This blog is all about Resident Evil because I did 2 things RE related yesterday.
Okay I had to check the demo out to see what to expect and I played all 3 characters just to see the difference in gameplay and see what I was getting and my thoughts on all 3.
I started with Leons and I thought his was probably the best because of the dark enviroment and gameplay that felt well paced and such but the controls were a bit fiddly and a bit difficult to understand. I think that this is the campaign I shall be starting with on the 2nd October.
Nw onto Chris and to be honest I wasn't keen on his gameplay at all it felt like I was playing a COD game or Gears of War type game as well. I could not understand how you swapped guns or ammunition at one point it felt a bit to iffy and the fire seemed to come from everywhere. It didn't feel really like I was playing a Resident Evil game.
I shall finally comment on Sherrys gameplay it wasn't to different to the first 2 but I liked it more than Chris Redfields gameplay it had some intresting creatures in it and that to get to certain places you needed to work as a team with Jake as to like unbarred a door or something you didn't do that in Chris Redfields. Also the end of the demo left you with a bit of a boss but a cut away at the end.
Other basic stuff like running and gunning was a nice feature the healing system does seem a bit iffy to me it might make the game easy to plough through and sometimes some of the firing I didn't see come at me maybe I wasn't paying attention or something. I didn't get the inventory system it felt to fiddly and I sometimes struggled to find what I wanted to use.
Overall unlike some people who don't play games before commenting on them I can say this the game could follow suit to RE5 it looked to have alot of problems in areas and such. The gameplay for Leons was pretty good,Sherrys was alright but Chris Redfield didn't feel like Resdent Evil at all. I do feel the series has fallen from it's grace since Shinji Mikami isn't doing it anymore.
If I was to rate the demo on a scale of of 1 to 10 I would probably say about a 6 really because some sections were intrestering but some particularly Chris Redfields demo was a turn off. I don't think demo do certain games justice and I hope this is the case for one of them but I see alot of chinks in the armour of RE and dare I say it if the final production isn't up to scratch then who knows where the series goes after this.
I shall still be getting the game on the 2nd October but my anticaption has sort of been pushed down a notch.
Also yesterday I managed to beat Jills Resident Evil Remake campaign on the Gamecube but I was playing it on the Wii and I got the best ending I think saving both Chris and Barry.
The game was an amazing experience it had loads of tense moments and some nasty surprises in store like Lisa Trevor,The Crimson Heads and of course those Hunters who remained a constant menace. This game is probably with Code Veronica the most tense Resident Evil in the series because you just don't know what to expect. The puzzles were good something newer installments have been missing.
The bosses like Yawn,Plant 42,Tyrant and of course Neptune were incredible experiences like when Neptune trys to break through the glass and also Plant 42 holding you up before Barry comes in and saves the day. Can I also say I much perfer Jill and Weskers look in this game compared to RE5. They looked just right.
Overall an incredible experience and definetly one I'd be willing to play again. I am not sure what the next RE game I am gonna try and beat is either 3 or 0 but I am sure gonna enjoy. In fact I had reviewed number 3 and loved it.
On a scale of 1 to 10 this game is a 9 it's an excellent title and one of the best RE games ever and possibly one of the best Remakes of all time.
