Made a thread on the RE2make development still being "on track"

Yeah, I hope for 4/5 with strafe and shoot. It can work if the AI gets a boost and the ammo remains relatively scarse. Perhaps no overkill in melee attacks, Leon is still green here and it doesn't suit RE2.
I do know that i don't want to go back to classic camera and tank controls.
Duringng the first half of VII i wouldn't even mind an FP approach. They nailed the immersion.

If that's what you want, why wish for a RE2make at all and not just for a new game in the vein of action RE?
Well we don't really know what REmake 2 will be, it could very well be an action RE.
I've been thinking about an idea that i'd love to see implemented in RE8. It's no mystery that we'll probably play with a new character again in RE8 and a classic character will make a cameo.
What if they make RE8 the survival horror game and make a side action game where we play with the classic character involved in that game ? It would be like Separate Ways on steroids with RE8 playing like RE7 and the side game playing like RE4/5.
Both fanbases would be pleased and it could be something "new" and refreshing for the franchise.
Amazing idea i must say.

It would make the game incredibly boring and remove just about any challenge from the majority of the game, that's for sure.

You can't put RE2 and challenge in the same sentence, about all the three main Action RE's are more challenging than RE2, if that's what we're going to talk about here.
I like both kinds of RE, had more fun with Action RE in the long run, but all that don't matter, the important thing is, if someone wants RE2 Remake to become Action RE, that just tells me they never liked RE2 in the first place in which case I gotta ask why ask for RE2 to be remade at all.
And let's not forget that REmake HD's surprise success (To Capcom at least.) led to them greenlighting the RE2make in the first place.
ROFL. RE5 and RE6 don't even have the same camera style... RE5 is ots, RE6 free cam.
I swear people who advocating for RE2make being action game instead of survivor horror like the original should be banned. Permanently! If you people want an action RE game, wait till Capcom gives you one sometime in the future, probably in form of Revelations 3. SH fans waited for RE to come back to it's roots since 2002 so all those cries now from action fans are pretty lol worthy imo. I'm SO fucking glad RE7 is na horror game and treats action only in smaller doses in DLC.
Does anybody who likes both kinds of RE (i.e. action and survival horror) prefer the survival horror kind?
For some reason it just seems to me like the vast majority of people who like both kinds actually prefer action, whereas the people who only like one kind are the ones who prefer survival horror. I feel like I very rarely, if ever, see someone who only likes action RE, at least among people who are franchise enthusiasts and not just "yea I remember playing RE5 with my bud when it came out, didn't like REmake HD when I tried it though."

OTS Cam =/= action.
Why remake RE2 if it keeps classic cam and tank controls? I'm fine with the original still. REmake was awesome in 2001 but from a 2018 RE2 remake i expect more than that tbh.
OTS cam with tougher enemies and limited firepower works. A camera is just a viewpoint. Though it immensely helps the shooting (you can also miss shots). Even classic RE2 had lots of shooting by the way.
Why people want a change? To play a classic in a fresher form, with updated controls and more immersion. Its why the fabled FFVII remake is so hotly anticipated as well.

I love both styles, but prefer horror. Action games are fine in the newer tittles, but I never want to see it inject into remakes of the old ones.

Much like I said in the other thread. I think the big issue is they haven't said anything about RE2make yet. The game being called a REmake is really only having this debate because we have another REmake to look at in the series.
However I think there are numerous factors that'll play into what it turns into. I doubt we'll get a full-on action game. I think the safest bet will be RE7 but with a few more mechanics and third person.
Just because it won't be fixed. Doesn't mean it'll suddenly be a bad game or not bad survival horror after all.
Something like that would be pretty cool. Especially for more divided fans it'd keep both involved with one another.
This is generally what I see as well. Only time it isn't the case is if they liked RE4 and didn't like any of the other action titles. I know from a personal standpoint it's easier for me to jump in and play action RE. Than it is to play the Fixed style which I enjoy. But have to prepare myself for.

