With Resident Evil Revelations coming to consoles, NowGamer asked the developer why they think Revelations scored better than Resident Evil 6.
From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"
Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.
This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.
Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕
GF365: "The iconic survival horror franchise Resident Evil boasts a great number of popular and memorable characters. Arguably, Leon S. Kennedy is the most popular and recognizable character aside from Jill Valentine. In this article, we'll be counting down every Resident Evil game Leon is featured in, ranked."
Yeah I figured it would be ordered like this. For me Leons best game was his debut. RE2.
With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
I'd say the one big problem I had with Res 6 was inconsistency .
Granted there is a huge amount of content in the game , the campaign is bigger then ever - some parts where fantastic - then again some parts felt scrappy and rushed.
The series doesn't need a reboot, they just need to make sure future games are polished + playtested, have considerably less insta-death QTE's and carry on with the qualities that made the series great in the first place.
I thought it was rated worse because it was a 3rd person action game and not a survival horror game.
If I wanted 3rd person action I would go play Gears or God of War. NOT Resident Evil.
Had my hopes up there, I thought they were recognizing that the game reviewed low because it wasn't true to the series. but then he goes and says it's unjust to do so for that reason.
Ugh.
I liked RE6, and I liked RE5. I also really enjoyed RE4 more than any of the others in the series. I've never been scared by any game in the RE series, and I remember playing the original titles as a kid growing up. They were fun, even though they had terrible stories, controls and camera angles.
How many times can they stick you in a mansion and put you in the same situations as the first few RE games? Eventually you aren't going to be scared of those situations. I also enjoyed the co-op in RE5 and RE6 because I like to play through campaigns with my brother, I think the co-op campaign is a lost art form and I'm glad it's starting to make a come back.
Don't get me wrong, I do think Resident Evil needed to update itself to keep up with the times. But I don't think Capcom needed to change the games as drastically as they did. And I don't mean changing the camera and the tank controls. Changing that sort of stuff is fine. But changing things like the mythos, adding conflicting and unneeded plot points, trying to appeal to every gamer and ending up with a mess, etc. It's all so unnecessary. There are much more logical ways that Capcom could have changed the series.
