Does 'Modern' Resident Evil Still Have the RE Formula?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2019
- The 'modern' Resident Evil games are infamous for their focus on action compared to the fixed camera games, and for how different they are as over the shoulder games. But upon closer inspection, most of them still retain the fundamental Resi formula, not just with 7 and RE2 remake, but with 4 and Revelations 2 as well.

Unfortunately that's not how it works, they'll come in time.
I like to think of Resident Evil 6 as a progression of acknowledging the existence of zombies and other BOWs.
At some point you arent trying to survive your trying to get as many things dead as possible to do your mission.
I hope you can do the same video for the "rest" of the RE titles like Survivor, Dead Aim, etc., as well as the upcoming RE8.
Revelations 2 is so good and has a really good balance if old and new RE elements. Especially the ending is all I, as a RE fan, could wish for.
And the partner characters are good for coop partners who don't have much action game experience, I found this really nice!
Yet many hate it because it's not a AAA title, episodic and "Claire is ugly" ... :(
It's good, give it a chance!
I feel like another category should have been atmosphere. It’s crazy how much 7 and the early ones are helped by their atmosphere.
How do you rank atmosphere? It offers mood, varies from situation to situation, and is entirely subjective.
Love how so many people are just reacting to the title without actually hearing any of my reasons.
Love your RE and Sonic videos, keep it up.
Just a possible hint for RE analysis, I think exploration should be divided into 2 categories: the searching aspect and linearity of level design. I think the RE3 remake really puts the second parameter into perspective.
Maybe atmosphere should be included as a new topic, but it can get kind of subjective, so I'm not sure about this one.
Bro there’s like 50 who disliked the video chill
Hasn't felt the same to me since RE4.
Way different experience ever since.
I still play but the magic isn't there anymore, they lost who they were along the way it feels.
Love your vids opens my eye on some things in these games ,thank you.
Or maybe they DID hear your reasons, and agree that your talking out of your ass.
Fantastic video. You really hit the nail on the head on how similar the series can be. You also made it very clear why I found RE5 so lacking compared to RE4. I haven't watched your RE2 Remake video yet (I'm in the middle of the B scenario) but I will once I've finished the game myself. The Revelations games look interesting, I will try them sometime in the future.
2nd run not b scenario. Good luck and enjoy. 😉
Re5 is better than 4
WTF did you say they where easier to kill in RE2make? It took me 8 head shots to kill a zombie... A normal zombie
Yeah, the damage system is jacked up
I would rather have less ammo than have to empty a cartridge in enemies... I never got without ammo, but got annoyed with the amount needed to kill anything
@@schillville I think RE1 Remake did it right
Am I the only one who has never had an issue with resident evil 5?
Also I've never found re4 hard to get through because it's challenging as much as it was because it dragged on in many parts.
Rev 1 and 2 are amazing especially rev 2 that imo is the perfect balance between old and new.
A category I felt was missing is how much story based the game was and the atmosphere.
Same here 5 felt good for me while 4 dragged once you reach the castle and island like it is a good game but man the pacing sucks
As an OG fan I dont care what anyone says I love re5 and 6
>OG Fan
>liked 5 and 6
lol nice joke mate
@@hyakugame Opinions kid ;)
@@hyakugame I'm also an og fan and re5 and 6 are fun certainly not as good as the classics but still fun.
Most og fans do only new fans that jumped on with remake 2 have such a hate for those games
I love Mercenaries Mode in 6 so much. The campaign is okay
For re 5, you need to play it with a friend. Same as 6, had so, so much fun.
Revelations 2 sucks for coop though, remote play with splitscreen only that is just terrible for the 2nd player.
I must say that this is the first video I watch from your channel, I’m sad that I didn’t know before about its existence. WONDERFUL CONTENT. You got a new subscriber
How have I just found this video 10 months after it was released? This is a great video, and I've been watching RE videos for a long time...
This is one of the best channels ive discovered all year. Keep it up!
Love RE6 idc about people :)
I also love RE revelation 1/2 ,RE4 and RE1
Can I just say Resident Evil 4 is just amazing, I had the Wii version when I was 12 and I played it a lot and beat it multiple times, I remember the Chainsaw guy and Regerators made me jump. Leon is so cute, badass, and sexy in this game and I love the cheesy lines he says like "where's everyone going? bingo?" and "no thanks, bro". I love Leon's voice, Paul Mercier did a great job voicing Leon and the Merchant. I love roundhouse kicking ganados in the face and picking up herbs and ammo. Ashley was a little annoying but she isn't that bad as the internet makes her out to be though I find it stupid that she can't climb down ladders. The bosses were also great with El Gigante and Krauser being my favorites, I found it pretty hilarious that Krauser can be beaten with only a knife. The graphics amazing for a 2005 GameCube game.
