Was Resident Evil 2 the best resident evil game an survival horror game?

basically you had a gun the thing ran outa ammo all the time, an like u were like always on edge

these new ones all just like timing events an like ur guns always gonna tons of ammo an its like a arcade game im not scared at all an like i feel like im just wrecking massives amounts of stuff an like just no dude this is survival this isn't omg i gotta be worried dude

u kno?

maybe im just nostaligic an like old games but dude there something very diff with restident evil 2 an like resident evil 4 an 5 i dunno what is but i see something in the gameplay diff

RE4 is and always will be the greatest game ever made. It's not really survival horror but that doesn't matter. The game is perfect every which way.

As for best survival horror, my pick would be Silent Hill 3.

Hell yeah man. It's the only game where I actually had to take breaks from playing it. It freaked me out that much.

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] That's my personal fav. It's still easier than the Resident Evil 1 -> Code Veronica games, but it's offset by its incredible cerebral horror.FrozenLiquid

That brings back fond memories. I kind of forgotten that sound played such an important role in making SH3 so frightening. I wish more games today were like that. Dead Space does a great job with it's sound but the game it's self isn't really scary.

The one moment of SH3 that will always stand out in my mind is when you knocked on the bathroom stall door, walked away, and then the door slowly opened by it's self. That right there was enough to make me pause the game. You seldom see brilliance like that in video games anymore. My hat is off to Team Silent, one of the greatest developers out there.

System Shock 2 is the best survival-horror game. That game had me on edge more than any RE or Silent Hill title.drinkerofjuice

That's my second fav. I find it in between the gameplay edge of RE and the cerebral edge of Silent Hill though.

RE4 nailed it, perfect balance of action,horror/gore elements and puzzles..oh yeah and a servicable story :P

never played 2 or 3... but from what ive understood over the years... the series has mostly been about bioterrorism, whether the zombie fans want to admit it or not. A virus causing all these 'monsters' and mutations.. Hence why its called biohazard in japan. The series gets too much hate post re3campzor

I think alot of the Purists miss the oldschool games more for the survival and exploration aspects..and were generally dissapointed with RE4-5 for lack of these said features. (this will probably be the case with RE6 as well)

I actually enjoyed the Foggy European Village/Countryside setting in RE4 and the Las Plagas.Was atmospheric and a few times reminded of HP Lovecraft.

RE2 is easily the best RE I have played. RE2MAKE!!

REmake is the only survival horror game in the series, imo.

Resident Evil 4 was the best Resident Evil game. REmake was the best survival horror game ever. Silent Hill 3 is up there aswell though.

Nope, REmake was.

In a lot of peoples eyes it would be the best but for me the original is still superior. I usually try to finish it once a year.

I think it is a great game and i think it is the best RE game...best Survival Horror game? sadly no, for me is either SH3 or Fatal Frame 2.

I think a game worth mentioning is Silent Hill 2. That is game just scares me

It has a great atmosphere that makes you feel uneasy the first time you play it...at least until you reach the castle.

RE2 was a great game and was my fav when it came out but my heart is set in REmake it just filled in such a great backstory

Master_ShakeXXX

RE2 is the best. In that era, it was the best.
The Licker Scene!

RE4 got more mass appeal.
Hence.. RE4 = RE5 = RE6.
Same format and plus the story has evolved and characters to learn to stock up on ammo now ;)

Atmospherically it was creepy and gave off a perfect horror atmosphere it had its moments where you did jump.

RE: Remake > RE 2 > RE: Code Veronica. That's for the series.

But true survival horror is either Silent Hill or Fatal Frame.

Perfect? are you serious ? Though I praise it's game mechanics are quite good a lot of things are wrong.

First... The enemy design was dull....

second a lot of things in the game didn't make sense and made the whole thing seem stupid. That weird armament in the end? The last boss turned into some random sh!t ? A giant statue that just starts walking out of nowhere ? These mechanics take away a little bit of the joy in the game because it's just makes it seem soooo stupid.

It is a dam good RE game but wouldint call it the best survival horror game. I find SH and siren series better in that regard. On a side note I personally feel REmake is the pinical of survival horror in RE series.

imo there was very few atmospheric moments. Only ones I can think of is the rain part and the part where ur facing that monster in the basement. It even got worse in atmospher when the gun guys started to show up.

What, you aren't scared of evil leprechauns?

I want to stick sharp objects in my eyes when I read your posts, TC.

Am I the only one that liked 3 more then 2? Also REmake was better then 2 also imo.

Darkslayer16

Right here. I still highly enjoy 2 but I like 3 more.

yep it was survival horror at its best had a great story too.
RE3 wasn't nearly as good, Code veronica kind of sucked because it introduced some really sweeping changes to the established story, RE0 was okay it changed the story but it had really quantified down the great mechanics, REmake was great though still story was changed. RE4 sucked total action game for the most part with s*** story, and RE5? lol need I say more?

I stick with the books by SD perry, and RE 0 with RE1-3 as well as REmake as my game base I ignore code veronica for the most part and any game released after.

I prefer the original.

Nope that would be REmake.

Although Silent Hill 3 is the scariest game I've ever played.

The village is like one third of the game and the only good part survival horror wise. The rest is not so well executed even when the premises were good, a creepy castle and the almost obligatory lab.

For me it's 2>REmake>CV>3>4>1>0>5

REmake is the best Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness is the best survival horror..no contest.

When I was 10. I'd take 4 over that now even though it's not much of a horror game.
