Resident Evil 7 promised us Not A Hero what feels like a very long time ago but it’s here now and at the low, low price of zero pounds.
When you rip off the plastic, crack open that case and smell that new game smell, the absolute last thing you want is a boring exposition dump about the game universe you're about to enter. What's this? Tutorials? Garbage. Put. Me. In. The. Action. This is a list of the game's who's openings grab your attention and don't let go.
Of all time?? ..and you mention ambiguous games like RE 7 or Fallout ...It is hyperbole at least.....i will say MGS 1 and 3 , Abe s oddysee (on ps1) , FF 7 ,Monster hunter 3 on wii , Crash Bandicoot 1 (+first level)....and so many more better games than the article s list
I'd have to say God of war 3. Fighting parts of Poseidon before actually battling him was Epic!
Oh man just off the top of my head; FFVII, LoZ:OoT, Uncharted 2, BioShock, Fallout 3, GoW3, Metroid Prime, Mass Effect 2, Super Metroid, Castlevania SoT, New GoW, Batman Arkham Asylum, Halo 3. The opening scenes/levels to these games did such a great job of setting the tone for much of the rest of the game.
Much better than the list on the site.
Every time I see a ''best of all time'' list, I actually expect them to have played more games.
GOD OF WAR 3.... The intro recap of the entire story to that point and the first level was amazing!
How is the first infamous not here? I remember talking to a friend when the whole screen went white and chaos ensued. Got my attention real quick.
Play-Asia has reduced the prices on 8 gaming products including Zero Time Dilemma for PS Vita and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard for PS4.
"Andrew and I chat about our disappointment in the highly anticipated Resident Evil 7 “Not a Hero” DLC. While we do think the downloadable content itself is decent, our main gripes are the ‘new’ Chris Redfield and the lack of story details and tie-ins to the previous 7 mainline games in the Resident Evil series." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
Right after Resident Evil 3 they seemed confused. Veronica and Zero weren't bad titles, a tie for me, but it was after Mikami's split from Capcom after delivering a terrific 4th outing that the series seemed more lost than confused, for me anyway.
I’m making over $17k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is where i started>>> http://tiny.cc/ww3opy
I can see your point, so arguably, that's true. But I think laziness is more of a deciding factor.
In my opinion, the subsequent sequels only proved that Capcom could stroke a fire, not make one, thus making watered-down versions of Resident Evil 4 for the next two outings. I applaud them for using some of the original Resident Evil development team, but the developer didn't attempt to push anything in the franchise forward with 5 and 6.
They actually allowed it to become stagnate, mistreating characters, crazy storylines, and worst of all, went against the franchise's own foundation: horror.
Action doesn't last longer than horror, simply put. An explosion is pretty but it lasts a second, but give someone something to be scared of then that lasts for hours, years even. People love to be scared, but there wasn't anything scary about RE 5 or 6.
The 7th outing, though better than its last two predecessors if we want to call it an RE game, doesn't truly feel like Resident Evil. It's a shell of a game (no first person camera argument here), hollowed out to masquerade as a Resident Evil game, but feeling like a rip off of PT because of its popularity. Capcom, again, being lazy with no connecting story with only the title to prove what franchise it belongs to.
If Capcom wants to make Resident Evil an anthology series then - sure - I'm okay with Capcom masking its identity crisis by not following the main story, but they shouldn't attempt to staple it together with the main franchise with DLC.
When you have a creator who was as hands on with the entire franchise as Mikami was (producing or directing the entire main line), then it's no wonder his absence is felt with each passing sequel. The series just doesn't know what to do with itself with no true lead and Capcom is obviously their own worse enemy - resident evil indeed.
It's obvious it started out as a new game or something they later in development turned into Resident Evil to sell more copies. The lack of story tying it to the previous games and the like shows that.
Even a spin off like Outbreak ties into the overall story
What would you do if RE 2 Make is not Fix Camera or play like Classic ?
Well for me part 7 was a step in the right direction! I liked how there wasn't a lot of familiarity with what was taking place till close to the end.
To me I'd like more intimate self contained stories in the RE universe as opposed to the last few globe trotting well trained well equipped protagonists.
I saw a video for the developers of resident evil 7 they really don't know what resident evil is all about they don't know how to make resident evil game like shinji mikami did
If capcom really want to bring resident evil to life again they need to bring shinji mikami on the head of the team developments
Evil Within was an identity crisis to be honest. RE7 was a rebranding of the series. It had everything in it that makes an RE game. They did screw up with the DLC and the ending
Man I loved the main game but hated the DLC. I almost wish Capcom wouldn't even bother with it or do something like what they did with RE5.
Oh well, at least it wasn't some MP mode so I'll give them props for that.