Bro I have played through Resi 4 on GC, PS2, Wii, PS3 and Switch and never ever thought to check the map. I completely forgot all this time it had one in the inventory menu
Really, If you don't check the map, how do you find treasure?
@@phoenixforce6595 I miss most of it
@@TheSnoozeFox Wow. You're braver than I am. Treasure is essential for upgrading weapons so that's the first thing I look out for every mission as I wanna max out my weapons as early as possible, especially playing on the Professional difficulty.
I explored very thoroughly my first ever time playing and have remembered where everything is ever since. Treasure, ammo, even traps.
Advice for RE5 here. Use a machine gun as your base weapon and give your AI partner a handgun and magnum. MG ammo is not as plentiful as handgun ammo, but it's not an issue if you can ration it out, especially since MGs can carry more ammo. With the AI partner, handgun ammo is everywhere and spawns from enemy loot regularly, so they almost never run low. Only have them switch to the magnum when a boss has their weak spot exposed. And you can exchange weapons with your partner, just not if it's the same one, why ask for a Hydra when you already have it.
No you keep the handgun and give them the machine gun, if the ai has a pistol they won't use other weapons as long as they have handgun ammo.
@@cookieface80 I give the AI a handgun and machine gun with piercing attributes, plus a semi auto sniper rifle.
John M. Nah, with the AI you MUST give him/her the first sniper rifle, and max it, it will kill any normal enemy on one hit and it has a large clip so the bot will never run out of ammo
@@damiangallo4185 I usually keep weapons with rarer ammo and let the AI partner use the handgun since ammo loot drops for it are so common. But I have heard of giving your AI partner the sniper because of their accuracy with it, but I'm usually fine with my strategy since it puts the excess pistol ammo to use. I'll probably try giving Sheva the sniper next time if I ever revisit the game.
John M. But... besides the magnum(which you can buy ammunition for), ammo is never “rare” the game will always drop you the ammo of the weapons you are carrying, you will still get handgun ammo though, but I just played today with only a handgun and I gave sheva only the rifle and 7 fas, the game kept giving me more rifle ammo than handgun actually
This video has much better analysis than the previous one, good job
So what you’re saying is... RE4 is the first shlooter?
It felt like one
Say it with me everyone, RE6 isn't a bad game, just a bad RE title.
@Boros Vita I mean, fair.
Compared to the rest of the series it was such a radical shift that at the time RE4 was only RE in name
@Boros Vita that's what I'm saying, the characters were the only things keeping it RE, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game just as you said, hell, I enjoyed most of Leon and Chris's campaigns in RE 6.
But I do agree that it certainly has it's flaws.
Your opinions are just as valid as mine Amigo.
I never got the problems that people have with Sheva's AI--in my personal first playthrough, she performed reasonably well. She died a few times, but no more often than a human co-op partner would have, and I didn't find that she wasted an unreasonable amount of ammo. Guess I got lucky lol.
Fr! I play it from time to time, and I still don't get what people are talking about😂. Sheva and I be tag team punching and kicking every enemy 😂
The way you say "octane" absolutely rustles my Jimmie, activates my almonds, and triggers me
After RE6 REV2 really looked like amazing game.
You’re so wrong about Sheva. Give her the sniper and the pistol ONLY. I’m attack mode She clicks heads with the sniper and will pick up all the treasure you don’t go get yourself. And put her in cover mode when you want her to stick near you and just waste pistol ammo. It’s so super simple and helpful EXCEPT for the Wesker final boss.
Have you considered doing a quick RE Formula examination for the new RE3make?
I can't wait to see your review of re3 make. 😂
Hearing that Resident Evil 5 theme brings me sad and nostalgic Memories from my teenhood when I was 13... I miss simpler days...
To me even though I’ve haven’t played re revelations 2 I feel it has a balanced feel of both the survival and action horror!
