there are ports that add some extra shit but there's nothing wrong with the vanilla release

[Anonymous No.4363692]

I've been playing Code Veronica Kanzenban (JP only version that's basically X but on the Dreamcast as far as I understand). I really like the health being displayed on the VMU so I have to ask, are the ports for 2 and 3 worth getting if I already have the PS1 versions (although they're the PSN releases, not physical copies)? I think I remember them being expensive though.

[Anonymous No.4363694]

Why don't you burn them and try it for yourself?

[Anonymous No.4363753]

>>4363692
yes they are very worth it if you are a big fan of the series. besides pc of course, the dreamcast versions of resident evil are the better versions out there. 2 has improved graphics and the mini games are unlocked off the bat, and the VMU health screen and all that dreamcast goodness is on both 2 and 3. the settings menu is changed to be like the pc version, meaning you get that cool mirror to stand in front of and swivel the character around.

same goes for 3 with all that i said. improved graphics, unlockables are all unlocked already, and VMU health screen.

but honestly thats up to you if its worth paying 30-60 dollars for RE2 on dreamcast and 20-40 dollars for re3 on dreamcast. i bought them because i love classic RE and im happy with it.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed 2 and 3 on easy, but was always infuriated by code Veronica since I only had the Dreamcast version which had no easy mode so I never got far into it. In a way I am glad since now I can properly play it as an adult it's like having a whole new classic RE game to enjoy

Psx version is standard version with no extras, but it's a solid game. Well worth playing.

Psx dual shock version adds easier easy mode and ex battle mode. Nothing special, except it has dual shock support. Also, it seems to be slightly easier than the standard release. Like, enemies can take 2-3 fewer shots to kill. I could be wrong on that though.

N64 version has ex files written by Rebecca from RE1/0, but they add nothing major to the plot. The real draw is the 2D control scheme (no tank controls)

Gamecube version is the same as the dual shock version, but it's all on one disc, and you can skip scenes by pressing start.

DC version is the dual shock version, but with all extras unlocked from start, unlockable "making of" material and fully custom mappable controls.

Game.com version is fully 2D, and shortened, I think k. Very poor gameplay anyway.

PC version is same as dual shock release, or maybe DC version. Just on PC.

Take your pick.

It's funny, when Resident Evil 4 came out, I remember saying "uh... I thought Code Veronica WAS Resident Evil 4..."

All that aside, what happened with CV is that is was originally in development for the psx as RE3. More or less with the engine used for Dino crisis.

Sega offered Capcom money and help making a better looking full 3D RE, so the game moved and got the name change.

A second RE3, which may have started life as a side game, was made for the psx, and the original CV engine was used to make Dino Crisis. (Watch the way the camera moves in both games, and look at the main characters running animations if you don't believe me)

Rather similar to RE0, which started out as a psx game with samurias, then moved to ps2, then renamed to onimisha. Then RE0 restarted as an n64 game, then moved to gamecube before finally being released.

Or how there was 4-5 versions of RE4 in development at different times before the one we fially got.

Is it bad that I know as much about the background of each game as I do the games thselves?

[Anonymous No.4366078]

Fucking shit, the past two days I have started a RE3 game three separate times trying to get through the Racoon City section without saving since the game penalizes you so much for doing so. I always end up dying towards the end to something retarded. Just blew myself up trying to kill a bug with an explosive thing outside the sales office. Getting really frustrating. Each time I sink at least an hour and a half into the play through and I always die to something different.

[Anonymous No.4366086]

Not at all. They are superior in every conceivable way. Emulating the console versions would be a waste of time when you could simply download the PC versions. Best part of all of this, is that there is no load time.

Yes. But you have to use a specific controller, a Xbox 360 controller will not work. You have to use a PC controller(like a logictech brand controller or any other PC only brands) or PS3 controller for it to work properly.

Is Resident Evil 0 worth a play?

I miss Resident Evil 1\2 style, I know people love remake but somehow they made the mansion more dirty and more gothic horror, which is fine, but I like the pristine mansion from the first along with the creepy midi music.

There is something in RE1 that just meshes well perfectly together.

[Anonymous No.4375231]

So... what do you guys think of RE 3?

[Anonymous No.4375453]

>>4375214
I think RE0 is great. I was just playing it for Halloween and did a couple runs.

It's almost unanimously agreed it's not as good as REmake for many reasons but it's still a solid old school style RE with item carry limits, puzzles, and the like. It just seems like the devs were trying some new mechanics and didn't quite realize how to use them right. Like you get two characters, but often taking a partner along into a strange room opens them up for getting hit. So you're better off exploring with one (Billy, who is stronger) and when the coast is clear bringing Rebecca along. Two characters are a nice idea but the way they worked it it kind of backfired and encourages you to just use one.

Still worth a play and it goes for $10 on Steam on most sales.

[Anonymous No.4375782]

People have different tastes.
I prefer RE1 and 2. 3 is too linear and Jill looks stupid.
The first two are so simply but effective, the grand pristine mansion with a secret lab, the second the classic town of zombies and masonic police headquarters.

RE4 feels good but killed RE. And honestly it has good chunky combat but I hate its texture work its brown shit over brown shit.
I dont like 7 for the same reason, its a good game, but I dislike the setting.

