Resident Evil: Revival Selection |OT| RE4 and REC:VX now in HD!

Replaying Code Veronica reminds me of how much I hate this game. It's definitely the worst Resident Evil game for me.
As for the port, it's pretty alright. I really like the new lighting, but hate the weird depth of field blur thing that it has going on at times. I'm playing as Chris on the island at the minute and it looks pretty fine so far.

I feel the exact opposite. It's a blurry mess from what I've played. Almost as though they just blew the image up to fit a widescreen frame as opposed to the image benefiting from additional resolution. Oh and it looks overly dark (something I can likely fix by adjusting my TV but I shouldn't have to). I've played through CV on the Dreamcast and the PS2 and I'm pretty disappointed with what I've played so far.randomwab said:

I owe you an apology, you're not crazy, the QTEs ARE much harder.
I just got to the first Gigante on my Pro run, and FUCK that QTE event after you run up his back. If you don't hit the right button to slash (square or X) within like milliseconds the fucker throws you off and stomps on you. SO MUCH RAGE.

There are. I played both enough times to see the difference. You posted terrible re2 video played on a badly set up emulator. The frameskip and jerky Clarie run tells all. Disgusting. I'm actually replaying re2. It's sickly smooth in reality. Zombies in Veronica are much worse animated. It's clear as day in their robotic fall animation, or when they grab. Generally zombies in veronica animate like robots in comparison to 2. There was zero leap between re2 and cv, besides zombies now "sticking" to walls after push everything else was a downgrade.

Loved RE3's animations the most, that game was fast and had obviously better controls than CV.
CV had the best storyline, probably, but as an RE I don't know where to place it. It seemed to be the slowest game with the most back tracking.
Looked brilliant way, way back though (I remember foaming over those Beta screenies in EGM etc):

Dat camera angles and RE2 costume.

Here's another. Just because there's no stuttering in that one doesn't make the animations better. Hell, even the early animations in the CODE:Veronica betas look more sophisticated than in RE2.GrayFoxPL said:

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Just beat it in professional.
I really can't say this enough times... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER CREATED, just WOW! It was easier than normal, I admit, but my god, the experience was just as good as every other time I beat RE4.
Mikami is a fucking GOD.
edit: and no, I'm not planning on sleeping yet. Who can sleep after 2 playthroughs of this game?

I kind of predicted most people wouldn't take to the grainy, darkened IQ of CV. I still think it looks great and is a major improvement over the original.
I really don't think there is any problem with the controls, visuals or animations at all (except keeping the climb stairs button, that's bunk), but that's all everyone seems to focus on.
If there is anything the game deserves a lot of criticism for it's the confusing level design, brick wall moments where you have no choice but to restart, simple mistakes that can deprive you of important items at the very end of the game, and parts where you absolutely cannot avoid taking hits or dying. Some pretty poor game design all around.
The game was contentious when it came out and it's still contentious today. Anachronism has nothing to do with it.

Didn't run into much trouble playing CV. Game braking shit? New to me, but I'm one of those re players that picks nearly every object and puts it in item box.
What I loved about Veronica was the rather frequent location change, quite interesting at that. Good storyline. Badass Chris Redfield and his godlike knife(no re5 chris is not badass) and no contest the best Wesker in any RE ever.

I forgot how clunky and frustrating RE4 can be sometimes. No reloading in the inventory screen is a huge fail.

Uh is it just me or is there some serious slowdown in the opening FMV to Code: Veronica? I was showing the opening to my girlfriend like "oh look how badass this opening is!" and then it starts to fucking stutter.
It's either stuttering or they deliberately went back and added the slowdown for dramatic effect or some shit, because I know it wasn't originally like that.
