Four pages in this week's Famitsu. No scans yet, I'll post them when they surface.

RE5 move controls weren't nearly as good as RE4 wii controls.  It was the method they used, not the tech, but still.  Aiming would always center the cursor and you would move it from the center by tilting the move controller.  On the wii, the cursor was always on the screen and always relative.

Seems like they're maybe redoing select parts of the old games for some collection? Was really hoping for a new Outbreak game with Dead Space controls.

Edit: So it's RE4 and Code Veronica. Fuck that shit.

sauce?

the graphics in the op link look like shit + the announcement in famitsu means i'm not expecting much

Seriously, unless they redo the assets, this is gonna be as pointless as other shameless RE milkings.  Unlike most of the PS2 remakes, RE4 already ran and looked great on the GC. 

If you just want to play it in high res, then there's already a cheap PC version that runs at 60 fps with improved GC assets on even low-end PCs. Fans have even figured out how to make the QTE be specific for the 360 pad.

It would also be easier to spruce up RE:CV then any other game in the series, any of the static background games could be tricky.  Hell, they wouldn't even have to change the camera angles, just import the character models from Darkside chronicles, add a bit more geometry to the stages and call it a day.

If you're looking for any additional details on Resident Evil Revival Selection aside from what we reported earlier in the day, you probably won't find any for the time being.

Our usual source for magazine leaks now has the magazine and has confirmed thatthe PS3 and Xbox 360 multiplatform title does indeed include two classic RE games: Resident Evil Code: Veronica Director's Cut and Resident Evil 4.

Both versions will appear in "HD remastered" form. The magazine apparently shows comparison pics between the two versions. For Resident Evil 4, the magazine confirms that the game will include Ada Wong's The Another Order scenario.

Aside from this, it looks like the magazine doesn't really say much. We're going to have to wait to see if Capcom has any additions planned in terms of Move/Kinect support or additional content.

The magazine lists development progress on the game with a "?" rather than a percentage. Release date and pricing are TBA.

^ finally someone who gets it. There is no such thing as a re-hash (pun sorta intended), provided the product being served is excellent. All manner of young Xbros will finally be exposed to these masterpieces.

It's completely different to OoT on 3DS, which is just a blatant re-heat and cash grab for a shitty outdated title, with an easily exploited fanbase.

I'd be down for some HD RE4 but the last time I touched Code Veronica was when it was first released on the Dreamcast.  I barely remember anything about the game.  I'll probably gamefly that one.

Wait a sec....they're bundled together?  Even better.

CV is shit.

Worst back tracking in the series. You have to backtrack between the mansion and the prison at least 10-15 times.
Horrible boss fights.
Long long long long waits in between save points, sometimes up to 40 minutes to an hour.
The knife sucks shit.
Shit graphics, lacks the charm and detail of RE1-3 in favor for crap 3d.
Steve Burnside is the worst RE character of all time.
The beginning of stupid overwrought RE plots and Wesker bullshit.

Before RE5 came out went through RE1-4 and tried to get through CV ps2 and it's the only one I couldn't complete. It is terrible. RE0 is better. The best thing about the game is the amazing cross dressing villain with multiple personality disorder.

RE4 is the best RE, REmake is the best traditional RE, RE5 is the funnest RE.

Killer7 HD would be awesome too, and PN03 HD.  I should really get that dolphin emulator.

It's a totally different game with completely different goals.

Gaming is not homogeneous. Because two games are in the same genre doesn't they have to remotely play or control alike. It's like complaining Sonic doesn't feel like Mario; it's fucking stupid.
Title: Re: New Resident Evil: Revival Selection (PS3/360)
Post by: fistfulofmetal on March 23, 2011, 09:09:28 PM
the goals of both games are the same. they are survival horror with an emphasis on action. resi4 was fine for it's time but that style has been streamlined and improved. it's why RE5 feels so dated.

Title: Re: New Resident Evil: Revival Selection (PS3/360)
Post by: Himu on March 23, 2011, 09:15:03 PM
The controls are fine.

