I'm loving this whole Metal Gear Survive thing. On paper it's technically everything gamers love to spend money on. Zombie Survival Crafting Co-Op RPG thing.

It just makes me sad because the actual gameplay in MGSV was great and it felt like co-op could've easily been in that, so game-wise I'm sure it might actually be fun, but boy do Konami not deserve money for being a bunch of shitters.

On the other hand they seem to have finally figured out that Steam exists and it's full of people that would gladly pay money for ports of good games like Vanquish or Okami. Also does "in general" in this case mean "only including all of the trash fire companies that have always been burning and specifically ignoring all of the good poo poo coming out of Japan because I'm Guy Mann and all I do is make ridiculous generalizations"? John Murdoch has a new favorite as of 04:20 on Oct 2, 2017 |

They're getting there, but all the big players pretty much require having their arm twisted to keep trying even a little. Not even just to get their games on PC either, see how Gio Corsi had to get after Sega to make more of the Yakuza games finally be localized, he all but had to say "If you don't do it, Sony Third Party Production is going to."

RyokoTK posted:Wasn't RE7 actually good though? But it suffers from the same problem of not being resident evil. If you're going to make a game and call it "resident evil seven" people are kind of going to expect a resident evil game. It's not a bad game on its own, but it kind of just sheds everything people expect in a resident evil title. It seems to stem from this absolute bizarre phobia Capcom has of risking a new IP, but also their desperate desire to start a new IP. So instead they keep trying to relaunch their old poo poo with a completely new story and style and just hope everyone who bought it previously buys it anyway.

RE7 is fine*. But like others have said, it lost why people were playing Resident Evil games and with them went about 4 million copies sold off the bat. Further, from financials its looking like the game doesnt have anywhere near the legs of RE5 and RE6 where the HD remasters that just came out shifted a million or so more copies each. How the "complete" version of RE7 coming out sells I think will be the real test for that franchise. *I personally find the gameplay tedious and didnt bother to finish it, but I can recognize it does the things fan of that genre want and it does it not too shabbily. At the start anyway, it goes to hell for them by the end.

While thats was the narrative, after selling a million+ copies with a 30 dollars new price tag this long after release the game is now behind only RE5 in franchise sales and likely revenue as well. RE6 has some of the best 3rd person shooter controls in the genre. Those great controls are just saddled with extremely bad all of the following: level design, game structure, pacing, weapon selection, inventory, boss design, character progression, story, and ui.

RE7 is the closest to the classical RE formula the franchise has been since the first three.

That's what gets me too, the only real difference is first-person view, otherwise it feels like a return to spooky atmosphere, being somewhat limited on ammo and all that.

Resident Evil 6 managed to get boring even with the co-op mode. I mean all games are just better when you're playing with a friend, drinking beers and making fun of the RE storyline. But not RE6, that game's just a fun drain. It's long too, so if you wanna complete it you're gonna watch things explode endlessly for what feels like decades.

It struck me when I realised I was standing still to aim, spinning literally everything I picked up to discover secrets, and kept fleeing back to the safe rooms whenever something jumped out at me. Hell, later difficulties even had the ink ribbons.  It's amazing the franchise has gone in such a circle that the originals are no longer considered to be actual Resident Evil titles.

oldpainless posted:In Until Dawn I cannot keep any of these loving people alive Well, there's a FEW unintuitive ways that people can get killed (Matt and Josh spring to mind) most of them are pretty easy to figure out how to save. For example, you really shouldn't go wandering off by yourself and open a mysterious trapdoor when you know there's loving monsters trying to eat you.

Also im pretty sure mgs3 did well? It didnt set the world on fire in pre release hype certainly but the transition from ps1 to ps2 was insane, and 2 was at the forefront of "games look like movies now whoa!" where 3 came relatively late in the console life.

RE7 isn't Resident Evil right up until you actually go into the Baker House. Once you start solving puzzles through VHS tapes and manipulating a wooden sculpture so that it casts the shadow of an eagle on a painting in order to open up a secret passageway you really can't deny that it's RE as gently caress. I mean really all the core values that I associate with RE are present in 7:
Only thing missing is zombies honestly. RE7 suffers from a lack of cohesion in the second half when the plot gets crazy, and it needed more enemy variety, but the bosses were interesting and I thought it was pretty kickass. Glukeose has a new favorite as of 12:34 on Oct 2, 2017 |

Nevermind the fact that Capcom said in interviews "it will have combat" it was just going to be a lovely Outlast/Amnesia clone.

To be fair i feel like it really lets the goofiness seep in. The intro is some drat good horror and aside from a more refined control scheme, still pretty unnerving. Then around the castle it builds up and goes insane.

RE4 is one of the best games ever and it hits the exact perfect level of goofiness. It just nails the tone because no one took the RE games seriously and they knew it. It rules.

RE7 is nemesis in a mansion, except nemesis is a really funny/horrifying southern dad. I don't think I've ever seen a character make me constantly go from laughing to absolute dread over and over. Also, yes. Resident Evil 4 is the best. I remember being so dumb struck by the statue chase the first time, that I failed the qte because I didn't know what was going on anymore.
