The remake has so far sold significantly lower than its predecessors…
The modern entertainment industry has witnessed the rise of the Resident Evil franchise as one of its most renowned and celebrated multimedia phenomena. With numerous video games released across multiple platforms, it can be daunting for newcomers to determine where to commence their journey. So here is every main mainline Resident Evil Games ranked.
In preparation for the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 Remake, let’s take the liberty to rank each of the mainline story instalments, providing players with a fundamental comprehension of the Resident Evil universe.
You'll need to own a copy of the original of course but the mod is free.
From Xfire: "The Resident Evil franchise is back, perhaps better than ever, with critics and audiences alike singing nothing but praises for the latest mainline installment, Resident Evil Village. Naturally, the latest Resident Evil game brings even more nightmare-inducing moments to the tally, adding werewolves and nine-foot-six tall vampires to the mix."
RE1's first zombie encounter was definitely creepy in its own right, but it was the Cerberuses that jump through the hallway windows that gave most people a fright. You didn't know what to expect at that point, as nowhere felt safe. Furthermore, not only does the back of the game box mention (let alone show) zombies, but the official strategy guide prominently featured a zombie on the cover as well. It wasn't a secret.
Everything else is on point though.
I agree, you knew something was going to happen with the window. I kept walking past and nothing, so I let my guard down thinking I was paranoid.
RE8 had some scary moments. Most of the moments are when you don't know how to survive, like the fetus. There is one aspect that scared me more and it is a spoiler.
Okay, here is a puzzle that Capcom did perfect. You go on into this wooden shed. There is a table with a piece of paper on top and a safe on the bottom. The safe needs a 6-digit code to open. The paper says "look out the window... you grip about looking out the window. When you look, the code is across the buildings. They made you think something would scare you. So you try lining up the code and then this lycon pops up howling! Haha, I shit my pants. That was terrifying and one of the best scares I have ever had.
Well when you don't take the time and put in as much love and care like you did with RE2 Remake its not surprising at all. You rushed out another remake only a year later. You bundled it with a multiplayer no one wanted so you could charge $60 instead of a lower price point since you knew the remake was short and much of the original was cut. It would've done really well at a $30-40 price point. But instead this seemed like a cheap cash grab compared to what you released only a year prior.
Downgrade the Physics Massively That’s what made RE2 Remake so good.
Make the game 4 hours long cut a lot of content From the original game that made it so special
Tack on a MP game that nobody wanted to justify the full price
The nemesis was underwhelming
This is what happens if you get a 2nd team in with not as much talent as the 1st team... people don’t buy it
Personally I enjoyed the game. But I can definitely tell it was rushed. I do understand why it was rushed though. It had a lot to do with resident evil 8 village.
Just about everyone saw this coming. They dropped a well manicured game in RES2, then 2 seconds later they rushed out RES3 at the same price.
