Gameinformer 6/10

 

[Berek Halfhand]

Damn IGN bringing the heat this week. Ok, Armored Core you're up to bat.

They gave SH Remake a 9, with a 6 in gameplay.

 

[pje122]

So if the game worth it if you're only planning on playing single-player?

 

[ironcreed]

So if the game worth it if you're only planning on playing single-player?

At just over 3 hours and at $60.00, no way. It is rental all the way for me.

 

[BladeRunner12]

3.0/10 from Strategy Informer.

 

[bubnbob]

This week is fucking bizarro week. If you told me the next Ninja Gaiden and Resident Evil games will be contenders for worst games of the year, I would have punched you in the throat.

The writing was pretty much on the wall from the start for both... I could have easily told you they would be duds. No itagaki and the developers of Socom... winning combination for both I'm sure.

 

[wwm0nkey]

no

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Really enjoyed this line from the Eurogamer review.

If a mate gets infected in Operation Raccoon City, it often makes more sense to kill and then immediately resurrect them, because they'll respawn almost instantly with full ammo and more health. You'd think it wouldn't be possible to do this mid-fight, but it is. Just a little trick every spec ops soldier should know.

So lazy.

 

[ksdixon]

Do we know if the PC version, releasing in May I believe, will have the Nemesis mode which is exclusive to 360 on consoles?

 

[Ooccoo]

Bad design meets bad scores? I'm shocked.

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea anyway? Resident Evil is not a multiplayer game. Although I loved Outbreak this game had BOMBA written all over it.

 

[pje122]

OK... so is it worth renting if you're only going to play single-player? Or is this a game that needs to be played with friends or it's not worth playing at all?

 

[ironcreed]

OK... so is it worth renting if you're only going to play single-player? Or is this a game that needs to be played with friends or it's not worth playing at all?

I don't see how renting it could hurt, regardless. I just want to rent it for a quick play through and be done with it, but am in no hurry to do so. Just rent it for yourself and see if it appeals to you or not.

 

[Ushojax]

Capcom. The company that brought you Western-developed gems like Dark Void, Bionic Commando and Dead Rising 2. Coming soon, DmC.

Who cares, this is a bad game with many stupid elements and is a waste of time no matter the number of players. Short, dull, brain-dead singleplayer and a clunky, crude multiplayer. Why bother with it at all?

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Looks like Capcom's strategy is paying off tho if the game sells somewhat decent. Who cares about quality when you can outsource it at a lower price within a shorter time frame, and get a decent return? In the meantime, it just serves as a hype train to RE6

 

[Trancetronic]

So I guess Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 are the definite better games here?

Spoiler

what am I saying, I know they are

The concept of the game was great, it had lot of potential, but the execution is just awful. Poor visuals, bad shooting, no AI, no hit detection, buggy, all kinds of awkward mechanics. The same game done by someone else probably would have been awesome.

 

[Carbonox]

I enjoyed these. Bionic Commando is criminally underrated.

But yes, altogether, Capcom is a clueless shell of its former glory.

 

[bubnbob]

dead rising 2 was good... you take that back

 

[G-Fex]

Looks like I was right all along.

Damn.

 

[TRHolmes(y)]

Dead Rising 2 was great.

 

[Carbonox]

Naturally we were right all along.

Damn.

Fixed.

Anyone could have seen this from a mile off.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Really disappointed as it's pretty unanimous from the whole internet that this game is just meh.

Better that than reviews all over the place like NG3.

NG3 is franchise destroying. This is just some dumb spinoff.

Doesn't matter too much to me how it relates to the franchise; just need to know if it's a solid game or not.

Unless due to the underwhelming RE5 and the piss poor/broken/rip off ORC, Capcom loses a lot of fans and people willing and interested in the series.

 

[Scofield94941]

I went to a Gamestop Midnight release last night with my brother (bought him Silent Hill HD collection for his birthday) And you couldn't even go inside there were that many people. Talking to a few people and they were all there for Resident Evil. Suprised me that so many people were buying at launch. Im sure there were like 10 people buying Silent hill and Ninja Gaiden 3 combined.

