Does REmake invalidates Resident Evil?

Yes.

The real question is: GC or HD?

GC if using properly setup, some areas get kinda fucked with the filters on HD.

No. REmake is considerably easier .

This anon makes some valid points although I don't agree with them all like his opinion on the weapon's sounding shitty. He also left some others out like how the mansion isn't as colorful as the original, which I thought fit the whole atmosphere of the original game very well. The remake mansion is more like a stereotypical spooky mansion and it actually clashes with the logic of the game such as candles still being lit months after they all turned zombie. I also agree with the Lisa thing. She would make more sense in RE 4 or 5. Not the first game. Its also needless filler imo like I've seen mentioned before. Lastly, they should have included shit from the Saturn version like those Tic enemies that replace Hunters and expanded them into something more unique.

Overall the game is still great though and I'd probably put it equal with the original or maybe favor remake a bit more simply because I think it plays better than the PS1 original and has other neat things like the crimson guys.

No, course not. They do things differently.

>>6321359
>critical headshots with a handgun make the initial hour of the game easy as hell
It's random, though. I'm sure there's some way to safely try for headshots without chewing through ammo, but I never found it. Found REmake much harder than the OG.

Not that either is particularly hard after you've scraped the ammo/fuel to clear out those like 3 hallways you need to travel through more than once without being able to safely avoid enemies.

[Anonymous No.6323826]

>>6321208
Not at all.
They compliment each other, and provide surprisingly different experience.
REmake benefits from playing RE1 a fuck ton.

Some backgrounds on HD look awful. Either play on GC through S-video as to not sell a kidney for the component cables, or just on a Wii through component.

Resident Evil 1 remake is bettet than the original.
Resident evil 2 and remake are two different games and you can like one or the other or both
Resident evil 3 remake is shit and is better to play the original.

[Anonymous No.6325323]

What's the best way to play original nonremake RE1 these days? I feel like replaying it after Im done with R3MAKE. I didn't find any seamless hd or anything like those ai upscale patches for 2,3 and CV. Is there a sourcenext version for 1? And possibly a translation/fix patcfh?

[Anonymous No.6325390]

>>6321208
No, and as someone who likes both games I hate it when people say this. REmake is a love letter to those who played RE1. They are practically two different games.

One of which isn't retro.

[Anonymous No.6325408]

This game has invalidated the whole resident evil franchise even before its conception.

[Anonymous No.6325753]

>>6325408
It was good.
The puzzles kinda blow though, and the sequels were nothing but puzzles. Putting on santa costumes to distract lethal midgets detracts from the atmosphere a bit.

[Anonymous No.6325759]

That's idiotic. The original is still great and that alone justifies it. Trying to say that a remake invalidates an original is some millennial bullshit spouted by people who want to claim they're fans without being one

This is a terrible point desu. It's about not wasting your time by making you re-tread previous rooms for pointless items. How the hell could you think this makes exploration moot and/or pointless? Are you pulling out the map every single room?

Hard disagree this one but I understand your points.
>critical headshots with a handgun make the initial hour of the game easy as hell (OG RE didnt have this, it was only added with directors cut)
I never noticed.
>defensive items that are get out of jail free cards basically
I guess it makes more sense to include them? There are a few times it can be a crutch but if I were in that situation I would use every tool at my disposal to keep a zombie from taking a bite out of me. Its just more item management.
>weapons sound like shit and have less oomph than predecessors in the series, RE2/RE3 weapons are far more fun to shoot
You're right on with this one. RE2 Weapon feel and sound is GOAT
>map now shows you when you didn't pick everything up in a room, making exploration moot and pointless
I suppose I should go back to using poloroids and graph paper then?
>return to mansion after the shed is less scary
Thats what the crimson heads are for. I guess you're too good at the game
>lisa trevor is a gimmick and was more effective as a piece of lore alone

>I never noticed.
Well, go and play the original RE1 (non-directors cut) and you notice how much of a struggle the initial chunk of the game is.

