I wish I could ♥ all of you too... but that won't be the case until I investigate and find proof about that frikkin' boulder! I swear, I'm gonna dream about boulders coming at me tonight. That's what I normally do when I'm panicking anyway, so why not tonight?

 

[Risible]

I'm about to kill something or someone right this instance. I'm literally sweating my ass of here, proving something and being the minority sucks ass... fuck this, I need to take a breather.

I am old and slow, and I had no trouble with the pro boulders. I don't doubt you had problems, but I'm guessing you were just having a bad night.

It's like TF2 - some days I'm decent, other days I'm the noobiest of noobs.

 

[Yoshichan]

Try asking someone to press the L1 and R1 buttons for you while you do the square button mashing.

I died 7 times. And ONLY because I didn't mash fast enough - it had nothing to do with the actual dodging in the last phase.

I had a hard time even reaching the last phase of the boulder!!

but I'm guessing you were just having a bad night.

:/

No boulders to run from in cvx!

 

[Syphon Filter]

What are the chances RE 1-3 come to 360?

 

[Risible]

In your defense google does show a lot of hits for people having trouble with the boulder on pro back in the day.

No best game of all time awards for cvx!

I'm on a roll tonight!

Exactly! I swear I'm playing some super rare version of this digital version. Every 1000 downloads, this "lucky" person gets the RE4: Pro-boulder-edition

You could always hire Chris so he could punch the hell out of it for you.

 

[ULTROS!]

Low?

RE1 and 3 are PSone/Saturn games, not to mention they're not really pretty anymore (CVX is much more prettier, but definitely not on par with RE4). REmake is pretty much exclusive to GC/Wii.

Plus they use pre-rendered backgrounds, so HD-fying it won't make it any better unless they pull off a Sonic Adventures PSN/XBLA.

 

[ionicbluebird]

So has anyone done an in depth comparison graphically between the hd version and the gamecube version yet? Something like what Digital Foundry does?

Throw some money at the problem - get an auto-fire controller. Or you can hire me - I can mash a button faster than anyone I've ever seen.

Try punching it.

Oh you guys ♥ Starting to like you all. Kind of.

What is your point on it bing Saturn/ps game?it can still come to other platforms.also banjo is on 360 and the graphics are similar to RE in terms of age.

Banjo does not use pre-rendered backgrounds. That's the difference, a huge one, as a matter of fact.

Well... What other PSone games have been ported to HD consoles asides Banjo/Perfect Dark (Microsoft owned games which were only available on the N64 only) and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (a 2D game with a few 3D elements)?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Why can't a pre rendered game be on xbox 360?

 

[Yoshichan]

Why can't a pre rendered game be on xbox 360?

Fully stretched pre-rendered pictures would look truly garbage on a big screen :/

 

[ULTROS!]

Why can't a pre rendered game be on xbox 360?

It will look like this:

 

[Syphon Filter]

Yea but on ps3 I am sure it's not full screen.

 

[ULTROS!]

It's not. You can stretch the 4:3 resolution if you want just like the other PSone games.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but why can't capcom just hire some crack 3d modelers to neo-classically recreate the backgrounds in RE DC/2/3? I mean the lighting schemes and complexity of most of those backgrounds is really simple. You could grab kids from the local VFX or animation school and get them to do backgrounds like that now. The 3D elements could be up-resed as much as you need. If they can take a game like Super Street Fighter and redraw ALL the frames of animation and backgrounds, why couldn't they replicate the backgrounds in the old resident evils? I want trophies for beating those games again.

Because it's Capcom, dude.

I mean they remade bionic commando and mega man 1. those psone graphics, especially the first resident evil, are way more basic than any psp game.

because "crack 3d modelers" don't work for free.

 

[erlim]

It's cheaper than remaking the entire game in a REmake style. And you know if Capcom got the assets up to 720p or whatever that those games are coming out on PS3, 360, WiiU, 3DS, PSvita, then probably PS4 and Xbox720 and PC and every cell phone. They are like a bad boyfriend and terrible at properly celebrating anniversaries.

 

[jackdoe]

Seconded. Look at how much "effort" they put into RE4 while charging $20 for the product. If they did that, they'd charge $40 digitally and tell you to be thankful it wasn't retail or else it would have been $60.

 

[B-Dex]

Is CVX up yet I wants it now.

And remember, they wanted to save us money!

 

[Yoshichan]

I'm at the second boulder on Pro now... third time dying.

You guys are so fucking wrong about this, seriously. I recorded some of it on my shitty Galaxy SII.

 

[Rlan]

Okay, anyone willing to help me get the leaderboard stats for this game? Is tgere a leaderboard for zombie kills in general? Is tgere a total? I need the xbla one.

 

[erlim]

resident evil 4 is so exquisitely paced. difficulty, environments, weapons, everything. the antiquated mechanics. looking back i think i beat resident evil 5 eight times (probably more than i've played through any game) simply because of my nostalgia for RE4.

 

[Nemesis_]

Pretty much only shows completion times for each mode. I can get more specific if you wish.

And GAF delivers as always. Bravo.

Does anyone remember what time they updated last week? I want my OLD SCHOOL HD RESIDENT EVIL!!?!?!?!

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Don't know if it was posted but Eurogamer gave CVX a 6/10.

 

[MarshMellow96]

That review reads like a person who's never played a resident evil before 4 at times.

 

[B-Dex]

I like how all their screens and the video are RE4 too. Games Journalism.

 

[def sim]

That review reads like a person who's never played a resident evil before 4 at times.

It's a review for possible customers who haven't been exposed to the archaic RE's. Makes sense.

I honestly think most won't go that far back. 4 fair enough - it's similar enough to 5 to remain comfortable to a player. But C:VX? I'm only going back because it's the only one I haven't played and I loved the series as a kid.

Also, certain complaints could also be levelled at modern Resi games. But there we go.

 

[Yoshichan]

Chapter 3... currently 93% hit ratio. Say somethin' hater!

didn't CVXFreak say that the QTE events were harder on professional a few pages back? they totally are.

oh, CVX is up on 360. i'm downloading it right now. US.

the HD tagline justifiable only in regard to the crisp new menu screens

what's this nonsense?

 

[SkylineRKR]

They kinda had to. RE4 received a 7/10. After playing RE4 I disagree with most things they said, so I will probably still dig CV too.

i don't think it's an unfair angle given their perspective of 'this is aimed at people that haven't played classic REs'. i don't think it's exclusively aimed there, but certainly those of us that already played classic REs, or already played CVX aren't really the ones using reviews to decide if we want to play the game.

the old REs have dated much more than RE4 has, whether we want to admit it or not. frankly i don't care personally. i want CVX HD for myself and it looks like a job well done. maybe this time i'll actually finish it.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Btw I always wondered when CV was really designed and started development. I'm thinking about it because as much as I love the game the zombies animations were much worse then those in RE2 and of course 3. That made me think capcom started making it maybe sooner then RE2.

 

[randomwab]

Starting up CVX now. Dat video compression.

Edit: The lighting is better in-game now than in the CG videos.

CV started development toward the end of Resident Evil 2's development cycle. I think the majority of the game was made by Nextech though, the guys that ported the first game to the Saturn.

Omg, just managed to head shot the red monk in the turret room in the castle before he could run away and get to it and it skipped that entire sequence. I never knew you could actually get him. This game, man.