[Anonymous No.4375789]

Forcing first person in RE7 was the dumbest decision. They could easily have made the game as-is but put in a static camera mode and make it third person.

[Anonymous No.4375806]

>>4375789
If they had made the same effort with the assets for a remake of the mansion it would have been amazing. The swamp setting is just fucking dirty and unfun for me.

I dont give a fuck about remake also because capcom made the games grimier as they went along.

Zero is cool except for fucking sephiroth and Code Veronica is not bad as well.

[Anonymous No.4377330]

>>4376906
You should've played RE1 first instead of REmake to be honest. The latter game works better if you have expectations from the original.
>Gun Survivor 1
PS1 exclusive, about 3 hours long and fairly easy. I'd say play it, as it has some neat lore and areas.
>Gun Survivor 2: Code Veronica
PS2 exclusive and only available in PAL and Asian formats. Pick it up if you want, it only has about 2 canon files ad the whole thing is a dream sequence. Isn't that fun either.
>Code Veronica and CVX
I'd say pick up both. They're very important to the series story, 5 especially, and it links back to the RE3 Epilogue files for Chris and Claire, as well as a few of the EX Files in RE2 on the N64. Code Veronica was released only on the Dreamcast and CVX is a rerelease of that but with altered cutscenes involving Wesker.
>Dead Aim/Gun Survivor 4: Heroes Never Die
Great game and has fuckall to do with the rest of the series, in addition to only being $10 and PS2 exclusive. You have literally no excuse not to play it.
>Gaiden
A $100 non-canon GBC game. Originally, it was a canonical companion piece to CV, but RE4 made it non-canon. Emulate it if you want, it has Barry and Leon in it.
>Outbreak 1 and 2
Good if you like the Raccoon City and want to see more stories about the survivors. Bad if you don't like long loading times. They're $20 each, so get them. PS2 exclusives as well.
>Biohazard 4D Executer
Canonical 20 minute movie you can find on Youtube. Literally no excuse.
>Revelations 1
I think it's complete dogshit, but a lot of people like it. Takes place inbetween 4 and 5
>Degeneration
Same as above, including time placement.
>Revelations 2
The best RE game after 0. Play RE5 and its DLC before it though. Takes place inbetween 5 and 6
>Damnation
Fun movie. Takes place inbetween 5 and 6.
>ORC
Non-canon Raccoon City shitshow that ruins 2, 3 and the Outbreak games.

(Cont.)
>Umbrella and Darkside Chronicles
Railshooters only on the Wii and PS3. If you have a Move, get the PS3 version. If you don't, get the Wii version, as the controller controls are Godawful. The first game explains how Wesker came back (if you didn't read CV's Wesker Report, which a lot of people didn't) and explains the actual fall of Umbrella, and Darkside does something 4 failed to do, which was give a character from 4 some interesting backstory. Shame it wasted on a character I couldn't give less of a shit about.
>Umbrella Corps.
Takes place from 2013 to 2016 I believe. The files are canon, as well as some voice clips including this one.
https://mu6.me/139882
Game is shit, but easy, as every mission is 'Beat 20 enemies 3 times'.
>Vendetta
Takes place inbetween 6 and VII. Really bad movie but "people" like the action scenes. It's also not important to the rest of the series.
>VII
Really poor attempt at recapturing what made the originals good, but you have to pick it up if you're invested, as it's completely changing the lore and story.
Get the Gold Edition.
>Suggested versions of mainline games
The Saturn of DS version of RE1 are objectively the best. Saturn having Battle Mode and DS just being the best. Then there is Director's Cut on PS1 and the PC version. And below that is Director's Cut Dualshock on the PS1 and only version of PSN. Has really shit music, avoid it unless you're a collector
>RE2
PC or Dreamcast version are best. GCN and PS1 Greatest Hits are good as well. There's also the Jap only Sourcenext version, which is arguably the best version of the game, if it wasn't in Japanese.
>RE3
Same as above.
>RE4
PC when the HD mod gets finished. Wii if you like motion controls. PS4 is best right now for consoles.
>RE5
PC and PS4 are best. PS3 Gold Edition has motion controls.
>RE6
PC and PS4
>REmake and 0
See above
>REVII
Wait for Gold Edition, see above.

I will never not be mad at Umbrella Chronicles. You get mobbed by monsters before you can shoot them all down and you miss half the items because the game moves you out of rooms before you can explore them. Fine, whatever, but what really pissed me off is despite slogging through some very fucking difficult stages that demand almost perfection, I'm still not allowed to beat the game because you need a certain rank on the Nemesis stage and I just can't do it. I use up all my ammo then have to waste 30 minutes re-doing the mansion a dozen times to restock.

I'm saying REmake generally looks good, but some areas are blurry or muddy looking, like the 2F hallway outside the armor room, and the caves in general. The shark area always looked extra grainy to me too. I heard it was because they no longer had the original renders and just had to touch up the Gamecube ones, whereas for RE0 they could update the originals to HD directly so it looks a lot more cleaner and crisp. I want them to do a full no new remake of REmake with 4K graphics but it will never happen. It'll be a miracle if REmake 2 ever gets made.

Just finished playing RE: Code Veronica for the first time. So, this was where the series started going downhill.

