Resident Evil

Well, since Dino Crisis doesn't have a thread then I am going to chime in.

There has been no survivor horror with realistic animal antagonists because animals normally don't actively try to kill humans.

The classic outfit is preorder bonus. I wish they incorporated the skirt in the new design.

It’s a zombie with a rocket launcher. I’m wondering what else they need.

I meant more like all the dinosaurs get changed up so that they look how they would in real life, like with feathers and stuff since they're more related to birds than lizards and raptors were apparently the size of turkeys and so on.

Probably should've worded that better...

But wait, animals normally don't actively try to kill humans? But what about bears or wolves or snakes? Don't those guys kill humans? Or it's only when the animal feels threatened?

Clearly, political correctness is the true evil of Resident Evil. Or RE. REEEEEEEEEE!

....get it? /s

Mod note: "just kidding" for an 'autistic screech' joke isn't going to fly here, regardless of who is the target of said joke.

IDK my animals 101, but most of them don't try to actively harm human to begin with.

The classic outfit is preorder bonus. I wish they incorporated the skirt in the new design.

Oh, that makes sense.

Here's a hot take, I don't like Jill's redesign outfit. She looks too much like Lara Croft now.

What's with Capcom and their evil Albert W. spreading viruses? I swear the next Stryder will have a bad guy named Albert Williams trying to spread Ebola.

It might be because Terminator: Dark Fate was a recent thing, but in my mind, Jill looks much older than she probably should be since she has the Sarah Connor hair.

If that's what it takes to get a new Strider I'm all for it.

Grand Master Meio is now Grand Master Albert Wyat. Meio was just being redundant anyways.

I've finished Resident Evil 3. This is the first RE game I beat with tank controls. Took me 7 hours and 25 minutes without resets.

Raccoon City is not as interesting as the mansion or the train to me. My favorite section is ironically the hospital thanks to the new Hunters. I finally saw them decapitating someone.

Nemesis is just as awesome as hyped... as long as I have the option to run from him. Running away from him is really an adrenaline rush; it's awesome. Being forced to fight him, however, is pretty underwhelming. The Nemesis boss fights boil down to holding the aim button and mashing the action button. The tank controls make running around Nemesis a hassle, especially in narrow corridors. After kicking Nemesis' ass so many time, he loses his luster fast.

The game isn't really as scary as REmake, partially because of the low-polygon models. Zombies feel kind of cartoonish in this game. Zombies breaking through windows are still a classic, however, and I prefer this game's Hunters to REmake's.

The cutscenes are really impressive for the time. They are not out of place from PS2 games. My favorite is the zombies swarming around the sales office.

Next up is Resident Evil 2. I will go Leon A Claire B.

Original RE 2 is a lot easier I'll say. So easy you'll probably want to do Claire A Leon B afterward for fun.

Also go with the PSX Dual Shock, Gamecube, Sourcenext PC or Dreamcast versions if you want the most bang for your buck.

Original RE2 is easy enough if you know all the patterns and paths. I used to have fun inviting my friends over to watch me S-rank it, which requires completing both stories in 2 and a half hours each without saving. (I had no life, sue me.)

How do you finish any of those games without saving?

lots of practice and a Night to kill

The original RE games aren't particularly long once you know where to go and how to do the puzzles

I can finish 1 on Normal without saving. As Jill, anyway. As long as you know when to use which ammo then everything goes down quickly. The only tricky parts are the dogs.

REmake Chris update

Rebecca's supplies ran out, which I'm not very concerned with. Chris is down to 1 Defensive Item, which I am very concerned with. At least Chris has two dozens shotgun shells now. I only have to worry about 3 dogs before I reach the residence.

I'm okay with the lack of miniskirt but I did notice its absence.

I'm more shocked that we barely got a look at Nemesis. Also, surprised that this game appears to be so far along. Didn't RE 2's remake come out like a few months ago?

Suggestion for anyone training in Resi 2: Watch a Rage Quitter 87 playthrough or speedrun to get a good idea of what to do or where to go next. Also Carcinogen's vids are good for studying too.

Either they are reusing a shit ton of assets or the game was in production as the same time as 2

I'll pass on that.

(2) ...considering this is getting packaged with Resistance that's slightly concerning.

Well. Better a new game than a few DLC chapters plopped into RE 2 I guess.

So was there a second team at Capcom working on this or did the RE 2 remake team immediately get to work on this after finishing 2? I'm not concerned though since 3 will be able to reuse a lot from 2, and assuming they started immediately that's still over a year in development time.

Really the only downside from the trailer is learning Todd Haberkorn is a VO in the game.

To be honest, RE 3's origins are practically using RE 2 as basis, despite having unique locations.

Also I forgot, I know RE 3 takes place in 2 days, but did she come first before Claire/Leon in the RPD? So she was the one responsible for making certain areas hard to reach? haha

She did. She ends up walking past Marvin whose passed out and she assumes he's dead.

Finished the Residence. It's still the easiest portion of the game as as Chris. This time, however, there is a big difference: Chris has to spend a dozen shotgun shells on Plant 42.
