[Anonymous No.637946]

The first time I ever saw a Resident Evil game, I was staying at my cousin's house. He just bought the first game and we played it for a few hours. Then we went to bed, and me being 7 years old at the time, I was shitting myself in fear. Laying on his couch in a completely pitch black room, completely motionless, scared out of my fucking mind, just waiting to hear a muffled groan and feet shuffling down the hallway. Playing it now it's kind of funny, what with the bad voice acting and all that. But I will never forget that night, and RE will always have a place in my heart.

The first RE zombie scene scared the shit out of me, with his pale face and lack of hair. I remember I turned off my PS1 and didn't play it again until 1 month later

I had a friend who literally pissed himself in that RE3 scene where Nemesis jumps through the police department window.

[Anonymous No.638103]

>>637807

> That ambiance

I remember when first nabbing the shotgun, going on a complete killing spree with it. Grouping the zombies as closely as they could fit, and then simultaneously blowing their heads off in that gory showery mess, so satisfying.

Saving ammo wasn't too much of a problem either, and by late game it was pretty much how the picture describes it.

Not even the most hardcore classic RE purist can deny the awesomeness that is the remake. It stayed true to the original, made it harder and added the George Trevor sub-plot.

It holds up graphically to this day, same with atmosphere (not something I can say of the classic REs, they're simply too dated at this point). It's state of the art when it comes to video game remakes.

The only thing I miss from the classic REs is the mansion theme.

I think the undertone for RE3 was actually the introduction of the umbrella mercenaries and their objectives in Raccoon city, specifically Nikolai's. while the main theme was Jill's escape, it introduced alot of the key aspects in the umbrella conspiracy, everything ties in with everything, one way or another.
In this regard re3 has a connection with OP Rac city (though the idea of a mercenaries aspect of the plot was great, they TOTALLY fucked it up)

Yeah, RE3's plot is like RE1. You gotta find a way to escape and at the same time there is this bad guy who at first is like a friend and who's in fact sided with Umbrella.

But RE3 changes completely the feel of the series. Instead of being in constant backtracking in a claustrophobic mansion, you go through something more linear and outdoor. It feels like there is more progression and it feels like the whole world is fucked up.

RE3 is also a LOT more action based. More enemies but also more ammo and weapons, tons of explosions everywhere; sometimes non necessary ones (I mean, when you jump out of the window of the press office, the damn window EXPLODES. What the fuck.)

- it's filled with badly made John Woo like action. Not only it is badly made but it feels completly out of place.
-lack of music in most places.
-terrible graphics: they moved to a 3D engine and that made them lazy: the game lacks details! Remember all the details EVERYWHERE that made RE2 and 3 look so cool? Nothing here!
-terrible art direction that doesn't even vehiculate horror or terror
- fails to scare even during cheap scares
- stiff animations for the characters: zombies are more smooth

True. IMO, another fault they've introduced considering that Ada and Leon suddenly epitomized acrobatic bad ass-ery in RE4.

>-terrible graphics: they moved to a 3D engine and that made them lazy: the game lacks details! Remember all the details EVERYWHERE that made RE2 and 3 look so cool? Nothing here!

They weren't that bad (dat mansion replica), but it was a pretty lazy move. Seems they decided higher res'd objects and backgrounds at 60fps was enough.

>-the 3D camera angles add nothing to it, and don't make it better because it's 3D. Check a game like Dino Crisis with 3D cameras done right.

Development on CV began in '98 didn't it? Which is why none of the combat changes from RE3 made it. Much less the camera tweaks from Dino Crisis.

Then again, Capcom was adamant to improve the fucken camera angles even in '02 (see: Onimusha 1 and 2).

Pick one, seriously.
I like to think RE6 had the tightest controls of the entire series due to how fluid they were in relation to the rest of the game. Side rolls, leaping backwards and counters really help with that desperate atmosphere that originated from the earlier games, and Mercs is all about 'Risk vs Reward' gameplay which the controls emphasized.

Still, I wish they kept semi-fixed camera angles that were in the first version of RE4, and go over the shoulder when aiming. I would've loved to have seen that game made. While RE4 wasn't necessarily a bad game by any measure, it change the conventions forever which means they can never really go back to the slow paced survival horror.

Correct me if I'm wrong since I just used google to help sort this out. But that screenshot is from Operation Raccoon City which takes place around the same time as Resident Evil 2/3. Jill was born in 1974 and RE2 takes place two months after RE1 so about September 1998. So in that picture, Jill is about 24.