>boring 3D environments with less attention to detail compared to the previous 3 games.
>shitty music
>cringey dialogue (even RE2,3 had better VAs and writing)
>less gore (no dismemberment of limbs or head with high caliber firearms or explosives)
>worst backtracking in the series
>relies on cheap jump scares since there's little to no creepy atmosphere (again, shitty music and environments)
>over-the-top action packed, slow motion cutscenes directed by Michael Bay and John Woo

I liked the music. There's quite a few good pieces in there. I especially love the song for Alfred's introduction. It's just perfect for the scene and character.
>cringey dialogue (even RE2,3 had better VAs and writing)
The only real cringe came from Steve and Claire when interacting with Steve. Wesker and his raging hard-on like you wouldn't believe was just bad enough to be good, as was Chris, and the VAs for the Ashford twins were pretty good.
>over-the-top action packed, slow motion cutscenes directed by Michael Bay and John Woo
Have you played anything after 0 yet? Because that's just the beginning. Later games like Darkside and Umbrella Chronicles manage to go back and ruin the originals by inserting dumb action movie shit.

CV had the best knife in the series, and I think is the most rewarding to knife run. The 3D camera is nice, but the lack of overall detail hurts atmosphere I agree. I enjoyed that CV balanced all boss encounters against environmental OHKOs. srsly, v. Nosferatu with Knife only is great fun.

I personally liked the cheesy dialogue, Alfred is endearing, Steve is annoying but Steve also meets a terrible end so why are people so sour about him?

CV is where they started to transform the characters into superheroes. The thing is that the protagonists of the RE games were supposed to be survivors, unexceptional, everyday people that were caught on a terrifying situation and just wanted to escape.

They shouldn't have "returned", period. They should have lived their adventure and then disappeared, spending the rest of their lives dealing with their trauma and certainly NOT actively seeking more. The ONLY excusable exception was Jill on RE3. She was caught on a city overran by zombies, that's understandable, and not deliberately running into danger. That's exactly what happened from CV onwards, the protagonists went "heroic", and things got progressively worse until the fuckery that was RE6, which had it's draw on the Leon vs Chris scene rather than the atmosphere and the monsters.

It seems that Capcom finally "got it" with RE7: new setting, new protagonist, new adventure, tone down the action shit, tone up the horror stuff. And guess what, it worked. The game was acclaimed and sold very well, showing that this is really the way to go.

RE4 is where I had issues with the series since the zombies started talking, which made it less scary. They use weapons, which made it less scary & more frustrating. RE4 is where I said "fuck it", I sold the game to a friend of mine and never looked back. As for RE7, I don't like the FPS shit. So I never got around to playing it. They went full retard when they did that. I like seeing my characters from a third person prospective.But my guess is that they did it in a first person view because of Playstation VR. All the more reason for me not to buy the VR shit.

Chris and Jill were part of what was basically the Raccoon City SWAT team.
Leon was a rookie cop and Claire had weapons training from Chris. HUNK, Tofu and Ada were all highly trained mercs and spies.
Jill in RE3 was a former RPD STARS member and also a conspiracy theorist.

It was pretty easy to tell Heather wasn't a random fucker though even early on if you played Silent Hill 1 because you see the TV video from the first game's mall, Heather gets told to remember her past life, the nightmare sequence is the carousal from the Cybil boss fight, and the game is littered with the symbols Dhalia told Harry about.

>Look how I dodge machine gun fire like it's nothing.

And I do it without needing to aim, and I'm super fast for some reason so I can do it before any of the dudes fire at me.

And then there's Wesker. In the original RE he had a fitting death, full of hubris, he was killed by his own creation. But no, let's bring him back because he's "cool". Now let's make a story of how he conveniently injected himself with some special snowflake unique virus that was never mentioned or seen again, that somehow gave him superpowers without transforming into a hideous monster.

You should be knifing the scorp anyway, it's really easy to do without taking a hit.

Dropping has pros and cons. If you are full and want to just pick up a key for two minutes, in other games you'd have to backtrack to the box and drop something off first. In 0 you can just drop something immediately, use the key, and pick your stuff back up and keep going.

I like it because it's more realistic and once you've been through the game once isn't a problem. It's good for speed running since there's less backtracking to item boxes overall. I can see why people would hate it though.

I dunno, what was the most absurd part of backtracking for you? I personally forgot fucking completely about Alfred's torture chamber (and Knife killing the Doctor Zombie x.x). That was some shit backtracking.

but what else? with a good route you can go through the military base in one go, and aren't the trips to the Twins' house supposed to be cinematic and suspenseful? (which, yeah, you can argue is what the game went for)

or do you mean just playing through the same areas as Claire and Chris? I think if they did CD1/CD2 better as more separate campaigns the game could have been better. Chris, while having a much better knife, really is just there for a Hunter scare or two.

But RPD is still my favourite.

Pretty much all the running back and forth between areas for one specific item that you would have to take back to the place you just came from, I got stuck quite a few times in RECVX, I played REmake,2 and 3 between now and halloween and never got stuck on any of them, Its like the puzzles flowed much better and made more sense, there was one point in the arctic base where I was just running around trying random things because what I was ment to do next was completely lost on me, I ended up having to lookup a guide I didnt have to do for the others. Also I got lost in the military base right after switching to chris despite having the map, I think that was just because I was tired though, The other thing that annoyed me was when I got that medicine and realised I had to trek back to the beginning of the game.

