That's cool. This is like the one thing more than any other that ORC has going for it, it's a nostalgic trip down RE memory lane, just mordernised and actionised (new word?).

I can't help but shake the feeling it's going to be rather pants, but the allure of 4-player co-op and other modes may just be enough to make it of interest as RE6 still feels so far, far away.

Awesome. Such fond memories. RE2 was one of the best.

does this game worth buying ?. i seen a video of it , it's not like resident evil games , it's more like socom

Ghost2504423d ago

exactly its not like other RE, the reason why its more like SOCOM is because the people who made socom confrontation made this game. as for buying it, it depends on personal taste this game is basically resident evil outbreak on steroids

FinaLXiii4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

The CGI from this game is really the only good thing about it.

Stupid Capcom LISTEN TO FANS.

RaidensRising4423d ago

Awww come on that's a bit harsh isn't it.

FinaLXiii4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

yes but you better be harsh with publishers like Capcom or they will never learn to ensure great quality titles.

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)

Dudeson36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

New Resident Evil 2 Remake Fixed Camera Mod Adds A Nostalgic Twist

A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.

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?

TheBrainZ67d ago

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

kevco3367d ago

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.

Neonridr67d ago

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

Babadook766d ago

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

Neonridr66d 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.

__y2jb67d 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.

rippermcrip67d 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.

KyRo67d 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.

FYouDad66d 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.
