Galerians has interesting points but goddamn does it have some really boring points, too. And the voice-acting is truly RE1 Levels. I might recommend just watching Retsupurae commenting over it

I've always heard good things about Deep Fear, though.

Also does Onimusha: Warlords count? I love that game. One of the first PS2 games I ever had. And the music is just incredible. The man who did the infamous RE1 Director Cut OST also did this, or kinda. I forget the whole deal with him but he lied or plagiarized or something. Point is, they cut out his OST from the remaster and that is a drat shame.

I didn't say it was good.

I mentioned Cold Fear I’m not concerned about good either.

supergreatfriend has played through a whole bunch of very bad classic-style RE clones so just pulling from his channel: Carrier, Lifeline, Martian Gothic Unification, The Ring Terror’s Realm.

SelenicMartian in the LP forum just did X-Files Resist or Serve and that was also very bad.

If you’ve never played Dino Crisis (the first one) that’s an extremely good RE clone that was made by Capcom itself. The second is good as well but it’s way more action game than survival horror game and in that respect it actually veers closer to RE4, just with the classic camera angles.

I remember playing some anime styled game on the PS1 about an appropriately anime special forces group fighting terrorists in a future office building? There were guns but it was also a beat-‘em-up depending on your character I think? It was one of those games which took its title from the terrible acronym of the special forces group. Does anyone remember that? I don’t think it was BAD but also maybe not good?

That list is not your friend.

Play Dino Crisis and Parasite Eve 2. Maybe toss Fear Effect in there if you're feeling dangerous. Galerians has some neat ideas and visuals, but is a very low priority. Onimusha also owns, but it's as much a proto-Devil May Cry as it is a Resident Evil.

I think you're talking about T.R.A.G. I've never played it, but it looks janky in an interesting way at least.

Have a look at Cold Fear if you want the blandest possible copy of RE4.

Cold Fear isn't a copy, it was released two months after RE4 so there's no chance in hell there was enough dev time to be inspired by it.

It was however, meant to be the fifth Alone in the Dark game but the developers lost the rights, so part of the reason Cold Fear is so messy is because it's made from what assets they could repurpose.

I liked the ship setting at the start, with your aim constantly swaying as the ship rolls.

Then you end up in a generic lab for the other 2/3 of the game and that goes away.

It's a very weird game, I bought it alongside a copy of Parasite Eve 2 although here in the UK it was called Hard Edge. It's anime cyberpunk Die Hard that plays like a pre-RE4 resident evil with some of the most atrocious voice acting I've heard, even worse than og RE1 because it's bereft of campy charm but still hilarious in its delivery. Also it has very light RPG elements iirc like health and weapon upgrades. CavemanDCJ ran it at SGDQ back in 2019 with Studio and Punchy on the couch and poor Punchy couldn't even stay awake through it.

I believe it was developed for some time as just an adventure game with no zombies at all until, well, you know. That at least feels possible because everything about the combat felt very tacked on.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


Deep fear actually does rule though. It's solid, short, and doesn't overstay its welcome too much.

It even does most RE tropes decently well, down to the transforming, blobby final boss.

Will the Resident Evil 4 remake on PS4 have any sort of online play? I haven't played an RE game since the original 4 on PS2 and I don't have any idea if the newer games can be played online. But it would be cool to play co-op online as Leon, Ada and Krauser etc.

RE5, 6, and RE Revelations 2 are all on PS4 and built around being played co-op. They're similar to RE4 too.

The newer stuff since RE7 though, I don't think there's any. RE3 Remake had an asymmetrical pvp multiplayer that I never played.

Code Veronica

e: Also it kind of feels like not much was accomplished in this game. Claire was trying to find her brother and it turns out he was just someplace else. There's an insane Umbrella Corp type who needs to be taken down but that's always the case. Kind of a step down from the two Raccoon City games. I don't blame them for making this a side game, Nemesis a better trilogy capper than this.

The game has too much goddamn plot. It introduces Spencer as the evil genius madman who wants to take over the world, his buddy Ashford, his evil kids, another variant of the T-Virus, the concept of Umbrella having a secret holocaust prison island, and an Antarctic base, and Wesker's back because of a virus, and he planned this all along and he has superpowers because of the virus, and he's working for some other organization, and Alexia can control tentacles and bugs with telepathic virus magic. It's way too much poo poo that gets no room to breathe. The REmake and 0 went back and rewrote history to fit this poo poo in. The story got stupid here.

RE1-3 was a good story about a disastrous attempt by a morally bankrupt corporation to cover up a chemical spill.

They immediately bring it back at the end of 4 with Wesker saying "Umbrella's one step closer to re-establishment" (I just looked this up) In 5, Chris wipes the dust off an old logo and it's a big plot point that Umbrella found a flower in a cave, and Spencer made a bunch of Weskers. 6 has Neo-Umbrella. 7 has Blue Umbrella. 8 shows you Spencer got the idea for Umbrella from the village from that very game. There's also Umbrella Chronicles and Umbrella Corps.

They absolutely cannot let Umbrella go.

There is also the fact that a giant evil inhuman corporation that controls cities and is run by an insane madman with weird delusions of grandeur has just become more and more relevant as a bad guy organization. The only real difference between Spencer and Elon Musk is that Spencer's insane bullshit actually works.

We saw him do the roundhouse kick and it looked really weak compared to the original. I'm hoping that they've expanded on the melee attacks in some way, because that aspect was really disappointing to see.
