The Resident Evil 4 VR remake is also really good. They put the mercenaries mode in like 6 months back. I had trouble with the original but had a blast with it in VR.

Oh the VR version is great, I wasn't even really thinking about VR versions as remakes but if they count I definitely need to qualify my previous statement lol. Dual wielding guns and firing blindly behind you while rapidly stabbing a dude on the ground ftw, and also in the game

5 was the racist one. 6 was the one that was way too long.

6 wasn't too long, imo. It was 4 (5?) weird and short games rushed out by a bunch of separate teams that barely communicated. So it felt excruciating as a whole.

Frank Frank posted:

That was the one with the Ada Wong scenario then that was just a string of endless action set pieces? God I owned Operation Raccoon City and played the gently caress out of it. What am I doing with my life?

The best part of the Ada scenario in 6 is that they had to make all the scenarios co-op like RE5, and instead of giving her a partner like everyone else has, if you co-op it's just some faceless guy in miltech armor who stands around like a golem

Feels Villeneuve posted:

re5 was considered "somewhat racist" back before it was a big press topic, I can't imagine how badly it comes off now

I've seen some blind playthroughs of RE5 in recent years and the trajectory is always "Oh this isn't as bad as I expected." Followed by them entering the village where everyone's "regressed" into grass skirts, tribal masks, and chucking spears around and going "Ohhhh noooo...."

It sucks because Sheva is a really cool. I don't know how they'd do a remake of 5 without drastically reworking the whole back half of the game though. The bits that aren't racist are completely dull shooting galleries. Maybe they'll clean up the first REmake? Or jump to Code Veronica and just redo that one in full first?

Yep, the VR remake is what I played most recently and it owns hard.

My favorite memory of 5 is playing co-op with a friend. We hit the end-game and I was baked out of my gourd and could not process the final QTE with Wesker at the end forcing us to replay from the airplane over and over again and my friend going “JESUS gently caress DUDE”

Not sure where I was going with that

It was something like twice as long as 5 if you played all four campaigns. Maybe not too long in an object sense but too long for the kind of experience they were delivering.

Yeah if you never played RE4 and don't like the idea of somewhat dated mechanics (shitloads of QTEs since it kinda invented those, have to stop to shoot mainly) then the remake is probably the way to go. The original was pretty near perfect as was and the remake doesn't really make it worse in any way outside of some minor things.

my favorite is the big confrontation between Chris and Leon where Chris is like "do you have any idea what's going on!?" and Leon responds "yeah, I do, trust me," where if you're playing Chris' campaign first, you'll assume that, yeah, ok, Chris hasn't really been paying attention or asking questions, maybe Leon has some context that squares everything. Then you play Leon's story and he is somehow even less looped in than Chris lmao

For me the big thing separating RE5 and 6 is 5 is an absolute slog and painful experience solo but solo RE6 is still fine. Co-op is obviously the way to go for both but after doing a solo run for the first time recently of both games it really stood out how dull RE5 is moment to moment when you aren't chatting it up with a friend. Having to give Sheva ammo and guns also really sucked rear end lol.

Yeah I played both solo and having to manage Sheva's inventory sucks rear end, RE6 getting rid of managing your AI partner's stuff was a really good change

I played ORC with 2 friends and we all voted to kill Leon but for some reason it put 2 of us on the kill side and the last person + bot on the protect Leon side and the bot was like an aimbot made of titanium and couldn't be killed and instantly murked us lol.

Hey now, at least they attempted to give Chris' fanboy a very tragic and moving death at the end of their campaign. He was an object who was acknowledged to exist within the confines of the story.

5 was pretty short compared to 4 though, to be fair. But yeah 4 and 5 both feel way better to play than most of 6. The only part of 6 that was remotely fun was the Sherry/Linkin Park chapter because Linkin Park had a decent and unique hand-to-hand combat style.

Chris acting like Elmer Fudd desperate to kill Ada Wong's Bugs Bunny and shaking his fist every time she got away was great, even if it was an incredibly dumb way to drive a wedge between Leon and Chris.
