In this episode we look at Resident Evil Remake for the Nintendo Gamecube. A remake of the classic Resident Evil, this takes the graphics to new heights, introduces a whole bunch of new areas to explore and mixes up the gameplay. Even if you’ve already played a Resident Evil before, you should watch this video to see why you should play the remake! - See more at: http://casuallyhardcore.com...
REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?
The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.
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.
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.
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.
Capcom has been bringing Resident Evil fans on a trip down memory lane since 2019, but that nostalgic adventure will have to come to an end soon.
Well, we still have a few that people are asking for: Resident Evil Code Veronica, Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil 5. People aren't really asking for 6 or the others but they could potentially tackle some of the least liked entries to "fix" them.
I feel this way about all remakes but its simply not true in the sense that fans still crave more remakes even when you get into the messier games like 5. If it gives them more time to craft mainline entry rather than rush I am not against it
That doesn't matte. RE7 and Village was ok. They can contunie the way, with em or with that style..
Code Veronica is the next obvious remake imo.
Arguably 0 and 1 but they've already had HD touchups which are currently more than enough. Again, in my opinion.
Code Veronica
Then an expanded remake of the first game (it’s been 20 years since the original remake)
Then after that they can do Outbreak
They have a few to keep them going but if they do RE5 this is where they need to change things. I want it to be like the original reveal trailer where it was just Chris going’s solo, a single player survival horror game. They even spoke of things like heat exhaustion and being blinded by the sunlight if you stepped outside after spending too long in doors.
With some of the franchise's best games already being remade, Capcom may be running out of Resident Evil games that fans want to revisit.
Really though?
After they gave RE3 to their second team and it didn’t so well fan reception wise compared to the RE2 remake they took the RE4 remake off them and gave it to the main team.
My point is that if they stick to their main team and they remade the first Resident Evil again (it’s been over 20 years now), Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Code Veronica then you have a solid 3 games to get through. Each game would take about 3 years or so, making that 9 years before they face any issue and by then who knows they’ll hopefully use the remake timeline to just redo RE5 and change the story to softboot the entire franchise.
They should give their second team RE Outbreak and just focus their online efforts into that instead
🤦♂️ seriously?! I’m loving the REmakes myself, but it’s not a problem at all. Once they run out, Capcom will do what it’s been doing, making brand new RE games. As lucrative as it is, and cool that they’re making a more cohesive feeling universe, the remakes aren’t the future of the franchise.
Here's the state of the industry.
Being worried there might not be enough content to resell to us again.
Imagine actually just making solid new titles. They're already "remaking" Horizon Zero Dawn. This crap is getting way overboard.
The good old days of Resident Evil Franchise. =(
I find it frustrating that I can't buy so many of these older games on the Nintendo's e shop or psn.One would think by now all this stuff would be for sale.Don't these publishers and company's like money?The only way to get most of it is pay high prices on Amazon and ebay.Or so called stealing it online.But is it rely stealing if the maker's aren't selling it anymore at any price?Their creating a bigger problem because there are a lot of us that would gladly pay for them.You can buy just about any old movie dating back 100 years.But even games as little as 5 up to 30 years old not so much.
Still one of the best games made IMO and this is my Favorite of the series. If you have not ever played the remake of RE for the gamecube, find a copy! Truely Capcom at their best before they turned to crap.
Loved, loved, loved this game! The main reason I got a Gamecube.
