/vr/ - Retro Games

[Anonymous No.5391615]

This game is honestly so boring and tension free compared to re2make. I'm playing through it right now after literally two decades and it's confirmed my suspicion that the remake is far superior. The only things the original re2 has going for it are its own taste of unique atmosphere, the fact that it was the original and the nostalgia factor that comes with that. The ost is also nice but it wouldn't have worked for re2make's world (yes I'm aware of that deluxe edition option but I bet it lessens the experience). Honestly I'm just plain bored playing through re2 and I think I had a somewhat similar feel as a kid. I never played the original re1, but original re2 never gripped me the same way re1make did, and re2make took it to another level. I've never played re3 either but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that re2make is hands down the best resident evil game I've ever played and the original really doesn't hold a candle to it. The horror setting, the richer mechanics, the far more elaborate and detailed world, the far superior crafted survival horror gameplay with a billion times more tension than the original just make re2make head and shoulders better and I don't see how anybody can disagree with this without being a typical contrarian 4chan snowflake or nostalgia tard in denial. I just hope capcom don't drop the ball and deliver again for re3make.

I remember the hype surrounding it as a kid.
I grew up poor and had a SMS until the year 2000, when we got a PC.
Reading my friends manual and seeing hints like "listen to the noise of zombies from around the corner" and things like that seemed so advanced for a game to me. Did it have blood footprints too? I can't remember.
I think that photorealistic, slightly unreal official art of the zombies and magazine covers really made it seem good too.
I played it through when i was 17 on Leon's scenario and watched friends play it before that.

You're right, the remakes are fantastic, Leon feels like he controls like butter in comparison to tank controls. The police station seems quite long, but there seems to be more shortcuts that open up from what I remember? It really doesn't feel like a chore at any rate.

Did RoR have tank controls? I remember it having that stupid shit where if you tried to reverse direction, your character would make a slight forward arc when turning around, and so 99% of the time you'd step right into an enemy's swing.

Just being honest. I've played re1make, re2, code veronica, re4 and re2make. I liked all of these games, most of all re1make and re2make, but I can say that re2make is easily my favourite one. I'll go past that, this game is just a sheer modern masterpiece and probably the best single player game ive played this gen. I cannot understate how much I love this fucking game. It blew me away. I really hope re3make is as good.

Only reason I didn't play the original re1 and 3 is because I didn't have a PlayStation growing up. I saw my friend play through a lot of the first game though.

4channers seem to hate on shit just for the sake of hating on shit. I think a lot of them mistake it for elitism and I also believe they want to be special snowflakes or some shit. Its an absolutely retarded notion. A great game is a great game and it always deserves praise, modern or classic. You don't even see any real criticism in this thread, just buzzwords like "generic" and memeposting. I'll admit I was needlessly harsh on the original re2, it's very good, but this one is next level.

For some reason I never played RE2 myself, but I always clearly remembered everything up to the stars office.
I stopped playing RE after 4 because the game was excellent but the atmosphere went through the window.
Since the hype surrounding the remake, I finally step up my ass and played 2 from start to finish.
I found it really easy compared to every other RE up to 4, even the b scenarios, but never annoying nor handholding.
The puzzles may be toddler tier but the tension is still there, lickers can kill you in a few hits if you understimate them.
The atmosphere was fucking great, the only critic that I have is how you spend only the first few minutes in the town, but you can play 3 for that.
It doesn't take a genius to see how this game was a worlwide success.
The remake maybe is better, but do not shit on this masterpiece you dingus.
Thanks for reading my shitty review.

The remake of RE2 is a great game, and a horror masterpiece, however it is not 100% true to the original (obviously) but still an amazing game. It is legitimately the best RE game released since 2002.

The demake of RE2 is all around downgrade from the original, lacking tons of content and introducing next to none to compensate.
The whole puzzler-adventure style is replaced entirely with way more streamlined run&gun gameplay that appeals to the casual zoomer audiences.
It really is nothing more than another Dead Space / TEW clone, but praised to heavens because of its namesake. Without the IP, it would be yet another forgotten 3rd person action game of 2010s.

Finally, Dead Aim and Outbreak 1-2 came out between 2003-2004, and were far, far superior than this piece of shit butchering of a classic Resident Evil.

[Anonymous No.5396113]

>>5393105
>but his opinion about the classics is indeed garbage.
Why? Because I chose RE4 over the original RE2? RE4 is a fun enough action game, meanwhile the original RE2 is a game that fails to be a good survivor horror game. Again there is no tension in the original RE2 whatsoever. The inventory management is a complete non-issue, the threat from enemies is non-existent and you are given far too much ammo for survival horror. It's also too linear and easy to navigate for survival horror; there's never a question of what root I should take as there is no threat from enemies or supply restraints to be found. RE2 feels like Resident Evil lite (and its remake improves upon EVERY SINGLE ONE of the mentioned factors btw). RE4 might not be a "real" Resident Evil game in the classic sense, but it executes what it's trying to do better than RE2 tries to be a survival horror game. Obviously if you look at RE4 purely from a survival horror perspective you won't like it, but just as a game rated on its own merits I find it to be far more enjoyable than the first RE2.

