of holes. But this transition unfortunately translates to longer dev times still, and it's already been 5 years since the whole thing was revealed to public. Let's just hope that it doesn't turn into another Duke Nukem Forever.

I believe part of that is due to the low-poly graphics that makes the zombies so large and clunky looking, it really adds to the atmosphere. The fewer colors also give a nice surreal touch. I never liked the tryhard zombies of REmake for example and always found the almost monochromatic ones of RE1 istinctively terrifying.
I really think we lost a lot once we reached the PS2 era in terms of uneasiness those previous games could generate by virtue of being only distantly related to reality a lot more fear but that was gone from then onward.

I like how the environments in the original are more differentiated from each other. They're more detailed in the remake but a bit samey.

running re3 right now. Recently finished the 3(6) A ranks to get HUNK in RE2, as well as a successful knife run in the original and remake. I still struggle so hard with this game.

I appreciate the game design, i.e. You have to manually grab that key in the beginning of the game, make a choice to leave and "escape". And the constant mobbing of enemies makes it very hard to skirt around zombies. I was entertaining the idea of a knife run but I barely scraped out of that Nemesis fight.

love the context sensitive dodge button, that random bs got me out of the Nemmy fight.

[NESfag No.3946713]

>>3946334
>I was entertaining the idea of a knife run but I barely scraped out of that Nemesis fight.

Ouch. I did a knife only run in Biohazard 3 easy difficulty, which is the easiest version of the game.

Honestly, there is only ONE fight in the game that's hard knife only, but that one alone make it the hardest game to knife only in the series. I'm talking the Nemesis fight at the clock tower. Even in BH3 easy, that fight is still an half an hour endurance in which you have to do a STEP BY STEP dance against Nemesis to "control" his timing and to get safe knife hits, and a single step off the pattern, or too soon or too early, and you get hit.
I imagine you gotta add several mins to do the same in RE3.

I did a no-death (no save) knife only run in RE1, but I know I'll never try in 3 because of that one fight.

One thing that's nice about RE3 though is that like in 1, a lot of situations can be overcome even if you have no ammo, and a just a knife, including bossfights. That's an important concept for surival horror balance and it's something weaker copy cats gameplay wise fail to grasp, like RE2 and Silent Hill.

When you go back to the mansion there are hunters in almost every room and corridor and they are harder to kill than in the remake.

Funny, I just stopped playing the DS port a couple minutes ago and came to this thread to bitch about this. The route from Plant 42 to the taxidermy room to the stone tiger head room has you encounter atleast 7 hunters as Chris, more if you run downstairs to the item box in the west wing. You can't very well run from most of these because you're in tight corridors, if they close in on you they get off attacks before you can raise your gun all the way and turning around to distance yourself risks that atrocious OHKO head decapitation shit.

mhm, it was the Clock Tower fight that was a brick wall for me. RE1, outside of Plant 42 and Tyrant, isn't that hard to knife run if you have the healing items. REmake also has the Trevor bossfight, which was a whirl of fun, but none of them really seem to compare to my trouble spots in Nemesis. And I just got the hunters..

I wanted to try RE2 knife but the fight Birkin fight, with the ground crawlers.. I just couldn't aim at them in the camera angle it gave you and ragequit. Probably got out while I was still sane.

In the entrance hall, you can just run to the office door, though you'll miss the red herbs (WHEN they are there).

Then, wether you meet them in the research room upstairs or in the lab and corridor downstairs, you can use the explosives on the wall to help kill them. Use the 2nd aim trigger button.

Then for the ones that come crashing through the tubes, if you run as soon as you can to the door, they won't have time to catch up to you, like in the entrance hall.

Honestly Hunters in RE3 are easier compared to RE1. They have less HP, and in RE1 they have a lot of invicible frames, which they don't here.

I love their design and animations in 3, but they're a little weak imo.

The PC port of RE1 is available, but it's almost unplayable. I still finished it. It's based on the original 1996 release, the only differences being the ability to skip door animations (but not cutscenes) and new guns for Jill (Ingram SMG) and Chris (FN Minimi).

As for RE2 and RE3, there's a 2006 rerelease that works fine on modern systems, but it's Japanese only (there are unofficial translations around).