CVX really lacks a Central Hall like RE/2 to tie your routing together - instead all you get is a few winding corridors connecting areas. I still think that the game is fairly faithful to the series (outside of CVX cutscenes) and the transition to 3D made some gameplay elements more fun.

just the names of the keys? did you forget about all the other crazy shit in the police station?
it bothered me at first, but then you started to find files about the chief and how much of a nut he was.

i played through RE2 recently and couldn't help think about a lot of the minor design choices, maybe because i knew kamiya directed it.
one particular part was where you control ada/sherry and grab the key, i thought about what would happen if i grabbed the ammunition. 'will this be wasted in their inventory if i pick it up, or will they actually give it to leon/claire in the cutscene?' then there's the intertwining A and B stories, leaving the side-pack or machine gun (or both/neither) for the other character, etc.

Thats one of those things devs throw in to screw with you for not knowing the game yet, You first come across them in the first part of the game which is also easy enough to complete without them but youve got no reason to not take them when you first find them, essentially screwing most peoples first playthrough by making the later half of the game unnecessarily harder. I understand penalizing the player for being ignorant about something they should know, But this was a dick move on the devs part, They are essentially punishing you for not looking up a guide before playing the first time.

Few questions here for the thread.

1. Is there any notable fan hacks of the classic games (1-3) that are worth playing? Like a version of RE 1 and 2 that adds the 180 quick turn?

2. Did RE 1.5 ever get finished?

3. Will we ever get games similar to the RE games again besides Remakes? Could be a new franchise for all I care. I just miss this style of gameplay and level design a lot. It could be done so damn good for modern gaming but they are just so damn set on every game having similar systems that everything just fucking blends together which sucks.

[Anonymous No.4390430]

>>4377937
>Well that's an uncommon opinion

No it is not. More people played the original version rather than the remake. Most people that played the remake didn't even play it until it came out a few years ago and even then I say it came out way too damn late. It should have never been a Gamecube exclusive. It should have had a multiplatform release for GC/Xbox/PC/PS2. It would have sold way better had they did that.

There is also a DS version called Deadly Silence which is an enhanced version of another port also for DS. From what I understand it is also the best version of the game. Oh yeah the Saturn version also has exclusive enemies, a mode and it just looks different from the PS1 and all other versions.

>Why are new games so visually uninteresting?

Well firstly most of the kiddies and normies out there want shiny new graphics. They laugh at old graphics such as the RE games would have. There is no way in hell they would touch it or other old games. This is why you see them beg for remakes so often. Sadly even people who grew up with older games want remakes to now and often it is because they want shinier new graphics instead.

Now to answer your question, I think its because developers keep going for as much realism as possible now since clearly that is what people want. Even concept art often reflects this. I think video games in the 90s were also perceived at the time to be much more for kids and adults past a certain age would often find it embarrassing that anyone their age would be into gaming. So games were still more of a kid thing even during the PS1 and even despite marketing. Times have changed this though since many growing up then such as myself are now grown adults that have been gaming this whole time. Atari and other older consoles were a bit different so same can't really necessarily apply to people who grew up with that.

So basically too many people out there don't have an appreciation for simple early 3D models, environments or concept art.

[Anonymous No.4390910]

>>4390526
Just look at the range of colors there, I'm guessing the simplicity of the PS1's graphics (and the fact that a lot of people would have been playing on a tiny CRT) meant that they gave each character their own color to give them a unique visual identity. I wouldn't be surprised if some kid somewhere referred to Chris as 'green guy', Jill as 'blue girl' and Barry as 'red guy', haha. Leon and Claire have a very distinct blue and pink visual identity as well.

I love the design of Jill's questionable shoulder armor and Leon's RPD uniform, they aren't realistic by any means but they're ICONIC. So much better than the generic tactical gear in the later games.

>>4390662
You're right, it's a shame that many people can't appreciate the charm of older graphics, especially with all the nostalgia pandering going on now. I think we reached a point during the PS2 era where characters no longer needed to be designed with hardware limitations in mind. With realism being the end goal, there was no longer a need to be creative.

This anon from an old /vr/ thread summed it up perfectly, I think.
>You see, part of the charm of these illustrations is that they went hand in hand with the game, not that they were what the game looked like. The are an imaginative aid to give a few blocky pixels enough character to let you fill in the blanks in your head. The end result is an experience that borders somewhere between reading a book and watching a movie, a place where your imagination is guided, but you are creating part of the experience yourself. In contrasts, look at all the modern games that leave little to the imagination. Are they as memorable?

I've played Outbreak, Survivor, Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, Gaiden, Operation Raccoon City, and some others I'm forgetting as well but nobody gives a shit about this so I wouldn't bother listing them.

4 is the one survival horror game to actually have scares and good gameplay at the same time so it gets the to spot. RE2 is a way more entertaining and fresh game than RE3 for instance which recycled a lot of the setting. The REmake objectively shits on Director's Cut in every way other than music, though I prefer the cheesy voice acting.

Not him but obviously it is a normie and a negroid combined. Hence the term normgroid.

Hunk is a pretty popular character actually. Many do know about him. Impressive considering he was mostly just an extra character to use in game modes as you put it. He is my favorite character to use in mercenaries mode.

