IGN: The Best Resident Evil?

IGN writes: "Next month, Capcom resumes scaring gamers with Resident Evil 5, the latest entry in the survival-horror series that helped define a genre. The Resident Evil series turns 13 this year, too, making it a perfect time to ring in a new installment of this storied franchise. Chances are, if you've been gaming for the last decade, you have at least dropped one or two (or 500) zombies infected with Umbrella's sinister T-Virus."

i liked the 1st 3 but after they moved to zombies to weird alien, it killed it 4 me. so my peace goes to RE 1- 3 specially 2 bcus it was one of the best.
R.I.P Resident Evil originals, you will b missed

Omegasyde5552d ago

I agree, they went all wierd with the umbrella corporation. None of it bad sense after RE3.

RE4 had some cool gameplay, but why is Leon saving the president's daughter again?

Someone call Jean Claude Van Damme, Capcom is stealing his thunder.

Cartesian3D5552d ago

couldnt agree more. so Im not alone about first 3 RE. I think they are more about story,dark atmosphere,mystries... etc than shooting zombies. I love finding letters,solving puzzles..

I know RE4 was a great game, but it wasnt a Great RESIDENT EVIL.

"RE4 had some cool gameplay, but why is Leon saving the president's daughter again?

LOL!

thereapersson5552d ago

Hell yeah, that game was awesome. One of the best remakes ever, in my opinion.

GVON5552d ago

Yeah man,and it had enough new bit's to keep it feeling new,the way the redone the shark scene was brilliant though.
I put it just ahead of twin snakes as my fav remake,I LOVE the game,still got it laying around so play it every year or so.not long had a spin before Christmas,think I'll finish it this weekend.

"None of it bad sense after RE3."

Irony overload.

haha

Darrius Cole5552d ago (Edited 5552d ago )

Destroying the Umbrella Corporation was a huge mistake in my opinion. Umbrella was one of the, if not THE best villains in fiction. They were simply evil, pure and simple.

People of the Umbrella Corp. were not aliens trying to gain a new homworld; they were not monsters who had to drink blood to live; they were not a political organization trying to conquer and bring their own brand of justice into the world; they were not fanatical followers of a strange religion doing what they thought was right according to their alien faith. All the aformentioned reasons could be understandable from their own point of view, however Umbrella didn't have that. Umbrella had no motive that could be considered honorable from ANY point of view, only the profit motive. They were EVIL in the truest sense of the word.

Changing the villains from an evil corporation and zombies who can only be considered victims, to aliens and people under alien influence who are capable of at least some thought, changes the foundation of the series a lot.

It would be MUCH better if we learned in RE5 that Umbrella was, in fact, not defunct, and was still pulling the strings. That would make everybody helpless victims again making the game a struggle against the resident evil.

Rayko5552d ago

Yeah, the first 2 games were the best RE games ever, code Veronica was OK and RE0 was also OK but not that good (still had some scary moments and original zombies left). RE4 and now 5 are 2 really dissapointing RE games. No Resident Evil feeling what so ever. RE series is dead for me. Hope they will bring it back with part 6 :(

Well I'm glad they got rid of the -10mph walking Zombies.

The T-Virus was created based off of the Progenitor Virus.

A virus that was crossed with Leeches hence Zombies relentless struggle for blood.

Through research and documents it seems this Progenitor Virus was found in Africa.

And the only way to stop a Bio Weapon on this scale is to find the Host.

That's my take can't wait to experience this story to fill in gaps I need filled.

enviable275552d ago

I believe the fastest human on earth can go up to 8-9 mph, so 10mph would be the zombies in RE5

Lazarus695552d ago

@EnViABLe27

The average human can run up to 10mph,i think the fastest human can do about 20mph

jtucker785552d ago

So what is the average speed of the RE5 zombie?

Because they walk, then sprint at you until they get within a specific radius and then they walk again.

I think the equation would also have to factor in the number of zombies on screen as when there are several they run at you, then slow down, then queue up and fight you one at a time.

somekindofmike5552d ago

I personally don't understand when people say they don't like resident evil 4 because it's not a true Resident Evil game! it's still a great game even if it's deviated away from the original formula.

I would still love another big budget Resident Evil game based on the original formula, but it won't stop me from enjoying these new style RE games.

DoctorXpro5552d ago

"Someone call Jean Claude Van Damme, Capcom is stealing his thunder"

AGREE

jtucker785552d ago

Umbrella Chronicles is the worst I've played.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

phoenixwing33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos37d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts37d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook737d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka37d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka37d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr37d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz37d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos37d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1737d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca37d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
