Discuss RE, old and new How disappointing will RE9 be considering Capcoms latest products and RE4 lacking in terms of atmosphere and edgy writing? You can just edit OPs that aren't completely half assed Zoom, ffs
>>1552130 I still need to play those
>>1552323 PE novel is amazing. must read the movie is ok but forgettable PE1 is great, the soundtrack and atmosphere are amazing but the story is lame and it butchered a lot of the concepts established in the novel (like Eve being able to possess a kidney) PE2 and 3B suck as PE games and have absolutely nothing to do with the novel (Eve is not even in them), but PE2 is a great RE game.

>>1552341 >like Eve being able to possess a kidney
>>1552359 I never played the games and even I know that's just scratching the surface of the craziness of PE. >>1552341 I thought PE2 was still pretty close to what PE1 was unlike that 3B abomination?
>>1552661 PE2 had no ideas or concepts from the novel and had absolutely nothing to do with the novel at all. Eve (neither the mother nor the child) were in the game and also doesn't have Christmas Eve (crucial date for both novel and first game). It's just a random generic survivor horror with PE slapped on the title.
>>1552864 Thanks Still worth plauing though right?
>>1560279 Read the novel Watch the move Play the first game Don't bother with the other two.

"Leon, you dense motherfucker. Can I possibly make it more plain?"
>>1587637 Leon's shirt is far too loose 3/10
How are the GOG versions of the ps1 Resident Evil games?
>>1715676 Pretty good but you should still install the Rebirth mods on top of them. https://classicrebirth.com/ Dino Crisis 1/2 play better with Duckstation as it fixes a ton of polygon clipping, so if you don't have a toaster I'd recommend that. Nothing wrong with the native PC option though.
I NEED Eveline to sit on my face.

>>1715758 Fuck yeah Duckstation, been playing Digimon World 3 lately and the fast forward feature is so nice. >>1587637 Leon looks done with her shit
Am I the only one who thought Requiem looked good based on the short Youtube reveal? I don't even have a PS5 and it looks like one of the better upcoming games. It's following Village which was an amazing title. Maybe I can get it on Steam or whatever when it comes out.
>>1963133 They've shown nothing but walking sim trash and Village was mediocre. Not being able to backtrack after the boss was the worst thing. I feel nothing for this franchise anymore after 4
Did PrayDog ever manage to make a proper first person VR mode for RE4? I think Sony put the screws to him after he embarrassed them with the RE7 mod, and got the drop on them with RE8 before the PSVR2's "killer app" could be launched... but it's been a few years and PSVR2 failed anyhow. There's no point in maintaining VR exclusivity.
>>1963236 Nope, and thus no first person mod as well. Thanks Sony!
>>1963133 I'm not a big fan of the Ethan Winters games. RE7 is okay and I get the series was in a weird place around the time that game was made but RE8 was a mess. RE9 at least seems to be bringing the series slightly back to established roots with Raccoon City and since Grace is related to a legacy character, even if it is one from Outbreak. However the gameplay still is way too close to the Winters games for my liking. I was kind of hoping they were done with that and the remakes would set the tone for what RE9 would be. A lot of people, myself included, still think there's another shoe that hasn't dropped with RE9 marketing since what they've shown so far seems incredibly threadbare.
>>1964365 Probably just a sequence where you control someone like Leon and it's pure Action Mode and that'll be the setpiece of the game since RE7 and RE8 did it.
>>1964365 >However the gameplay still is way too close to the Winters games for my liking. I was kind of hoping they were done with that and the remakes would set the tone for what RE9 would be You never noticed how OG shifted into action with the 4th entry and how that era shifted into the failed VR era with the 7th? Wonder what stupid shit Crapcom will do with the 10th entry.
>>1968279 I don't even know what the fuck they're doing with the 9th entry. What the fuck even is it? Why is there a spoopy monster witch thing in Racoon City? Is it another retardation Magical Mold bullshit? Why is the gameplay walking simulator trash? If it's running from invincible enemy shit like in RE7 again it's going to be shit.
>>1112552 i wanna fug mila jolovich but 30 years ago but i'd still take her today i guess

>>1968384 >The first Resident Evil movie was 23 years ago
>>1968296 >I don't even know what the fuck they're doing with the 9th entry. What the fuck even is it? I don't even think Capcom knows >Why is there a spoopy monster witch thing in Racoon City? A bedlam house in the Arklay area, if we want to be pedantic. I think the ruins of Raccoon City is something else. >Why is the gameplay walking simulator trash? Modern Horror >If it's running from invincible enemy shit like in RE7 again it's going to be shit. That's the one thing we're sure of, aside from Villlage and the Demakes all being shit for one reason or another. So, yes. It's shit on arrival.

>>1968422 Shit dude, where has the time gone? I remember watching it with my little sisters when we were young and laughing about how stupid the stunts were. We're old men now I guess.
>>1978415 So sorry to hear your sisters transitioned 😞
I really don't like the way the RE franchise is being handled lately. Not for gay fake reasons like most people here, but like, look at this >1996 to 2005 6 Mainline Titles 1 Remake 6 Spin-offs >2006 to 2016 4 Mainline Titles (Revelations counts) 0 Remakes 5 Spinoffs >2017 to 2026 3 Mainline titles 3 Remakes 0 Spin-offs Feels like we've been in the great decade of nothing fucking happening. Worse still is the fact that the newest numbered title is transparently more based on the remakes than the originals.
>>1992772 Anon the inflation of game dev time is an existential problem to the whole industry and something that harms my psyche directly as someone in middle age. Now, in fairness, it's a lot easier to make a 2 hour game with simple geometry, ai and per-rendered backgrounds than actually making 3D stuff, but if we could go back to like...6th gen levels I'd be happy.
>>1992821 My issue isn't that though, it's that 50% of all RE games that will have been made in this third decade of the franchise will have been remakes.
>>1992825 I'm gonna be real, there's a part of me that doesn't want to even consider the Winters games RE games.
>>1992830 I don't see how they're meaningfully lesser RE games than the remakes of 2-4 honestly.
>>1992836 Remakes feel like RE4-5. Winters games feel like Outlast but they give you a few guns.
>>1992839 The remakes really don't feel like RE4-5. They feel like RE7 and 8 with some ideas pulling on Revelations 1 and 2 (and definitely not 4 and 5).
>>1992846 I don't really think of the Revelations duology as good retrospectively, considering one was a handheld game and the other feels more like a stripped down RE6 (still the worst in the franchise right next to Operation Raccoon City) with less shit enemies. I'm not seeing the Revelations games, or the problems with the Revelations games, in the demakes of 2-4, except for the ability to move and shoot simultaneously (a standard either Revelations 1 or RE6 set depending on which came first).
>>1994409 Similarity in level design, overall structure, enemy design, and usage of 'meme' mechanics (i.e., shit that adds nothing to the game but is forced in anyways). Like how all of the games now have light crafting elements, breakable knives in 2 and 4, the dodge in 3, the parry in 4, none of these are good, and these are piled ontop of consistently spongy and uninteresting to fight enemies. There's maybe about two or three boss fights in the whole of the remake trilogy that doesn't feel like a Revelationslike bullet sponge.