I agree with you on your points for 4 and 2. I still think 4 has been an overrated game in retrospect though. Good game but I put 1-3 and REmake above it. I actually like RE1 better than REmake. If RE1 had some of the elements from REmake I would even vastly prefer it since I like the atmosphere and aesthetics of the original better but the gameplay and certain additions like Crimson Heads, burning zombies and stronger dogs are really great positives for REmake. Either way they are pretty close for me. Just that REmake is different enough that it is sort of a re-imagined version of RE1 in many ways.

RE2 is my favorite because:
>that music

>short but great
>the A and B scenarios for the characters

HUNK is a meme character, and is probably the least obscure character next to the mains of RE1 and 2, as he appeared in the second minigame of 2, 4 Mercs, 6, is referenced many times in Umbrella Corps, showed up in Outbreak and Umbrella Corps, and is advertised as a big deal whenever Capcom gets the chance.
He is far from obscure.

Ah, been a while since I've seen somebody say negroid so no wonder that flew over my head.

RE4 is a very overrated game yes but I've put hundreds of hours into it and grew up on the game with it getting me into survival horror games along with Silent Hill 2 so I couldn't consider it anything but my favourite.

In many ways I like RE1:DC more than REmake (I think some changes were unnecessary and think DC has way more memorable cutscene/voice acting/music) but really the most important thing for me is the scare factor for RE1 which the remake delivered better due to crimson heads for instance.

Yeah RE2 definitely has the most replay value/longevity and best music of the older RE games.

I'd say he's less well known than Ada, Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon, Sherry, Wesker, Barry, Nemesis, the zombies, Rebecca, tyrants, and maybe Krauser. Hunk is far from the first thing on people's minds when they think of RE.

Also the average player of RE2 would never unlock the sole survivor minigame let alone be aware of its existence without a guide. The mercs minigame is unlocked automatically so that's a better example but still doesn't help his case too much. When the fuck was he in RE6? Do you mean Revelations or Mercenaries 3D? Nobody cares about those games or Outbreak and UC.

>Doubt it, as you said HUNK only appears in obscure minigames

When the hell was HUNK in Outbreak? I had a codebreaker as a kid so I used his costume, but canonically he doesn't appear, it's just unused data. Or do you mean his squad members appearing in an intro cutscene? Because I don't remember seeing any proof that one of them was Hunk.

And when I said he only appears in obscure minigames I meant for the games he's in people actually care about. I forgot about the RE2 cutscene where he gets attacked by Birkin but it's pretty late-game.

I liked Gaiden. It was a fun GBC game, and as a side story to CV, it worked perfectly, until they dropped the writer for CV when doing RE4.
>Are you really going to tell me Verdugo, Regenerators, Spiked Regenerators, and Novistadors weren't scary?
They weren't. The Regenerators had a 'wo spook' moment when they showed up, but they quickly get overused and due to checkpoints, they aren't as threatening as classic late game enemies like Hunters or black Lickers.

all of those things except for abundant ammo in some of the games serve the purpose of making the player more tense/freighted, which equates to having more fun. tank controls are not hard to get used to and learning to optimize your movement, weapon usage and inventory is an incredibly satisfying gameplay loop. going for s-ranks in the classics is totally thrilling in an entirely different way than in the post-RE4 action style entries.

Good for you. I can say everything you said is subjective and I'd win the argument, that's not a point.

I'll use an example here. Compare the painting puzzle between RE1 and REmake. The one in REmake can be guessed with no backlash to the player if they get it wrong. Get the puzzle wrong in RE1, you get chased out of the room and have to start over. The puzzle also had actual meaning in RE1.

>The classic RE games are some of my favourite video games of all time

Nah fuck off. You are just saying this to save face for your opinion that the classic RE games have bad gameplay. Common tactic people use. They have amazing gameplay. They wouldn't have gotten so popular if they were awful to play.

The reason people now claim them to be awful is because a significant portion of the fanbase pretty much turned traitor on the older games once RE4 came out. Then you also have the newer fans that came around with the newer RE games and these people don't want to learn to enjoy the older RE games.

This whole thing about old RE games being bad now or having bad gameplay is just a shitty perception by shitty people. RE 4 and 5 actually have tank controls. Retards don't truly understand what tank controls are because those games clearly have it. The difference is the position of the camera is always behind the player. So the problem with old RE games people really had wasn't the tank controls at all but it was actually the fixed camera angles they hated. They just foolishly think its tank controls instead because its a more fun thing for shitters to hate on. Especially since virtually all modern action games do not have tank controls to my knowledge. Probably none do. But RE 4 and 5 absolutely 100% cannot be debated had tank controls.

And to finish out with your shit post, the movement was not stiff (you clearly are implying the moving is bad) and the limited inventory isn't annoying at all unless you are just yet another shitter that prefers modern baby easy video games. The inventory system is supposed to function as a form of difficulty for what would otherwise be an extremely easy game.

Classic RE haters are some of the dumbest shitters around.

I checked out some info on that Directors Cut mod. Its pretty disappointing in all honesty. Its cool someone decided to make it but all what it really has is the uncut cutscenes with the original music. There was a version of RE1 that had dualshock support and the original music anyways. The uncut cutscenes are definitely cool but it isn't really a must to be able to enjoy the games at least for me. You can always just check them out on youtube as well.