The point of the game is tension. If you could move and shoot, all tension is lost. Enemies can be both fast and slow. The whole point is kill them before they get in your face and shoot cum in your eyes.

With move and shoot, you could easily do this. By making the combat both offensive and defensive with a mix of item conservation, evasion, dodging, and context sensitive melee, you have controls and a gameplay system that strive for a totally different thing than Dead Space's aim.

The fact that people like you are completely unable to understand the intent of the controls is annoying. RE4/5's controls are fine and 1000x more satisfying than any move and shoot controls. Shooting a Ganado in the fucking face, running in, and suplexing that mother fucker is so satisfying. Got damn.

I think REmake is a better game. The crimson heads, the puzzles, the difficulty, the terror, the surviving. In terms of traditional RE gameplay, it's definitely the best and in top form.

But...I don't think it's as fun as RE2.

I'm so glad CV is in, I hope 2 and 3 are as well.  But I'm guessing CV & RE4 have been done because compared to pre-rendered games they can "easily" slot in new textures, shadows and effects to make them purty.

But to be fair, a computer running that is also using a lot of that extra power because it has to emulate a console hardware. A fully optimized direct-running port should free up a lot of resources that could be put into post-processing to achieve effects similar to that.

With real analog control?  I seriously could not get into the ps1 in its day because I had spent months with Mario64.  So you can imagine when I went over to Tomb Raider and Resident Evil I couldn't tolerate the rotating with left and right and holding forward to walk relative to your orientation crap.

having a partner help me go through all the difficulties would be great, because I did that on sp in regular RE5, and while a blast, I want a different experience.

Resident Evil Raccoon City has been announced for 360/PC/PS3 too.  It's by the people who made the shoddier SOCOM games.

It's like a shooter or something.  this is what was posted in the gaf thread:
Quote
London, UK– March 28, 2011 – Capcom® a leading worldwide developer and publisher of videogames, today announced Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City, is in development for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. In addition it was also confirmed that the forthcoming Nintendo 3DS title, Resident Evil™: The Mercenaries 3D,will ship with a playable demo of Resident Evil Revelations.

Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City is a collaboration between Capcom and Vancouver based studio Slant 6 Games and is scheduled for release this Winter. Since the launch of the first title 15 years ago the Resident Evil series has enjoyed phenomenal success, selling over 45 million units worldwide to date. This latest offering will take the series in a completely new direction and offer a style of gameplay yet to be seen from the franchise.

Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City delivers a true third person team based shooter experience set within the dark and sinister Resident Evil universe and a reinterpretation of the events depicted in Resident Evil™ 2 and Resident Evil™ 3. The setting of the Resident Evil universe not only provides a rich backdrop to the action but delivers a unique and thrilling triple threat battle. Zombies and Bio-Organic Weapons (B.O.W’s) add to the mix as players not only compete against an opposing squad but also tackle this third unpredictable element, creating a brand new style of gameplay and breaking the conventions of traditional team based shooters.

It is September 1998 and the action centres once more on the ill-fated Raccoon City and the horrific consequences of the deadly T-virus outbreak from the Umbrella facility. With a cover up required, Umbrella orders an elite team into Raccoon City to destroy all evidence of the outbreak and eliminate any survivors. Hearing of this plan, the US Government dispatches its own special forces to uncover any evidence that exposes the cause of the viral infection and Umbrella’s actions. Players take on the role of an Umbrella Security Services soldier (U.S.S.), competing alone or in four player co-op in a battle against all the competing forces at play in Raccoon City.

Expect the return of original Resident Evil enemies, iconic landmarks such as the Raccoon City Police Department and fan favourite characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, who as a rookie police officer in Raccoon City is on your hit list to eliminate. Players will experience a retelling of classic moments from past titles Resident Evil™ 2 and Resident Evil™ 3 and watch the events unfolding from the menacing perspective of the Umbrella Security Service, giving fans the chance to rewrite the history of the Raccoon City outbreak.

In addition, Resident Evil™: Operation Raccoon City will deliver a number of competitive online multiplayer modes. Each one of these will provide a unique gaming experience thanks to the three way combat between the Umbrella Security Service, US Special Ops and threat of zombies and B.O.W’s that could only exist in the deadly and twisted Resident Evil Universe.