Really great video , underrated channel in general , i also really like your rebalanced halo mods !! But i have to say the scores for 7 were way too low , i don't think a few linear sections that were more so meant to set the mood and stuff ruin the experience that much , and most of them are executed well , like the salt mines imo as much as i hate how short and straight forward it is i still think it has some good action with well thought out enemy placement , and also while the combat is not that amazing which i agree with you on , i think 2 is still a bit low for it , 3 or 3 and a half is a bit more appropriate imo
Re5 deserves more credit than people give it. Also the bias to re4 is real here
Lames like ruby ride 4 like its a God
@@schemar17fr😂
Good ranking for the RE formula for these games and with the older titles too. Its funny cause I would also RE4 does keep to the RE formula but with some neat additions that give it its own flair. Never really played the Rev games but Rev1 never interested me and Rev2 sounds like a bit of a cluster fudge with its ideas. But thats just going with what I've heard atm.
6:01
Actually, you can still get that loot drop. Just leave the room after the fight and go right back in.
Glad this appeared in my recommendations.
I always use the free rocket launcher for Salazar I pop his eyes with my broken butterfly then when he’s exposed I use the launcher then I take all that ammo in the area with me and I’ve freed up my inventory space
congrats my man
That was a good video. I think it should be called the survival horror formula. The whole Exploration value, Combat and Octane, Inventory Item management, and Decision making. I have a few survival horror games you should apply that to and compare with RE. Dead Space series, Silent Hill series, Outlast 1&2, and Alien Isolation. Another one I'd suggest is underrated. It's the first Quasi Survival horror game that did the over the shoulder Camera before RE4. It's the not Canon Sequel to John Carpenter's The Thing. It's called The Thing from 2003. I'll let you decided which one you want to do or if you want to do any of them.
that is some crispy re4 gameplay
Well one of the most important thing you miss out the horror, so can the game scare you and is it like huh i'm out this room finally. Cuz i felt that moments from the games till Resi 4 and there i never had this feeling and this non existent till resi 7. And Resi 2 remake have a little bit of this still missing it the most part. So i guess this is the main reason i like only resi 7 from the modern games.
And by the way Resident Evil 1 remake is how you make a remake not 2 and 3!
I believe Ruby was correct by not adding scare factor as a metric.
That kind of thing is very subjective, expecially so if we consider that exposure to scary games can leave some of us more desensitized to them.
I'm in the same boat as you, the older games used to scare me more, but today? Not even RE7 left me very scared. It reminded me a lot of Outlast, and some of the scares felt kind of familiar to me.
Re2 remake B scenarios really are a damn shame, kind of a slap in the face if you ask me. However, it does nail down the fear and gameplay mechanics we want from a survival horror perspective in some pretty grand ways.
I feel like RE4 would have been even better had the story not completely jumped the shark. Had they kept it more down to earth (insofar as the lore allows) and gritty, it would have aged better. In my heart, RE4 and on aren't canon, even though I love RE4.
4 really isn't that far off compared to anything before in terms of over the topness
For me it went from good, sort of believable science fiction, to ridiculous far out science fiction blended with corny action film.
That's not to say I didn't still love it though.
"Ridiculous far out science fiction blended with corny action film" pretty much precisely sums up every Pre-4 Resi game
@Vogel Car Constructors
Code Veronica has Wesker with super speed.
I wasn't wild about that aspect, either.
For me "Resident Evil" has always been a zombie game. It started out with a virus outbreak in a small midwestern town called "Raccoon City" where citizens were dying from it and coming back as zombies. An investigation team from the RPD (S.T.A.R.S) was sent in and discovered that a pharmaceutical corporation called "Umbrella" was responsible. The story continued on until part 3 when Raccoon city was nuked and Umbrella corporation fell into financial ruin. End of a great zombie game series, and amazing story telling. In my opinion all of the games after that were not _really_ a continuation of the story and should have been stand alone games. "Leon's big adventure" or more appropriately "Curse of the Mennonites" was great and fun to play, but it didn't deserve the Resident Evil title; nor did any of the rest of them... especially 7.
The "re-imagining" (not remake) of RE2 and 3 merely touched on the foundation of the original games and as a result were wildly successful. A large part of that is because fans of the original games petitioned and begged for remakes of 2 and 3 ever since the remastering of RE1 back in 2002. What we ended up getting was far from a remake or remaster, but it certainly showed that Capcom was not moving in the right direction after the original RE3 (as far as RE fans were concerned). I think the initial sells of "RE4" was due to the six year gap between RE3 and not because it was a new bold direction. Everyone was just tired of waiting for it and bought it simply because it was titled "RE4." Its a good thing it turned out to be a fun game, but I think it would have sold almost as many copies even if it sucked.
Man, finally someone understands this!
Re3make was shit and to an extent re2 remake as well
This is not completly true, even the First Three Games arent a Zombie Games but is about BOW,conspiration,Mistery and Horror.
