Kudos to the maker good vid,be like winning the gaming lotto to me if capcom ever remade the earlyer games, i live in hope that 1 day it happens.

The remake of resi 1 on gamecube was how remakes should be done! Sooo good!

The odd thing about this footage is that is just reminds me how incredible fixed camera angles were at scaring the living crap out of me. For me RE4 and beyond never quite captured the pure terror from RE 1,2, and 3, and I'm guessing it's partly due to the camera angles.

This shows why PC is the best gaming platform around. Some guys with a lot of heart made a game that not even a AAA console dev can do.

We don't pay big bucks just for the graphics, it's the whole open platform we get.

Totally agree with you on the heart and effort the guy put into making the game and it could only be made on pc but the part about a AAA console dev not being able to do it is floating around phantasy land somewhere its just there choice not to make it and im also a multiple console owner but im no p*ss stinking console peasant like you called us below just my choice of platform,enjoy your pc.

SPAM-FRITTER-1233657d ago

Fair comment cfc78. It can technically be done by console devs but they refuse to and end up making another sequal that nobody cares for or just make an old game 1080p and sell it for £30, then they go complaining about how bad there sales are.

Yes they CAN make it BUT they won't.

cfc783657d ago

You might be right and it never gets made but i think we all have a game series or games that we never give up hope on resi's 1 of mine and im sure you have some to.been good chatting cya around.

TitanUp3656d ago

i want a reboot at this point, forget about remakes just reboot the series and put some romance in there.

RamboRabbi3657d ago

Would have been amazing if he remade Nemesis with Resi 4 mechanics and gameplay, anyhow this is better than anything capcom have done since 2005 for the franchise, well done!

Venoxn4g3656d ago

well, I have enjoyed Revelations, but I get your point :)

maniacmayhem3657d ago

That is pretty cool. Resident Evil 1,2 and 3 are classics among the gaming universe.

nucky643657d ago

vid reminds me of when capcom knew what they were doing. how, in the name of all that is good, has capcom screwed up the RE franchise so badly?

cfc783657d ago

I know 1 thing i'll never have the memories of 4,5,6 that i have with 1,2,3 the games were true to the name back then not action movie rip off's like today though i did really enjoy 4.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

New Resident Evil 2 Remake Fixed Camera Mod Adds A Nostalgic Twist

A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.

REmake vs. Resident Evil 2: Which Remake Template is Better?

REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?

TheBrainZ68d ago

The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.

kevco3368d ago

I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.

Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.

Neonridr68d ago

tank controls just don't work in this day and age.

Babadook767d ago

I think Tomb Raider still works but RE I'm not sure.

Neonridr67d ago

@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.

__y2jb68d ago

Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.

rippermcrip68d ago

I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.

KyRo68d ago

Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.

FYouDad67d ago

Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