Purchasers of Resident Evil™: The Mercenaries 3D, scheduled for release in the coming months, will get a taste of the horror to come thanks to the addition of a playable demo of Resident Evil™ Revelations. Set on board an ocean liner, the demo lets players take control of one of the full game’s characters, Jill Valentine, as she explores the ship’s dark interior, killing any mysterious creatures that emerge from the shadows. A brand new title built from the ground up for the Nintendo 3DS, further details on Resident Evil™ Revelations will be revealed at this year’s E3.

in one of the scans it shows that you can take zombies hostage.

They've done this like three times and the Dead Rising 2 games was fucking aces. Bionic Commando was also a good playing game too, too bad everything else about it was pretty terrible.


Capcom should have More western developers work on their western-aimed titles. For example, Lost Planet 3 should be a western game.

yeah  :( kinda sucks when they're held back by 200 points and 12 cheevs only. RE4 with 500 points and 25 cheevs would have been way better. Oh well. Hopefully they do a Perfect Dark and have 20 cheevos or something.

TBH I actually dont care too much about gamerscore allotment, ie. I'd rather have a game that had 20 achievements for 200 than one that had 10 for 1000 (considering the games were great of course). I just love having lots of achievements to go for.

I'll post my impressions this evening. I'm just looking for it to play decently and have some achievements. I don't have crazy high expectations for it. As long as its fun and a decent port, I'm down as I'm not going to bother with the PC version and I've sold all my older systems.

It looks a hell of a lot better on my HDTV than the PS2 ( :yuck) version or the Wii version.

I would have preferred the game be $10 or better yet, actually get some REAL visual enhancements.  But RE4 is still awesome no matter how fucking lazy this port is.

Bought and played it this evening. The graphics and textures don't bother me. What does bother me is this odd shimmering effect with the graphics when you move. It kinda makes me nauseous.

The other thing you immediately remember that I had forgotten is how god damn shitty the controls are both when it was released and now. Dead Space controls just shit all over the RE series.

All that being said I still felt myself compelled to play because the core game is so good.

RE4 and RE5 were fine but they could be better.  I mean, RE5 had better controls than RE4.  The other thing I totally forgot wasn't in RE4 was stomping people on the ground.

It's down to level and enemy design.  RE5 got stupid at the end with cover shooter encounters, but it was fine against las plagas enemies.

The other minor quibble with RE4/5 are how many important actions are contextual

Bit on RE4 just cause I haven't played it since it first came out and playing it again with trophies sounded fun.  I was expecting it to look awful but uh, it doesn't look bad.  Game is very nice and sharp on a 1080p set unlike if I played the GC version which would be pixely and blurry.  It doesn't have AA (which would've made it even nicer), but otherwise it looks like RE4 upscaled with achievements/trophies.  For $10 it's probably worth it.  Wouldn't have paid more though.  Never played Separate Ways so that'll be new for me.

I'm more interested in CVX than the RE4 version because there are some notable upgrades like new lighting and a widescreen mode.  But not for $20, and apparently the PS3 version is worse than the 360 one.

and Separate Ways isn't that bad.  I didn't play it until the Wii version since I passed on the PS2 port, but it is what it is.  A short, poorer designed campaign with less freedom.  If you enjoy the core combat of RE4, and I do and it's why I like Mercenaries mode, you get more of that.  Almost everything is recycled and it's only about 3 to 4 hours.  You have no real choice in weapons or upgrades, outside of inventory size.  It's worth checking out but don't expect anything near the main game's quality.  I don't think Mikami was involved either.

Plus, if you want to unlock the typewriter, you need to finish it.  Though if you want the typewriter in Separate Ways, you need to play Assignment Ada first.  Assignment Ada was on the gamecube too and it lasts a couple minutes; pure action, also not that great, and no save points.

Yup, Separate Ways was fine, and it also got one new area not found in the main game, plus some additional storyline segments that any RE fan will like. 

