VGChartz's Evan Norris: "With Resident Evil 7 out in the wild, it seems like a good time to revisit the mainline series — apologies to the Revelations and Outbreaks of the RE universe. The first RE game I played was Resident Evil 2 on N64 and I remember falling in love with the scary, creepy, violent, challenging, and, ultimately, rewarding world of Shinji Mikami and company. Since then I've played every series game I can find and have enjoyed almost all of them.
What follows is my personal ranking of the nine mainline RE games, Resident Evil 7 included."
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)
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.
If you're looking for 'must have' PSVR 2 games then look no further. These are the 10 titles every PSVR 2 owner should have in their library.
If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.
Speak with your wallet!
Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.
They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.
I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.
I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work
On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.
Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.
Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.
Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol
People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha
@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones
I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!
I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.
As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.
I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.
But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios
The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset
GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.
I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.
I have most of them 😅
Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.
I started replaying all of them after finishing 7 and i would take RE1 Remake and Zero Remake over those sluggish ports of 4-6 on my console anytime. The controls feel so stiff and aiming is pure pain. I remember playing 4 on Wii where it was ok at best but by todays standards i can't defend any of the third person entries. Hopefully they go with fixed cameras on the RE2 Remake and stick to first person with the next games in the main series. Revelations can still be third person for all i care.
In before "Resident Evil VII doesn't count!" comments...
1,3,2,O,7,4
Imo
Really enjoy 7 but I'm a sucker for the OG style. 4 is an amazing game but it's not really survival horror RE
You forgot to also list both Revelations games
Ok my list ( I have yet to play revelation 2 so it,s not on my list)
- #5
dumb AI and dragging level make this one the last (1st level is awesome but the rest meh)
- Revelation1
just never was invested into it, nothing bad, nothing good
- Zero
Iove the train level, the speech and new mechanics but the rest was average
- Veronica
Nothing bad to say but nothing great, It's a resident evil game in the old style of game
- Outbreak 1 and 2
Ok Hard disk is a must, but it's left 4 dead countless years before left 4 dead. This one is, in my opinion, a hidden gem the franchise and who doesn't love Jim Chapman coin.
#6
Yeah! COD Redfield scenario suck but on the flip side Leon was awesome, the game was long, the idea to hinder others' game was great and also the boss takedown mode was nice. Perhaps my expectations were so low that I was more than please when I played it.
Darkside and Unbrella Chronicles
Just a love letter to Resident evil fan, you can revisit all your favorite pre 4 moments.
#1 remake
Damn window dogs! Damn crimson heads, Damn Lisa Trevor
2
Ok Mr X punching thru wall = massive pee in pants, But what set this one so High was the branching scenario with the great unlocking making this game so fun to replay.
3
STAAAAAAAAAARS
Play this game on hard, whisper nooooo when you hear STAAAAAAARS.
Plus the random element adds a lot had several jumps scares for birds flyings out car windows.
7
Play this game in VR and just tell me how safe you feel when you see the freaking BEES. Everything in this game is great, the music, the setting, the Bakers and some hard to make choices.
4
in my opinion 1 of the top 5 games of all time
Perfect control at the time, Kicking a zombie in the face is awesome, never get tired of mercenaries, Incredible extra content and DR SALVADOR. Honestly how powerful did you felted when you saw him the 1st time? and more importantly, did you had a renewed respect for his chainsaw after your death?
