Resident Evil Series

[Masamune]

Noooooo. She's the one in the winter area with Chris. She actually looks normal unlike the others.

That's totally Lightning's voice-actress, isn't it?

 

[Super Mario]

No Wesker? No game.

 

[Hisako]

Honestly they'd probably need to do a metric fuckton of backpedalling to make Wesker as interesting as he was before Resident Evil 5,

I thought killing him off for good was probably the best decision having seen what they did to him during that game.

I don't like my zombies/horror things in shitty environments like submarines or snowy wastelands, or some secluded stereotypical-looking laboratory. Though its been done to death, I like my zombies/horror things in residential areas, even if those residential areas are not so modern or western. Just something I can vaguely relate to. Tis why the house in RE1, the city in RE2, and the intro area to RE4, I found so interesting and scary etc. I didn't bother buying RE5, though it looked like some of that was based in an African town, but it didn't look interesting from the demo I played because of another thing I don't like: too many zombies etc, aka overkill. I like dealing with a few zombies at a time whom appear in unexpected areas with limited ammo and resources available to me. A stealth zombie game would be even better, MGS4 meets RE =p.

Also, interesting characters with a developed storyline would be nice. There isn't much of that in RE. The gameplay from that video looks horrible. The dogs were jumping all over him, but not attacking for quite some time. I've seen non-zombie dogs more vicious than that IRL! Controls look shit too.

To be honest, personally I still enjoyed Resident Evil 5 for what it was worth. While it certainly wasn't a hugely suspenseful, real horror game like the games before 4 were, it had its own decent entertaining atmosphere and a suitable palette and level design to boot.
Capcom might have gotten more than a few things wrong in RE5, but visual panache wasn't one of them.

Also the characters are half of what keep fans coming back, dude. Saying that there isn't much of that in the Resident Evil series is pretty baffling.

I will grant you that the controls look godawful, but I think that's an issue with the peripherals itself rather than any direct fault of the developers I think (especially for handhelds) an auto-aim function would make things a lot smoother. I think that thing Chris threw was actually distracting the dogs; they weren't just really poorly-handled AI.

A stealth game with zombies would definitely be an interesting concept though, afaik I only know of one game that genuinely used stealth with primarily horror elements (Vampire Rain) and that was a fucking terrible title.

 

[Tetsujin]

RE with stealth elements? That might actually be interesting.
Kinda taking the "preserve ammo" concept a step further by actively trying to bypass enemies by not letting them discover you in the first place.

You could use items to distract them or something.
Like there's a bunch of monsters and you'd throw a piece of meat or something from a hiding spot so they'd be distracted with the meat for a bunch of seconds while you sneak by them.

 

[Max Payne]

Lol she didn't last long.

 

[Celes Chere]

RE with stealth elements? That might actually be interesting.

They sort of had that in RE5 when you had to sneak by the lickers since they couldn't see or hear you (if you were quiet).

GOOD RIDDANCE TO RACHEL. But you know I bet they're going to revive her as some sort of monster now. xD Ahem, WHY couldn't they have done that with Steve?! Why did they have to take his virus and give it to Manuella that's such BULLSHIT. And It's a shame how predictable the trailer is (when she's running away).

 

[Hisako]

So I was right in a sort of way!

I think Capcom were just setting up a scream queen to put into that game. Also probably a bone to throw to their ryona fanbase ugh

 

[Makoeyes987]

You really think they care about the ryona fetish? Lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Well that's what you get for entering a place of doom with your tits falling out.

 

[Hisako]

You really think they care about the ryona fetish? Lol

Well they have to cater for as many of their RE fans as possible

No matter how terrible the fetish

I mean, when you think about it, what exactly could be a plot point of a blonde bimbo swimsuit model being neck-raped by a B.O.W blade?

 

[Max Payne]

Well they have to cater for as many of their RE fans as possible

The fuck you talking bout Capcom doesn't cater to any fans.

 

[Super Mario]

How could she see with all that fringe blocking her eyes? no wonder her aim wasn't so good.

 

[Tetsujin]

Apparently Resident Evil not being Resident Evil anymore is the reason why we still have Resident Evil.

Wut.

[Super Mario]

Get the fuck outta here, Katawa. The only annoying bit of RE 5 I'm currently undergoing is having to conserve ammunition without the stupid AI wasting all of it as we move on.

 

[Interslicery]

I got around that by giving her ammo for guns Im not using. And just ignoring her whenever she runs out.

 

[Hisako]

these days on my RE5 game I bring up a New Game + and just give whoever I'm not playing as the infinite ammo weapon (bow/minigun)

 

[Super Mario]

I got around that by playing with a friend. It was worth the many deaths we faced.

 

[Hisako]

Eh, was more excited for 4 HD and Code Veronica HD.

Umbrella Chronicles at the very least was a shitty rail shooter.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Resident Evil needs to get bent. Goddamn, they'll do a shitty cash in on anything.

 

[Tetsujin]

I actually liked Umbrella Chronicles. =P

Not interested in those HD ports though.

 

[Hisako]

Really? I thought it was godawful D:

It was basically 'shoot the shit out of the screen' and then when the boss battles came up it was 'shoot at the screen a bajillion times faster'

 

[Tetsujin]

No shit, what else did you expect from an on-rails shooter?

 

[Celes Chere]

I liked Umbrella Chronicles too. Not really for the gameplay, but for more scenes lolol.