I don't think I will be able to play through CVX again, so I'll be passing on that.

its not a total shit game like say, any re spinoff, but its so much worse than the previous 3.  my biggest complaints were:
1) that you werent givin a clear direction to go, so youd end up stumbling around dead ends until you found the one door that needed a key from way back when (island level with the "choice" to go to the military base or the mansion is a good example of this)
2) OMG BACKTRACKING. not content with having you stumble around maps, capcom also forces you to play each level twice to make it MORE TEDIOUS EPIC

CV has maybe 3-4 item boxes total. The trek to the first typewriter is like 30-40 minutes. It has the worst enemies in the series (bandersnatches) and an annoying cast (Steve Burnside). It's just not fun in comparison to 1-3. I can see the appeal, but it remains the only classic style RE I haven't beaten. I prefer even RE0 to it.

It has the best item mixing and customization, amazing pacing, really well made puzzles, a great setting.

I don't know what you're talking about, but people I know loved RE from the gate. I know for me, it was my favorite RE pre-RE4 for a long spell.

I liked the re4 controls.  I probably didn't notice the Dead Space controls because of how bad the game was.

while we're being honest about REs here, one thing that surprises me is the reverence people have for re"3".  to me it always felt like a cheap half-hearted side project that didn't even deserve a spot at the table with CV, let alone RE1 and 2.  i'm really shocked that history (and gamers in general) has judged it to be not only better than CV, but worthy of being bunched in with the first two.  the only cool thing about it is nemesis, and he's really just an extension of the second half of re2.  everything else about it screams ez bake cash-in with a number slapped on it to take advantage of people.

Everyone I know irl thought RE3 was the worst game in the RE series.  I don't know anyone who ever replayed it and I certainly haven't looked back after finishing it once.  Boring Jill side-story in uninteresting locations and I didn't even like Nemesis; I think he's a really dumb looking design and wish he wasn't in UMvC3.


For me:

REmake > RE4 > RE2 > RE1 DC > RE0 > CVX > RE3 > RE5

Replay RE3 today. Then play CV.

RE4 = RE2 > RE5 > REmake > RE3 > RE1 > RE0 > RECV

I'm playing Resi 4 right now. FUCK this is harder than I remember, especially after I've been beasting away at Mercenaries.

I don't understand how the F I'm supposed to kill people quickly. Single headshots rarely work (or my aim is shit) and when I do foot shots they trip and fall down -- I can't do a head stomp or finishing move a la Mercs -- and if I hit them in the leg they stagger but the window for executing a kick seems miniscule. INTERNET SUPERGAMERS GIVE ME STRENGTH, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

Hitting them in the knee should make them kneel down, not fall down.  From that position, or if you stagger them from a head shot, you can follow up with a contextual attack.  If an enemy is on the ground, alone and you want to conserve ammo, you could knife them.

also, unlike later games, you need to upgrade weapons at the shop to make them more effective.

re3 always did feel like a cash-in, but it was a really well-made one so it didn't bother me that much.

the game kept up its pace a lot better than the other old-school re games by eliminating a lot of the backtracking, the new enemies were tough and well designed, nemesis was tough and scary, and the story scenes gave you more control over the events, just like re1, which i preferred over re2's method of "replay this game four times to see all the story branches."  it didn't break any new ground (well the dodge was new and appreciated, even if it was shittily implemented), but it was a solid game that's still really fuckin fun to play.  also fuck yeah mercenaries, bitches

It shouldn't have been called "Resident Evil 3" since it took places at or around the same time as the events in 2, but that's just nitpicking.  Still would have loved to have seen a REmake that combined the events of both games together...would have been awesome to have one character running around the same area that another did, with subtle changes/details showing what the other character(s) had done there as you progress.

RE4 and RE5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the other REs.  They changed it for the better.

You guys can have your bro bro coop action game, but that's no RE game.  Plus it ruins the plot (which I'll admit was terrible by this point anyhow) and has the worst possible ending to the series they could have come up with.

re5 is awesome tho because you finally get to kill wesker, and you do it by blowing him up with rocket launchers inside a fuckin volcano

:bow REFIVE :bow2

plus the rest of the game is fun as fuck, even if it doesn't break any new ground.  just like re3!

