This is my fundamental problem with all the remakes. I love RE4 OG. It's better than the remake still since it's built around player skill and non intentionally jank and RNG reticle bloom faggotry.
Yeah I don’t like when people treat a remake like it replaces the original. Unfortunately it comes from the whole “old=bad” gaming culture. Video game remakes should be their own thing, not be a complete replacement for the original while the original is ignored. Maybe unless it’s RE1 remake which is still a perfect game, but even then the original RE1 is nice to look back on as a piece of gaming history.
Actually it was because he wanted to finish RE4 instead since that game kept getting scraped and restarted over and over again as we all know.
I would be so ecstatic if Capcom just did Over The Shoulder and Classic Camera Angles in the setting. It should just be press of a button and it changes the perspective. Look at what the modders can achieve by doing classic camera angle mods.
The original SH2 still holds up while my opinion about the remake is still "meh" to me.
And even then, REmake knew the core gameplay of RE, what RE1 was designed to be, was fixed cameras and tank controls. So they did that. They knew what they were remaking and had respect for the past as those were the "giant's shoulders" they were standing on. Publishers and developers are afraid to do that these days, and/or they don't respect the past content ala the sweetbabyfink brigade and want to destroy it.
Soylent Shill 2 Demake has only sold a million copies. Guess it released with a resounding thud. The modern audience wasn’t very interested, huh?
Not surprising. Series is great but has always been niche. Between the ease of piracy for this title and tons of people having zero interest in it, I doubt it'll really take off. Konami is playing it much safer and more faithful with Metal Gear Solid 3's remake and they just obtained the fucking FIFA license, so they don't need to milk Silent Hill for money anymore.
Exactly. It's a remake done right - modern graphics with a few bits and pieces to spice things up as well as to entice players of the original game like me to give it a try yet retaining the core gameplay of the original. I remember saying "oh shit" when some Crimson Heads were chasing me the first time I played it, like feeling the tension from playing the original game the first time back in 1996. Plus we don't have gave devs or marketing people telling us that "we're bad" or "we need to be better like them."
That's just your average "viewer discretion advised" PSA you see in every non-cucked or oldish adult media, they don't spoil anything beyond saying "this thing WILL get bloody and violent and may disturb some people, we warned you so don't complain!", there's nothing wrong with them.
Well, you're not really that far from what they actually show you. Here's the twigger wawning from the Blooper version, one of the first things it shows you...
It's hilarious how they made Maria go from this slutty succubus to this big headed HR cunt.
