Resident Evil General Discussion Thread

That item management between Claire and Chris was quite bad and confusing, one of the many reasons why I dislike CV.

I pound the table on this constantly, if there's one game that desperately needs a remake, it's Code: Veronica.

Like could you imagine an RE-engine version of Wesker?

It would be beautiful

SW is lots of fun so far. Sure they recycle a lot of places from the main game but with just enough twists to make it interesting. Playing as Ada feels smoother too.

Voice acting is still mediocre at best though.

Finished Code Veronica. Definitely a much smoother playthrough, although I did still die to Alexia a couple times at the end. Thankfully it just restarts you right before the boss fight starts, so that's nice. I think my favourite part of the game is the first half with Claire. I think it's the most consistent and enjoyable with the best atmosphere, plus I just love playing as her. Some of the antarctica sections are where this game could definitely benefit from a remake. Although I do like the part where the Mansion Hall from RE1 is recreated. All in all, it's a great game that just has some questionable design choices you need to be mindful of like the switching of characters where items can be left behind for a while if you don't store it and not being too wasteful with ammo.

Finally got myself some Resident Evil games on my Steam account. I'm really looking forward to playing through these classics again on PC.

You know I'm a fan of RE4 when I play the PC, PS2 and Remake versions all at the same time. Thought it'd be fun to compare each one to see the differences, it really makes you appreciate the visual leap between the versions. Especially the Remake, which just looks crazy when you start playing it right after seeing the original's visuals. After playing the HD versions for so long, it felt so strange playing the PS2 again, especially at its native resolution. I do think in a way though it has a charm about it, much like the old RE games on PS1. I think it makes the Village section a bit creepier. I do think it's impressive what they were able to achieve with the hardware, I still think it's one of the best looking PS2 games.

Also I played some Outbreak, which is I think one of the most underrated games in the series. I love the different variety of characters and abilities with them having certain strengths. It makes it fun to do different playthroughs. The level design itself was also really neat. It's also quite a difficult game.

Even though I own the game on Xbox Series X, I decided to pick up RE4 Remake on PS5 because I own every single RE game on both playstation and xbox(double dipper) and I wanted to have the game for when i get PSVR2.

I just finished chapter 2 of the game and I gotta say it's way better on PS5 than it is on Xbox. Not gameplay wise or anything its about the same but the damn controller speaker and vibrations are killing it. Both PS5 and Switch have done amazing improvements with the rumble features while Xbox seems to be pretty basic with it.

I'm going to share my cheat sheets that I use for the game. I recommend obviously playing for real the first time but you paid for the game do whatever you want I just use these when I'm trying to kill some shit and have fun without thinking too hard about it.

For some reason the only puzzles I always struggle with are the electronic terminals in RE4

 

[Butters]

I don't think any are that complicated but it's nice to have a guide to just blaze through it. The hardest one for me is the hexagon puzzle in RE4 remake lately. I just don't have the patience

Also an update, since buying RE4 on PS5, I have unlocked all the weapons and attires. The only thing really holding me back from a platinum I think is the shooting range(i just don't wanna do it) and beating Del Lago without missing a harpoon. I've watched youtube vids that make it look easy as hell but I just can't do it