Oh. I assumed it was from RE6 Mercenaries or something due to the post. I remember reading that Chris was like in his mid-thirties in RE5, so that's why I made that inference. In that game Jill did look older, but then again her entire look was different so I didn't really know what to think.

No, because both are valid.

The controls, especially the push-to-go controls were clunky and often caused your character to go in a different direction before they moved in the direction you were pressing, every button combination did something, which led to a lot of misinputs, and the cover system was a fucking mess.

That being said, the new movement options were a welcome addition.

Anyone else disappointed that they killed Nicholai at the end of 3? I found him to be a cool villain that could do some interesting stuff in the future, since I always assumed that the canon ending was the one where he escaped the city. But lol nope, the true one is the one where he is killed by Nemesis and ends up hanging from an air duct.

Agreed on the cover system and the convoluted button inputs, but my point was that they were the best example of RE's third shooter controls yet. Not necessarily the perfect one, but 4 and 5's controls were never going to go anywhere in terms of gameplay. I'd prefer a refined version of 6's controls over anything else, even revelations. Something just doesn't feel right about charge up melees.

they did add a new "Rebirth" mode with added first person knife battles and extra changes. worth a play through tho nothing amazing.

tho the have a classic mode too with some very nice tweaks. skippable door load screen, 180% quick turn, knife does not take up an inventory slot and it on you at all times ( L button ) new character models. smoother gameplay. bottom screen displays health and ammo aswel as the map. Over all they made playing the game much faster paced. the DS dpad works great too with the tank controls.

Some of the backgrounds are alittle washed out which is a shame tho the port itself is fantastic. worth grabbing if your a resi fan.

Oh also has local Co-op too.

[NESfag No.658283]

The rebirth mode include item placement changes which means going through the game in yet another order (there is the original order, the director's cut order, the remake order, and the DS rebirth order)

>new character models
also new enemy models including new AI especially for Zombies who are smarter and harder to dodge/avoid. It's pretty neat, the game is more challenging than the original in terms of enemies but it makes up for that with smoother controls and the abilitly to use the knife at any moment à-la-RE4.

>the DS dpad works great too with the tank controls.
Personally I didn't like the d-pad. I bought the game but I had more fun playing it through emulation while using a PS2 pad.

>Oh also has local Co-op too
I wish I had friends to play this game with...

[NESfag No.658293]

Forgot to say, I actually don't like the forced first person knife battles in the rebirth mode of the DS version. Not only they don't make sense (why would you stop to fight with the knife when you have ammo, and it's also contradictory with the original gameplay's tendency to prefer running and avoiding enemies in some cases), but in itself it's not fun because too basic and repetitive.

the new "puzzles" including the touchscreen are okay. they're cool for the novelty, but in themselves they don't make you think much, it's just touchscreen minigames.

I´d say RE3 lacked a real Normal Mode. Didn´t have a single problem on hard mode before the Nemesis fight at the clock tower. Tried it about 75 times before I quit. My equipment just wasn´t enough. Started again on easy and he was a pushover.

[NESfag No.658395]

>>658362
yeah that's the most difficult part of the game right there. You're provided with quite a few herbs and powders/ammo before it though.

but when I did my knife only run it took me FOREVER to beat him at the clock tower. everything else was relatively easy though.

[NESfag No.658665]

>>658530
Because when you've played the game a hundred times AND it lacks a proper hard mode, and still want to replay it because it's damn fun, you get kinda bored with normal challenges.

But I did it in the jap version on easy, where Nemesis has even less health than in the easy mode of the US/PAL version. It was still a pain though. I did it with saves too obviously. (However I beat RE1 knife only with no saves, and I know/watched somebody who beat RE2 Leon A knife only with no save, the alligator fight was damn tough!)

there are some fun moments though
at 41mins : killing the plant with the knife
at 48mins : killing the snake with the knife (this one's a little boring, I'm basically just tanking)
at 53min:30 : showing a glitchy spot I found in the game where you can hit the spiders but they can't hit you(they hit me once though lol)
at around 58min : showing off another funny "safe spot glitch" I found out
at 1h04 : getting my life saved because I was crouching to grab an item RIGHT when the Hunter would have decapitated me; the crouching made him jump over me
1h:06 : a must see, another trick I found out : against the spider boss, instead of killing her, I'm baiting her so that her spit takes down the web blocking the door
1h22 : Tyrant fight. With knife only suddenly he becomes a real boss.

The first Windows PC we had didn't have a graphics card, so I couldn't actually play RE when I bought it. I ended up messing with the audio and video files a lot.
