Even though Resident Evil 4 was a masterpiece...

Its hard looking back on what could have been http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGRZwypXMFg :cry:

what do u guys think would happen if that had been the choice instead of the current one we know and love today...because that one looks scarier and feels like the old ones.. :D

I hate the old ones. Terrible controls.web966

I on the contrary think the controls are what made it what it was.

RE2 is still the best game in the series. Back then it wasn't a shooter, it was a survival horror.

Now it's a shooter, like nearly every other game nowadays...

Who cares if it wasnt the same as the others? The game ended up becoming one of the best games of all time, and I disagree, RE4 was easily the best in the RE series.

I agree. It is hard to look back on that.

Due to the terrible suckiness.

Bah, Code Veronica and REmake were better. But I agree. The old one's had the atmosphere, puzzles, and story. Granted the controls and inventory needed fixing, they ruined everythikng else besides it.

That looks like crap.

Seriously, the best part of RE4 was the gameplay, that gameplay is similar to that of the old RE games, which are crappy.

That version looks like rotting, maggot infested dog ****.

RE4 FTW.

Atleast they could have just put that in the current RE4 game as Leon's "dream sequence" or something while he was riding in the car at the begining--it would have been a good and realistic way to close out the old, knowing that memories of everything he had or might of experienced haunted him abit. It's human nature that it would anyway.TecmoGirl

:o that wouldve been a great idea...they shouldve thought of that

its not that bad :lol:

People who say this, never was a fan of Resident Evil until 4, or even though a fan never liked the controls. Personally I don't think of RE4 as a "Resident Evil game" it's more of a spinoff with a few canon characters.

I honestly wish they had continued on with what they were doing in that video--and simply gave us the new aiming system and whatever other new gameplay mechanics. The atmosphere in that video felt really nostalgic--I loved it.

Yeah that could work but the resident evil 4 we have now is still better though.

Those old tank controls sucked. :x

I guess people who are looking forward to Banjo 3 never were fans of the old games. :?:roll:

People who say that RE4 is the best in the series obviously didn't enjoy the older games when they originally came out...

Either that, or they are the lot of people who jumped into video games because of the FPS invasion, and like to call themselves "hardcore gamers", despite everreally playing video games prior to the release of the PS2/Xbox...

Lemme ask you something...

Due to your user icon, I'm going to assume you are a Final Fantasy fan. Riddle me this: Did you ever purchase Final Fantasy XI...?

I actually hate every Resident Evil except for 4, which is why I am really excited for 5.Fayt445

Sounds like you like actiony shooters, and not RE at all.

In your opinion? No, that's not even necessary to say. It's a fact!(well ok not really)--but "Resident Evil: Code Veronica" was and still is the true masterpiece among "Resident Evil" games in my eyes. At one point, I thought it was Resident Evil 4 without the actual "4" in the title before I learned what a side game truely was.

CV was great, but I never got to play it thoroughly so I don't really have a solid opinion on it...

The reason I like RE2 is because it was the game that got me into survival horrors, and led me to other great games in the genre like Silent Hill and Clock Tower.

It makes me sad how RE4 turned out, that video always makes me sad because RE4 could've been the best RE game in the series, but it turned out to be the worst RE game. :(club-sandwich

My my, we sure do love making wild assumptions don't we?

Have you ever thought that maybe there is a certain group of gamers out there who played and enjoyed the older titles, and played and enjoyed Resident Evil 4, and simply like 4 more than the others because of its own merits?

I mean, I'll be the first to admit that RE4 really was not all that scary, but it was a step in the direction of emergent horror gameplay, and it was a fantastic, well paced action-horror game.

Sure, it may not be as good of a pure horror game as the previous REs, but when looked at on its own merits, I'd say that it's easily the best game game in the series, regardless of its lack of scary moments.

I really liked RE3, I think it's the best in the series and the dark horse as well....nemesis>tyrant.

Actually I did enjoy the original games, however, I enjoyed 4 more. What's the problem there?

RE 3.5

oh god, how i wish capcom would release what they did make so that we'd have something to do while we waited for 5 to come out

honestly, i think i would have enjoyed 3.5 more then what we finally ended up with

I was never a fan of RE before 4 because it was such a pain to play. The controls were terrible (or at least felt terrible next to 4), the voice acting was lauphable, and sure, the game lost a lot of the survival horror aspect, but in exchange, you still got a way better and pretty awesome game.

The controls were basically the same in four the only thing they changed were the annoying camera angles and the prerendered backgrounds

and the aiming of-course

I personally think that the scares in a RE game should come from the story, the atmosphere and the creatures. NOT in the sense of powerlessness your given by having awful controls. Lets apply YOUR philosophy to RE5 reverting to the "remote control car" scheme and make it even "better" by having the controler automatically eject from the port during key momments while you frantically jump from your chair spilling cheetohs everywhere trying to plug the cord back in while zombies eat your character's face. What an "improvement" that would be:P

The industry and fans clamored for better controls ever since 2 and when they made this HUGE improvement in 4 it was met with comercial and critical success. Naturally there are those fueled more by nostalgia then common sense who think the awful old controls were better. Go figure.

4 was the best and I think 5 might top it.

cv was fantastic, however, i actually like re3 the best. 3 has pretty much always been seen as a fans delight, and i'd have to agree with that. but i loved everything about it

though, cv featured Wesker's glorious return. Though I'm still sore that during my first play through I accidentally left the friggin fire extinguisher in one of those metal detector boxes, so later on in the game in artic when you needed it to put out that fire to reach the magnum, I couldnt. :(

no, he hasnt. he lost the internet. lost big time

how can a story scare you? Answer: It can't

you need to feel immersed. Trick yourself into thinking you're right there with the character, walking through the horror. Thats something RE4 failed to do. Failed big.
