? This game has an RE4 over the shoulder camera, not a fixed camera. Which is far, FAR preferable unless you're some try hard lunatic that likes difficulty for no apparent... oh, just remembered who I'm talking to. Please don't play this game.

Supposedly there's an unlockable Classic formula mode. If you believe *autistic screeching* insiders. Remains to be seen, since the only unlockables we know of so far is 4th/Hunk and Tofu.

Saw a pic from a copy of the game retrieved early showing classic cam called fixed camera.



I can't find the other pic, but I doubt it's fake. It showed Leon and the zombies from regular RE2 cam.

In any case, you didn't have to be mean.

Having completed and beating the demo, it felt like it had the scenario design, goofiness, charm, and pacing of RE2.  It has similar mobility and combat mechanics as RE4, but it feels......really different. The camera and your POV is pretty damn close to RE4. All the enemies in RE2 being a monster is completely different than the past 4 Resident Evil games, RE4 included.

RE4 is my favorite Resident Evil game, by a gigantic margin. I've beat the fucker probably five or six times by now. It is the only RE game where fighting humanoid enemies is fun and thrilling.

RE2 having the camera perspective of RE4, fighting monsters in the perspective, and the game having a lot more care put into it than Revelations, this is gonna be a banger.

You mean like RE2, right?

I’m not sure why that’s so shocking. It’s a remake. The orignal game is a survival horror game to the max. The reason REmake is so revered is because it’s the best remake ever made. It takes the original and makes it better, basically. Why wouldn’t they make it survival horror like RE2 rather than horror action of RE4? They’d be massacred. This is partially also why they’ve managed to get the game out so quickly: they’re not being ambitious, they’re sticking to the games roots. Compare to FFVII remake, which they’re trying to make as ambitious as possible, as far away from its roots as possible, turning a menu based rpg battle system into an action rpg trying to get new fans rather than appeal to the orignal fans, wanting to put the entire kitchen sink into a goddamn REMAKE - the sort of project that should be forward thinking but not try to be revolutionary.

Basically, Capcom isn’t distinguished mentally-challenged like another company we know.

It's clearly going to be a very different game and in the vein of 7. Not only because of the bullet sponge enemies, but also in level design. You can go to the second floor straight from the beginning and between cutscenes it's way more gated than the og in the beginning. Hence I bet the new map is in no way going to be as complex as classic RE, but also not unfit linear bullshit like 4-6, i.e. it will be like 7. Plus the entire menu/hint work is stripped straight from 7, as well as the realistic tone with low key music.

I don't have a problem with two different games, though I wish this included the og like Metroid Zero Mission or had "remake" in its title so that the og doesn't fall into oblivion, as it will clearly stay worth playing.

Yeah, I finally tried the demo yesterday and it was weird because it didn't feel like RE2 (obviously) and it didn't feel like RE4 (no ammo drops, less action-y). I'd definitely agree it felt closer to 7 out of any of them?
Feels like it's going to be a weird and new experience. Could be a good thing, could be not? Idk, looking forward to it for sure.

I guess a big difference is that REmake still feels pretty much like RE1, so this is a different take for sure.

I do love my some survival horror games though, so pretty stoked. Having just replayed Silent Hill 2 a month ago reminded me how fun and exciting the genre is and how well the games in it still hold up. Definitely wouldn't mind replaying the old RE games (at least 0-3) sometime.

I haven't played 7 yet, I'd agree that the game doesn't feel exactly like classic RE2 or RE4 but something different. I'm pretty sure it's going to work over the course of the game, though.

One thing I like is bringing back stash boxes, making players make choices with limited inventory space. That feels more "horror" and less "action-y" for lack of better terms. Obviously in the course of the demo over just 30 minutes you don't really get the effect of it at all but I feel like it will play out well over the course of the game. I wonder if the stash inventory will be shared between Leon and Claire over the course of the game or not.

It also has an Adventures of Bayou Billy DLC.

I disliked 5, never bothered with 6, was hesitant because FPS and the intro demo felt like they were going for a different vibe that’s more film horror than survival action.

Turns out the opening’s good but totally misleading. Once you get about 30-60 mins in it’s all locked doors and obscure symbol puzzles and blowing heads off zombies with shotguns and yeah it’s just good well-designed old school RE.

I’d put Remake, 2, 4, 7 all on equal classic level.

Even if RE4 didn't fuck over the series and didn't open the way for a decade of trash RE, it still would have a few too many redundant/lame rooms to beat other Mikami games like REmake and GodHand.

I'm not so down on 5. It's clearly nowhere near as good as 4, on pretty much every level. It's not as personable or charming. The gameplay, structure, level design, and mechanics are sometimes half baked and uninteresting. The co-op is pretty mediocre all things considered and tedious when played solo.

But.

It's still kind of fun. Despite over the shoulder becoming the norm, no one has really matched RE4's use of it. How it feels tense and really hammers in you to be careful and thoughtful with your shooting. It's why to this day it's still really playable. When people complain about not being able to move and shoot they show that they don't get it.

Still, RE5 is one of the few games to kind of understand that tension that comes from over the shoulder and so I can still play it despite is lesser quality. And co-op is pretty fun. It's a solid game.

few games hold up to 4 so I don't hold it against 5. I think RE4 is my most replayed or bought game ever. I have bought it on GC, Wii, and ps3 and I've beaten it at least 6 times on each system. It's getting close to another run since I'm in the RE mood. I should go through the entire series tbh.

Defending RE5 is like defending a bollywood ripoff of Terminator 2. Though RE4 was the beginning of the end. The original demo they released for GCN when it was still a horror game looked so amazing. Then REmake flopped and they changed everything for the babies who were too stupid for exploration and combining things. At least 4 was good for what it was, even if it was nothing RE, but 5 wasn't even good in what it tried. Thankfully 7 finally killed all that shit for good. :rejoice

I agree that RE5 is not on the level of RE4 (not much is!), but it was still a blast to play and I probably replayed it more times than I did RE4.  It was a really fun action game that I liked playing solo, co-op, and even enjoyed the online versus stuff in.  I thought it was an excellent game in its own right.  Really the only RE games that disappointed me were half of RE6 (Chris and Jake's stories) and Revelations 2, which just felt so jank and low-budget crap that I never did play beyond like two chapters.

Still disappointed that Capcom has yet to follow-up on what happened after Revelations, since two of the bad guys got away in the end.

I've never heard you talk about it ..... Not like you do RE4.

5 was the last one I played since 7.  I thought 5 was ok.  The rushing hoards were tense.  But didn't get me excited enough to try 6.. by word of mouth, seems I didn't miss out on much. 

As much as 7 makes me feel like playing RE all over again for the first time, I wonder if I'd feel the same not playing in VR.  :doge
Tell you what though... This is the 3rd game I've ever played where I'm probably gonna have to get the paid DLC, I'm enjoying it so much.
