The original concept was claustrophobic atmospheric fear. It was never even supposed to have a sequel. They went back to the drawing board for RE7 to figure out where they started because the whole series had gone a different direction (and as a result......6). I believe RE8 is what they...

I think it's funny that first person view is seen as a "big departure" when it was the original intention for RE1. The only reason we ever got 3rd person was crappy graphics lol. 7 felt like the RE they really wanted in the first place so it's exciting to see where they go here. Let's face...

Yeah, I kinda disagree with this quite a lot. The fact that the concept of Raid mode isn't really understood kinda speaks to how much of the series you've played, and I don't really like the idea of someone saying it "seems pointless" to other new players who may really enjoy it. That's just...

I hate the episodic format, but it's not enough to make me not like the game. I love the vibe of it, it's like what Leon's campaign in 6 SHOULD have felt like lol. I've never liked the "one player two characters" sort of thing, I'm a sucker for a solo mission, but it doesn't pull me out of the...

I agree, I think it's a bit ridiculous. Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and the Last of us all used the same engine with very very very few changes. This meant that by the time I started playing The Last of Us for the first time, I was already bored. I'd seen it before so many times and I didn't...

The other thing people have to remember is that they use a base engine to program the game on, and there are only so many of those, so games made by completely different companies can look similar if they use elements of the same engine. I first noticed the "Last of Us" similarity when I found...

I think that people forget sometimes that RE started out as more of an art project. They could do whatever they wanted, and didn't even expect there to be enough momentum for a number 2. But for as many people that praised it, there were people that complained about tank controls, weird...

I think Dead Space 3 got the co op formula right. Totally optional, and adds to the story, but isn't necessary. I don't like co op games very much (where the partner becomes AI playing alone), but I do like the option of playing co op if a friend comes over. Even if it messed with the story...

I think the movement mostly made the new dodge move a little bit more necessary/useful, and added to the tension. I think they look different just because they're more detailed and have more variety. The zombies in 2 looked like all the same guy with different colored clothes, and that one...

oh I agree, I would love outbreak to come back. I'm a big supporter. But not on the old console, I don't think that's a logical step. Having already re-released every main ps title as a download on ps3, now with ps4 already making an entrance, there's no reason to take a step back in...

I have my old ps2, network ready, outbreak and file 2, but.....this server is only compatible with the Japanese versions....so it doesn't do me or most people in America much good, sorry. I don't think there's enough support to petition for the servers to come back up, I think if anything we...

I like some of these, I'll try to explain why. 1. I wouldn't be terribly specific about a new character, the producers switch character design, backstories, names, etc at the drop of a hat, a few times before the game finally gets finished so that the character fits exactly what they need. 2...

I'm not sure whether it takes more room on the disc to have a prerecorded cgi, or to use the ingame graphics (which in older REs tended to cause audible disc load often). But this may have something to do with it, RE0 having the additional zapping feature may have limited the capacity or...

They definitely didn't release a File 3. There is a lot of fan support for one though. Whether they planned for one or not, I'm not sure. I think I would only buy them again if online support was included. My ps2 is still running 4, cvx, dead aim, and outbreak. If they improved the AI...

Merce 3D would've been awesome! Yeah I think it's main drawbacks for most people came from the fact that it was "just a port". It was very short, didn't have zombies, etc. Including Merce would've fattened it up nicely. I think what saved it for me though was the free roam and the control...
