Arsic can you tell why you didn't liked shock remake?

Did you at least like the immersive sims genre? Do you like dishonored saga?

I played the demo and may pick up the full version on steam.

Immersive sims I’ve tried all of Arkanes games and they never do it for me. Granted, I loved Prey, so if SS is more akin to that I’ll give it a whirl.

Shock should be more similar to prey, yes, the art design and aesthetics are wildly different tho.

I like dishonored way more than prey so you are probably gonna end liking the game more than me.

Resident Evil 3 Remake

Nah ofc it's RE2R

It's still good, it's just missing some content and they swapped Nemesis and Mr. X behaviors. Now Mr. X is the one who chases you around the whole game vs Nemesis who makes appearances in multiple encounters. I personally don't mind all the changes, I just wanted more of it. Some of the changes I don't get at all though, like being able to cut off limbs of the zombies, like in RE2 which you can't do in RE3. Silly/stupid decisions by Capcom.

I love RE3R the most but I recognise 2R as the best total package for everyone.

They did take out the limb dropping stuff yeah, which is annoying, but I think it's to keep the pace high.

It's not new gore because technically you can see it in RE2R, but magnum blasting the pale heads blasts away their body right down to the bones and only spine can be left if you have infinite ammo for it and go to town (lol). It's in RE2R but you're unlikely to see it since they aren't in the game much and you don't have a magnum most of the time when they are.

It will be interesting to see where the CV and 0 remakes stand when they’re released.

Eh you get robbed of Jill going to RPD, Brain Deimos Larvae required Blue Herbs instead of Green in the original, No Grave Digger or Cemetery, no Clock Tower, no Park, no Dead Factory, Nemesis chasing is scripted and never an issue or frustration, little to no backtracking, severe lack of puzzles, no sidequests or minigames to partake in, no Mercenaries mode. Lots of stuff was cut to streamline RE3 into a $10 DLC of RE2R and selling it as a full game for $50 or $60. They did RE3 dirty.

RE4R Separate ways only being $10 was a nice apology though.

I agree, they did it dirty but the version they created was still enjoyable was my point. If they wanted to redo things, fine, just give us more of it without removing locations. I am not saying content wasn't cut, just that RE3R even as it is, is still a fun game.

They fixed RE3, which was awful outside of gameplay mechanics. Now it is the best game in the franchise to do reruns in. In contrast, Separate Ways is so pointless and so much lower quality then anything in RE2R/RE3R/RE4R that it does not matter what they charge for it.

Pretty surprised SH2 is being regarded so highly. I’m playing through it now, and it’s definitely a good game, but honestly doesn’t seem like anything amazing. I never played the original, though.

 

[Lux R7]

it's REmake, not even close imho.

You should play it more because it is amazing

 

[Madflavor]

Ah ok. Im waiting for the OG to be on PC/PS5 like the directors cut they put out recently. I don’t want to mess with roms.

When it is I’ll play the OG for sure.

If you ever get around to playing the original Resident Evil 2, you'll see what I mean. The way it essentially works is that there are 4 campaigns in total. Leon A, Leon B, Claire A, and Claire B.

So if you play Leon A, your NG+ will be Claire B, and vise versa. Each scenario was different from the other. It changed what areas you had access to, how certain cutscenes play out, the arrangement of items, bosses you encounter, etc. And while I do really like the RE2 Remake, it gave us a very watered down version of Scenario A/B. No matter what order you play the game in, Leon and Claire's cutscenes play out exactly the same, as do the bosses they encounter. What was genius about the OG RE2's scenarios is that it was set up in a way that showed you exactly what Claire was doing while you were playing as Leon, and you could buy it, because rarely did the game contradict itself. It took you on a pretty different path. It wasn't perfect of course, but it was still impressive for it's time. But with the RE2 Remake, if you play as Leon A and then Claire B, Claire goes does 90% of the same path as Leon, and has the same encounters as him, which completely contradicts everything. It was lazy.

It's the shiny new thing.

There probably is recency bias with SH2R going on, but in fairness I do think it's one of the better remakes we've gotten.

I think it's funny how neck and neck the Resident Evil Remakes are. Shows how high quality they've been. Except for RE3 Remake of course. Blows my mind people defend that game.

It also shows how dead space just isn’t what players wanted overall.

Dead Space Remake was great, but it was essentially the first game 1:1, but with better visuals and voice acting. It kinda felt like it fell between a Remaster and a Remake. I'm not complaining, I think that's totally fine, but in comparison to the Resident Evil Remakes, those were full blown reimagined remakes of the originals, so they stand out more.

Also I just think Resident Evil has wider appeal than Dead Space. Dead Space is a very serious, scary, gorey, and grim game, whereas Resident Evil has that fun and campy element to it, with hot characters.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Yeah I don't get it either. May as well be a different game altogether compared to the original. Only the story and characters are the same. Jill deserved better.

I can understand enjoying how it plays, and how there are some fans who enjoy the more action heavy entries of the series. But what I don't understand is defending a remake that had it's content obviously rushed and gutted from what was in the original. To make matters worse, it didn't have any extra modes. It is the first mainline entry in the series, since the very first Resident Evil game, to not have an extra mode. It's even more insulting that Resident Evil 3 introduced "The Mercenaries" mode in the first place.

Yeah that was bullshit. And they gave us the trash that is RE Resistance. Even Revelations got extra modes. Raid Mode was very fun.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Silent Hill 2 takes the cake for me, but it shall be dethroned by that rumored Remake of REmake

 

[Madflavor]

I think I played Raid mode far more than the actual game.

It's definitely fun but I would have loved to explore the areas they cut. I have so many good memories of the original, so it would have been pretty neat to see it in a different way.

That is like saying don't get the best burger ever because it is a little smaller than the others and the fries suck...

Nah they just gave you the beef patty and took out the ketchup, mustard, tomato and lettuce. It had a nice pretzel bun though. And they had a sweet 2 for $5 deal with Resistance. And yes the fries weren't even salted compared to when they made the fries hot and gave you some fresh gravy to dip them in.

 

[Madflavor]

But in this scenario RE3 is a lesser quality burger, and gives you less value for the same $$

The environment and map design of RE3R is actually kinda garbage btw.

With the better mechanics, pacing, and presentation than all these other remakes I have no idea how you can come to that conclusion. If RE3R environment and map design is garbage, then by extension RE2R environment and map design are also garbage since they have so much in common. If anything it improves the flow of progression in those shared areas.

 

[vodka-bull]

I‘m a simple man, I see Mia Khalifa, I vote.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Out of the options presented RE4 takes the cake but I feel that RE2 and SH2 were more impressive considering how the originals were.
