So when I played RE Remake it became clear that under the context of a Gamecube game, Capcom probably should have reworked the controls and such because they do feel dated in that context and hence I see this as a short coming.

I really can’t see Capcom’s angle here, why not rewrite the dialog and fix the controls? Are they trying to appeal to a nostalgic sense? Yet this counteracts the high level of professionalism seen in the game.

I enjoyed the remake, a nice glossy trip down memory lane. I even like the cheesy dialog I would love Capcom to make a remake of RE2, deffo the best game before reinvigorating the series with RE4. Maybe one day it will appear.

But the other ones are all building blocks. For the series to get the way it did, for it to rise to RE:4–a game of the decade, or at least year–it had to have a lot of bumps.

RE:0 is very atmospheric, and you’ll like that. The rain and the train scenes are haunting.

However, RE:CVX is very corny graphicwise. Still a good game, especially for its time period, but arguably one of the worst RE games (ahead of RE:3 only). RE:2 is my favorite game of all time, but it does not age terribly well, and you will find complaints with it where you found complaints with REmake already–limited enemies, etc. But it’s a game from 1998, you can’t expect too much.

I wish they’d remake that. Raccoon City is a great backdrop for a game.

I think the big problem with REmake is that, well, it is sparsely populated by today’s standards. I remember when the area before the spider house, with the snakes and the pool area? Iirc anyway. Well I remember when that area had like 6 dogs run out and THAT was hugggge for a game. Most games had like two enemies at a time. Just put that into perspective, I gues,s cause it can’t exactly be like GTA4’s 100 cars on the road and 20 pedestrians.