I don’t know if I’d strictly describe the original RE2 as survival horror. Capcom clearly wanted to take the series in a more blockbuster summer action movie direction pretty early on. RE2 is sort of the Aliens to RE1’s Alien.

>>5395864
>The demake of RE2 is all around downgrade from the original, lacking tons of content and introducing next to none to compensate.
Uh, no. Every area in RE2make is much larger, more non-linear and complex than the original. There is far more stuff to do. Boohoo you don't have your stupid useless moth anymore, big fucking deal. The police station, sewers and lab are objectively far more elaborate. There is actual root planning, you have to worry about inventory management and enemies are far more threatening. See my post here >>5396113.

We would have actually had a "demake" if we went from RE2make's world to RE2.

>The whole puzzler-adventure style is replaced entirely with way more streamlined run&gun gameplay
What "puzzles" did the original RE2 have? That one retarded move a couple of pillars in the library? One energy switch "puzzle"? Light the three stupid King/Queen/Jack statues in obvious order? Woah! If anything the original's shooting is far more streamlined than the new one. It might as well be an on-rails shooter with retarded mechanics. Literally hold R1 and press X in the general direction of zombies and blast away. Or hold up with your shotgun in hand and get 4 headshots at once, wowie! In the remake you have to wait to get reticle accuracy and actually time/aim your shots. Zombies generally take much more ammo to die and it's less obvious when they're dead since there's no blood pool. I bet you're some sub-IQ monkey that thinks tank controls are in any way difficult so you pat yourself on the back for barely being able to stumble through the piss that was RE2. There is ZERO threat in RE2. There's also ammo out the ass and you get enough herbs to start a fucking rainforest in your ammo box.

>It really is nothing more than another Dead Space / TEW clone

I completely agree with you. RE2 can be described as a poor action game as well as a poor survival horror game.

[Anonymous No.5396965]

>>5395864
>The whole puzzler-adventure style
RE2make's puzzles:
>Circuit boards, generator switches, the clocktower gears, hidden areas, getting the Queen/King pieces segment, the king/queen/rook etc plug segment, the herb synthesis, sherry's block puzzle, those portable safe coded things, leon's desk, some of locker codes aren't just given to you but deduced by looking at a random chalkboard, or seeing random letters circled on a random flyer lying around.
I'm sure there's shit I'm forgetting there. Even though these are hardly trifling (why would they be, it's a fucking video game), I really can't think of any puzzles the original RE2 had that were harder. All I can remember is the column section in RE2 library, lighting the king/queen/jack statues, one electric power switch, pushing the boxes to make a bridge in the sewers, pushing a couple of statues to make the red gem fall. If anything, the original has less puzzles and they're not even as complicated lol.

But that's complete bullshit. The progression of the game is literally exactly the same: you attain the key items needed to access more areas of the map and progress forward. Only difference is the mechanics are much richer now than they were in the original and you have an OTS view. Only a monkey found viewpoint tank controls difficult (aka you).

>Run around and gun down bullet sponge enemies, because exploration and worldbuilding is apparently for pussy boomers.
No, I meant there is far more stuff to do in regard to actually progressing through the game, by attaining the key items needed to progress. Nice bullshit strawman post though.

>The ENTIRE GAME.
SO IS RE2MAKE. The progression of the game is LITERALLY EXACTLY THE SAME, it just comes with RICHER GAMEPLAY MECHANICS TOO. And you need to get MORE ITEMS and there are FAR MORE ROOMS/AREAS TO ACCESS/KEY ITEMS TO OBTAIN than the original WITH A GREATER COMPLEXITY OF WORLD DESIGN. IT IS A BIGGER, MORE COMPLEX AND MORE NON-LINEAR GAME YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING IMBECILE. The ORIGINAL POLICE STATION for example is PEA-SIZE compared to RE2make's station.

>yes, because RE is now a sohoter.
RE2 had shooting mechanics and they were piss. When you try to downplay RE2make's shooting, while defending the original, you look extra fucking stupid. RE2make's survival horror gameplay has only been ENHANCED by the shooting mechanics they've created in RE2make. And yes, technically RE2 was always a third person shooter, it was just a lot DUMBER in the original.

>I was around 10 when the ORIGINAL Resident Evil dropped on PS1
Same here you ugly worthless balding fuck. Difference is I'm still incredibly handsome and you still live in your mom's basement.
