at least with Leon the took away the bloom in 9, but yea agreed, I hate the fucking sway, time to get "focus shot" and the insane recoil, all to up the difficulty because you can move and shoot.
No, they get caught up in the fact it's a high yield nuclear explosion and it annihilates most if not the entire grid of the city in the RE3 99 cutscene.
I was going to make a post about how its one of the greatest things Capcom has ever released but I was beaten to the punch by Sopranos memes, unfortunately.
What? HUNK has always been an umbrella stooge. He's never been under fed orders in any game.
He's a Merc, he works for whoever
Who the fuck knows, RE9's plot is basic even by RE standards.
Well he needed ordinance as a rookie cop. The post re4 leon that pulls off double backflips at a moments notice to avoid saddler pitching steel beams at mach 2 isn't that guy. It was always implied that the new generation of BoWs was stronger, faster, smarter, better than the original shambling hoards. Thats why when enemy types do return you fight them in large quantities like how you fight 30 lickers at once in 5 or 50 hunters in revelations. He's a hulking mass but he's still slow and has a clear design flaw with the exposed heart. It's one of the ways the game benefits from it's nostalgic retread. We've been fighting tyrant tier monsters with our fists for a long time now.
Well that is definitely true, they changed the mechanism for it. They turned it into a missile bombardment instead of a singular missile.
honestly at this point I don't even know what bomb tech they have in this setting, I'm made to believe they had somewhat portable mega-rail cannon tech, ready on hand by 1998, among other wildly divergent history/tech shit.
The railgun in RE3 OG at least had some realism since it was big and clunky. The army came in to get the G virus and figured they were going to fight G virus monsters so they had that with them. They ended up killing the remaining five Mr. X's that were on that helicopter. Although IDK why the army and the X's converged at the factory.
a Nuke wouldn't obliterate a City that size anyways, I dunno why you people think it would, it wouldn't.
Correct. RE2 is just the end of the lab really with the city still remaining, until RE3. That game just ties up the loose ends. You can't leave the city as it is without complete eradication.
RE3 is my favorite of the series. You got just enough of the city to get a feel for how it was structured, even though it's still pretty limited. The Dead Factory is such a good final area, and very relevant to the RC trilogy. Since it's where Umbrella was disposing of any biological evidence, poorly, but disposing of it. I believe one of the files even mentions they're doing a shit job and they're practically asking for an outbreak.
A high enough yield would flatten the city, literally. I've seen enough nuke videos (since I've always been a nerd with nukes for some reason) and the OG RE3 ending has to have 20-100 kiloton explosion. The Japan nukes are pretty consistent with RC, but those are buildings from the 40s. But regardless, Aoyama intended for it to be a nuke erasing the city.
If you completely mind wipe and take yourself back to playing RE1 for the first time, it's like masterful compared to how predictable and fucktarded the average RE plot is. Barry is a good red herring, you get different sides to the same story with the character select, the tone is grim with minimal tongue and cheek nonsense, and the flavor text is some of the best (itchy tasty).
