It's a pretty repetitive game and I did not like it all that much, but at three dollars you really can't go wrong with it.

Blockhouse posted:Resident Evil, a franchise notorious for being full of lengthy games that you play once and never again. Length aside, REmake3 has such little content and polish compared to what we got with REmake2 that $30 is waaaay too much for it. There's no exploration to be done, less environments to go through, giant sections of the original are just cut, the boss fights are terrible and the ending is a yet another lab setting that's been done to death in RE and is taken straight from RE2. I think the game only has 3 puzzles which, come on. There's also very little reason to replay it since the unlocks are pretty dull and the game doesn't change at all save for in the last two modes were enemies and item placement change but not enough to feel like a B game. There's not even any bonus modes. Also Resistance is terrible so that doesn't count as part of the package.

Yeah, that's really the other problem: even without taking into account how short it is, it just isn't as good of a remake as RE2make to begin with. It deviates from the original far more heavily than RE2make deviated from RE2, and in ways that generally make it worse rather than better.

I was fine with them reimagining Claire as Jennifer Lawrence, but Jill suddenly being Milla Jovovich is messing with my head.

I would be fine with saying RE3 was good if it didn't cut out massive sections of the game but it did, so i can't like it. The resistance mode has been fun to watch on youtube while on my lunch breaks though, i'll give it that.

I blocked Cardio so I have no idea what's going on in this thread, which is probably for the best. Given the success of the RE Engine in both Resident Evil and Devil May Cry I keep hearing of people baying for the return of "Dino Crisis". It looks like RE but with Dinosaurs. Does it hold up? Does it have future potential?

I've said so before, but I think it really has something to do with the generally low standards of horror genre fans. When people are willing to buy basically anything so long as it has horror written on it, why bother making good ones when making good horror is actually really hard?

Something at the back of my head was a "Fahrenheit, but without David Cage" where the reason the protagonist is made a murderer was due to an aggressive memetic virus that spreads through specific types of communication (not limited to only digital broadcasts), and you experience the game through the eyes of different characters incl the idiot everyman protag, a rookie police detective dealing with her whole squad dead, and a random older man living in a small rural town caring for his ailing spouse and having to deal with them going insane. No "your lips are so cold, I love you" or the internet being the villain or a guy whose theme music is 70s disco doing kung fu fighting with a Chinese store keeper. But I'd totally keep in the interaction where not kissing your girlfriend good bye would get you a game over lol Also I think the game in my head should require some huge swathes of revisions in light of how America is responding to Covid-19.

A modern PS2 style Silent Hill For me 2 & 3 were the perfect horror games: protagonists caught up in an unfathomable malicious realms, tension and horror without an overabundance of jump scares or becoming helplessness sims, extremely good visual design and strong unconventional stories. I've never played anything again which aligned with my tastes so strongly, miss Team Silent every day

I wouldn't really say I have an ideal horror game, personally, just preferences. To me, one of the big draws of horror as a genre has always been that it's not really a genre of game, it's a genre of theme and mood. That means a lot of different and unusual formats can work well with it, which allows for a lot of creative freedom. It's one of the best things about it: if creators really want to, they can keep it endlessly fresh. The spookiest game I think I've ever personally played is Fatal Frame 2, though, so I guess I can say that this format just works really well for me. The third-person perspective with limited camera angles is exceptionally good at allowing game designers to frame a scene in exactly the right way to get the most out of it visually, which gives it a sense of place and 'there-ness' that I never quite get from games with dynamic camera angles. Coupled with the great mood and design, it just makes for an intense experience. e: oh, and one thing that really gets to me is loneliness. Any game where interact freely with NPCs just doesn't resonate with me the same way, so something like The Saddest Rhino's idea just hasn't got much appeal to me at all. Well, not as horror anyway. "Fahrenheit but not bad" would make for a fun general adventure game. Cardiovorax fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Sep 22, 2020 |

Beware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTCZPgXXXIU Unfortunately the dev seems to be down the rabbithole of obscure secrets and eastern european references rather than polishing/structuring it as a full fledged game.

"Resident Evil but with dinosaurs" is basically exactly what Dino Crisis is, so there's as much potential there as people have interest in dinosaurs. The gameplay formula itself is more than proven to work well.

Inspector Gesicht posted:I blocked Cardio so I have no idea what's going on in this thread, which is probably for the best. My heart of hearts says not really. It's like original PS1 Resident Evil 3 in play style but because they went with fully 3D environments with no Silent Hill fog they can realistically only have one or two enemies on screen at a time. And you're thinking "well, they're dinosaurs they're fast and agile" but surprisingly a raptor is far less threatening than a zombie and there are laser barriers everywhere you can turn on to safely block them. Dino Crisis 2 goes full arcade shooter and it is legit awesome. They go back to pre-rendered graphics allowing multiple enemies on screen and side-by-side with Parasite Eve 2 it's like the prettiest game on the Playstation but unlike PE2 it's intense and fun. Hell, I'd call Dino Crisis 2 the "Resident Evil 4" of its time. The Saddest Rhino posted:What'd be one of your ideal horror game? Something like Thief meets Dark Corners of the Earth. Give me large, explorable but self contained levels with a strong core theme. Dark, solemn, heavily stealth based. Gloomwood is very much shaping up to be Resident Evil Thief but I think the creator is less interested in scaring people than he is providing a general gothic atmosphere which is totally what Thief did but my ideal is a game where enemies can't be taken out with a single club to the head. You're collapsing passages, barricading doors, sort of a Amnesia + Thief? That would be perfect. Groovelord Neato posted:Bloodborne already exists.

I think the problem with horror is that its incredibly subjective. I look dark brooding horror that makes me contemplate my surroundings and environment. My girlfriend likes lovely jump scares. Both are horror. I can't really tell my girlfriend she's wrong for liking lovely jump scares and they are incredibly profitable.
