Resident Evil 1 original is better than the remake:
>the mansion is more unique and looks and feels like an empty front for a lab built in the 60's
>no spooky lightning, cobwebs, skulls and nosferatu tombs that don't fit at all with story
>the mansion in the remake looks like it was abandoned a decade ago rather than a few months
>lisa trevor feels out of place and adds nothing
>the remake is full of padding and bloat (the magnum "puzzle", nitroglycerin, lisa trevor cabin, third trip to the mansion etc)
>better art direction and colors in the og
>lockpick nerfed making the game more linear and the two campaigns more similar
The only positive thing I think the remake brought were the crimson heads/body burning. I thought that was genious.

I agree but /v/ isn't ready to hear this.

the truth hurts bozo

REmake 1 is great, but it's not a replacement for the 1996 RE1. It's the "NG++" for the veteran fans of the series; it relies on the assumption that the player has beaten the OG trilogy.

>>716520265
Funny, considering that /v/ is known to be contrarian for the sake of it. And Re1 remake is widely accepted to be superior.

Just say you want an RE thread, you don't need to rage bait

i am a massive shitter and always die in the beginning people make it look so easy

>>716521574
Good point. A lot of the design in the remake assumes the player is familiar with the original. The dog window fakeout is a prime example.

>>716521926
out of the three, re1 is the medium one. re2 is easy and re3 is hard.

>re3 is hard.
You get a shotgun 3 minutes into the game and a grenade launcher or magnum 10 minutes after that

>>716524550
It's hard compared to the previous two. More complex aswell.

>>716520131 (OP)
I played the Gamecube version first when I was a little bitch. Older, I see myself replaying the ps1 version often and never touching the remake. So I agree.

>>716525420
I also played the gc version first. While it was good, if it dissappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't care. Can't say the same for the og.

>>716525890
Yeah, that's a better way in saying it.

>>716520131 (OP)
You are 100% correct.
One thing I always like about the original mansion, is the color coding of the different parts of it.
It made it was easier to remember and recognize the different rooms in the house.
In the remake.. everything just looks fucking brown and dark.

>>716520131 (OP)
The DEmake is only dick sucked by cubies because the shitcube didn’t have backwards compatibility and they only had the soulless ass demake to play.

>>716527282
I would honestly be willing to surrender all my other points if they just made it with the original mansion aesthetics and removed the bizzarre gothic shit like lisa, tombs, chains etc.
>>716527664
Great graph. Can't believe I forgot to include that in my op.

>>716527664
And that is just Jill. Chris has also been streamlined. You can only encounter Rebecca in one place instead of two amd are not given the choice of weather she follows you or not. That choice opened a whole can of worms on its own in the original regarding how things go down.

You're nigger bots trained on the archives to ruin proper discussion.

>>716520131 (OP)
If the remake had been PS2 exclusive everyone would pretend the PS1 original never happened

>>716530545
What discussion? Barely anyone interacts with the thread. All people talk about are gacha shit and e celebs.

>>716527664
Not true. REmake was THE holy grail of all RE-fans for over a decade. It was also THE first major remake of this caliber, and the one game that kickstarted the remake boom.

It's literally what all fans of any retro tile have ever asked from a more modern recreation of their favorite game: true to OG gameplay and story- wise, with smart additions and changes to keep old fans entertained.

>>716530767
It's out on all major systems now amd that hasn't happened.

>>716520131 (OP)
I beat every "classic" RE game once and I will never play them again.

>>716520131 (OP)
Yup, I played both back to back and the OG is more fun. REslop is just padded to hell and back because gaycube has no games

Burning bodies was shit. It made the games simple mechanics a tedious slog.

Muh flipping crimson zombierinos were just shit and tedious

>>716534768
Don't blame the cube. It was a good console with genuinely fun games. All 10 of them.

>>716535198
"Tedious" is a good word to describe REmake in general. That and "padding".

>>716520131 (OP)
They are different i also think the original is better but the remake has big bobbie jill jiggle

>>716520131 (OP)
One of the worst thing that REmake did was make the pistol useless 95% of the time because of the Crimson Head mutation. Either you dodge, knife them into one pile and burn or just shotgun them.

>>716530767
Thank god it was a multiplat, Sony brownies are insufferable niggers.

>>716535545
This.

I can play the OG in one sitting everythibg works well with the game

Remake is just annoying so many "momentum"

>>716536816
Momentum blocking moments makes the pacing of game is completely shot*

>>716520131 (OP)
don't know about any of that, but i'm certain i'll enjoy the remake when i get around to playing it, since i really liked original.

That whole segment where you go allll the way to the dead end to get the crank then go alllll the way back to progress (add on top of this the absolutely moronic, time wasting magnum non - puzzle) is the first time I noticed that a game was insulting my intelligence. Even as a kid who blindly loved every game I played, I noticed that they were stretching the game out artificially.

I didn't like having to lug around the fuel canteen (+lighter as Jill). It was tedious having to keep refilling, withdrawing, and depositing the fuel. Invo space was already tight to begin with.

Also, the fight with Lisa was so lame. If I remember correctly, you just push a stone pillar off a cliff.

>>716520131 (OP)
what are the best RE1-style games? I liked parasite eve 2 and this game too much

>>716537810
Sega's Deep Fear was very solid and underrated.

>>716520131 (OP)
>beating Demake game adds a permanent fast zombie you cant attack or you explode
ODZ was absolute fucking horseshit

>>716520131 (OP)
For me it's the sound design
Remake looks better but sounds like absolute shit
Also if anyone plays Remake 1 and RE:0 with "alternate" controls you didn't beat the game and you should just chop your own hands off you fucking queer