Just completed RE7 on normal. I'd say it's a top 3 game this year, I'll have to revise my rankings now. Awesome game. Next up is Dino Crisis on Dreamcast (just got my VGA box, so I can have the best quality pixels) and then Code Veronica. I'll most likely get RE2 and 3 on Dreamcast too, since both games support VGA. : )
I generally found the DC versions to be the best ones. I also used to own CV Complete on DC which was or still is the definitive version of this game.
If so I hope I wish it is changeable so people don't throw a fit.

Anyone with Resident Evil 5 on Xbox One who can give me one of each egg?
Nice. I hope you make a LTTP on Dino Crisis
Nice. I hope you make a LTTP on Dino Crisis
I'm considering making one, hopefully early next year. I played the game a little before getting the VGA box and It felt great. Raptors feel similar to Hunters in REmake, hopefully they don't have the 1 hit kill move hunters have which has ruined quite a few of my 3 hour (and knife only) runs in that game. I have the Japanese version of the game but I also bought the U.S version which hasn't arrived yet. I'll probably wait till I get the US version since I feel I'm missing on quite a bit of story, even if the dialogue is in English along with parts of the menu.
Nice one. I've had the VGA box for about 4 years now and it's really good. RE2 and RE3 look very sharp on it. Sadly though I can't play Dino Crisis or Code Veronica with the VGA box because those games are only 50HZ in the EU and the VGA box doesn't support 50HZ. So that kinda sucks.
Yeah, Resident Evil 2 and 3 are best on Dreamcast, though I hear that the GameCube versions are pretty close.
Here's my Resident Evil and Dino Crisis stuff. I also have 4 and 5 on Steam. I play 5 with a friend every now and then.
Still haven't bought Resident Evil 7. I also want to get the Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles on Wii. I've been thinking about getting 4 and maybe 5 and 6 on Xbox One as well. Maybe eventually I'll pick up Dino Crisis on Dreamcast, too. It wasn't announced yet when I got the PlayStation version.

I just finished The End of Zoe DLC. Since Joe is never mentioned in the game or any of the DLCs I thought they'd
Instead, I was surprised they actually played the premise completely straight.
have a goofy-ass Resident Evil twist where, after his defeat in the campaign, MonsterJack split into an Evil half and a Good half!!! Joe is the good half! MutantJack is the Evil half!!! Oh no! After defeating his evil half he begins to disappear because of ~~drama~~ and injects Zoe with the cure before dying and vanishing as if he never existed!!!!1 When that wasn't the case I even thought Zoe was just dreaming the entire thing/Joe was just a hallucination since most of the characters seemed to ignore him at the end even if that would make the entire DLC nonsensical.
One thing that bothers me about RE2 on Gamecube (And the DC version is probably the same.) and yeah, I know it's the most minor of nitpicks, but because different camera angles during cutscenes load much faster, some of the music is out of sync with the cutscene.
That's especially noticable in Leon A when Ada gets shot near the end.
This was also an issue in some of the PSN releases (The japanese Version suffered from this, while the US version did not, weirdly enough.) where some scenes took too long to load, but the music obviously kept playing.

Great pics as always
That's close to $20 USD which I think is a bit more fair of a price. Though I'd say You'd probably only get about 5 hours out of it all unless you're achievement hunting
continued off my Re4 game where the gun dealer got killed by the villagers. Good news, he came back right at the next location he is suppose to appear =) i got my free punisher.
man... been a while since i played this game. forgot what items to get or hold off on. i skipped the Medium size case upgrade. sold off the shotgun for room and got the rifle and scope. not sure if selling the shotgun was a good idea...
i barely upgrade anything except firepower for handguns thinking there's a new gun coming down the line.
i'm going to boot up re2 and see if i can grab some good shots of Leon.Claire

