0 is often considered the weakest of the mainline Resident Evil games - its story is a soft retcon (tbf the entire franchise was being retconned at the time) and the partner gimmick was looked down on.

I, personally like the story and the characters. The gameplay and puzzles are both great and, with one exception I like most of the enemies in the game.

I thought it was neat, a little bogged down by slow systems like the way items had to be managed, but they did types of puzzles that RE games don't often get to. Partner movement and combat wasn't horrific to me, they gave you a way to control them simultaneously so I did.

6's good parts are better than all of 5 honestly, and so is its Mercenaries mode. Anytime enemies with guns appear the zombie attack genre is dead and both games did it, but 6 sectioned them off into separate stories that could suck in a corner by themselves.

Project EDEN. It's a Lost Vikings style character-swapping puzzle game, set in the increasingly haunted undercity of a severe cyberpunk dystopia. Each character has different abilities and strengths, and you have to figure out how to get the right ones into the right places to solve the problems so you could progress. I fucking love this game and think it was unpopular at the time for wrong reasons: it got looked at like it was just a bad third person shooter, but it's completely a puzzle and exploration game and great at both.

resident evil was always insanely popular.
a full high-production cost american movie was released shortly after zero & 4.

0 might not have been as well received as other entries in the series; however the jpeg backgrounds were praised by almost everyone.

You're solving a "problem" that has no reason to exist.
Dropping weapons adds nothing to the game, the partner mechanic adds nothing to the game. The best way to play the game is to dump everything in a main hall, leave your partner there and play the game as a solo character until a puzzle forces the partner there, then tediously lug anything to the next main hall.
People call the game bad because it is. The game mechanics it adds do nothing or are a downgrade. The rest of the game is incredibly boring and generic. You are not 150 IQ for playing a shit game with bad design.

[Anonymous No.8672442]

>>8671905
Kind of, but Jericho uses the gimmick as a set of combat classes for the majority of challenges because it's way heavier on fighting, which isn't the focus of Project Eden. Jericho's still a shooter with bells and whistles. In PE half the time if there's significant combat, it's still approached like another puzzle you try approaches to and see if you pass/fail, and most of the time the puzzles aren't combat. PE's shooting gameplay is simplistic and not a high percentage of problems, it has more in common with a hazardous gas area you clear to be able to solve the next thing than real FPS/TPS gameplay.

It might have played a little better since it was probably using the RE2 engine, and I do like the older artstyle, but I think it was doomed from the start. All the stupid shit from the final game like Marcus cosplaying as a Final Fantasy villain was there from the very beginning. I don't know if they just completely ran out of good ideas or what, but if you look through concept art galleries you can tell shit just went right off a cliff after 3.They must have switched artists too, because CV and 0 have some of the most godawful amateur hour concept art I've ever seen compared to the amazing illustrations from 1-3.

RE0 seems like its main ideas were all conceived around the train and everything else was trying to fill out a game past that with no proper direction.

The sequels just copied the original (and gave a few more slots), and what you don't realize is that the original has more inventory space than it was supposed to originally. In the beta versions you can NOT combine ammo together up the original ammount, meaning 25 Beretta bullets = 2 inventory slots (15+10). Although the game was balanced differently and enemies had less HP.

With that said it all comes from Sweet Home

The PS2 didn't have the power to run REmake though. I mean just look at their version of RE4, laughable.

Not really unfortunately. They're pretty much impossible to beat single player but it's technically doable. The lack of split-screen or even a basic partner AI makes them pretty much impossible to play now.

The PS2 had more processing power, its architecture is just batshit insane, causing multiplat titles to suffer and take sacrifices on PS2 because code for more standardized hardware will struggle to use the parallel VPUs well without an expensive full rewrite. So REmake would port and just take sacrifices, same as other games - or if it were built natively on PS2, would be just fine.

I haven't touched them in well over a decade but I seem to remember the AI being relatively competent at doing stage objectives actually. Like, some stages require different people to gather items at different locations for example, and I remember the AI being able to go and acquire some things by themselves as long as you were doing something too (in other words, they won't clear the stage all by themselves)
