New video from the Sewer Gators coverage of RE7's Gold Edtion, now they're talking about Chris Redfield:
Capcom seems to be acknowledging his new appearence backlash and the whole confusion with the end of Resi 7, that sparked some people's curiosity but we all know that they are just making fun of themselves and trying to be on the same page with the community. In any case, i love Pete Fabiano and it's good to see they continuing with the marketing model of the game. Some people hated it to bits, but i largely preffer what they're doing with the horror stuff.
End of Zoe still in the dark and that's for the better, it needs that fresh experience, so i hope Capcom won't blew it up right before the release.

It's funny that potentially end of Zoe will leak before "not a hero". Since that'll be on the disc while NaH isn't.
I do hope both DLCs offer story points that broaden then universe and where it's going from here. It's my biggest wonder with the base RE7 just giving more questions than answers

Not a Hero will basically answer a lot of these questions surrounding the end of RE7, i just don't know if people will like those answers.
As for End of Zoe, it seems to be highly focused on gameplay, there will be a connection to Resi 7 but basically they're aiming for other parts of the experience.

So in puzzle fighter there's a Spencer Mansion Level. I think they decided to just make their own song for the level rather than try to remix something. Since it just kinda sounds like a generic spoopy song
Maybe someone has a better ear for this. Best quality I could find. No one seems to be ripping the tracks.

It doesn't sound like an arrangement of an existing track to me either.
But the overriding impression I'm still struck by is how apocalyptically ugly the game is - it's not a new reaction by any means, but the presentation is still a serious barrier to anything else it's trying to do.
Staying within Capcom and keeping it 3D, something in line with Monster Hunter Stories' semi-chibi characters would have worked really well; and probably would have resulted in smoother performance on a wider range of phones as well as being way more visually appealing - it'd also have been a little more in line with previous Puzzle Fighters' 2D art.

Going for the platinum trophy in REmake. Only thing missing is doing invisible enemy mode and a knife-only run. So I thought I'd just do both in one...
Even cheesing it by playing on Easy, this is a bit tricky. Just got past the Crimson Head protoype.

I didn't do the knife-only run and invisible enemy mode at the same time, but the The Crimson Head Prototype 1 fight was probably the hardest for me with just the knife. I think I ended up using the alternate controls for that fight.

I mean, you don't introduce the son of the main villain of over a decade without plans to bring him back for more titles.
Figured I would ask here: I'm new to Resident Evil and have been interested in giving REmake a try. Which version would you consider the best to get? Is there a definitive version between the original GC release and the HD versions? I tend to default to the original release on these kinds of questions as a "play it the way it was originally intended" sort of thing. That said, I haven't seen any significant backlash about the reremasters from the reviews I skimmed.
Essentially the only difference between the two versions is graphical. Some graphical effects are missing from the Gamecube version and the backgrounds look a bit stretched at times if you look closely when at 1080p (apparently they didn't have the original assets, as is the case with many games before 2005, unlike with RE 0). Otherwise, they are essentially the same thing from what I know. So if you have access to a Gamecube, go ahead with that version, but don't go out of your way to play the OG release. HD is perfectly fine.
I was impressed with the HD versions and how they were able to get them to work, even with the source code lost on 1 and how they were bale to improve upon it.
I really enjoyed my run through with 0 HD. Game was smooth as hell, magical elevator and all.