Besides this the mod also does have something called deranged mode which from what I gather is pretty much exactly like arranged mode. I guess I was kind of hoping to see some different gameplay options and additions to this mod but that is clearly not the purpose of it.

There are 2 RE modding forums I know of, the first being for the classic games that aren't available on Steam and the second for MT Framework games and games on Steam. The former is a bit disappointing, mostly things like "Play as Leon in RE1", I do believe there is a patch for uncut everything though. The latter is neat, but focuses on the modern games and rereleased ones. They mostly do "Play as Ashley instead of Sherry" stuff though

It's weak to flame rounds. You can run out the front door and exit and it will retain its damage, unlike other REs. Use that to your advantage to "reset" the room if things get too out of hand and so you have a better view point. You can re-target by pressing L1 and can take out the small bats with the handgun and switch back to grenades when you get a clean shot at momma.

It's fucking insane to me that Biohazard 1.5 was 80% complete before Capcom pulled the plug and basically said 'this is shit, re-do it.' That would never happen today, they would have shipped it as-is and that would have been the end of it. I don't doubt that the final version of RE2 was a better, more memorable game overall, but Elza's design was nice enough that I wish they had given her a smaller role in RE3 or something. I guess we can only have one cute girl at a time.

I saw a video that it was supposedly Mikami himself that said to scrap it since he didn't think it was enough of an upgrade from the first game. It was a different time for gaming then so I could actually see that being the case. You are correct about this wouldn't happen these days. Battlefront 3 was another game that was pretty much done yet unlike RE2 it was cancelled instead.

I think had the 1.5 version been what we got it still would have been very loved. It was a more realistic take on a police station. It also seemed to be more action focused than RE2. Probably even RE3 as well. I'm guessing it wouldn't have had much in the way of puzzles. The series never really had clever puzzles anyways though. Its puzzles were more like item re-arranging gameplay than anything actually head scratching. I would like to have seen this version even though I think everything turned out for the better probably anyways.

It had some difficult puzzles like the slider with Ashley, there was a lot of lore interspersed subtly between cutscene and documents such as implications that the Merchant was Luis' uncle, lots of map to explore just full of hidden gems, scares from monsters like Verdugo or the Regenerators, and so on. I mean if people can consider Silent Hill 4 the last true Silent Hill, I think there's enough justification to consider RE4 the last true Resident Evil before the concepts it introduced just got wildly blown up in the later games.

RE7 tried to be a real Resident Evil but it only succeeded in being a real forgettable unscary Texas Chainsaw Massacre wannabe that focused on a shitty normie bait VR gimmick.

Except the map is shown in a linear progression, where as classic RE would have you explore whatever section you want until you reach the end goal of the area.
Also, finding treasures isn't what RE was about
>scares from monsters like Verdugo or the Regenerators
Only the latter has a scare factor and that's only for the first time before they overuse it. Not much to be scared of either, thanks to checkpoints and infinite saves
>I mean if people can consider Silent Hill 4 the last true Silent Hill, I think there's enough justification to consider RE4 the last true Resident Evil
SH4 is still distinctly like the prior games. The only differences are related to health and items. RE4 changes the gameplay, how you play the game, what the series is about (action, rather than survival and exploration), it adds in the ability to purchase weapons and health items, and just doesn't feel like RE.

[Anonymous No.4397123]

>>4397104
What do you mean by true Resident Evil game then? It sounds like you mean it's the last game in the series that was good, rather than the last game to have the core mechanics that the Resident Evil series started with. I hardly consider RE4 part of the same franchise. RE4, RE5, and RE6 are its own things.

[Anonymous No.4397156]

>>4397110
Don't pretend you didn't struggle with the Ashley puzzle. Most of them are easy yes but the same could be said for all of the earlier games, all of them only have a few like the water puzzle that actually stand out.

Doesn't matter if it's linear progression, you go back through areas you've visited previously before and have another chance to recollect items. There's more to interact with than in older games, and older games were also very linear with how sequences played out. You can find items besides treasure in RE4, just like how you find items in the older games. It's more like RE4 is adding things onto a pre-existing system.

Your definition of "scary" depends on when you can save? What the fuck? Do you also not consider movies as a whole scary because you can always just pause or look away? And Verdugo is scarier than the Regenerators, fuck outta here.

The older RE games might as well have infinite saves with how many ink ribbons there are BTW.

Still feels more like Resident Evil than SH4 feels like SH, SH4 feels more like a RE game with the limited inventory, half the game being an escort mission, overuse of blood to be scary, etc. Survival is also a pretty big part of RE4 whether you like it or not. You still need money to buy shit, you don't get handed it for free.

You're reaching and you know it.

Here's the thing, re4 is an excellent action game. one of the best around, even today. but it wholly abandoned what the first 6 REs (and all side games) had done up to that point in order to be totally different.
By design, actually.

See, classic RE wasn't selling amazingly any more, because RE0 sucks eggs and people were sick of ports of the first 3 games. So mikami set out to reinvent resident evil. Look up any and all "making of" stories out there for the game, and it's all layed out for you right there.
They didn't just change the camera position, they changed almost everything. It's a different game, anon.

