So this is downloading. Never played the original or the REmake before. I've played RE2, Code Veronica and RE4 (liked all of them).
Any tips? Haven't played any RE in years. Also which control scheme am I supposed to use? I remember hearing that one of them is 'wrong' because it makes the movement too easy and wasn't in the original.
Also is it a good remaster? Is REmake better than the original?
not retro.
but yes, its the best remake ever done.
Play with "original" control schemes.
Enemy design was made with those controls in mind, and allowing the player new moves without changing anything else is breaking the entire gameplay balance. It would be like adding jump to Doom, or double jump to Super Mario Bros, etc
Here is how much more simpler it is to bait zombies, and it's just an example

Otherwise, yes, it's the best version of the game.
Additionally you should play in 4/3 too, the new "widescreen support" most of the time consist in a zoom in and you're losing parts of the background.
Definitely better, my favorite game. Actually has a few scares in it compared to the pure cheese that was the original. You're in for a treat.
Tips; don't kill everyone. They'll come back as crimson heads and they suck. Try to dodge and only shoot if you can't get around something. Pick up defense items, handy as fuck. Don't bother collecting all the herbs and first aid sprays, just use them if you're desperate - wastes inventory space.

It's technically allowed because it's a remake of a retro game.
>>3336362
This. Play with tank controls, don't use the action shit.
Capped so starting a new thread.
>>3335585
As the thread says that thread is capped.
Favorite town in each game?
DQ1: Kol. It's just a comfy place. I love how you exit the town by stepping on certain tiles even though you can see more trees and shit beyond that point that you can never reach. It feels as if the town is hidden deep into the forest and nobody can find you there.
DQ2: Hamlin. It's where you meet the princess and there is this little house in the middle of the town surrounded by water. It's a nice place.
DQ3: Jipang. I like to think that the female fighter comes from this town. I like the room with Yayoi hidden inside a pot.
DQ4: I can't decide between Santeem castle and Frenor.
DQ5: Port Selmi. That huge bar is great.
DQ6: Definitely Calberona. There are a lot of beautiful places in this game, though.
I haven't played any others except the Monsters games. GreatLog > GreatTree.

Nice
I love the internet, man. It can be the centre of the most vapid shit, but it's also filled with people that will work for free just because they love shit and want to share.
Also, anyone in /vr/ on watch over the translated games for PSX, ended or in process?
Wtf?
I don't get it.
>this thread again
Show me what you have, /vr/.
Pirate carts from licensed games are forbidden, but multicarts are okay here.
I have a bunch. Dian Shi Ma Li has a great history of how did I get it for about fifty cents.

>Pirate carts from licensed games are forbidden
Wait
Isn't that the sense of bootlegs?
I think the artwork is the best part, kind of limiting to not allow bootleg licensed games. Anyway, pic related.
Is it wrong to love fighting games but still be terrible at them?
Not at first, but if you really loved them you'd probably be inspired to get better at at least some of them.
>>3333512
What if I'm actually retarded?
Can it really be considered "iteration" if the controllers were part of the same generation?
Are there any examples of retro game companies just stealing controllers? This would never happen nowadays.
Didn't Microsoft have a direct hand in the development of the Dreamcast? Or at least its online functionality?
>>3332439
Yes, OP has no idea what he's talking about.
What do you think is the most popular classic game you have never even played a second of?
I want to get into Castlevania, but it always seems to get put on the back burner. I've been burning through Shin Megami Tensei games, but I'm gonna try and get through Castlevania next.

Metal Gear for the PS1. People say it's fucking great and stuff, but I'm not into that type of game so I've never played.
I only played a few minutes of FF IV on emulator, ages ago (like in the year 2000), and never touched a Final Fantasy game again.
I don't know why, I just never did, I played Dragon Quest and SMT, but not FF.
>>3331894
I don't think I've ever talked to anyone that likes Dragon Quest but not classic Final Fantasy. Dragon Quest is so vanilla that you would think that you could pick up any turn based JRPG.
That's not a slight on DQ, it's nice to have a traditional series when you look at what FF eventually turned into.
Does anyone know where to get the SNES version english pre patched? I don't trust nicoblog.

Previous thread: >>3309078
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

The PS4 port of Metal Slug Anthology came out today, and it's not shitty (at least from what I've seen). So, let's have a Metal Slug thread. Portable entries are fair game, too, I guess. What's your favorite game? Favorite Super Vehicle?

What do you guys think of cutthroats: terror in in the high seas?
In my opinion, it's the best pirate rpg game i've ever played. The music was awsoeme, it had lots of details and was really immersive.

Because that thread had little information so now people will have it easier to understand what i'm talking about.
btw, already downloaded the game but being the computer pleb i am, i don't know how to open a .mdf file
>>3339515
oh, youre the OP from the other thread?
did you download the isozone rar?
it came with winxp and win7 patches, its 2mb let me know if you need it
mdf/mds files are 'perfect' "physical" readouts of CDROMs capable of emulating physical defects that were part of some copy protection techniques
it means that you can emulate the CDrom image and the game wont see the difference, you dont need cracks.
software "Alcohol 120%" creates mds/mdf images
but both daemon tools 347 and magiciso are capable of emulating the images, u just gotta check the option for "emulate copy protection" or some similar prhasing
new daemon tools is adware infested, get freeware version 347 at oldversion.com
