Thread 12013989

how did they screw this up so badly?

They made a Resident Evil game. All Resident Evil games suck. Silent hill mogs the shit out of the series.

>>12013991
You're right, but RE4 mogs all of Silent Hill thoughevermore

what's up with the terrible resident evil threads? are you really that lonely?

>>12014069
historically universally acclaimed? you mean code veronica?

>>12013989 (OP)
rushed, and nobody thought it through whether it was a good idea to add double the number of items just to add playtime

>>12014509
It designed to be subvert your expectations. Unironically.
Are we at the point where people are going to be contrarian about remake?

>>12014532.
the *amount* of added time in remake managing inventory is nuts, because there are double the amount of puzzle items while the inventory slots for chris and jill are the same as the original. you are constantly running back and forth.

there are many more cases in remake where you have to squeeze through an area and killing is unavoidable. and i’m not talking about kerosene for burning zombies, i get that’s optional. the main issue with inventory is the extra puzzle items, not the means of dispatching zombies. in the original game you have a lot more leeway and ability to move forward in progress without constantly needing to go back and forth. there’s really no reason at all other than artificially elongating the experience for there to be as many extra puzzle items when the outcomes are the same. it’s shit design.

re 1-3 don’t have that problem, they keep it moving much better. remake taxes you and wrecks the flow of the game. don’t try to fucking tell me i should be cool with this because that’s how re games just are, because yeah they all have the item management but not to the retarded degree that remake does that adds way too much time and sucks the fun out.

>>12014532
It's apparently the new shitposting angle, yeah.

>>12013989 (OP)
1. Nadir of the RE series where the formula was seen as stale and repetitive.
2. Remake of a game only 6 years old and was seen as needless.
3. Released on the LameCube only (biggest mistake).

Xbox and PS2 releases would have given it 3 million more sales making it more financially successful.

>>12013989 (OP)
Holy fucking based
>um this critically loved game? It’s actually bad lol.

Would have been better to have a Normal mode that's just a straightforward, no bullshit remake of the original game. Then put all the retarded additional garbage into an Arranged mode.

>um this critically loved game? It’s actually bad lol

Okay, enough with Super metroid

it insists upon itself

The bait on this board is getting repetitive and boring. These days it's just "beloved game is actually bad"

>>12014603
No, the graphics jump for 6 years was huge. A remake made sense.
The problem was they kept the awful fixed perspective and tank controls.

>>12014769
Yeah, it would have been better as another game with a generic over the shoulder camera. There aren't enough of these

>>12014769
Would have been better on the RE4 engine.

>>12013989 (OP)
I could ask the same thing with Twin Snake.

>>12014582
>everyone who has an opinion i don’t like is shitposting
when you get done samefagging your post, you can chime in with an opinion or stfu

>>12014630
why do you feel the need to post 10 times just to establish that critics liked this (it wasn’t a consensus) or that it’s verboten to criticize because it’s some supreme treasure. it’s not, it’s an re remake. you’re terrified of someone not liking your precious critical darling sacred cow

>>12015029
...but twin snakes is better

>>12014760
it’s not bait. grow up and read the thread and address the valid critiques or shut up, child

>>12015045
there aren't any, you're just a mincing faggot with a mouth full of cock and a head full of farts

>>12013989 (OP)
They didn't, which is why you're gonna act like an inbred contrarian and pretend they did

>>12015062
there’s that word contrarian again, which doesn’t apply here because there is no consensus. anyone can play it today and realize it sucks, it realize they love it. you’re attempting to gatekeep the allowable opinion and insisting it’s not able to be critiqued. that’s extremly gay and lame, anon.

>>12015029
you can and i agree. it’s a bad remake that was not necessary.

>>12014538
That’s the point.

>>12015089
>there is no consensus
REmake is widely considere the best remake ever made
if that's not a consensus i don't know what is. not sure why i even bother replying to bait

>>12015172
>widely considere the best remake ever made
can you provide the source that magically collects all data and grants the game impervious to critique status. nah, you’re just a zoomie metacritic retard. your post looks like bait, you don’t even attempt to articulate what is great about the game. you didn’t address a single critique itt.

>>12015190
>muh source
i see you weren't born when it was released lmao

>>12015190
>provide the source
People who were teenagers in the 00s don't need a source because they were there

>>12015198
>>12015206
this is not an argument. i was alive in my 20s and played it and read the reviews, it was not given a perfect score by any magazine i had. mostly it was viewed as too little too late abnd time to reconsider the tank controls. it wasgiven great praise for graphics and sfx. it was not hailed as a classic. methinkd you two, or one samefag, are full of shit.

>>12015217
>zoomer who was still shitting himself when the game came out only has magazine reviews for reference
Actual RE fans were calling it the best classic RE before the whole "REmake is actually bad" contrarian thing started about 5-10 years ago

>>12015226
No they weren't. They were calling Code Veronica the best classic RE.

>>12015226
i am an actual re fan. my friends were too. we were let down by it. it looked astonishing but it played annoyingly and we wanted it to better but it wasn’t. you didn’t talk to every living fan so this autistic stretch to appeal to some memory is absurd.

>>12015236
lol

>>12015239
it isn’t entirely inaccurate, the game got the rare 10/10 review in game informer and a bunch of 10’s or 9’s from others. it was very well-received. nobody ever said ‘classic re’ back then, obviously. i remember some friends who didn’t beat it because they weren’t prepared for how much longer it gets. but i had more friends who returned remake to electronic boutique because they felt like it wasn’t innovating enough and kind of felt ripped off. 2 was the only one in those days that mostly everybody said was perfect

>>12013989 (OP)
>how did they screw this up so badly?