>Its just more item management.
Defensive items don't take regular inventory space, you can have an endless amount of them, what are you on about?

>How so? Do you prefer RE5?
Both OG RE1, RE2 EX battle mode and Code Veronica had superior Chris models. In REmake Chris looks like the main character from American Pie.

I meant you have to use them strategically.

Veronica is the best but remake is fine and still leageus better than a textured rectangle

>critical headshots with a handgun make the initial hour of the game easy as hell (OG RE didnt have this, it was only added with directors cut)
That adds depth since it is a high risk high reward option for the handgun, you can kill a zombie with less bullets but if RNG is not on your side you will take damage.
>defensive items that are get out of jail free cards basically
It's a limited item so no biggie
>weapons sound like shit and have less oomph than predecessors in the series, RE2/RE3 weapons are far more fun to shoot
Agree with this but not that much of a big deal again, certainly not something that's gonna make one game superior to the other.
>map now shows you when you didn't pick everything up in a room, making exploration moot and pointless
That doesn't make exploration pointless, that just removes having to go through each room spamming the action button at every inch of every room when you get stuck.
>return to mansion after the shed is less scary
I can't see how, if anything having enemies that enter rooms unexpectedly more often makes this better in the remake
>lisa trevor is a gimmick and was more effective as a piece of lore alone
I disagree pretty hard with this. Lisa's subplot is great at adding more of the actual human tragedy behind Umbrella's projects and helps to pace the game better by having something more happening in moments where you didn't have anything going on in the plot of the original.
>Chris design is garbage
He always looked bland as fuck in the early games.

[Anonymous No.6328528]

>>6321359
>REmake is easier
In the original, you have enough ammo to kill everything at least twice over. You don't have any clue what you're talking about.

Ok, the map thing was fucking dumb. The other stuff are just quality of life improvements.

(The Lisa stuff is really dumb, I agree)

[Anonymous No.6331264]

>>6321208
Two things make the REmake great for me. And that is the 90° and the 180° degree turns. The older games always had that issue with being able to turn around and fight enemies especially the bats or dogs that easily can fuck with you because of how quick they are. Tank controls as well but then again its up to the user. Because older audiences were use to this and liked it but some of the younger found it off putting in the older games.

A lot of this is pointless gripes. Except Lisa and Weapon sounds. I mean not many explored maps to begin with and usually just played games to completion. It's no different today than it was back then.

It's been years since I played REmake so I might be forgetting things but:
>the completely overdone guardhouse
I remember it being really similar to the original guardhouse, aside from the tweaks in the bar area and the shark tank being structured completely differently. Now I remember the courtyard being way more fleshed out and bigger with Lisa Trevor's house
>the lackluster return to the mansion
What exactly made it lackluster? You have Crimson heads and Hunters. The original RE just had the Hunters, which had a pretty cool intro but I don't remember them being more or less prevalent.
>caves
What was wrong with the caves? The original RE had caves to, although the REmake threw that one section with Lisa Trevor at you which I remember being pretty tense.

>I remember it being really similar to the original guardhouse, aside from the tweaks in the bar area and the shark tank being structured completely differently. Now I remember the courtyard being way more fleshed out and bigger with Lisa Trevor's house
They actively made the guardhouse to look more ghastly and unlived in to be like the mansion, but the issue with that is that the Guardhouse is where people actually lived.
The Aqua Ring was also way too over the top.
>What exactly made it lackluster? You have Crimson heads and Hunters.
I've never had crimson heads in the REmake at that point, but the reason it's lackluster is because they completely gutted what was once a highlight, that being the library, and its replacement is now just a block pushing puzzle where you get one file. It ruins the whole thing, they just completely dropped the ball.
>What was wrong with the caves?
What they added wasn't substantial. The one puzzle was nice, but the added block pushing was just dull. Lisa would've been good had her path not been predictable as hell.