What I've been thinking this entire thread. Though I won't knock the classic REs for their incredible atmosphere and at-the-time astounding production value, running around aimlessly trying to collect a bunch of obscure items to solve a vague door puzzle isn't my idea of fun. Capping fools in the head and then spin-kicking them into a group of other dudes is.

It's a shame they chopped the horror out of it, but really, I don't think that sub-genre is going anywhere.

Old Resident Evil games were never scary to me in the way people describe them.  They're tense for a few reasons (limited saves, inventory, resources, etc) and general survival, but the cheap scares were nothing.  Resident Evil 4 had everything good about old games and made action much better.  There were fewer puzzles and a few other things weren't as important as the action but it had everything it needed to.  Resident Evil 5 has great action, but it removed too much of the survival aspects.  You never had to think past the immediate moment you were placed in.  And Resident Evil Revelations is bringing back cheap scares and toning down the action which isn't a good idea; it looks boring.

I don't see so. I really like REmake but I wouldn't want to replay it ever. It's too hard/tedious. Always carrying oil + lighter for crimson heads;etc. is :yuck And playing that game as Chris is torture.

Yep, RE2, 4, and 5 are deffo the best in the series.

RE5 had the most uninteresting set pieces and locations in the series.  REALISM ftl~


When I play RE I play it to go to creepy atmospheric horror locations and bust some monster heads in to a B-movie horror plotline.

RE4 is awesome because it made the gameplay better while still keeping the cool & creepy locations even if it wasn't scary, at least you explored gothic castles and fought sea monsters and there were fire breathing dragon statues and marine knife fights and stuff.  It was fun and full of imagination.  Like being at a theme park.  RE5's setpieces were so drab, SHANTY TOWN, OIL REFINERY, OLD CATACOMB, EMPTY VOODOO VILLAGE WITH WIND WAKER SAILING EVERY 2 MINUTES, TANKER, VOLCANO.  It's like they didn't even care about making it interesting; it was just a generic western shooter with RE4 mechanics.

The boss fights in RE5 are also the worst:  Tanker tentacle repeat too many times zzzz, distinguished mentally-challenged coop flamethrower monster, GUYS WITH GATLING GUNS, NINJA POSSESSED JILL. 

I mean seriously wtf.  RE5 is basically the game that convinced me that modern day Capcom Japan is a wasteland of creativity and talent.

How are ancient ruins with killer sun lasers realistic.

I still don't see how lurker lab and the village AREN'T creepy.

Boss fights you have a point, those are the games weakest link, but it's not like RE1-3, CV and 0 have good boss fights either. RE5's boss fights suck mostly because it came after RE4, which has amazing boss fights.

I'll give you lurker lab.  That was cool.  I also liked the first underground bit with blob monster.

I don't like the village.  I know a lot of people really like that part but I found it really boring and tedious because everything was so separated into these little segments and pigmy men.  Felt like it was trying too hard to be RE4 at that part.

I don't see how it was trying hard to be like RE4. That part has you explore the area, get keys, and continue on.

Oh wait, that sounds like something the series has been doing since RE1.  :P

The bosses in RE5 are definitely nowhere near as good as RE4's, but the game rocks all the same.  The locations it features are no more "realistic" than the previous titles.  Bebpo, you so crazy.

The game being co-op was never a problem.  There was only one section in the entire game where you really had to watch/help your partner, be it in co-op or with the CPU.

The "horror" thing in RE has been a joke to me.  Only the original title ever felt (somewhat) like that.

I just want to see if the RE DS game or RE6 really stick to new villains, or if Wesker will come back and give the series the lame Mega Man Wily/Sigma effect.

The only mainline RE I didn't really like was RE0; the item dropping and character switching mechanics drove me nuts. And it really dissapointing in regards to it being a prequel to RE1.

Although I played 10 minutes of RE:CV, long enough to remember how much I hated Steve. Ugh..
