Flashy combat needs to be supported with proper level design.
Yup. And proper AI. Proper resource economy. Proper inventory progression etc.

That's what I miss most of all. Each room and each angle was a memorable scene in itself. It was the most successful way to make a game "cinematic" without taking an ounce of control away from the player. And like you say the chosen camera angle for a given room could really impact the atmosphere. There were even those certain rooms where upon entering the camera would show some enemies in the foreground, unaware of the player's presence, giving this feeling of inevitable dread from knowing that you'd eventually have to deal with them.I'm recoiling from over the shoulder camera, it's just not the RE experience.
Remember those wierd angles, like on the floor looking up, or from a cubard, makes you feel like you're watching through the eyes of zombies etc. and the lack of peripheral vision only aided the atmosphere.
Marvin scene was offputing, playing through both A+B scenarios is gone, moving is slow and I can already tell this game just won't be for the old fans.

Or like in this area, Nemesis could spawn by the door in the background, and you as a player would be running towards the foreground to try and escape as Nemesis is rushing up from the background.
Or these long, one point perspective corridors, used in all three games, that were so unsettling.
O but I hear some good things about Revelations is the PC port any good? Is it worth a look rather than playing 5 and 6?
Going on a RE binge right now, finished RE2 and just got started on 4
Weirdly enough I actually prefer to play the emulated gamecube version rather than the newer PC HD release; that letterbox look feels somehow right and having the fullscreen version makes me feel that Leon covers half the screen
I was was planning on playing RE1 Remake next and maybe trying O but I hear some good things about Revelations is the PC port any good? Is it worth a look rather than playing 5 and 6?

I installed the Sourcenext version of RE3 and holy shit does it look great, the colors look much crisper and the backgrounds look nicerGoing on a RE binge right now, finished RE2 and just got started on 4

Oi, no skipping RE3 you heathen. You need a fresh perspective after claiming it was "derivative".
I thought Sourcenext versions of RE3 are japanese language only. There is an english translation?I installed the Sourcenext version of RE3 and holy shit does it look great, the colors look much crisper and the backgrounds look nicerGoing on a RE binge right now, finished RE2 and just got started on 4

I really like the graphic options and really hate they didn’t use those on RE2 because running it on fullscreen is rather buggy... I found a workaround with another program to fullscreen the game and that works very good
I will probably get to it after 4 and playing the 1 Remake
The proof that they can make a rookie looking Leon without making it look like he has down syndrome.I really liked RE revelations, mainly because it's atmosphere. Guezz, I even liked the so long critisiced enemy design. But I agree with the fact that has limitations from being a portable game. Still, I think it has his brights, and mercenary modes is actually fun. Give me all these senseless female character design . On the other hand, RE Revelations 2 never catched me. Maybe I should give it another chance...
Anyway, I downloaded RE the darkside chronicles from the emulator. It's pure popamole (Or maybe is not? Because it's a shooter on rails where the only way of protecting you is killing the enemies asap.), it's a worth experience played with a friend. I really like the visual design of the areas and characters (RE2 and Code veronica). Same with Umbrella chronicles. The best spin-offs of the series, alltogether with the Outbreak ones.

also, pretty good save room themeOne thing I'll give Rev1 credit for is the soundtrack.
One thing I'll give Rev1 credit for is the soundtrack. It was the first game since, possibly Code Veronica, that had some really great and memorable tracks.

I want you to do a double take on that gif -- really look closely.
Looks fucking gay, like they just ran some smoothing filters over it in photoshop.If anybody is interested here is a link for upscaled background images for the gamecube version of resi 2:

Pretty much. It's like those Scumm emulations when they use those shitty filters to hide the pixels, but make the game a blurry clusterfuck.Looks fucking gay, like they just ran some smoothing filters over it in photoshop.If anybody is interested here is a link for upscaled background images for the gamecube version of resi 2:

Well there is not a lot you can do considering those are images and not textures.Looks fucking gay, like they just ran some smoothing filters over it in photoshop.If anybody is interested here is a link for upscaled background images for the gamecube version of resi 2:
