Resident Evil 0-3: Would You Want Re-makes/Re-releases of These?

[Darmonde]

Just wanted to see what all the buzz was about.

I think the significance of REmake is lost now. It was very good because it was completely redone graphically and added new areas/gameplay while still remaining faithful to the original game. Seeing games completely overhauled is common enough now that it doesn't have the same impact.

As for gameplay, the original RE games are almost puzzle games, and more than other series, I think a lot of the draw of the game comes from the system. It was a choice to make ammo, supplies, saves, inventory, cameras etc etc so limited. It did a good job making fairly simple situations threatening and suspenseful. The first hallway with 3 zombies, you're almost definitely going to be bit at least once your first time playing. Opening any door for the first time was a little scary.

But just like a puzzle, once you know everything about the game, it's very easy to plan and execute a perfect playthrough, and I can only imagine that's a really boring thing to watch. I'd recommend that you sit down and play any version of the game, even just for a little while. I think you'd have a much different experience than watching it, even if you turn it off after 5-10 rooms because it's not clicking.

Complete overhauls are pretty rare, especially those with REmake's vision and ambition.

I can't think of any game that was remade even half as well as this was. Duck Tales was a decent effort.

define remake

I feel like I'm the one person who didn't care for the Duck Tales remake at all. Unnecessary.

[bbobb]

Good, because it didn't care for you either.

[YellerDog]

The PC version causes my PC to hard-reset out of nowhere, so that may literally be the case.

PC master race.


The original DuckTales is a leaner, better game, but there is good reason to play the new one. I wouldn't call it unnecessary.

[YellerDog]

Eh, keep it.

MGS:Twin Snakes is at least half as good.
