Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles features dynamic difficulty

For those of you planning to relive the horrors of Claire and Leon's jaunt through Raccoon City in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, know that Capcom has confirmed the game will have a dynamic, sliding scale difficulty, Siliconera reports. Depending on how well you're blasting zombie skulls and putting down lunging dogs, the game will ramp up the difficulty or, should you find yourself nothing more than a walking, talking snack for the many undead frequenting this once sleepy mountain town, the game will ease back and give you a fighting chance.

This makes sense if they want to market for everyone.What do guys think about it?

P.S Title should to have dynamic difficulty

I think its a great idea.

Well if you good at them, this will not make a differeance in the way you play.

 I agree with you. However, in this case you have to understand the target audience. So I think Capcom likely made a good choice.

Sounds good, but will they scrap the different difficulty settings or will the dynamic difficulty be applied to all of them?

I want to play in Hard.

From what I've read, the game actually will have easy, normal, and hard difficulty settings. Within that initial parameter, it will continue to adjust difficulty based on performance.

I can't help but wonder if 'dynamic difficulty' just means that enemies drop more ammo if you're emtpying your guns and drop less if you hoard ammo and just use pistols, though.

Dynamic Difficulty: In addition to the initial settings of Easy, Normal and Hard, the game’s difficulty level will adjust automatically based on the player’s skill level so that both old and new fans can have a fun and challenging experience.

I say all games should have this option along with easy medium and hard modes and toggling this feature on or off.

Most sports games are adding this feature which I like. The game adapts to you. Look at Madden depending on how well you played in a game the difficulty was adjusted. I know you're saying you can't compare a sports game to RE. I was using the analogy as a comparison since it's the same type of system.

Well, that's awesome for me, cause I suck, and suddenly move this into a first day purchase for me.

If they have it as an option just like easy, normal, hard etc then sure why not. The more the better =)
