Thread: RE4-like games on PS2?

  1. RE4-like games on PS2?

    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.

  4. 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.

    I'd also recommend Dino Crisis 1-2. They're PSone games and probably dirt cheap.

  7. 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?

  10. Yea it is and no just part 1, 2&3 both got 60Hz options if I remember correctly.
    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.
