reHorror writes: "The Resident Evil series over the years has grown, branched off and changed in a few directions over the years since its first release back in 1996. Some of these changes have been commended and been thought of as good improvements by newcomers and hardcore Resident Evil fans the world over, but the one area other than story that has probably divided fans more is that of the camera perspective."
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 personally didn't enjoy any of the RE movies, except for MJ being in them of course, but one thing that could revitalize the RE game series would be to take at least one aspect from the movies and put it into a game; you, the player, gets to play as one of the bio weapons, one of the test subjects that breaks free of the lab, or is inadvertently set loose instead of always playing as a kind of "investigator" thrown into the fray; it's not like you'd have to be a zombie/mutant thing or anything, just regenerative health, maybe some kind of augmented perceptions and then standard run and gun with a bit more of the old fashioned, close quarters, tension combat stuff..
Res Evil peaked for me with Res Evil 2 (that game was awesome!), Res 3 was enjoyable but just didn't capture the same vibe as Res 2 in my opinion, close, but no cigar.
I liked the Gamecube remakes alot and thought they were outstanding graphically for the time, the story was also solid.
I enjoyed the new gameplay style of Res 4 and thought it was a step in the right direction with the over the shoulder camera but the story had already started to lose what made it so great by then in my opinion (the whole Ganados thing just didn't feel like true Res Evil).
Since then it's lost alot of it's appeal for me, it just feels tainted and the story has lost it's direction. I played the demo of 5 hoping for good things but it just didn't do it for me, i still haven't bothered to pick it up.
For me Dead Space stepped up and took Res Evil's rightful place as the true survival horror king, that game was awesome and the series has lots of potential story wise.
I think Capcom should do a Barry Burton on the Res Evil series now......give it a Magnum round to the head and put it down for good. It's tried to get back up way too many times already.
I think they should combine the new style camera and action elements with the old style horror feel. I would like the next RE game to have a more "spooky" feel. I want to be kept nervous and tense. I want the corridors I walk to be creepy and ominous. These are elements the first game had about right.
I know it's not a RE staple but as we are talking about reinvention I think it would be fun to see a more paranormal/ghost based RE. In fact, thinking about it, did any of you see the "hook man" gameplay from RE 4? I think that nicely sums up the atmosphere and mechanics I would like to see for the next game. In RE 4 I agree it didn't fit but in a new game it might.
IMO, the series ended when Raccoon City got nuked. There was no need for 0, C.V., the Outbreak games and 4 and 5. Those games were basically Capcom milking the franchise.
I hope they don't make another one...but they will. I won't be buying it, though. That being said, Capcom could learn a thing or two from E.A. Redwood.
A little off-topic, but I hope that everyone involved with the RE films die very slow and painfull deaths from cancer and AIDS. Especially Paul W.S. Anderson.