Personally everyone who is debating whether to get this just just wait like I'm doing. This game will be Amazon deal of the day for 40 bucks soon enough. Or with all the bad press it will drop to 40 by next month. Will buy it then or when it gets to 20.

 

[Ra1den]

I wonder how many failures it will take for Capcom to stop whoring out their games to the west. They are just fucking clueless.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

I'm totally with you. We will have to wait for the numbers but if people are buying this game and continue to put up with Capcom's bs, there's little to lose

 

[Defunkled]

I'm buying this AND Ninja Gaiden 3 this week. I'm part of the problem and I don't give a DAMN.

Going by your Jehuty avatar, should pick up Armored Core 5 too!

I've been hearing this everywhere and it amazes me. At this rate the things going to have great sales and make Capcom want to do more of this crap.

 

[Seventy5]

I could give 2 shits what IGN or anyone else thinks.

Picked up and have been playing for little over an hour and i like it, this is why i pay 0 attention to reviews, is it great? no, amazing? no, fun? yes.

Would i suggest people go out and spend $65-75 (depending if you get the SE) if you are a fan of RE and have friends to play with then yes, if not then wait for the $29.99 price drop in the next couple of weeks, i got it because i love RE and regret nothing.

Agreed, I'm having fun with it, but I didn't go in expecting even RE5 quality and I'm ok with that. The shooting is solid, the pace is tense when there's a lot going on and tons of zombies, the voice acting is absolute cheese and the AI is dumb as shit.

Also, I just got to chapter 5, and the notalgia factor is huge on this mission. I got a big ass cheesy grin a couple minutes ago, for reasons I won't spoil.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Just wanted to stop by and say don't sully the name of SOCOM because some hacks at Slant Six (who butchered Confrontation, their only console Socom release) made this game. Which by the way nearly all SOCOM fans were calling this Resident Evil a flop from the moment Slant Six was announced as developer.

Man I wish a legit SOCOM in the vein of 1 or 2 could get made today and show people that it isn't what has been represented on the PS3 and PSP.

 

[dankir]

Oh shit did they make another spelling mistake?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Someone needs to get online and play this shitty campaign with me. 360 tag: Wind Drake 1985

 

[CTE]

Dead Rising 2.

Had me up until there. DR2 is awesome.

So you DO care....

 

[TheSeks]

Fixed.

Anyone could have seen this from a mile off.

As soon as Slant Sux was announced as developing it.

It's like the Sonic Team batsignal. You know shit is going to suck.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This campaign sucks on your own and there seems to be nobody online. First boss dude who is chasing you in level one will keep knocking you down without anyone else there to shoot him so it may as well be one hit kills. He's easy to stay away from of course, but still stupid. Team mates also like to run right through fire.

WRONG

 

[kuYuri]

I'm amazed that people are even surprised by this. I've been saying all along, it will sell. If buggy, janky games like Dead Island can sell, than so can this one.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

WRONG

So Confrontation wasn't Slant Six's first and only SOCOM Console release? Zipper made every SOCOM on the PS2 and SOCOM 4

Unless you count PSP games, which I think we all know is a different beast than consoles, especially the PS3.

 

[CTE]

Dead Island became great after a few patches(if you like free roam zombie games). This doesn't have that potential.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

As a fan of Resident Evil and the Outbreak series... this is just sad. I'm not surprised though.

Now Capcom needs to regain our trust. *waiting for File #3*

Kind of surprised . I alway knew the developer means less than the brand to the public‚ but I assumed the RE6 announcement would have dampened sales . Between the movies being blockbusters and the spin-offs selling the RE brand looks pretty robust .

DOH!
Didn't see you said 'console'...
(Socom Tactical Strike is quite awesome, you should try it...)

Yeah but Dead Island was different in the sense that fps where s was slash or smash. ORC is just another tps with the RE branding.

 

[Curufinwe]

I wonder how many failures it will take for Capcom to stop whoring out their games to the west. They are just fucking clueless.

I just wish this was decent like Dead Rising 2.
