My friend has been playing Resident Evil 4 on my Gamecube and loves it. I promised to help her find a similar type game for her PS2.
So far people have mentioned Devil May Cry 3 had similar gameplay, is it fair to assume she will like that?
Also, I saw the DMC and DMC2 on budget-label, are those worth getting or are they reflect being early releases on the PS2 platform?
Any other games that a RE4 gamer would appreciate on PS2?
PS. and 'No' she can't wait for the actual RE4 on PS2
I would argue that Resident Evil: Code Veronica and the Onimusha series are much closer to RE4 than Devil May Cry. However, Devil May Cry is a very strong series in its own right, and she might enjoy that as well. There's also Silent Hill 2-4 and Fatal Frame 1 & 2 that I would recommend on PS2.
Onimusha 1-3 and possibly that new one that was just announced.
DMC is a different ballpark imo. Stay away from part 2, one is still class but since we are talking pal games here I'd advice her to stay away from that too since the conversion is crap. But maybe that's something you don't mind if you haven't played the NTSC version.
I can't remember the name but there's that game that takes place on a boat that she might like.
Thanks, she tried RE3 yesterday but hated the fixed camera angles. DMC doesn't have that though, right? I'll check out Onimusha.Quote:

Remember that Oni 1&2 have fixed camera.
Hmm yeah 'Cold Fear'.. Is that out on PS2? I'll stay away from DMC2, thanks. Damn, shame the pal ports are sloppy... Does that go for the whole DMC series?Quote:

Capcom (most publishers really) sucked dick in the beginning but most of them have straightened up. Some strange exeptions like Konami exist though and I don't think Square will ever get the picture.
Ok, sounds like DMC3 may be a pretty safe bet. I wouldn't buy something thats not 60hz pal.
Hmm Shinji Mikami has a pretty good track record!
There are plenty of PS2 games with shitty controls.
Try scouring some department store bargain bins.
No one cares about Europe. You're the one not getting the picture.Quote:

I would also go with Dino-Crisis, they are about as close as you can get (minus the zombies)
Dino-crisis... Say, didn't I play that on dreamcast? It was sorta like the old Resident Evil series, just with dinos?
Yes, Dino Crisis 1 was on DC, part 2 is more action oriented and better.
I can't believe people would compare the gameplay of RE4 and DMC3. Gameplay wise nothing compares to RE4. Cold Fear is a very OK rip off.
RE4 is totally separate from the classic survival genre.
HeadHunter maybe?
The atmosphere is not at all similar though.
If you're into Shinji's episodic action-genre, he has plety to keep you entertained. There's also Kill Switch, an action game with the same over the shoulder style POV. I think it's made by Konami.
Namco.
Shoot. I actually enjoyed DMC2.
I was gonna recommend clock tower and if it's not too much of a stretch, Alien Resurrection. (survival horror trapped in a FPS)
Thanks again, I will sample all of your suggestions.
PS. Kill Switch is one great game IMO, but I didn't know it was out on PS2.
not 100% sure, but I think it even got a GC release.Quote:
