Hey guys, it's October and one thing I do every October is play RE2. I don't know why but it puts me in the mood for the season really outright.
So why not make a thread about RE in general?
What are your favorites?
Why are they your favorites?
where do you see the series going?
Where do you think the series should go?
Personally, RE2 is my favorite with RE4 as a close second. RE2 has some of the best balance of the spooky atmosphere, tension, and the B-movie bullshit that makes it fun on that level. I guess it also has nostalgic value to me since it's the first game of its kind I played and it got me into liking zombies as a horror creature in the first place.
With RE7's reboot i'm unsure where the series will/can go and it seems like in gameplay terms they're going to keep pushing towards VR, personally I wish they would reboot the series entirely and start right at the setting of RE1…just now you can plan out a more competent storyline for the series.
Also, I'm streaming my playthrough right now. I'm halfway through Leon and I might just try to run through Claire B tonight as well. If you're interested, BitGhosts on twitch. If not, just enjoy RE discussion in the thread.

I've been slowly revisiting the series over the past year in anticipation of REmake 2. Only mainline and remakes so far but I might hit the spinoffs if I feel like it.
>What are your favorites?
Years ago I might have said REmake, but this year was the first time I played RE3 and I was pleasantly surprised, I think I might say that one was my favorite. Loved the pacing, loved the concept of Nemesis.
Also if anyone's interested there was recently a live director's commentary done on RE3 with Kazuhiro Aoyama, a translator, and a speedrunner.

The whole house section at the beginning feels a lot like a modern take on the original Mansion but just scaled down, everything after that first bit takes on a separate "flavor" (the house with all the bugs being a bit more of a rushed run-gun-hide approach and most of the levels afterward barring Lucas' Funhouse being fairly railroad-y in design.) and I just wanted more of the first level's design. But where it really falls apart is as soon as you fight Giant Jack literally everything post that moment is really bad and only puts all the problems the game has under a magnifying glass. (small levels compared to the first, tiny enemy variety, etc.)

Is this not the case? The game has plenty of action sequences that are then followed by bouts of downtime in which the player must uncover secrets or solve puzzles. This is simply fact, whether you like the game for it or not.
>RE4 killed the franchise. Since then resident evil has been yet another boring third person shooter
RE4 was far from boring. In fact, it was revolutionary for its time. Zombies would react to where they got shot; headshots often produced instant kills but would sometimes force the zombies to transform, their bladed tentacle head protruding from the hole where their heads used to be. In addition, shooting enemies in the limbs produced different reactions; shooting a zombie in the leg might make it fall down, while shooting a zombie in the arm might make it drop its weapon, and one would be remiss to avoid mentioning the simple fact that zombies could be stunned and then melee attacked for additional damage.

I just got done doing 100% in RE7, and the fact that there were two endings felt really tacked on, nothing changes if you pick Zoe besides the fact that it's the bad ending. I was expecting to play the ship part as Zoe, but nope your just Mia and it's exactly the same. it felt really lazy to me.
on the other hand I though the End of Zoe DLC was fucking awesome, playing as a grumpy old man in the woods beating the shit out of monsters with my bare hands, and the fights with Jack just made me want to put on some MGR It has to be this way or a Yakuza final boss song.
After playing as both Barry and Joe Maybe I just really like playing as Badass old dudes

>RE4fag saying others have shitty opinions
Also if you need someone else to tell you how RE4 is a bad Resident Evil game I really doubt there is literally anything I could say that would get through to you but fuck it I'll try.
Until Resident Evil 4, with some spin off exceptions like Survivor, the core Resident Evil formula had been "Exploration -> Item and Inventory space Management/Survival -> Puzzle Solving/Lateral Thinking" all three of these points worked in tandem throughout almost every level of the game's design. Figuring out which routes to take, which routes would save supplies, deciding whether or not to "spend" resources on for an easier time or save those resources for a pinch/boss fight all while fleshing out your map and giving you a better grasp on the area you find yourself in with some puzzles and collectables blocking new paths and progress. Then along comes Resident Evil 4 where those three core ingredients in the formula are fucking skewed and no longer working together like in previous games. You practically never run out of ammo if you're playing right and the game actively wants you to fight every enemy instead of being smart with your resources because enemies drop ammo now. Exploration is also toned down compared to previous games but instead puts you in a serious of big open "rooms" to give the impression of vastness with a few exceptions like the claustrophobic corridors of the Prison level interiors and some of the non-horrible parts of the godawful Castle level which work very well and are close to giving the same tension the previous games and even older builds of Resident Evil 4 had. Lastly lateral thinking and problem solving practically is boiled down to something that can make you more proficient in combat which isn't much of a boon since most confrontations are shooting an enemy's giant exposed weakspot or just shooting an enemy until they die with your ample supplies. Also side gripe: QTEs are fucking horrible, QTEs where you can die in one shot if you fail is unforgivable.
Resident Evil 4 isn't a bad game, it's a fun action romp that holds up to this day, but it's a fucking horrible Resident Evil. To say otherwise is objectively wrong.

>The core Resident Evil formula had been "Exploration -> Item and Inventory space Management/Survival -> Puzzle Solving/Lateral Thinking" all three of these points worked in tandem throughout almost every level of the game's design
All of that is present in RE4. The game's combat is built around inventory management. While it is true that enemies will drop ammo, it's also true that Leon will only be able to carry a limited number of items. Since one must carry weapons in the same space as ammo and healing items, the question becomes, "how should I allot my limited space such that I am prepared for the coming challenges?" Yes, eventually the player will be able to purchase the large cache, but this can be viewed as a bonus, much like the infinite ammo cheats that can be used post game.
>exploration
RE1, 2, and 3 were designed in much the same way as RE4, only RE4 is generally larger by comparison. All of these games involve going to a place -> either running past or fighting a series of enemies in order to get to the objective -> acquiring an item -> backtracking to use item in the appropriate area -> progressing past a proficiency check. The only major differences are that, in previous games, more of the combat scenarios were optional. In RE4, many of them are not. In terms of progression, these games have always railroaded the player into a series of events that must be completed in a very strict order. In fact, there is not freedom to deviate from the intended course per each playthrough. Still, this is not to say that the game forces the player to defeat every single enemy. That's not true. Even if it did, though, this isn't necessarily a negative; it just means the game has taken a decidedly more combat-oriented design philosophy.
>lateral thinking
I'm not sure what you mean by this, given that these games are all quite straightforward, as previously mentioned. You go to a place, inspect various items in the environment, a few hints are given about how to progress, and ultimately the player moves through the motions that are necessary for reaching the next objective. What lateral thinking is required to deduce that one must use a crank in an appropriate receptacle? That's about as straightforward as it gets.

I just wish they had gone with the bat-shit insane ideas they had for RE5 before they had to shoe-horn Sheva in and make the game forced co-op so as not to offend the nogs. As an aside, I wouldn't squarely put the blame on RE4 wrecking the series, but rather what came after. 5 and onwards tried their best to capture the magic of RE4 but failed, since they quickly turned into an action game with no tension and no horror. RE4 was obviously not an action shooter throughout the entire game, since there are lots of tense moments where shooting won't even necessarily help if you don't have the ammo and it's not even clear what you're supposed to be doing. The fact that 5 and onwards take-away from 4 was "make it more action-y" clearly goes to show that they had no idea what made RE4 tick. RE4 took the classic RE approach; start out slow, but escalate into sheer madness near the end. RE4 just did it so seamlessly that it's easy to hand-wave it away as being merely about action.
For example, I can't name a single moment in RE5 where I felt the same pants-shitting tension or dread I did in 4, and I can't even remember anything about 6. Those games were the most action-oriented in the series and in the meanwhile forgot the claustrophobic dread of being trapped with no way out and the tension of being outnumbered and outgunned. RE7 is just an unfortunate mistake of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. They realized they had been going too far into action territory so they immediately went in the other direction, but in so doing scrapped the ideas that actually worked and basically undid decades worth of learnt lessons and working design. RE7 starts off strong but immediately devolves into something that is too simplistic even for early RE game standards. It also seems to me like they were trying to capitalize on disenfranchised Silent Hills fans.
I am going to say that it is still possible for a RE game to use 4's formula and still have it be a good RE game.

Resident evil 4 because it has a fuck ton of Replay value,plays great, amazing atmosphere and diversity of scenarios, really good inventory system,great Enemies and character's overall. I'm still playing that game at the moment again.
Re5 because I loved that it took place in African Soil,loved all the weapon's,loved the meele and inventory (one of the few I guess),Great mercenaries mode,great co-op,great Docs,Diverse scenarios has well, amazing Boss fights, Creative and imaginative atmosphere,good Replay value.

Honestly the most recent Re game I played was 6 so I haven't followed Re in a while but I think they will likely keep making a mix of terrible and good games. Resident evil 2 remake looks good.
>Where do you think the series should go?
I would like it for them to obviously keep going with a more survival horror direction (re7+) while being able to regain some of that charisma that re4 and Re5 had. If they could make a horror game stylised like Re4-5 I would be happy.

What are your favorites?
4 and 2, for very different reasons.
Why are they your favorites?
4 because it's an amazingly-good third-person shooter with one of the best weapon lineups in any game I think, and I like how the narrative escalates into a hokey, dumb B-movie with one-liners and over-the-top action by the end.
2 because it's a really good survival horror game, well-paced, and I really like the zapping system (and I'm disappointed it's not being brought-back in the remake). Also I want to fugg Claire.
where do you see the series going?
Hopefully in the right direction at this point. 7 was good despite its flaws and the 2 remake looks pretty good as well, despite having some disappointing design choices like not having the zapping system and Claire wearing jeans instead of shorts.
Where do you think the series should go?
Honestly don't mind the direction it's going currently. It's better than the non-scary action fuckfest of 6 and the wishy-washy middleground between action and horror that the Revelations games had.

RE2 is my baby and I've played it probably two dozen times and enjoy it all. I still remember being blown away by the fact you get two different stories in the game and how awesome it was being hunted by Mr X.
REmake still looks great but doesn't feel as cozy to me. RE4 is a fun action game.
>where do you see the series going?
We'll see how REmake2 does. If it succeeds (and by all it accounts it will unless they profoundly fuck it up) we might see a REmake3 in a similar vein and maybe a main-line series entry like it.
It would be nice if they spun-off the first-person stuff to side-stories though because even though I liked VII, it felt short and too tiny. I was hoping the Baker house was going to be enormous and sprawling but it really wasn't. That said the basement is pretty scary and the regenerators MOULDED are frightening looking even if it's fucking boring seeing the same monsters over and over again.
>Where do you think the series should go?
If they did a pure fixed perspective game it would cause rioting in the streets of /v/. That said, it's never happening so enjoy your third-person-shooter/over-the-shoulder because that's what normalfags would actually buy.

>What are your favourites
RE1 and RE3. REmake and CV are third and fourth.
>Why are they your favourites?
<RE1
Most well designed game in the series, REmake adds a lot of filler that takes away from the original tight level design. Also has a killer original soundtrack, good FMVs and the most options in the series in terms of how you get around
<RE3
It's not an RE1 rehash like RE2 and does have a gimmick, but doesn't rely on it to artificially extend the length of the game (fuck zapping). Also went for a unique idea with Nemesis constantly running around.
<REmake
RE1 but with Lisa Trevor and more shit added onto the worst part of the game (the caves).
<CV
It just gets better with each time I replay it. Honestly the most underrated entry by a mile.
>where do you see the series going
After REmake 2, we'll get REv3 (which will end the REv series), RE8, then REmake 3 (if it's a REmake 2 standalone DLC, CV), RE9, then Capcom will announce a reboot so they can work around the issue that is RE4 and give actual closure to Umbrella story of the classics (as well as Ada's story)
>Where do you think the series should go
Far away from all the shit that showed up after Wesker died, excluding Alex Wesker. Jake is also fine, I wish they stayed consistent to Sherry's plotline and had her be in one of Wesker's facilities, so change that as well.

The point is, Silent Hill's melee combat is far more fleshed out than REs. In RE, the knife may as well be worthless, people only use it on knife only runs.
In SH, melee weapons are viable options to dealing with enemies, so long as they don't fly.

That's why a competent RE player will end up with more ammo than they could use by the end of the game right? It's so scarce you might only have 100 shotgun shells and a couple dozen magnum rounds by the end of the game. Good thing you didn't waste them shooting walls or trying to shoot every zombie off screen with the shotgun from 30 feet away.

that's a fucking retarded argument, sure re-run the game 5-10+ times and you'll know every route etc to take, hence why people can do it knife only, the fear for the average (not casual) player is having all these areas to explore and hoping there's ammo and only 1 or 2 zombies in that room as opposed to sh were, out of ammo? don't worry, you can beat all the grunts with melee weapons, where's the tension in that? you can fuck yourself in cv if you're not careful
7d46d6 No.15566492
>>15566076
If it took you 5-10 times to not be low on ammo I don't know what to tell you. The reason why everyone always says that ammo conservation is important is just because of the first time that they played through a particular RE. You fucked up and were low on ammo or healing items and every play through since you hoard the shit and end up with a dozen fully mixed herbs, over a hundred shotgun shells, like 50 magnum rounds, and every first aid spray that you won't use because it lowers your score and you have more than enough herbs not to anyway.
That isn't to say that there should be less or that the game is shit because there is so much. Capcom should have just had more difficulty options and had the number of things vary based on them. They balanced for the common denominator (of the 90s at least,) not the veteran.

RE2 had the right amount of puzzles and combat but my inner child loves RE3 even if it's flawed.
RE4 was perfect when it comes to just action but it went into a dark corner from there.
>where do you see the series going?
Either remaking all of the classics and mainline still being in FPS.
>Where do you think the series should go?
in terms of camera control more akin to what RE2 remake is doing and just keeping it horror-like with puzzles and zombies, having a balance when it comes to the zombies and not letting it become a complete blood and gore fest.
Heck a twist like the zombies cannot die would be nice change of pace kinda like Forbidden Siren with their zombies.

Yeah you would think Mega-Man would be one of Capcoms best sellers considering how famous it is, but when you look at Capcom's official sells page pretty much every single main RE game is listed before you get to a single Mega Man game.
I guess what makes Mega-Man profitable is that the games are relatively cheap to make. You start with the a base game weather that be OG, X, Zero and then just add some new sprites and a gimmick segment or 2 while keeping mostly every thing the same.

Well the problem is that they really aren't copying RE5 and 4 anymore. When they made 6 they bastardized the gameplay and since then it's been downhill.

RE6 had great fucking gameplay for a generic third person shooter, but the characters were so agile and strong compared to the enemies you could run circles around any enemy that wasn't a boss or some kind of guy with gun, so it was just a piss easy shooting gallery with a decent amount of cuhrayzee.
40ae56 No.15576259
>>15576250
That is the main problem. In RE games you are supposed to get fucked up. In 5 when you play with default weapons on hard difficulty it feels like a climb moving through the game and upgrading or getting new weapons and it's legitimately hard until you beat it and you can access all the high tier weapons whenever you want.
All RE games have a really good progression when you are playing on a legit difficulty when it comes to giving you weapons and items. In 6 and everything after that they kind of just stopped caring about things like that. 7 seems to be an experimental game and I don't think we are ever going to revisit it seems to be a one off.

The problem with RE4-6 is they have too much linearity and "press x to awesome". The camera perspective was okay and RE6 controlled the best, but the excessive action and the lack of the iconic Maniac Mansion and Alone in the Dark esque survival gameplay killed all their appeal for horror fans. To be frank, Resident Evil was always more action oriented and less puzzle oriented than Alone in the Dark and Maniac Mansion, but they shouldn't have turned it into a frantic zombie shooter series.
de16f9 No.15576262

I'm in the boat of I want the survival aspect of the old games back the action part of the games like RE4 and 5 was fun and it warranted multiple play-troughs because it was just pure fun.
But it was not like a RE2 speedrun where you thinking tactically and so on.
But from the looks of re2 remake is probably going to be more tactical in the aspect of not wasting bullets but I'm kinda afraid that there will be too much bullets on Normal difficulty.
40ae56 No.15576268

I think 5 was good for what it tried to be which was an action oriented resident evil game. Playing gamemodes like the mercenaries and fucking around with the weapons and maximizing combos in mercenaries was really the fun in the game.
TBH the old format was good but tank control games will never be made again unless they are indie projects. I thought RE3 was the pinnacle of the series but it was a little short. It had the perfect blend of action/fear/and resource management and had alot of cool features like the nemesis drops and the gunpowder mixing.
9172f6 No.15576272
>>15576259
Yeah, I know, going from the first pistol to maxing out the Red9 in RE4 made a huge difference, but as the game went on, your enemies also got upgraded, going from the faggot villagers, to the castle cultists, to the literal fucking army and fat niggers with miniguns. While, in RE6, you always had the exact same guns with no upgrades, and you always fought the exact same enemies in every campaign. It's always generic zombies, and zombies with guns, and maybe dogs or a special variant of zombie.
I wish they'd have used RE6's gameplay for some kind of John Wick or bootleg Max Payne game, because it fits that perfectly, instead of making you a fucking invincible God in a survival horror game.
a188f6 No.15576284

I'd rather have the game throwing more zombies at me for me to avoid than having tank controls or fixed camera. Both are the two things I've always disliked since I played my first RE.

Nah, Max Payne 3 was kinda shitty to play because they focused it on "realism" and not cuhrayzee. Max gets stuck in long animations and touching a wall mid shootdodge makes him fall over and get obliterated while he tries to get up.

In 5 I felt that it was 4 but 100 times better(you could sidestrafe albeit slowly just for that tab bit of maneuverability and camera control you need to pull off 180 degree headshots)
In 5 I can whip my camera around and easily shoot in any direction. I feel like the game especially in mercenaries gold is supposed to really revolve around the "Pick a position then stand your ground" style of gameplay which was fun and you have to maximize the amount of carnage you can inflict whilst simultaneously not being that strong of a character. You die from any "miniboss" character in like 2 hits or in some cases just 1(giant bug can gut you and the fucking executioner can 1 hit you)
So you experience extreme power and extreme vulnerability if you don't play it right. That's what I really liked about these games even 4 had it. If you play on pro the cultists can kill you in like 3 flail lashes. I also thought the melee system was fucking brilliant and a cool way of giving your character actual martial arts abilities beyond swinging the knife(I mean comone they are real operators I doubt they would just stand there and actually just let some zombie that moves 3mph just walk up and bite chunks out)
40ae56 No.15576315
>>15576295
Only play max payne 3 on new york minute mode. The shootouts can get cuhrayzee as you are incentivized to maximize bullet time efficiency and get consecutive headshots as fast as humanly possible. The thing about shootdodge in max payne is that it's always been a meme. In any max payne game shootdodge is always more risky than going into standard bullet time and just wasting people whilst still being able to move. In most scenarios in MP1 especially shootdodge should only be used to back away from enemies into an area where you can get cover or dodge into cover. Shootdodge should never be used as an offensive maneuver because most of the time in MP1 on the harder difficulties it leads to certain death when used like a retard.

It isnt the OTS camera, its the fact that the game motivates you (and sometimes forces you) to fight and kill enemies, when you kill an enemy he drops ammo or healing items.
