LOL Number 13 is Ada Wong red freaking dress and number one Ada Wong trench coat.. what ?

Hellbound19781923d ago

I find it interesting that Leon's Noir outfit is accurate to 1940's attire, yet Claire's Noir outfit is just some game designer's idea of ''cute'' or ''hip''. I guess a female in a dress is too traditional and would make people's head explode nowadays. For the record I'm quite aware of the absurdity of arguing historically accurate attire in a game about a zombie outbreak, just an observation.

Ughh, can you people stop with that: "This game has, like, 1 to few fantasy/sci-fi elements and thus it's completely okay to assume that NOTHING has to be realistic about it." -attitude?

DaveZero1923d ago

What kind of daftness was that..

I chuckled when Birkin showed up on this list

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)

Dudeson56d ago (Edited 56d 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.

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?

TheBrainZ87d ago

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

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.

Neonridr87d ago

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

Babadook786d ago

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

Neonridr86d 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.

__y2jb87d 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.

rippermcrip87d 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.

KyRo87d 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.

FYouDad87d 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.