By 'upgrade' did he mean it wasn't similar enough to RE1? And to think, the survival horror genre could have died a lot sooner when normies realised they prefer SHOOTING zombies to running away from them! Just kidding.

It's kind of odd how they came up with the perfect solution for the knife, which was basically useless (or a chore to use at the very least) by giving it its own shortcut and making it no longer take up space in your inventory, then back-pedalled at the last minute. I guess they wanted to make skilled players feel special for running it and not just turn it into a general mechanic that everyone can make use of. Body armor was a neat concept as well, but I don't know how you balance something like that without making the game too difficult for people who choose not to use it, or too easy for those that do. Ironically, both of those things found their way into RE4 one way or another, though there are one or two early demos of the game that have the knife as an equipable weapon instead, which I think some people would have preferred if only for the novelty. I guess it's human nature to want the things we don't have.

No he meant it was too much like the first game visually at least according to the guy in this video. Although I have read somewhere that Mikami did want it scrapped as well so I'm pretty sure guy in the video is right. Just forward to 11:35 in video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDuZsJDxmrY

I've also read before how Mikami wanted some weird sort of body armor gimmick for the game that people eventually and rightfully told him would have been awful for the game. So I can't agree with you on it being a neat concept. Its a horror game after all. What he seemed to want would be more at home in a Metroid game.

RE1 for the DS also has a knife button. The knife doesn't take up any item slots and it can be used in the same way you use it in RE4.

The theory I heard linking it is that there's a note in the game that mentions Luis being able to get around how he does by using secret passages that his grandfather taught him. The idea is that the merchant is using the same passageways and therefore must be part of Luis' family.

It's purely a fan theory thought up to explain why the merchant is found throughout the game and is in no way implied by anything at any point in the game. It's not even clear if the merchant is one person or many people, since you can kill the merchant in one spot and he'll show up at every other spot in the game but that one.

Went back to playing Nemesis, as I had found it the "hardest" of the old types. Massive enemy spawn, randomised Hunter locations, Nemesis hits here and there. I was toying around with the idea of getting most (if not all) of the epilogue files. Also trying to ween saves down from 5 to 3 (in other words, get an A rank)

With the ammo combinations you can really afford to not use the handgun at all. Really want to try running through the game making the opposite choices as well, and using my Magnum more. (and using CCCs for ammo)

I think the biggest pain for me will be getting Jill's Diary, something I wasn't even aware was in the game until I went snooping. And this is all before diving into Mercenaries..

For me the feeling of blowing a zombie clean in half with the custom shotgun never gets old, but a big part of the reason weapons are so fun to use in classic RE is because of how much of a threat the enemies possess. They can kill you in only a few hits, and ammo is limited, making every kill feel like it means something, which is ironically something that actual shooters fail at.

Even if it has to pull everything out of its ass.

Maybe all the ganados in the game are the same 5 people who constantly fake their deaths because the game has a limited number of enemy models? Maybe SADDLER is working for THEM.
Maybe Leon got steel implants in his legs after RE2, because he's able to drop from massive heights without taking any damage.
Where is the attache case that Leon uses and why wasn't it confiscated when Leon got captured? We never see it at all. It must be INVISIBLE. What else is invisible? Novistadors. So how did the US government get that technology? Leon was set up-- the kidnapping was a government ploy.
In fact, Leon's not even the real Leon. Compare his facial structure and voice between RE2 and 3, it's a different person assuming Leon's identity.

I wouldn’t call the STARS everyday people (this isn’t L4D) but I know what you mean. Despite being a special forces unit, they have little to no idea of how to deal with the situation, which is how Raccoon City got as bad as it did. The first thing you see in RE1 is Chris Redfield screaming at the top of his lungs. You’re absolutely right that in the later games, the characters lost their feeling of vulnerability, and they became less relatable as a result, I think.

I actually completely forgot about that mode you can play. I would imagine it isn't hard at all since REmake gives you more ammo than the original game did. REmake is an easier game than the original.

All what you would need to do is blow off the head of most of the zombies with the shotgun and save other weapons for boss fights. You would still even be able to burn them.

Invisible hunters and dogs would be way more difficult.

[Anonymous No.4410831]

>>4410578
I disagree. To me classic RE is item boxes, limited inventory, puzzles, backtracking to and from item boxes to gather key items to solve those puzzles, and slow paced combat. Rev 1 is a game I liked a lot but it was just RE4 with slightly more maneuverability (so in a way even less like classic RE for that point). You had a buddy companion for most of the ship who wouldn't stop talking to you and the exploration was very limited. You weren't criss-crossing the ship trying to figure out where to go, there was a compass mark pointing you exactly in the right direction iirc and you just followed the hallway to get there, and maybe in a later chapter you'll come back the other way so you can reach the next cutscene.

[Anonymous No.4410847]

People seem to think slower gameplay means classic RE just by itself. It's the same thing when people call a game like Dead Space a survival horror. If all you do in the game is go room to room gunning down hordes of monsters, that's an action game. Take the exact same gameplay and reduce it to 1 or 2 monsters at a time, now it's a survival horror.

