RE2 has the creepiest environments and monster designs. RE2 also has a very good jump scare (the door in the police station that displays the normal door animation, except zombies come through the door).
RE3 is less scary, but creates more tension and stress.
But the scariest RE game is not /vr/

Mr. X is a poor man's Nemesis.

[Anonymous No.5004839]

None they're not suppose to be scary games, they're open level action adventure games with limited resources to create tension. The horror aspect is purely in iconography.

Aside from that RE2 definitely has more "horror" aesthetics in taking inspiration from cheesy Japanese gore flicks of the 80s with body horror mutations and a classic pulled into vent and gore sprays out of it

Opposite way around fool. Everything Mr. X does is better than Nem, all Nem does is teleport in when the camera isn't looking at a door.

Not only that but Nem is pathetic in his boss battles running around and having to use a bazooka because he's so weak. And he's even worse in the final battle he's just a worm rolling around doing nothing whereas the Chad X is unarmed and walks everywhere, his footsteps are more intimidating than Nem. And then at the end when X should be dead he bursts out of molten lava unhurt like the Chad X he is and is ready to fuck

The biggest inspiration for the body mutations and monsters in RE2 is John Carpenter's The Thing, a movie which the RE series continued to emulate well into RE5.

Honestly? REmake

>>5005436
>>5004918
I don't get a Thing vibe from anything in 1-3. The point of The Thing is that it copied the DNA of its host and tried to blend in as that creature, but rapidly exposes itself when in danger. There's nothing that resembles it in any RE until 4, where getting headshots on a normal-looking villager will cause a plagas to come out of the wound and attack, and bosses will quickly mutate from a normal human form into their true plagas form to fight you.

Pic even looks like those spidery plagas you see in the castle. Detaches from the cultist's head, breaks loose, and attacks you with its spider legs.

Nemesis was less scary than Mr. X. Since Nemesis appears more than Mr. X, the novelty quickly wears off.

Though I will state that Nemesis bursting into the police station was a top 10 kino gaming moment.

[Anonymous No.5005754]

>>5005745
For at least the first playthrough, Nemesis stays scary throughout because you don't know when he's going to show up, you usually have to make a split second decision of how to react to him, and the music is intense. Mr. X is just too damn slow and easy to deal with.

[Anonymous No.5005768]

RE 7 legitimately scared me first playthrough

[Anonymous No.5006039]

Nemesis was scary but RE3 also had its fair share of jump scares, like turbo zombies bursting out of car doors. I think re2 and 3 are about equal quality wise, but re2 was always the one I went to as a break from the nemesis tension. In most resident evil games as long as you had a shotgun in your hands you were relatively safe, but nemesis shits all over that, even simple backtracking gave me the chills. Making it to the park is such a relief because he only appears as a boss after that point.

[Anonymous No.5006060]

>>5005436
I don't have a source, I'm just basing it on the design of the monsters, but
>>5005743
Resident Evil 4 and 5 certainly take inspiration from the scenes of The Thing where the monster reveals itself in partially human form, especially as you pointed out, with the design of Las Plagas. However, I think William Birkin's and Nemesis final forms are much more reminiscent of the less human form The Thing takes. Both Birkin and Nemesis become a mass of meat, teeth, eyes, wriggling tentacles, and can spray a harmful liquid. All of these elements appear in the dog-Thing, and similarly it has to be destroyed with heavy weapons (a flamethrower, in the case of The Thing).
Although, I mainly meant the inspiration from The Thing was represented in the appearance of the monsters, not how they propagate and behave.

The only aesthetic similarity I can see is the skinless look of a lot of the RE2 monsters, but that's general 80s movie gore. I don't think it was that Thing-inspired. Maybe the tentacles... but then again, it's a Japanese game.

The one you played when you were 12.