Hmmm, really interesting, especially considering Kadoi worked on both Classic and Action RE games. Also awesome to know that Kamiya wanted RE2 REmade too. Thx for sharing this, Blackbird .I've been digging up more about REmake 2, hunting details and pieces of information that got lost with time (or people didn't cared to read at the time), and i found out a little bit more about the third director behind the project (Hirabayashi confirmed that were three people working on it: himself, Anpo and someone that was not revealed to us even now, one year later).
There's nothing conclusive, but it gives us a good idea of who's working with them behind the curtains:
Kazunori Kadoi was a designer in the first Resident Evil, but later he joined another team while working as a "stage planner" on Code Veronica. Talking about more recent works, he touched on Outbreak directing two specific cutscenes called "flashback" and "end of the road" that were shown on different scenarios, but he also managed to work as a character design on the same production. Later, on RE5, he became a lead designer and played a similar role on Resi 6. Apparently his last job within the franchise was somehow attached to Revelations 2, which is good to hear because he worked close with Yasuhiro Anpo on that development team, making the team synergy better knowing that almost everyone in higher positions behind REmake 2, worked together before and know each other well.
That's all speculation at this point, but master Kamiya gave us a hint to look upon and that's were it leads to.
I'm a little bit more confident about this project thinking about this. I just got back from playing Code Veronica and i'm really impressed with that game, even without knowing how much of Kadoi's influence it really has. I hope that's the case, without Kamiya helping "directly", it's always reassuring to think that someone like Kazunori is looking upon REmake 2. Maybe most of you knew already about this, but i think it's important to keep people informed about this stuff. It helps to keep the expectations in check and know what to expect in the near future, at least until we have official information from Capcom.

Do you have a CRT to play it on? The original GC version (as well as the Wii port of it) doesn't even have progression scan, and looks extremely rough and blurry on an HDTV, so CRT is really the only way to go there, Imo. As for HD version, it's worth noting that a fair amount of effort was put into it. The character models (and some backgrounds) were completely remade for the REmaster, and while many backgrounds were put through an upscaling filter, I still find that the game on the whole looks dramatically better than on an HDTV than the GC version. The only downside for me is that they changed the lighting and general look of one area for the worse,
the Aqua Ring
Also, bear in mind that the REmaster of REmake offers a new control scheme. Since you're new to RE, you may very hate the "Tank" controls of the older games, but the REmaster gives you the choice between those and the "Alternative" control scheme, which allows you to simply move in the direction you push the stick. This control scheme is terrible because it completely and utterly breaks the balance of the game, but the kids these days like these newfangled controls, so it beared mentioning. :p
Go with the HD version, the backgrounds can look a bit over-sharpened and ugly, but everything else is pretty much an improvement.
Also, like KC mentioned, I'd avoid the alternate controls, it doesn't really feel right and also when the camera changes angle you'll mostly like do a 180 and go in the wrong direction since pushing up on the analogue stick is no longer always going to be up no matter the angle like with the classic controls.
Also start off with the screen at 4:3 because the camera wasn't meant to pan around when moving (makes the backgrounds look less impressive too since it makes it more obvious that they aren't 3D), and I've noticed sometimes that items might not be visible at the edge of the screen like they normally would because 16:9 cuts off some of the image since it's zoomed in to fit the screen.
If you can play the game on GC, Wii or WiiU and have CRT - play it on that console.
If you can't, the HD release is fine. It has some issues, though. Since Capcom had to enhance original low-res backgrounds for the full HD resolution, they did it mostly by resizing them and hiding the pixels by blur, graphical effects, enhanced contrasts (the game is much darker than the original version) etc. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes passable, and sometimes (rarely, but still) it looks horrible (some locations have visible sharpening effect applied, others look as if your character run inside a painting). I recommend playing the game in the 4:3 aspect ratio (with black borders on left and right), since it downsizes background which helps hiding some of the graphical filters. On the upside, 3D models and lighting on them are better.

I'm replaying Revelations right now and remembering how I really like this game. It's a little too simple (understandable considering its original release plataform) but its very well put together. The setting is very cool, the story flows nicely enough with the different chapters giving some diversity to both gameplay and scenery. And obviously Jill, I hope she come back in the next game.
All that said I must ask, how does Revelations 2 compares to the first? I'm thinking in getting it in the steam sales. Also, should I but chapter by chapter or everything together in the package?

Well, that's it for REmake then...
First time I ever played it to completion. Never bothered doing Hard mode, Real Survival etc on the Gamecube.
Real Survival was actually pretty fun. On Normal I just end up swimming in ammo and health, not so much here. And not having access to all items in every save room really makes you consider what to take with you and where to and all that.

