What went right?
Pretty much everything
The only shame is no Ashley segment on the Island
>>332363608
It appealed to the CoD audience
>>332363608
They tried something new and it worked. Fuck all the nostalgiafags whining about muh survival horror.
>>332363608
Everything.

>>332363608
It'sfun.
>>332363608
Everything except the insurrection of sequels incapable of balancing both action and horror effectively. 5 and 6 are irredeemable trash, nobody can argue otherwise.
>>332363608
It had the right amount of just about everything
That dog
>>332363608
Literally everything
It was new and refreshing, which the series needed since it was extremely stale. Take a look at this article, top right. It's from the official original XBOX magazine, before RE4 was even announced.
sequels are shit though, i dont care how many threads that dude who worships RE6s cock makes
>>332364798
5 is better than 6 tho, and that is a fact
>>332364798
4 and 5 are the same game, that's a fact
>>332364628
>appealed to the CoD audience before CoD got very popular, casual and shit
stop trying to fit in
Literally in every non-pleb top 5.
It's flawless
>>332365294
It's true though
>>332365265
You don't honestly believe that do you?
5 tried to be 4 and lacked all of the charm and atmosphere
also the forced partner system was a downfall
>>332365510
except it isnt you 12 year old
>>332365510
stop posting, this is terrible bait and you have no idea what you're talking about

Sorry, but this article is not to be taken seriously.
>>332365163
Can't argue with that.
>>332365265
5 has all of the action, none of the horror. It's a decent game but without friends and online multiplayer capability I wouldn't have played it more than once. I played 4 at least 3 times before I got bored. 4 Was a great game, but it paved the way for a more action oriented focus in later installments. Once 5 dropped key components present in 4 everything began to drop in quality.
Nothing, the version with the ghosts was the best.
>>332366149
Now this is shitposting
i got spooked every time i heard the chainsaw
>>332363608
It felt like the natural progression for the series. The way the previous games had played and been presented in part seemed like it was just the best they could do at the time. What I liked most about the previous titles was the level design that felt more exploratory, compared to the linear gameplay experienced in RE4.
I fucking hate the island and lab at the end. Same with the earlier REs. The games just turn to complete shit at the end.
>tfw if capcom had decided to make REmake for a system people actually wanted, classic RE would have stuck around
>>332366136
I will never not yearn for that project 3.5 to become what it should have been.
>>332368108
I hate the castle personally. Way too many puzzles plus the constant chanting was migraine inducing.
>>332368108
I wouldn't call the island complete shit, it's the weakest area but I loved fighting Krauser, U3, and regenerators. Some of my favorite parts of the game.
>>332368678
>FPS
Literal retardation.
>>332368774
it was an obvious shitpost anon, you didn't need to reply. he just wants (yous)
>>332368815
You can ignore me, but the truth has to be known. Go to hell, dudebros that want shooters with zombies.
>>332368815
I know, but I'm bored and like to watch shitposters throw fits.
>>332368828
Like clockwork.
>>332363608
best game of it's generation, no contest.
>>332365265
They share a control scheme, a few enemy types and the changes in setting 5 has taking place in roughly the same kind of order as 4 but their design is completely different, even when you compare parts that 5 was trying to adapt from 4.
How those actual levels were put together is a big part of it, with quality dipping sharply outside of arenas and boss rooms, or any other area where Sheva and Chris aren't practically conjoined. The game never really 'stops' like RE4 could either, for reasons entirely derived from it being a co-op game instead of designed around a single player. That's why lifting so many ideas from RE4 didn't work out.
>>332363608
The pacing. Everything is open world bullshit now so pacing is fucked and irrelevant now but this game perfected it.
>>332363608
Appeal to the lowest common denominator
>>332368987
>>332368815
>>332368774
>The camera is placed behind Leon, and zooms in for an over-the-shoulder view when aiming a weapon, or a first-person view when aiming with a sniper rifle.
No need to say more
Good pacing, atmosphere is top notch, gunplay was satisfying and it never gets old blowing up someone's head.
Bought it on Steam yesterday because I saw it was on sale, just started chapter 4-3 a few minutes ago.
I got it shortly after launch on the PS2 but the last time I played it was over 5 years ago. Man, it really feels like it hasn't aged one bit. I'm having a blast and I still seem to have almost every non-randomized crate/barrel drop and treasure location memorized. At this rate, I'm going to have to go back and replay Bully, Blood Money, DMC3 and all the other great PS2 games that came out around that time.

