RE:3 RE:3 is out!

Indeed, it is. I just like to pretend that 3 (and 2) wasn't even a thing. Capcom really fumbled the ball, and they've already been forgotten...

Watch this video. :)

It looks like the Hunter are a threat only because they either didn't play test the game or they barely did. They are almost just as likely to kill you in assisted as in hardcore. And that is just one balancing issue, this game is so poorly made it's almost sad
 
Kuma died and then we got Kuma II, but he is still called Kuma. Essentially, this is Capcom II or III or IV, but they are just simply Capcom.

That's why the games are shitty now. I seriously doubt it is the same Capcom. It's sad, but possibly half true. I mean, maybe some of the original producers are still there, but maybe not all of them.
 
That's the risk of remaking a game, because the people responsible for your favorite parts may not be present and the remaining team members aren't motivated about putting them back in.

For example, it was Hideki Kamiya that was responsible for shoving "partner zapping" into RE2 and from reading the interviews, the rest of the team aren't fans of that and even the late Sugimura didn't like writing the B scenarios.
With Kamiya absent, I guess it's understandable why "zapping" is omitted.
 
I really didn't like those zombie plants.

Capcom, this is what a plant looks like. ?

Unless something weird happened in the lab. ??

Oh, I meant RE2. But RE3 was dumb as well.

If you look at the names of the producers and directors of the most recent titles, you'll know that they're mostly from the 90's or from day 1 of Resident Evil.

Yasuhiro Anpo for example worked on both RE1 & RE2.
He was brought back to be one of the directors for the RE3 remake.

Masachika Kawata is also a veteran from the 90's and he is RE3 remake's producer.

Yoshiaki Hirabayashi is kind of a "newbie" who wasn't around in the PS1 era but he was still with Capcom to program motion capture for the RE1 remake in 2002.
He is later a producer for the RE2 remake.

There are still a lot of "oldies" still running the show in Capcom today.
 
I'll just stick to the originals. I never cared for the endless spin off games, cash-in stuff, nor these modern day takes on what happened in Raccoon City.
 
Nothing beats remake 1. Nothing! ?
Call me crazy but after playing RE1 1996 again, I still like certain aspects about it more than REmake. Although it’s definitely the superior game, it cut out a lot of the charm and uniqueness out for a more serious tone. I’ll list off the pros.

-Opening cutscene did a better job properly introducing the characters. They even listed their age and blood types.
-The picture puzzle in the gallery had more depth and meaning behind it instead of just matching colors. Depicting the stages of a mans life felt like the Ashford family puzzle in CODE: Veronica.
-Hunters felt more threatening and were much harder to deal with. The same can be said for certain boss enemies like Yawn. They are much harder to death with in the original because of their speed. Their REmake version move sluggishly in comparison.
-Barry was more Barry like than in the REmake. He felt boring and his face was off putting compared to his Revelations 2 depiction that felt more inspired by his 1996 version. His voice actor also had more charisma and energy compared to REmake. His betrayal was much more surprising and less obvious in the original.
-The Old Testament of the bible quotes on the wall were removed from REmake which was odd, it would be like cutting out Alex’s quotes from Kafka if they were to remake Revelations 2.
-Most of the original soundtrack was completely changed which is a shame. Although the new soundtrack fits the remake, the 1996 version had some great tracks that should of been adapted into the REmakes. (and no not the clown fart music.)?

Those are some examples. I will always love REmake to death but people that completely dismiss the original are missing out on a unique experience. It would be like watching all the George A. Romero films but u skipped the original Night of the Living Dead because it was “too old.”

The same can be said for the recent “remakes.”
