Video Game General 2.0: Yo Dawg I Heard You Like Remasters And Ports

HD-Man · May 23, 2014, 6:32am

Watch Dogs is out next week (which is the main reason I bought a next gen system), so hopefully the game is atleast decent

Plan on getting Infamous 3 as well, after that tho I’m drawing blanks

Nintendo will bounce back, I’m not saying Wii U will ever reach Xbone/PS4 sales, but it’ll sell more than enough to become profitable eventually, Michael Pachter who is kind of a tool said Wii U will sell around 20-30 million in it’s life span which sounds about right so I’m not worried.

Anyways Ubisoft E3 Lineup is shaping up to be pretty fuckin hard to beat. For all the shitty business practices they pull, one thing you can’t deny is that they make quality games.

For all the justified hate MS has gotten no one can deny that Phil Spencer is exactly what they needed to redeem themselves in the eyes of the gamers. Taking out the paywall, games with gold, kinectless $400, a decent number of hype exclusives coming out…yeah they are making Xbone looks very attractive to lots of people who probably swore they would never buy one like me. I was planning on buying a PS4 by 2016 and I’m still heavily leaning towards Sony, but if MS delivers on the games, I might go with Xbone instead.

Understatement of the century.

That being said I agree that I think the Wii-U won’t turn out too bad in the long run from a sales perspective as well as on your points about Ubisoft and Microsoft’s changes, Ubisoft are generally pretty good at E3 (the god awful conference with Mr Caffeine aside anyway) and Microsoft over the past month have greatly improved the attractiveness of the Xbone as a product.

The Resident Evil 7 rumors are gaining some steam so while we’re on topic here is the quintessential to-do list for Resident Evil 7 to be godlike:

-OPTIONAL Co-Op/Ai partner
-Reduce abundance of ammo/health pickups (at least on higher difficulties)
-Cut the quicktime button presses & forced disorientation cutscenes
-Claire & Barry return
-More aggressive enemy Ai
-Increase puzzle element (Revelations and Ada Wong campaign RE6 shows that the brain busters are still there)

Revelations showed that they survival horror element is still there and RE5&6 showed that the production value has only increased for the series.

They are perfectly set up to steal all the thunder from Evil Within, or else Evil Within is going to become the new Resident Evil come August.

Dunno about new RE, I’m sure Evil Within will be awesome but it is his retirement game. Any following I would find highly suspect.

If RE7 played more like 4/5 and less like 6 I’d be inclined to try it out. RE6 felt so damn clunky to me, control wise. The plot was a little to much as well, and while I enjoyed having a lot to do, only about half of it could qualify as “eh sorta fun” status.

Claire and Barry returns would be sweet though. Still holding out a little hope for Billy though.

Turning around and the prone controls were a little wonky but overall I thought RE6 was very loose, I would say the control were more “slippery” than they were “clunky”

And I think its scary (no pun intended) that when RE4 came out it was too action oriented, and then when RE5 came out RE4 was “perfect” and now that RE6 is out people praise RE5 and I have to call BS on that because I literally remember how much hate that RE5 got when it came out for being too action, so RE6 is more action than that?

I think RE6 has suspense, there was a lot of “creeping up behind you” but when you are equipped with enough ammo to take down an army who cares…

I will say that I liked how enemies were bullet sponges in RE6, they would often eat several bullets and their attack animations wouldnt always stop for a few gunshots, however the shotgun was very weaksauce for a shotgun.

Also bring back the ammo crate from Resident Evil 5, that shit was awesome. I hate the HUD in 6, and theres no way to horde grenades which was my favorite thing to do in Resident Evil 5.

I remember defending RE5 here when it was the new thing. Single player it was a total shitfest, but co-op it was a pretty fun experience. Nothing was really scary in the game, but it had a few cool callback moments (Licker swarm!) and it had a good pacing to it. It also was and still is a beautiful game, and I loved the cutscenes and general animation far more than RE6.

RE6 is the only RE outside of Gun Survivor on a boat I can’t really defend. It has a lot of flaws and was the only one I didn’t really get enjoyment out of. Hell I liked Gaiden better, but I am bias to Barry love.

Enemies were alright but it usually was more out of annoyance than any tactical stuff that they would kick my ass. I agree with the controls feeling slippery, better term for it, I would often do things I had no intention of and getting screwed because of it. The firefight segments in the Chris section were such a pain in the ass, Gears of War cover system it was not.

I can safely say I had fun with RE4 and 5, and I wouldn’t mind a return to that (Though probably not the best idea). But RE6? Nah, I won’t be revisiting that title.

Grossly accurate. Damn I didnt realize RE had this many continuity issues in 6.

Still enjoy the game but…a lot of these were spot on.

Saitsu · May 23, 2014, 8:40am

I’m not one to do this, but man that’s a 30 minute vid, you mind giving us the cliffnotes?

Cryoh · May 23, 2014, 8:49am

When you are ripping off CinemaSins, don’t make your video 30 minutes long.

yah_yaahh_b_tch · May 23, 2014, 9:01am

Pretty much goes through every piece of the game with a fine tooth comb pointing out continuity issues among random things that have made the series worse over the years.

The first 5 minutes are interesting enough to watch the whole thing.

XthAtGAm3RGuYX · May 23, 2014, 9:11am

CinemaSins actually has made some fairly lengthy videos, but nothing of that magnitude. But let’s add to the list shall we?

When attempting to copy CinemaSins:

Invest in a microphone that doesnt sound like you found it in the bottom drawer of your mother’s computer desk
Dont try to copy his voice. It’s unique-ish and you sound like an asshat when you do it wrong
Audio editing is a wonderful thing. Done make the “DING” sound 3x louder than the voice capture.
Dont make a bad joke and count it as a sin. Only count sins you twat. Unless it’s something about the lack of a lapdance
Video Editing and script reforming is great too. 15 minutes couldve easily been cut from that video by watching it and going “On second thought that wasnt too hot”

orochizoolander · May 23, 2014, 9:15am

Haven’t watched the video nor played RE6, but I just want to point out that the majority of the “sins” from cinemaSins are jokes or just aspects of the films the guy doesn’t enjoy rather than actual continuity/logistical errors.

XthAtGAm3RGuYX · May 23, 2014, 9:43am

Yeah but most of his jokes are alright. After having sat through this entire video, besides my few nit picks the whole thing was alright

I enjoyed it, was pretty spot on. RE has never been one to have the most concise plots but RE6 just tossed it all in a blender and said GOOD ENOUGH.

crotchpuncha · May 23, 2014, 10:30am

Yea I sat through the whole thing to and felt it was pretty on point.

His DmC video tho was totally worth it.

Gren · May 23, 2014, 1:08pm

Barring some brand-new IP that ticks all the right boxes, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the only title even remotely within the realm of possibility that could single-handedly sell me on next-gen.

And I damn well know even that ain’t happening.

crotchpuncha · May 23, 2014, 1:11pm

Beast Souls!
Wii-U Zelda (Proper one not the Dynasty Warriors one not that I have a problem with that game)
Kamiya directed Star Fox (Or just one that is a good Star Fox game but preferably the first option)
DMC5
Zone of the Enders 3

Bonus Round: The new Shantae