How much of the season pass is story based? Do you recommend buying it in the latest sale?
Is End of Zoe included in the Season pass?
Is End of Zoe included in the Season pass?
Not a Hero and End of Zoe are both story-based, imo they're necessary parts of the story that close off some hanging plot threads that didn't get resolved in the base game. I also consider the final boss of Not a Hero the "real" final boss of the game as a whole.
The DLC called "Daughters" from the first batch of DLC is also story-focused.
End of Zoe is in the season pass. I don't think the season pass was a good value to be honest, even if I did really like End of Zoe. But I don't mind since I'm happy to support the game. I would recommend just buying End of Zoe individually if it's a cheaper option.
So only three parts has story?
What order should I play them in?
Even in the latest sale you wouldnt recommend the season pass?
Right, this is the reason why I upgraded from my original PAL Dreamcast to a region free one a couple weeks ago so that I can play all the games (Code Veronica, Skies of Arcadia, etc.) I want in VGA mode. I originally thought about buying all the classic RE titles on Gamecube (I prefer the GC controller, I have a Wii with component cables), but I read that the PAL versions of RE2, RE3 on GC only support 50hz. A real bummer since it would have been awesome to have the complete Resident Evil Gamecube/Wii collection but I'm fine with playing the games on Dreamcast when I finally get them.
Edit. Homebrew on Wii could be a possibility too, just to bypass the region lock and get the U.S. versions of RE2 and 3, so I'm not sure what to do just yet. I'll figure this out some time next year.

I started to know about the franchise with 4, and it quickly became one of my favorite titles ever alongside Resi 5 years later. But when RE7 was announced, i decided to go backwards (even if i already knew most of what happened in each title, at least story-wise) and tried HD REmaster and Resident Evil 2 in the same year, almost a decade without playing horror focused titles. After that, 7 didn't disappoint and months later i finished Code Veronica as well. It became clear that i vastly prefer the classic/survival horror games inside the franchise.
Definitely in the minority tho.
I experienced RE chronologically, I like RE1, 2, 3, CV, REmake, 0, Outbreak, Outbreak 2, 4, 5 Mercenaries and 7, and want classic-style RE2make, FPS RE8, Mercenaries HD and a big budget OTS subtitled RE with good and unique combat like 4-6, so I'm not sure where I fall in the wacky-dandy-doo arbitrary categories of RE fans. Honestly I find the whole taking sides and the selfish wanting of everything to cater to you to be pointless, puerile and, well, selfish. The most logical move from Capcom would be to appeal to all sides of the fanbase with different products. It might not make the most money short term but, aside from shareholders and salesEra, who cares. It's the most prudent decision long-term.

For RE4 I felt inventory space was the most important. Shotgun should never be sold, unless you have the better version. As for best handguns, its mostly between the Red 9 and the Blacktail.
And the Rifle, yeah, the BAR is fucking swagger. I never parted with it in any playthrough. Also, 30 firepower.

You know. I wonder why Umbrella Corps wasn't on Xbox One. I mean regardless of its quality. Was kinda odd that's the only RE game since the Umbrellas Chronicles HD collection to skip the Xbox family.
Wonder if it had to do with the budget and small team of newcomers. Who probably couldn't handle doing 3 versions so they stuck with just PS4 and PC instead (cutting their losses since it wouldn't have sold much more than it did on either of those platforms even if it was on Xbox)

I want Remake2 to be just like the first REmake, Mikami did a great job. But that's just my opinion though hahah
Even though 6's Mercenaries is really fun, I prefer 5's over it.
Well, most of the DLC in the first batch (i.e. both Banned Footage volumes) is technically "story-related" but most of it doesn't really impact the main story in any meaningful way. They're cool one-off sequences but beyond that...I don't know, they're just kind of "there."
Where is the season pass on sale? PSN? It's still $30 on Steam which is grossly overpriced if you ask me.
Play the main game, then Daughters, then Not a Hero, then End of Zoe. You can skip Daughters though honestly, or just YouTube it.

