What happened to Resident Evil

Been playing REmake *Resident evil 1 incase you didn't know*on my Wii haven't played it since 2002 and this game just feels like a totally differ net franchise with the characters having the same names. Here is hoping Leon's campaign in RE6 is like classic RE.

It's just going through an evolution. I loved the old ones myself, but I can appreciate the new ones because they are a blast to play with friends/family.Mr_Cumberdale

And if it isn't, that would make it a bad game? :|

And people wonder why Call of Duty games sell so many copies. People seem to like playing the latest rehashes, instead of NEW games.

Meh I don't mind too much (then again I gotten into RE not too long ago and pretty much been into the newer games more). I love Revelations even through it could have had more puzzles at least.

You probably grew up.

Give Revelations to a little kid and they'll wet their pants.

Enjoying it alot? We should do co-op sometime.:)

The audience changed.tagyhag

Thats part of it. Markets change and the games will follow. yea TC i really enjoyed all of the Resident Evils on the Gamecube. Zero, Remake 1 and 4. All great Gamecube games.

I played RE0 not long ago and there are some things I'm glad got left behind, like the fixed cameras, gimped controls, bad inventory system, etc.

It got better (RE4) and then it got worse (RE5).

to the posts above me I agree REmake is my favorite RE game and zero was good but hard and 4 was plan fun, as for the other poster agreed fixed camera's are bad but I feel the bad inventory is what made the game harder.

The problem is there's hardly any decent horror adventure games anymore. It would be nice if Capcom would make more games in line with Revelations.

I just glad that they aren't doing the save system that the old ones had anymore. That what kinda kills me from playing the old RE games alot.

but they are nowhere near the old ones, evolution should be get better, not change for the sake of changing, and i enjoyed re 5 in coop, but re remake was pure awesome.

I'm not sure the audience entirely changed. A lot of people played Resident Evil for simply being the high quality game that it was, with a fun scenario that let you shoot zombies and all sorts of other monsters. These people were always frustrated with the gameplay design choices that made RE what it was (backtracking, limited resources, lots of puzzles, etc). RE4 gave these people what they always wanted: a high quality monster shooter.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]Inconveniencing the player doesn't necessarily make the game "harder".

The ink ribbons in the old games are usually 3 right next to any given typewriter and are plentiful enough to save the game 20 times over.

After beating RE2 with 3 saves and RE3 in hard mode with 1 save, I don't even really feel as if I have to conserve.

[QUOTE="Wanderer5"]

[QUOTE="lulmont"] I think it's both the idea that you have to sacrifice green herb slots or ammo for key items added to the difficulty, but it is also annoying as well.

Maybe it not a big deal on today's handheld systems that has sleep mode and such but it pretty much why I just couldn't into REmake much.

Oh.:P Uh well I guessing you at least unlocked the first few stages? Want to try a couple? I can scale my level down, but if you want to wrap up SP first then that is fine.:)

It got better (RE4) and then it got worse (RE5).

Is the AI partner really bad in RE5?

Crapcom happened. They are trying to get the COD market to buy it, but it will never happen.

Wanderer5

She's more of a burden than anything else.

She constantly needs saving, she steals all your damn ammo, and she just generally can't keep up with you. Plus, if she dies you die. You spend the majority of the game babysitting.

It's best to play co-op with a person instead.

Resident Evil 4 and later may as well be called a new IP. The only similarity to the old games is its characters.

Was Ashley pretty bad?:P I probably going to love itwhen she starts following me around in RE4.Well I guess they really change them in Revelations. The AI partners don't need rescue and they don't take ammo and items.

[QUOTE="Wanderer5"] Well co-op is fun but playing single yeah pretty worthless and you have to resucue them a lot.

She's all right if you can get past that voice while she's screaming for help. She always manages to get grabbed even if you leave her behind to hide in a corner.

And she calls you a pervert if you look at a certain thing. :x

The A.I. partner in RE5 wastes so much ammo. You'll have to babysit it on your first playthrough.

The A.I. doesn't move if you're in its line of sight, so it'll just keep shooting and hit nothing. There's no friendly fire, but still...

The A.I. uses the worst possible weapon sometimes. A shotgun to shoot snipers, a handgun for mini-bosses with high resistance.

Shinji Mikami left Capcom in 2004.

Then the series became Action-Adventure with RE5.

Capcom learned their lesson and did a bang up job with Resident Evil: Revelations.

Resident Evil 6 is being Directed by Eiichiro Sasaki(he directed the RE:Outbreak series), so there's hope.

I'm probably one of the few people that actually enjoyed RE5. While it wasn't the best in the series, it certainly wasn't terrible either.SpiritOfFire117

I really enjoyed that game too, and I've been playing Resident Evil games since before the franchise even existed. :P

RE5 was one of the best co-op shooters I've ever played, and a rock-solid, highly entertaining survival-action game in singleplayer. Heaps of features, heaps of replayability, solid controls...it was an all-round great package, in my mind.

Anyway guys, remember that point in RE5 when the evil science labs you're in are about to explode, and walking-gorilla-soldier Chris had to evacuate onto a passing helicopter, only to fight off a huge mutant boss with only a magnum, acid rounds and a rocket launcher to defend him?

Oh wait...no, that was the first game in the series. Hm. :/

Or that time where you're armed to the teeth, and through a series of quick-time events, you have to fight off a massive bazooka-weilding super-soldier?

Ah, hang on, that was Resident Evil 3. Weird.

Sometimes it's easy to get the new games confused with the old ones. Possibly because the old ones were full of action, huge monsters, terrible dialogue, overpowered weapons, and cheesey action-movie tropes.

There was a moment where it became completely awesome: Resident Evil 4 and then it started disappointing in a different way.

What's wrong?

RE5 is RE4 with co-op (which tends to always increase fun), and a stomp button.

Therefore it's greater than RE4.

Also, less boulder punching in RE4

Therefore, RE4 > RE5 :P

People wanted change and this is what they got. Personally I love the older ones and RE1 remake for the GC, but I still enjoyed RE4,RE5 and maybe RE orc when it comes out.
