By classic you mean you cannot walk and shoot at the same time then yes Ill agree. RE5 would have been great but not being able to walk and shoot is well.......stupid. NONE of the RE are difficult. What made them difficult was the damn controls and screwy camera angles. Not that I didn't enjoy them but the controls have ALWAYS sucked. That's why I like RE6 so much. If you gave it crappy controls it would be identical to older ones. RE6 got a bad rep for no reason IMO other than it was over hyped. Its a damn fun game in COOP.

As for "scary" games I was always a Silent Hill kinda guy. Those games made you think and were difficult to figure out. Controls were not as important.

Being unable to walk and shoot is stupid but RE was never about shooting. If you breeze from room to room killing everything that moves then what's the point? Classics was hard not because of tank controls and fixed camera but because of scarce ammo, puzzles and scare factor. I never said that RE6 is bad, it's a good game, it's just not groundbreaking. COOP in survival horror is redundant. They're meant to be solo games. Playing alone in a dark room and sharting your pants.

the survival aspect and tension building have been completely removed from Resident Evil.

This started from RE4. You're simply unable to run outta ammo in that game. But it had a nice pace, unfortunately pc controls sucked monkey ass.
I always kinda sorta wished RE4 never existed, I always wanted 3.5, shame they canned it.

I enjoyed the more challenging puzzles, exploration and scavenging for supplies. I never cared much for the story or voice acting even tho it was a big deal back then.

You simply could not have the amount of zombies you have today with the crappy controls and puzzles. The only reason they did it that way back then is lack of horsepower and Myst style games. They have it now........so now we have RE the way it should have been.

As for killing everything in a room......you make it sound like that's a negative thing.

Alien: Isolation and Alien (1979) only have one alien so it doesn't bother me.

And one zombie isn't scary.

And it isn't negative thing? It's a survival horror game not cod or other crap for the masses

I survive by killing everything in my way.

What's the problem? Just because someone isn't playing it the way YOU think it should be played doesn't mean it is 'cod or other crap for the masses'. That's ridiculous. For instance, Dishonored I ran in and pretty much just killed people. I did the same with MGS4 and the like. umadbro?

Did I say anywhere that I really care about how others play their games? I just said that I dislike forced action and killing. Survival and stealth games ftw. umad?

whatever ...

new trailers for Fatal Frame 5 and Evil Within

Yes, yes you did actually. By saying it is a negative thing, you are caring about how someone plays games because it is different than how you THINK they should be played. Which in itself is fundamentally the opposite of how games (in theory) should work.

I won't lie. I'm a chickenshit and don't like horror games or movies, but the Evil Within looks like it is gonna be a great game. After seeing some gameplay, I may buy.

I remember playing the old FEAR Combat, and that was pretty fun. One of those F2P companies though....mehhhhaehrhehrn. FEAR is too good to ruin so hopefully it isn't bad.

Ahhzz · Oct 9, 2014

Yeah, not overly fond of Aeria, but maybe worth a distraction or two...

AphexDreamer · Oct 17, 2014

Well I was hoping to give The Evil Within a try after the disappointing Alien: Isolation but it seems people are finding it even more terrible than Alien. Jeez you look forward to a few hyped up horror games and they don't deliver. Guess indie developers are the way to go for horror games these days. Still got a couple to look forward too.

Awesome. RE remakes and a new silent hill?
I'm in heaven.

I am looking forward to the new silent hill. I think that will take the cake when its released.

Tell that to a guy without any handy weapons stuck in a room with a single zombie... One zombie is one zombie too many.

No way. Poke his eyes out and play Marco Polo.

Seems that 2014 sucked ass. 2015 gives a little hope. Resident Evil Remake and REvelations 2.

Can't wait for REvelations V2

The second trailer

REvelations 2 is the shit! I'm 100% this game will rock. I can't believe it, RESI is back. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

rtwjunkie · Dec 2, 2014

I saw that about the RE remake by Capcom! Did not know about RE Revelations 2.

Personally, I think that Revelations was one of the better RE titles, and don't mind that it's ported from handheld game, the visuals are great on PC, and the controls are actually very good. It also returned more to that exploring horror than the straight shoot 'em up that recent titles have had.

To raise this from the dead, I almost wish I had a PS4 for this one....