Yeah, I don't get this either. I understand why people say that Capcom might go the OTS route for RE2 (i.e RE2 has a big budget, and Calvin wants to appeal to a wider audience), but... Why wouldn't you just want a new game if the "REmake" you're asking for is something completely unrecognizable from the original experience? What's the point?
I want a REmake of RE2 in the Classic style, because I genuinely love that style (also, "Classic" = /= Tank Controls, only a fixed camera perspective) and think it holds up. I believe that the original gameplay style is still fun today, and I think that fixed camera angles can add dramatically got he atmosphere of a Horror game. An OTS perspective would not be able to replicate that same atmosphere.
I also want a new game in that style after more than 15 years without one, which is essentially what a fixed camera RE2 would be (it could also lead to more games being made in that style, if successful). Additionally, the original game does not hold up. It looks like got garbage now, and is hard to go back to, so a REmake in the same style as the original but with better visuals and new content (essentially what REmake was for RE1) is something I would welcome. I think these are the primary reasons many folks, like myself, wanted the game remade in the first place.
Yeah, this is actually a really cool idea!I've been thinking about an idea that i'd love to see implemented in RE8. It's no mystery that we'll probably play with a new character again in RE8 and a classic character will make a cameo.

Both fanbases would be pleased and it could be something "new" and refreshing for the franchise.
Amazing idea i must say.
Yeah, I prescribe to this as well. I love every style of RE, but OTS Action RE is my favorite style by far.

I think a big factor is peoples ideas of a Remake are different. For some making a new game in that setting is enough. Even if it's quite different. While others see a remake more as being a new coat of paint with some changes but the base gameplay the same.
Capcom is damned if they do, damned if they don't. About the only argument I'd make against Fixed Camera is it's a harder style to sell to mainstream (since they'll complain the controls are "bad" like they did when REmake was free) and Capcom doesn't necessarily listen to sales and kind of does whatever they want.
To them the sales of REmake and 0 could've been just "people wanna return to the old game settings" rather than a particular style. Then there's the factor of those sales being at $20 - $40. So perhaps even the good sales there weren't enough for them to go all in with the classic style for the budget they planned.
If you're not signed into your account you won't get trophies. Dunno about being able to play. Some games let you play without profiles. Others won't.

Very lttp with Operation Raccoon City. Started playing a few days ago. I'm having a little fun with it. Some parts are more frustrating than others. Not bothered that it's not a true Resident Evil game. I enjoy fan service. The mechanics are mostly really good, though there are all sorts of little things they could have fixed, namely the melee and how useless it can be if your character isn't facing in exactly the right direction. And of course, the cover system is very hit-or-miss. And I still can't stop trying to do the 180-turn around -- just instinctive.
Not sure what the A.I.'s fascination is with fire, but they simply seem unable to refrain from taking a bath in it. How hard is it to program the shit to avoid fire. It seems to actively look for fire so it can run into it and dance around. But sometimes the A.I. is surprisingly effective. It's a toss up too, since -- though there are still people playing online -- most human players only seem interested in sabotaging a mission.
It's definitely a guilty pleasure game. I paid $10 after shipping. I can't imagine how people felt who paid full price for it. It's got a lot of potential, actually, but they just don't seem to have put much effort into realizing it. The skill and weapon system could have been so much deeper, giving you a real incentive to keep going back to what is an incredibly short experience. I am just about to finish my first run through the campaign, and I've already unlocked most of what interests me.
This could have been a good $20 downloadable title in preparation for RE6 at the time, maybe pricing the additional missions at $5 a pack, but damn, if Capcom isn't the greediest fucking publisher on the planet. But Slant Six seems to have done a decent job for their part. I mean, considering the time and resources they likely had to work with.

Speaking of ORC. I think there's a HIGH chance that Capcom purposefully held the Spec Ops campaign off the main game due to greed.
They're a substantial part of the game and should've been part of the main package. Since just one campaign is very short.
ORC a lot better than it given credit for. Didn't help that at release was a lot of straight up lies being spread by people who were against the game.
Thanks! I do like trophy hunting. I was waiting for the Season Pass to hit sub £20 as I heard the Banned Footages weren't great.
I'll be getting this when I get payed then. Excited to jump into RE7 VR again! (╯°□°）╯