[Anonymous No.5006134]

>>5004785
I love this moment because of the way it's designed to catch you out. Unlike other jumpscares where something suddenly appears (EG dogs through the windows) they build you up to it. Firstly, he appears during the lamp puzzle in scenario B which is already a surprise becuase you did the same in scenario A and nothing happened. But then as in any other Mr. X encounter you can just leave the room and you'e safe. Of course, as you move through the corridor you might be apprehensive he could come through the fresh hole in the wall, but you pass it and he doesn't, so you feel safe - THAT'S when he opens another fucking hole right in front of you.

Classic RE has several moments like this, where they mess with your expectations. >>5004781 mentions another; you learn that the door opening animations are 'safe' loading screens, so they create a fake one to catch you out.
There's also the interrogation room which is set up brilliantly too.

I'm listing RE2 ones because I replayed it recently so it's fresh in memory, but I'm sure 1 and 3 have their fair share.
And then there's REmake which specifically uses your knowledge of the original RE1 against you.

I always thought they shouldn't have shown you the cutscene of Mr. X being dropped into the police station - imagine how unnerving it would be to be running through what you expect to be a simple corridor (it only has crows first time round) and some huge trenchcoated guy suddenly comes marching round the corner and starts swinging at you.

If you HAVE to show the cutscene make it a flashback, like the Birkin one. I just think making you fight Mr. X completely out of the blue would be scarier, with a cutscene beforehand you know to expect him and you get an expectation that he'll be a big deal.

Re1/REmake purely from a gameplay standpoint, however I think the atmosphere in the city in 3 is way more unnerving. Something about cities completely demolished by apocalyptic events just gets me. I guess it must be that it's the most relatable out of the horror scenarios.

I always found Mr. X way more frightening, with nemesis I always expect him to eventually turn up and he is on the cover and the title screen so it isn't that big of a surprise when you eventually do meet him. But Mr. X came completely out of nowhere when I first played 2 and spooked the absolute shit out of me when he continued to húnt my ass through the rooms.

i noticed playing re2 scenario B that basically, the first one was designed to be a regular experience, while the sceneario B had tons of moments that made me shit my pants. Tons of jumpscares that you never expected that sceneario A didn't have. Reasons are obvious, to keep things fresh.

I remember Mr X in general, zombies bursting into the hallway in places you didn't expect, same with lickers, and others scares.

Yeah, very disappointing with how REmake 2 is looking. It's an embodiment of everything I dislike about modern games. RE4 was my first RE, so I know it's not nostalgia speaking when I say this, but not having fixed camera angles ruined the whole thing for me. I don't know why capcom was so scared of releasing a classic-style game when REmake HD sold a shit ton of copies for a mere re-release.

[Anonymous No.5011956]

Capcom is probably trying to sell the game to people that didn't play the original. REmake was released, a mere six years after the original, meaning that the chances that people who were fans of the original would play the remake were high. There was a lot of overlap between original RE fans and people who wanted to play the remake.
It's been twenty years since RE2. The overlap between people who played the originals and current gamers is gonna be much smaller than it was in 2002. From a financial standpoint Capcom wants to sell their game to as many people as possible.
I understand why they did it, but I certainly do not like it. I just wanted REmake 2.

I figured this would be the right place to ask this question. Do you think the Dual Shock version of Resident Evil 2 is worth picking up? I already own the original release and the N64 version. I know the difference between the two, but I am mainly interesting in the extreme battle mode. I swear to God, Crapcom made too many different versions of the game to sucker people out of money (like they do with all of their franchises). I also thought the price might go up on all RE games, once RE2 comes out. Might as well snag it now, if it's worth a buy.

>I always figured RE1-3 would be cheap as hell since they're so goddamn common but oh well

Ditto, but you never know. I am sure the price won't rise too high and the "hyped" will die out soon if it happens at all.

I have been looking on ebay for an hour now, and there are zero reasonably priced RE 2 Dual Shock versions. What the fuck happened? People are trying to get 100 dollars for RE 2 and RE1! I am sort of blown away. There is also a mess if you are trying to look for the Dual Shock version, because more often than not, it's the original version. I think I might just be happy with the two versions I own already. I already own 4 versions of RE1 and don't want it to turn into something like that. There are just too many small versions of RE - RE 3 that have such small changes.
