Resident Evil 2 is shaping up as one of the games of 2019
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
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)
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.
A new mod brings the highly nostalgic fixed angles to the Resident Evil 2 remake, bringing the game closer to the original 1998 experience.
REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?
The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.
Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.
I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.
Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
Very keen for this, day one buy for sure!
Man I cannot wait for this to come out and I am so happy it is in 3rd person. Resident evil 7 is a very good game, but that 1st person perspective Really hindered my connection with the character. I couldn't see him or identify with him, it detaches you. I wish They could have added a 3rd person perspective later through a patch. I'm just so happy it's going back to its roots.
Brings back so many memories from way back in 98! I can't put int words how much I'm anticipating this! I saw a rumor on Rely on Horror today that said Capcom are working on RE3 Nemesis Remake as we speak. Apparently the person who a good track record with leaks pertaining to the RE Series said it's in production. They're anticipating RE2 Remake to be successful and they want to parlay the goodwill from it into the Nemesis remake. I hope it's true and eventually we see a Code Veronica Remake as well!
