Because your imagination makes the graphics
and characters more than what they are.
Like an impressionist painting vs a photo.

Also, in the new games, because the main characters are
so graphically detailed, their personalities
come off as kind of hollow,
we have al this detail on the faces but they're
not using a script that will have them emote
on a level that's unified.

In the old games, the characters fit much better
as these archetypes and heroes.

It's THEIR whole body motion, and wher ethey are in the enviroment

vs

in the new ones it is YOU in the enviroment,
you're far closer to the experience.

SO they're different enough you ought to
play the originals.

It's a bossfight. If you shoot at it, it will go away through a wall and come back in scenario B. If you fight him the right way, you get extra supplies next to the tramway.

just look at the blood coming out of her face and trickling down her neck, and compare it to the blood on the new "realistic" models, which looks like random red shiny liquid splashes

>same with anime 'fans'
Most English anime fans haven't been exposed to the stuff that is being remade today.
The original Hunter x Hunter TV anime had an extremely limited DVD release a couple years before the 2011 TV anime began broadcasting.
Dragon Ball Z had a string of notoriously bad home video releases and had a very poor broadcast schedule on American TV, so the Kai version was successful overseas.
Also, the JoJo Part 3 OVA was genuinely mediocre beyond some cool animation cuts, which is why the David Production anime has effectively replaced it both in Japan and in the West.

There's other instances of remakes or reimaginings, but a lot of them fail. There's been tons of pushback to the Urusei Yatsura remake that is set to air in October, Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken has a few dedicated schizos in the /a/ threads, Shaman King gets shit on whenever you bring it up, etc.

But is the remake of the first game worth playing?

[Anonymous No.8951848]

>>8951840
Absolutely, but I'd have to assume that those pre-rendered backgrounds it has would be better suited to a CRT. Not necessarily something that would emulate in dolphin well but admittedly I've never tried.

[Anonymous No.8951970]

>>8951840
Yes, it's still a fantastic game. I think it's probably better if you play the original RE on PS1 first though, because REmake adds in tons of new content and areas meant to trip up veteran players, but either way its still a great time.
Like the other anon said though, the pre-rendered backgrounds really aren't that flattering when running the game at a high res, even on the HD collection. RE0 HD in comparison though really had some beautifully well done environments despite being the lesser of the two games.

>They wanted to provide a "B plan" for the boss like RE1 did for most of its bosses but they fucked it up badly.

The game designers need to think "what would a player do if they had no ammo? because they need to design for even the worst players. And this is a timed boss that will kill you if you don't inflict enough damage fast enough, so the knife isn't viable. But the tank option (jaws shoutout) is just too quick and efficient so people prefer to use it instead.

[Anonymous No.8955054]

>>8955048
okay THANK YOU. I knew you could fight the gator normally, however I never knew what the significance of that shelf was. In the normal game it's empty or nearly empty so I had no clue why there was a camera focus on it. It made zero sense to me. Now it does.

>When you think about all the cut content from RE2 that they could have used to bolster REmake 2 but instead it was a "meh" remake for the modern gaming audience.

Capcom really fucked up REmake 2 and REmake 3. Can't wait to see how they fuck up REmake 4 since they'll most likely skip Code Veronica.

[Anonymous No.8955873]

>>8955745
There's speculation Remake 4 will merge CV's plot into 4. So you'd have Claire-Leon dual scenarios going on at once, in the same location in a Scenario A and Scenario B. Probably means they will merge the Castles and the Aristocratic family together into one. This is pure speculation though.

[Anonymous No.8955906]

>>8955873
interesting, but I doubt that very much

[Anonymous No.8955913]

>>8955906
CV's plot can be merged into 4 suprisingly well, especially when you think that 4 was probably gonna be an Umbrella linked castle. So Sadler is a cult leader and the artocratic family from CV are there. Steve is a Leon Clone so why not just make him Leon in the first place?

[Anonymous No.8955917]

>>8955913
It's not about if they can, it's about profitability
why would they do double the work for one game when they could make two

[Anonymous No.8955925]

>>8955917
Because CV had mediocre sales and doesn't warrant spending the money and resources making a full remake. so it's merging CV into 4 or nothing. If you were to submit a request to remake CV, the execs would say: "Why should we remake a game taht didn't sell well and wasn't even well liked critically?"

[Anonymous No.8955939]

>>8955925
this really has nothing to do with putting two games into one

lol they'll just chase the biggest sales and 5-6 have big sales. Other option is remaking 1 again. I think it's VERY likely they'll release a fully 3D RE1 remake for 2026 to celebrate the series 30th anniversary.

Zapping system and cinematic angles with the backgrounds. I really wish the REmake 2 had an option to give it cinematic angles and "classic" aiming, even if it was just a mode you unlocked after beating the game or something.

Other than that, REmake 2 is just amazing and something all remakes should aspire to.

[Anonymous No.8956596]

>>8944775
REmake 1 sucked because it turned the mansion from an eerie, all too clean and oddly well lit place, into a spooky, poorly lit fucking carnival horror house. It was the worst possible take on it they could've done.

I'm tired of people fellating this shit for ruining RE1's atmosphere.

A Calico. Parasite Eve 2 has one too.

[Anonymous No.8956687]

>>8956653
Calico, a company that made prop guns for sci-fi movies that were so cool, they ended up making real guns too

The magazine is supposed to have 50 or 100 bullets capacity but it's obviously unfinished in RE2. It was most likely planned to be Leon's bonus gun like Claire's Colt SAA

Parasite Eve 2 has a very similar Calico. I think some of the devs from RE2 worked on PE2

[Anonymous No.8956704]

>>8956687
PE2's director is RE1's writer and he's using his unused RE sequel ideas for PE2. That's why it's suddenly about some shady Mega-corp doing bio-research.

We have the numbers:

>Sep 1999 - Resident Evil 3 Nemesis - PS - 3.50
>Feb 2000 - Resident Evil Code: Veronica - DC - 1.14
>Mar 2001 - Resident Evil Code: Veronica X - PS2 - 1.40

https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/million.html#tab6

So CV sold 2.51, 1 million less than RE3 and it took two releases spread out over a year to do it while RE3 sold 3.5 and did it in one release. The winner is clear!

Capcom devs would see CV, Remake, and Zero, as having declining sales and then request some changes.
