I'd say that I like The Evil Within more than Resident Evil 4, although that's probably because RE4 is probably one of my least favourite Resident Evil games; albeit still a great, harrowing experience. The game does show strong influences from the later, and there's even some bonus Mikami references thrown in for the lulz, including (small spoiler about one of the chapters, but don't read it if you don't want to get anything spoiled) one full mansion chapter reminiscent of the good older RE days. In my honest opinion, aside from some really petty technical moments, the 360 version holds-up incredible well. There are some bad cases of framerrate dropping, pop-in textures that takes ages to load and generally longer loading times than other versions, but nothing that would drive you mad, and with a bit of enduring, nothing that would spoil your experience that much. Be advised, though, that the game does require a forced installation unlike 99% of the 360 games, so check that before getting it if you have a low space HDD. Really, Curl, I'd say go for this one first. Considering you, I don't think you'll like it more than Resident Evil 4, but considering the huge lack of japanese action horror on the seventh gen, this tops almost everything produced so far. |
Cheers man, next time I see it at a good price, I'll grab it.
I can deal with cut down graphics and the like, my only concern if it would run like shit and be cut down gameplay wise, like the last gen ports of Shadow of Mordor.
