give zero a try on gamecube, its a very good RE game.
The real joke of the industry is that everything today has to be the same, mindless pew-pew-pew. There's very little room for anything else. Sure, games have to evolve, but why did an adventure game need to "evolve" into something that everybody else is doing already and usually much better? Sad. Just sad. And when RE started with the mysterious merchant following you around and lugging his wares around for you to buy? Come on, that's just ridiculous. Can't handle scarce resources and rationing? Go play some pew-pew-pew instead.
From seeing the gameplay trailers and info on Revelations 2 it seens to be a game that stay true to REs roots. Aparently thats Capcoms objective going foward, making Revelations into a series of its own, and those games will be similar to the RE of old while keeping the numbered games in the series more action oriented.

That DLC was not like RE1 at all, it was just more PEW PEW PEW/ Mila Jojovich bad-assery/ PEW PEW PEW/ Mila Jojovich bad-assery/ PEW PEW PEW... |

I'd say it was like RE1 in some ways....

Are they wrong though? That is the problem. The OP says it all went Mchael Bay, but thats the thing. People in general love that. Despite th flak MB movies still make a ton of money. I think revelations is the sub series to please us, the old schoolers. I am looking forward to it. |
Shouldn't the sub-series be to please the new crowd? I'd never played it because I assumed it was more of the same, thanks to RE4,5,6. They made devil may cry because of RE4. RE5 should have spawned a new game too, because it just doesn't get it right.
I just looked at Wikipedia. RE5 is the highest selling game in the series. Wow.

It deserves it. An excellent game, with bonus points for great implementation of co-op.

Tomb Raider III: Starting to get stale Tomb Raider TLR: ...okay. Enough already! Tomb Raider Chronicles: Please die, Lara! Tomb Raider AoD: Fuck this franchise! And then, we got the reboot from Crystal Dynamics and everybody was happy. When THAT franchise started getting stale, we got the Square/Enix reboot. And, for some reason, there arose this group of people who say "Oh, they changed the franchise soooo much! Why did they ruin the essence of Tomb Raider!?" They changed it because the game got stale and sales reflected it. I've withnesed this same thing with Resident Evil. By RE3, it was just more of the same. They tried to innovate with REZero but the old fashioned RE gameplay was dated and needed to go. It was a joke of the industry. "I need to open this door. Let me find a plaque, a spark plug, the armor key, and light a candle." RE4 was a breath of fresh air, a change in direction, and the savior of the series. I'm sorry for those who wanted more slow paced, puzzle solving, convoluted stories (well, we still get that) but that is a product of a bygone era. Enjoy the excellent but super short REHD that got overlooked by so many when it released. Hope they re-release RE0, too! But don't tell me things were better, then. I lived through it. I bought the series on PS1, Gamecube, Dreamcast, etc. It wasn't better, then. Your memories are lying to you. |
I partially agree with you however I am about half way through the HD remake on Xone for probably my 4th playthrough and I can honestly say that enjoy this way more than RE5 or RE6.
I don't mind change, infact RE4 is my second favorite RE game of all time. I do mind games with subpar gameplay and lack of focus. RE5 was just OK, riding on the cotails of RE4. And RE6 was pure shit.
RE series did get stale with the old gameplay style, but now RE5 and 6 gameplay is stale. Time to go back CAPCOM? I think Code Veronica 2 is in order, and not a gun shooter one. :)

It's still a great game. A more cerebral experience. I replayed RE0 for my little girl (she loves to watch me play horror games) about a year ago. Then, I fired up REMake for the Gamecube. My old saves were still there! Was using the infinite ammo and some janky looking zombie came shambling up. I freaked out and shot it.
*explosion*
Game over.
I said "Fuck this game!" and never played it again. I intend to buy the game again--not sure which version. Loved it back when and, despite the mishap last time, I still love it now. I still don't think that's a direction the series should return to. The scares that only scare once (and really, after RE1, it wasn't scary at all) and the insane puzzles that required so much back tracking? Just can't see myself going back to that. When RE was at the top of its game, we had tons of games that copied its style (even Capcom themselves with Dino Crisis!). We don't even get copycats these days. The market has moved on.
