Resident Evil (Questions & Discussions) Thread

fast paced games with better controls already sucks because of lag. metal gear online got the best controls,camera,engine(imo) and people whine about lag all day.

I cant see how re5 versus mode is gonna work. I think its a terrible idea.

You’re in for a nasty surprise towards the end of the game.

that’s how they worked in RE4 :confused:

one more thing people and sorry to come off sounding anal but…it’s magazine…all guns use magazines…that’s the box where the ammo is held in…the clip is inside that…but not all guns have clips…just refer to them as magazines (unless you talk about WWI rifles and a few pistols)

ok enough ranting, RE stopped being scary after 2…wasn’t survival horror since CV. It’s Action thriller to me now and I have been saying that for years.

Subjective.

3 still had me spooked, only because I fucking loathe pop-up scares, and I hate being rushed.

Wasn’t survival-horror since CV? Explain. RE0, Outbreaks, and REmake were pretty much survival-horror. I’d even consider Dead Aim to be too. But is there a reason you don’t consider them to be survival-horror games?

Well if he was going chronologically(0>1/Remake>2>3>CV) then I understand him, but if he was going by release dates then nah.

was speaking chronologically…0 and REmake were as good. REmake so far is still the only RE game that could get me jumping. I don’t count outbreak since i never played it nor care to. Dead Aim either…shit is more shooter.

0 has a few moments but the addition of 2 people at the same time (which predates RE5’s setup) made it less scary. I stand by what I said.

The difference starts when you max out the guns. In RE4 each gun had a final very expensive upgrade. Not the case in RE5. Some you just max out, and nothing really happens.

Some guns get specials out the box that you can upgrade like Critical, Piercing and Range. Example: Some Shotguns cant upgrade piercing. So, while one may have higher damage output on enemies, it won’t be as good as a weaker shotgun that has Piercing, for armored enemies or enemies carrying shields.

In RE4, you couldnt upgrade range or critical rate.

Mgazine/clip, the more you learn. I blame rap music for my horrible knowledge on gun anatomy

And I agree, hasnt been horror since CV. The game lost suspense, cause you’re never really in danger. It’s not about timeframe of release, but the switch in style, explains 0 and REmake.

Old style RE meant a regular enemy could fuck you up pretty bad if it wanted to. New style, I’ll piss in the face of regular Ganado/Majini, laughing. Not to mention the deluge of ammo.

A thought I had a couple minutes ago while in Mercenaries:

This engine and gameplay NEED to be used on a proper Dino Crisis game. RE4 and RE5 are pretty much based on Dino Crisis 2 and RE3.

Dino Crisis 4, with these graphics, and a Merc mode featuring every dino you encounter in the singleplayer campaign. Hell, using the RE5 blueprint, strap rockets and lasers to their backs.

been playing RE5 and yes system is the same still…just use different numbers and yes some guns get no upgrades and some do (RE4 again had that too, not every gun got a final upgrade). Also I’m sure someone already mentioned since 4 that if a new Dino Crisis was made this engine would do wonders for it. hell I say remake Dino Crisis 2 and keep it the same but use the RE engine. the horror is lost since we already know what to expect to an extent (like Family guy)

:lol:

Dino Crisis got peaced out ever since that shitty futuristic one that nobody talks about.

Yeah, the difference I meant was about the upgrades. Overall, still the same.

Dino Crisis 2 Remake would be great. It started the weapon upgrade thing (for Capcom action games).

The storyline was even wackier then RE’s though. It had timetravel, and the male lead’s unborn daughter or some shit, speaking moon language.

I doubt we’ll ever see it though. Dinos arent as popular now.

yeah it is horrible how the franchise hit its high mark at 2 and then someone apparently thought dino’s in space was so awesome. And it failed horribly and i actually played and beat the game. So many wasted nights:shake:

I’m definitely up for a sequel or remake for that series.

Back to RE5:
You know i was hoping we get some reference to that convict from RE0, Billy. Especially with his past in being in Africa.

If RE6 does get made i would like to be able to play as Rebecca and Hunk in the main game.

I want Claire somewhere in RE6.

I’m really wonderijng who’s gonna be in the next RE.

RE0: Rebecca, Billy
RE1: Chris, Jill, Rebecca
RE2: Leon, Claire
RE3: Jill
RECV: Claire, Chris
RE4: Leon
RE5: Chris, Sheva

Rebecca 2, Jill, 2, Chris 3, Claire 2, Leon 2,

I’m guessing Chris is gonna sit the next one out. Out of all the stars of RE, he’s the only on to feature in 3 games.

People like, Billy, Ada, Carlos I didnt count. UC is different.

Capcom did say something about RE being rebooted in a way after 5. If it’s storywise, that’d be weird, since there’s stuff that still not clear about ceryain characters.

RE6 - Tofu to be the lead character, fighting against the evil corporation RuptureFarms. Do it Capcom.

Man, you guys got me to thinking.

I think a Dino Crisis remake, with like Resident Evil 4 style gameplay, would be MUCH scarier than the new Resident Evil games. For some reason, I think those would lend themselves better to the Survival Horror genre, but it just depends I guess

Ya know what’s funny? Today on the train home from work, I had thought about both how Dino Crisis 2 may have been the precursor to the RE4/5 engine, as well as the possibility of bringing the series back with the current engine. And now you guys are talking about it. Bizzare…

Next game has to have Carlos. I would say they’d team him up with Billy, but of course, he’s not female.

Claire, Ada, and Leon should be benched for a good while now.

You could argue Leon and Claire had a thrid time in the spotlights. They had Degeneration.

People like Ada and Carlos never had their own game, unlike Billy.

RE5 spoiler - storyline

[SPOILER=]Jill is out of the question, unless it’s a prequel, cause she has Wesker powers now. She should get her own DMC-like spin-off though.[/SPOILER]

I’m gonna replay DC2 when I’m done with RE5. Regina was pretty bad ass. I really liked how there were more secondary weapons besides the knife. That little flamethrower that created a wall of fire in front of you was so broken.

I post to say…I’ve beaten the game tonight…wow only 3 days of playing single player? Either my skills from RE4 paid off or this game felt short.

in any case mercs is now open…I gotta get me those high scores to snag me more stuff.

Fuck off.