Rev2 had a lower budget than RE6 or 5, and you can easily notice it (visuals, gameplay, animations), but it still plays and looks good. And as a whole, the game is really, really good. Some even say it's great ;) Since it's lower-budget and episodic, Capcom experimented a little with the formula, and the experiment was much more successful than RE6. The game is once again a mix of horror and action, and in that aspect it's better than Rev1 (better scares, better puzzles, more open environments, much more consistent gameplay).
As to whether to buy chapters separately or the whole package (the Deluxe Edition). The main campaign is the best thing in the game, and the Raid mode itself will give you hours of fun. When buying the Delux Edition you get:
- two bonus scenarios, which are a mixed bag (Moira's is basically a Horde mode scenario, and Natalia's is full of stealth)
- bonus costumes (they are OK)
- Raid stuff:
-- Wesker and HUNK - worth it
-- throwback maps (IIRC there were 1 map from Rev1 and 3 from RE6) - not worth it; the mode is filled with content even in the base version
-- weapons parts, weapons, album storage - not really worth it
So if you only want to play through the campaign and spent some time in Raid mode, buying campaign chapters separately is cheaper. If you want all the game has to offer, the Deluxe Edition bundle will be better than buying things separately.
Very nice, gratitude for the answer. I'll probably pick it up.

Resident Evil: Mercenaries Vs. was released on April 14, 2011. The game and the enemies are based on Resident Evil 4, but the characters are based on Resident Evil 5.[1] It is the first Resident Evil multiplayer for iOS (17th overall in the series), and supports a two-versus-two online team match mode, "Free for all" mode (via Wi-Fi, Internet, or Bluetooth), or a one-versus-one team mode.[2][3] It also supports a single-player mode.
from Wiki.
I kinda want the apk but I cant find it anywhere. Supposedly it was trash but I still wanna try it now that I got an android.
Wow, interesting! I'd never even heard of the game before.
Oh, I'm sure it was. I would've liked to play it tho, even if only just for the novelty of it, lol. Same for RE4 Mobile, which is sadly no longer available either. :(
i've been trying to practice taking CRT pics of RE and Dino Crisis but it's so dark.
phone snaps of Jill and Regina:

Dino Crisis is more dark than RE. Thus it's the scarier game by default.
Koshi Nakanishi has a weird fetish with dark places, especially the ones you need to go back after spending some time doing other stuff. It happened on REV1 with Rachael boss fight (one of the best moments of that game) and now on RE7 with the basement/ship section.
That's something i wonder about, there's any names besides maybe Kobayashi (just assuming, hit or miss) inside Capcom that you would trust behind a new Dino Crisis?

The idea of a place where you did everything possible and became comfortable with it just to see a drastic change when you eventually returns always gets me and it's a really cool concept imo.
that's the absolute best close up shot of Jill i ever got. took me an hour to get it right =P Regina's face is more detailed but i need to find an ingame location with good lighting and camera angle. i'm going to try to do a close up of psx Rebecca next. i wonder if the N64 Re0 model was the same exact Rebecca as re1.
i threw Regina in there for OP but the game's lighting is so dark!
i personally like Gail, he's the best.

Only 2 day until REv 1 and 2 on switch as well.
Lots of RE this year
Huge DMC leaks but nothing on RE2make. C'mon, I need info on HD Raccoon City!
Speaking of which, I'm sticking to my prediction that it will outsell RE7 on character and setting recognition (people know Leon, Claire, Ada and Sherry), regardless of gameplay. Plus the DLC potential for Capcom to support it for a year is extremely high. You can have a HUNK campaign and Mercs mode for action-based like Not A Hero.

I think we have to wait till E3 for any RE2make info. Kinda hope between now and then Capcom announces and release Revelations 3.

Yeah my bets are still on DMC5 VGA/PSX. RE2make E3 2018.
Everyone seems to agree these are their next two titles. Unless they got one hell of a surprise in store

I wonder what direction they will take on the Revelations series (if they will continue with it all), it was supposed to be low budget and the horror focused side of the franchise, but that basically switched with 7.
Jaw said that in the past, but low budget + action won't help to create what these type of fans are expecting and love about more recent titles, so it will be interesting to see how they could translate that into a minor project and more focused title. But who knows, maybe RE8 will get a mixture of both or even come back to a more action horror focused line, everything is possible right now.