As a man who replayed 0 last week and finished CVX just a few hours ago, I will say that 0 was the last good game. Only bad part was the godawful final area and how badly it confuses the canon
But, it makes up for the last bit with this line
>An island that would become the second Raccoon City: Sheena Island
Gun Survivor haters never recovered
>>4415320
Capcom is edging towards the reboot route. At the very least they're going to remake 2, 3, CV and a few others (hopefully the Gun Survivor games get an RE Engine remake, as those would've been perfect if they were made today), and they'll stop before REmake.
Honestly, what I hope Capcom will do is
>remake 2, 3 and CV
>remake the Gun Survivor games
>port Outbreak with online capabilities
>take the RE4HD mod as soon as it's done and put it in every rerelease of the game
>follow-up on Natalia from REv2
But, majority of that won't happen. If I had to choose one thing from that entire list though, it'd have to be the CV remake, as that game has aged horribly

CODE:Veronica, REmake and 0 are mainline titles. Seriously, CV explains Wesker in RE5 (so long as you got the Wesker Report) and follows-up on Claire's search for Chris.

Wesker is the canonical explanation for Ada's escape in 2, how the BSAA found out about Umbrella's last lab and the Spencer Mansion in Umbrella Chronicles, and he's the reason why Alfred's base was attacked in CV. Also, there is a less goofy version of Albert in the original version of CV. Cuts out all the cutscenes with super powers and he gets his ass kicked

Also, there are some good side games like Gun Survivor 1 and 4, as well as the Outbreak games. And the original CODE:Veronica is till good and exists in a bubble where you can say that Wesker survived the stabbing and knew a secret way out, seeing as all his super power cutscenes may as well have not been in the original.

Then that guy is clearly fucking retarded. A reboot is where a new entry in a series overwrites all events up to a point it deems acceptable. REmake isn't a reboot as it still accepts RE2, 3, CV and the spin-offs as canon
A game like SH Shattered Memories is a re-imagining, which takes events from the series and alters them while keeping the whole thing self-contained from the original series.

Saddler probably doesnt care about Ganados dying because the plagas parasites in them have reached maturity - and even though it isnt ideal they can probably feed off the dead carcass and then pop out and continue to survive anyway. So most of those Ganados that leon "killed" he didnt really kill, he would've had to blow them to pieces doom-style or burn them, etc.
> and leon doesnt end up blasting actual parasites but maybe 1/3 of the time, and those ones were stupid enough they had it coming since they popped their head off and decided to try to take him personally

Saddler also explained that the parasites take on many of the personality traits of the host. The arms dealer is indeed a plagas but they've had problems with members betraying them, and in classic arms dealer fashion the AD is definitely betraying them. Even leaves out some spare ammo for Leon when he knows there's a big fight coming and Leon might need it.

In fact its funny that the Ganados arent carrying weapons, they're completely cucked, the Arms Dealer is holding onto all the equipment for Saddler and they're just carrying some ammo so that its not all locked up in stockpiles that could be blasted or stolen.
> That weapons shop just before you reach the first El Gigante, he's got full auto shit in there.

Cue in massive overconfidence too, they dont need guns to kill a lowly intruder. At least Saddler tapped the AD for some RPGs so he could properly test Leon and also get rid of that chopper.

> wanna hear a real juicy theory?
They could have blown Leon's head off at any time, instead Saddler was testing Leon to see how much of a badass he was. Thats why he put the plaga in him in the first place, after he fought his lonesome way past the first village he showed as much promise as the TVirus infected Krauser did. Even at the end Saddler probably thought he could just fuck him up real bad then stick another plaga in him and still have him as his personal supersoldier.

Isao Ōishi was the concept artist for RE1 and 2, though I'm not sure about the one you quoted since the style looks different

I wish they made REmake Barry look more like the concept art from RE1. The Rip Torn look-alike Barry in Revelations 2 was better.

lol think this was up when I finished my CVX knife run, I've beaten RE3 a few times since then too. I like 'em both and they boht provide action aspects. Since CVX "traps" you in a location more then 3 it feels a bit more "Resident Evil-like" but 3 is a perfect action focused old formula game. Still haven't touched Mercenaries, then maybe I'll do invisible zombie REmake.

Good thread, something to come back to. I just miss the itch of running one of these games in a sit-down, great replay-ability, which keeps the game in our memories.

Jill is always best girl, never a debate. Beccy is kawaii~, Ada is aloof but Claire is the only close second with a rump that won't quit! see you then thread.

I like that jacket Rebecca's wearing in the last panel. They were also going to give leon that same jacket.

Jill's rump is better than claire's. But sherry has the best

I guess that’s why it fits smaller on him, haha. Cool detail.

Leon knew what he was protecting.

Honestly, the only characters REmake got right were Jill, Wesker and Rebecca. What I’m guessing is the constant change of art directors has not been good for them.

Early 3D era
>RE1 (mix of 2D art/live actors)
>RE2 (2D art and CG)
>RE3 (completely CG)
>CV (same as above)
High-fidelity era
>REmake (models based on real people)
>RE0
The brown era
>RE4
>RE5 (now with bloom!)
Less brown, but everyone is old and fucked up
>RE6
>REV 1 and 2
I don’t fucking know anymore
>RE7

Is there a name for that thing where a character’s hair is slicked back apart from two loose strands? I feel like it appears in Japanese media a lot

That has to be the most ridiculous gun in the RE universe