My you're grasping for straws aren't you? Scoping in with a sniper rifle must make up what, a whole 1/100ths of gameplay? The rest consisting of moving around and shooting every other gun in third person. That's like saying a game with an on the rail shooter scenario is an FPS.
>>332369904
HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT
>>332363608
Smooth and enjoyable gameplay, a great setting and atmosphere, it looked good for its time, and an amusing storyline with cheesey characters and memorable cutscenes. It's a great game.
>>332363608
Nothing. Pandered to retards that like action games instead of finely crafted survival horror masterpieces where you're forced to think. Popularized QTEs and is one of the main reasons true survival horror is dead. Absolute cancer of a game.
>>332370575
>every single action game ever made is bad somehow
>>332370693
I think it's a great game but it definately effected the series inward. desu it was bound to happen considering Kamiya's tastes regarding action and disdain for horror.
>>332370853
*onward
>>332370853
>this entire post
...lmao?
Abandoned those boring zombies and ended the terrible survival horror genre ;^)
It revived Resident Evil after the piece of shit that was RE3.
>>332370575
>muh survival horror
This genre doesn't sell well anymore nowadays. Resident Evil as it is now is still very popular in Japan and all over the world. RE4, 5 and 6 sold very well and they stopped relying on the horror aspects. The only people who're crying about this shit are the oldfags who couldn't move on from the format Capcom used 20 fucking years ago.
>>332370693
>action game with QTEs where you shoot your way through in a series that established survival horror is somehow good
>>332370090
Fine if you want to get technical, it is not a fps but a 3rd person shooter for dudebros. Are you happy now? it is still basically the same thing, except for your technicalities autism. I hope you are happy, dudebro.
>>332371508
wew for a second i thought you were talking about resident evil 3
>>332371374
REmake HD sold pretty well. If it didn't they wouldn't be making REmake 2.
>>332370295
They're up to the Island right now, and I think they still have some Castle textures to fix. After that I believe they're doing Mercenaries stages, weapons and character models.

>it's bad cuz it's not like the others!!
Stop being so autistic
Reminder that Kamiya ruined the series.
>>332371824
It's not even a good action game you tard
Just a reminder for those not in the know
http://www.re4hd.com/
A small group is making an HD pack for the PC re-release. Along with new textures, they are also fixing UVs and adding more polys to 3D assets.
>>332371838
How exactly? Because of Devil May Cry?
Will Capcom ever make an RE game where co-op is not forced on us?
>>332372258
I thought there was an HD release already? or is the steam version shit?
most aspects. fun and FAR more involved combat. great scenario and encounter design/variety, entertaining story, good atmosphere and area progression, good weapon upgrading with a well rounded arsenal, the treasures make exploration far more rewarding, amazing presentation for the time with a ton of polish, lots of extras with huge replay value. lengthy campaign with (for the most part) well paced for its length.
even by todays standards its encounter designs still put most games to shame. and it does it with 2x the content of most normal action games.
>>332372594
A quote from their FAQ.
"With the release of the Ultimate HD version, we have confirmation that while some textures have been upgraded, the majority haven’t. It seems safe to say that an official 100% across-the-board HD revamp of the game isn’t coming anytime soon, so now is the time to do this."
>>332364517
what the fuck is wrong with you
>>332371508
every resident evil after the first one was an action game that gives you enough ammo to utterly wreck everything twice over, spooky scary door animations and licker jumpscares do not a survival horror make