- No female zombies.

- Not avaible anymore the cheat of getting more bullets like in the director cut version.

- Not avaible anymore the infinite magnum bullets if you beat the game in hard mode like in the director cut version.

- The drama of lisa trevor.

- Is still unsolved why if you play as chris barry never returns and if you play as jill rebecca never appears. They could have done a new ending where chris, jill, barry and rebecca they all escape along in the helicopter, but they missed the chance of creating that new ending.

>>12015491
>No female zombies
>Not avaible anymore the cheat of getting
Good morning zombiefucker sir

>how did they screw this up so badly?
no reasonable person would frame the problems with remake this way.

The only one who screwed up everything was OP who made a low quality bait and everyone shat on its face, what a failure of a person.

>>12015554
they screwed up remaking the game. nothing unreasonable about that framing.

>>12015491
no good or bad ending. yeah it’s just one ending and it’s not the canon ending. it’s really stupid that they couldn’t manage that when the playstation game did.

>>12015605
>no good or bad ending. yeah it’s just one ending
There are less branching paths but the amount of endings is literally the same
Thanks for letting us know you didn't play the game though

>>12013989 (OP)
They didn't. The original RE was clunky as fuck, had genuinely embarrassing cutscenes and is the only game in the franchise that I prefer the remake over.

>>12013989 (OP)
I've always said it was just okay. It looks pretty and that's it. Everything else is downgraded. But I'm surprised this opinion has stuck with the rest of /vr/. It's kind of a high IQ requirement opinion, so it's strange that /vr/ has latched onto it

>>12015701
>It's kind of a high IQ requirement opinion, so it's strange that /vr/ has latched onto it
It's a low IQ contrarian opinion so It's not strange at all that /vr/ has latched onto it

>>12015605
the canon ending or best ending would be if all characters are on the helicopter. they didn’t fix that in the remake. you see one or the other surviving character per who you play as. it’s the same as the original game. so there still is no ‘canon ending’

>>12015605
>it’s really stupid that they couldn’t manage that when the playstation game did.

The idea is they had the chance to fix that in the remake, the remake was their chance to put a canon ending where all the main characters survive, but they missed their chance of putting that ending. Either barry dies before entering the mansion(if you play as chris) or rebecca never existed(if you play as jill).

>>12013989 (OP)
i played the xbox 1 version of this a few years back, is this the same as the gamecube version posted in the OP???


anyway i was excited to try it i remember how hyped up this "remake" was when it came out. i even remember seeing it at hollywood video and blockbuster to rent but being too afraid to get it. (i was young at the time)

so esentially i had years of high hopes before finally playing it and it was dogshit. i dont know if i will ever play it again a second time, it was ridiculously tedious. i played as chris and i remember every 5 minutes there was a new puzzle or something and i felt more like i was playing a puzzle game than a zombie game. pacing was completely off. i may or may not play it a second time as jill before throwing the disc in the trash. i have never played the original ps1 version so im more interested in playing that than playing the remake again as jill. i suspect its a better experience with more inventory with all the retarded shit you need to bring with you.

the game had a few good moments i wont lie but there are way too many flaws for me to suggest this to anyone and honestly im surpised it got through playtesting in the state it shipped in. its just tedious for the sake of being tedious and wasting your time.

They call THIS the king of the jungle? What were they THINKING!? When I imagined the shark encounter in the original, I expected something similar but maybe a little goofy yet still intimidating/scary -- but this is a fucking joke. The REmake shark encounter is so much fucking better, particularly the rotunda like design of the area. Anyone who says RE1 > Remake is a contrarian, flatout.

>>12016021
I played tomb raider 2 before this and the sharks in that game were way scarier

>>12016034
It maybe is a "you had to be there" moment, but I can't even believe people back then would've been scared by these tiny ass things. Tomb Raider isn't technically horror but it had way scarier stuff.

>>12016021
>shark
>king of the jungle

>>12013989 (OP)
This is one of the greatest remakes of all time. You have no idea what you are talking about.

>>12015045
>valid critiques
I have yet to see any
>waaaaah they added more content
Stfu you dopamine depleted faggots

>>12015992
Look man, it was way more important to shoehorn a Silent Hill reject and a bunch of empty rooms into the game than to make a coherent ending that ties into the rest of the series.

>>12016086
here is a valid critique
>>12014538
but still you’re a bitch and a liar

>>12016021
samefag says contrarian again
meltdown

Resident Evil Remake is dogshit. Ocarina of Time is diarrhea. Super Mario World is absolute poop.
My favorite game? It's got to be Superman 64, now that's an absolute gem.

>>12016021
that looks dumb lmao

>>12016651
the thread broke you

>>12016658
more like remake broke you, considering half the thread is your assblasted replies kek

>>12016040
>Tomb Raider isn't technically horror but it had way scarier stuff.
yeah, it had that ps1 pitch black darkness

Did the Keeper's Diary really need a "mature" revision?

>>12016021
that part of the game is like 20 minutes long. Sure but hardly makes a dent on the larger discussion

>>12016662
remake sent me to sleep with how boring it is

>>12015029
this and remake came from the same place. Nintendo paying off Konami/Capcom after the PS1 destroyed them
