I don't like 3 at all. Just the premise of being chased by Nemesis makes me uncomfortable, which is exactly the point, but I don't like it.

2 is okay but REmake will always be the superior of the fixed camera games.

REmake > 2 > 1 > 3

I don't think I ever actually even finished 3, just got bored with it or something.

You could say that back when 4 first came out, and you'd be objectively wrong, but it would be somewhat compelling if you claimed that 4 was probably going one-off. But it wasn't. Just for fun, let's break this down.
>core titles = 1/2/3/4/5/6/7
We can neatly divvy these up as:
>Fixed Camera Survival Horror
1/2
>Fixed Camera Action Horror
3
>Third Person Action Horror
4/5/6
>First Person Survival Horror
7

So just with the core titles alone, the majority don't follow the traditional AiTD formula, thus that clearly no longer defines the series. You're welcome, no need to thank me :)

RE2 is the total package. Gameplay, replayability, story and design. RE3 has somewhat more refined controls, like the intro of the 180 turn, but overall feels very much like a side story to keep players busy until CV comes out. As classic as the original is, its very dated compared to its sequels.

>>5809975
Can you even choose campaigns? I just did what the game gave me, but I refunded it because they plastered ketchup all over the screen the second you take damage and it stays there until you use a green herb. Like hell I'm paying $20 to have my first play experience ruined by red smears all over the place. FPS sure, I understand, but in a survival horror where you are supposed to conserve herbs and NOT use them until you desperately need to? Fuck off with that, RE7 is guilty of the same thing.

But this is wrong.
RE4/5/6 are action games through and through. You can and have to play them like action games.
You can not play REmake2 like an action game. I mean, you can, for a little while or in short bursts. Feel real good about it too, just like when you got to do it in older RE titles. But that is not a sustainable gameplay style. Like, at all.

The only thing I agree with is some random anon ranking games always makes for a shit thread

[Anonymous No.5810694]

It always bugged me that you finally get to explore Raccoon City proper and it's still just a series of weirdly connecting hallways like any of the other games, anyway. Always keeps me from getting into it. Also, it's really obvious the whole "flight or fight," "save ammo" shtick of the series was totally improvised out of the way people perceived being able to exploit really bad enemy pathing, like "uhhh yeah we totally did that on purpose, yes that IS the real meat of these games." RE1 and 2 you can blow everything straight to hell and suffer no long-term penalty, RE3 actively encourages you to dump all your ammo fighting this one thing that constantly pops up and even boxes you into corners where you have literally no choice or else take damage getting past him. I love the games--don't get me wrong--but it's kind of funny knowing so many people argue about the games based on this sole aspect, when it was obviously an accident.

[Anonymous No.5810798]

>>5810694
>an accident

Yeah because developers don't have testers. There aren't many games where you struggle until the end. The joy of these classic RE games is actually the illusion* of struggle. If you are lucky and don't fuck up too badly in the initial hour of the game then you have just enough ammo to deal with everything. On the blind run (which is most important anyway) you feel capable to handle any immediate threats and situations but still know and feel the urge to not be wasteful because of other shit down the line. Having zero items and trial and erroring your way through games is not fun nor challenging, it's tedious and a chore. There is a fine line between the two and finding the right balance is what old RE games do very, very well.

It's not developers fault that you replayed these games to autismal degree and can finish them blindfolded now without any challenge.

[Anonymous No.5811091]

>>5810428
I wonder how they will handle Nemesis. Mr. X is easy enough to handle given how REmake 2 controls, but I can't really imagine fighting Nemesis with REmake 2 controls. They might need to add a dodge function (again) and possibly some kind of stealth system. Either way, I'm stoked for REmake 3.

You mean "Boo: Haunted House!" where the whole game is just walking into scripted sequence after scripted sequence and fighting the amorphous black blob enemies that spawn right behind you every time you pick something up because the devs didn't know how to design a map otherwise?

Real answer is that it's a jap who YET AGAIN can't be bothered to do simple research on the items they're going to display in their games.

If you get shot in the chest, armor or not doesn't matter, you're staying down. Shot in the shoulder, you can still fire back a few shots.

[Anonymous No.5814345]

>>5813832
Actually, early concept and even testing of RE2 Remake incorporated the fixed camera. The game had a very liberal development process where virtually every idea someone had got implemented into the game in some form so they could have a fully accurate view on how it would work, and decide whether to use it from there. They were going to put in a toggle, but so much of how they balanced the combat revolved around making sure OTS worked perfectly well, so they ended up nixing the fixed camera altogether. They talk about it in the developer interview series they put up on Youtube.
