I loving loved the RE2 Remake but I actually think the Dead Space one is a better remake than that was (so far at least, doesn't sound like it's likely to poo poo the bed either) which I didn't think I'd be saying 2 weeks ago. The 2 remake was great but the B scenarios were a bit of an afterthought and as a comparison to the original, that part was a bit of a disappointment. Still a truly great game but if I'm evaluating them on the basis of "how much did they take every aspect of the original while improving what needed to be improved" then the Dead Space one is better.

I think the difference for me is that the RE2 remake is so far removed from the original that it might as well be a completely new game. Dead Space remake basically takes the original and improves it in every way whereas RE2 remake rebuilds it from the ground up into something different.

This is my thinking as well and its why I put REmake 2 just slightly ahead of DSR. Motive did a great job but they ultimately just took the same game, sanded off the rough edges, and gave it a fresh coat of paint. RE2 was actively transformational and I had to give more credit to it for that alone.

Man I really wish publishers would synch up their promotions on platforms. Thanks to this thread I got a hankering to play the RE3 Remake which I've never played. It's 75% off on Steam right now, that's nice! But I'd prefer to play it on the big screen on a console so let's see how much it's on the PlayStation. 40 bucks, full price. OK how about the Xbox? 40 bucks, full price.

God, I hated that in the original, I think it frustrated me enough to just quit for the evening. This is what makes it a good remake, because it was clearly a case of the developers not feeling lashed to the original game. They looked at what was fun and not fun, with the latter being things like the turret sequence and node doors, and changed it to work better with the systems they have. Going back through rooms to check for locked security containers is annoying if you try and get all of them, but wandering by a level 3 door you can now open is actually good.

Ineffiable posted:Okay I finished my first playthrough of Dead Space Remake and it's good. Very good. It sounds similar to REmake - a game I consider the best remake of all time for some of the reasons you've highlighted here. REmake is the only remake of a game I've ever played that truly supersedes the original. It takes nothing away, while adding new content in a smart way that enhances the experience without getting in the way or disrupting the flow of the original product. As well as being one of gaming's most impressive visual glow ups (seriously, they were just 5 years apart?), every addition or change to REmake makes it better. It's a high bar that no other game has reached for me - certainly not the other Resident Evil remakes (so far) - but it sounds like Dead Space is in that same ballpark.

I've been seeing people say that the DS remake is *more* of an improvement over the original than the REmakes were, especially on Reddit. Which is really funny to me because in the original Resident Evil 2 the rooms didn't even have four walls.

Vermain posted:i liked my time with RE3R, but it is absolutely a game you should only buy on sale, because you're just not getting that much for a $40 pricetag It's definitely the kind of game you are supposed to play over and over. Which means if you aren't a fan of new new new new game+ then you're going to be a bit short. But at the same time I've put less into more expensive games.

Is it? It's super scripted and one route, it certainly didn't inspire me to play it over and over whereas I did that with RE2R many, many times.

On that note, how well does the DSR spook randomizer thing keep things fresh from one run to the next? (I say as if the original trilogy weren’t my most replayed games ever)

CommunityEdition posted:On that note, how well does the DSR spook randomizer thing keep things fresh from one run to the next? Hell even on my first run after a death some of the necromorphs I dealt with before would be in entirely different spots or just not there, or if I hadn't dealt with any necromorphs before they'd suddenly be in a clear hallway. It's enough to keep you on your toes imo.

Had a couple of times when a fight went pretty bad because I got surprised right after I saved so I'd decide to load my last save and go back prepared to blast and there was nothing there this time lol

Performance wise does it make any real difference for the DS remake to buy it for Xbox series s or PS5?

The PS5 version has really good DualSense effects and probably better 3D headphone sound if those are factors for you. Prior to yesterday the PS5 version had some issues with black levels and anti-aliasing, but they were patched out.

I think this "intensity director" must kick in harder on higher difficulties. I just beat the first DS last year, so my memory of it was fairly fresh, and my first run through the remake on Normal was so familiar to me that it took the overall experience down a couple of notches. Now I'm replaying on Hard and I'm definitely seeing a few more changes, like sudden smoke-filled hallways or enemies that are just there instead of exploding out of the same vent as usual.

I actually almost prefer it as a quick replay over RE2 because of how straight forward it is. But I was also the weird kid in the 90s who played through RE1 and RE2 multiple times a week speed running them.

I've enjoyed the enemy spawns in DS Remake pretty well on Hard. I had a point where I died 3-4 times and each time a different set of enemies spawned in (always 2 tho) and then the last time nothing came which was honestly pretty scary cause of the anticipation I had built up in the last attempts.

I mean. RE4 changed the game for a long time. It would be foolish to expect the same paradigm shift from the remake. It’s still on the rare list of day one buys for me.

Definitely going to be interesting to see how Capcom handles it, RE4 is the first one where they could conceivably do a 'exact same game but better' like DS1 remake and still have it feel like a modern game. And all the recent RE remakes were missing stuff from the originals but they were also remakes of pre-rendered 2D environment PS1 games.

I haven't played Dead Space OR Resident Evil 4 since they first released, so this is a very exciting time. It's been long enough that the original game would almost feel new, but I get to play the tricked out future versions!

It's close to 20 years since I last played Resident Evil 4 so even if the remake changed a lot of stuff I probably wouldn't even remember.

I was this way with DSR, after playing it a while it became very clear that I've spent the intervening years playing up through medical 20 times and then cutting out to do something else because 95% of the game was new to me.

Yeah I just checked, the last time I played any version of re4 was back in December 2012 so ten years for me. The only downside is you have to pay more money for this (versus just replaying the original) but I'd like to support good remakes like this and Dead Space. And the way I see it, is this is probably the only re game we get all year, I'll definitely buy it.