Aside from playing the new releases for the first time, the only Resident Evil games i play these days are:
RE0
RE1 remake
RE2 remake
RE3 remake
RE Outbreak
RE Operation Raccoon City
imo, Raccoon City was the golden age and peak of the series.
amazing resident evil series!!!
No, they gave up on trying to have any sort of a cohesive plot to this series. They also for no reason at all destroyed some of the set in stone cannon plot points that could have been used to add plot links to the early days and could have turned into a hood storyline. For example re3 nemisis has multiple ending based on the choices of 2 live selections if you push nemesis off or you jump off the bridge. If you jump off you can either shoot Nikolai down or have a little heart 2 heart over the radio. Everybody always lost there minds 2 Barry picking you up at the end of the game if you jump off. Little known tho is that the dumpster fire that was gun survivor, if you chose the theater path you get to read a file which is probably the only interesting part of the game but you read everyone's favorite Russians report on raccoon city which was written after the nukes it. The opening of zero also sets in stone that hun survivor was cannon. So all these years later during a game you here I'm quite impressed you've stayed alive till this long girl, no one would have ever thought oh yea the villain in cloak off in the shadows who could it be? It's the Ted Bundy's of umbrella supervisors up to his old shenanigans. Instead of that when you delegate a remake of that old game off, well let's have ya shoot him in the head to be the only way yo end the game, and if ya dont take the shot you get 2 quick shots and a game over. When they dud REMake shinji Mikamis golden rule was if you add something to the game, it has to positively add to the experience, stuff like lisa trevor or the graveyards. Well hey fallout had a cool ending if you had bad karma, let's rewrite cannon history for a second of shock value.
RE fromula: Horror setting with exploration and item hunting for puzzles. Camera perspective was never par of the equation, RE7 and RE2 remake are totally resident evil games.
Nice video
I came across a review of Resident Evil 6 by Gaming Pastime. He went into it thinking he'll enjoy it because he loves action games, only to come out disappointed and called the game a complete and utter mess.
It's a shame he didn't enjoy the game. Personally, I liked the game a whole lot. Do I think it's the best RE game, hell no. Is it the worst game, I don't think so. RE6 was my first RE game and it led me to play the other games. It's definitely strayed from the first game's focus, but it does contribute to the lore quite a bit imo.
Edit:
I don't hate any of the RE games, Resident Evil is a great franchise and the variety between games was interesting to say the least.
Lol can't wait to see what you have to say about Village.
Great video! I agree with your points on RE4 and RE7. RE4 didn't remove what was in the originals, but instead reorganized them into something fresh. RE7 disappointed me immensely. The linear moments and slow movement hurt the experience. OG RE2 was more linear than RE1 but made up for it with the zapping system and atmosphere. RE7 had more "in your face horror" than its predecessors.
Bro! You have to make a video of RE3make
Yeah your right it does still keep the resident evil formally. This is not a sarcasm comment i really mean what I'm saying.
in short no, even missing things like fixed perspective means a lot of hings get lost that can't be done the same as that style, not a matter of liking those changes but a style lost because of that won't come back, sure others will pick it up but RE not having its core design still is a stab in the gut
- moment re4 killed the plot of umbrella hte series was dead
- the moment they over focus on multiplayer kills the point
- the moment it became action horror killed the point
- the moment they don't go back to fixed perspective they lose things only really gained in that style
the problem is losing its style - even if one likes the result it doesn't capture that style cause it simply isn't, its apparent they should make a new ip and cut the fat of the branding that isn't helping anymore, ironic as that would be given the engine name
I just replayed Resident Evil 4 and it is excellent.
In RE4...the double El Gigante fight...
It's been a LONG TIME but I am 90% sure if you dump one into the lava and kill the other one and then LEAVE the room and come back in, the loot drop from the one dumped in the lava will be in the middle of the room.
Yes. That's how you can still get the loot drop
I love resident evil outbreak so much outbreak and zero are both my favorite games by far.❤️❤️❤️
re6 had the potential to be a really good game story wise and character development wise...but it didn't know what it wanted to be.
IMO they should have focused on Chris' campaign and maybe Leon's (since he's a main character and we get the other half of the story with his missions) but Sherry and Jake seemed unneeded and poorly executed. i went into re6 with an open mind and i enjoyed playing Chris' campaign but through most of the game i was just waiting for a "down moment" when i could just sit back and explore and take everything in and not rush it, but the constant fighting and action just more or less annoyed me by an hour into the game. Yeah I don't mind action here and there, but just not constant. I like to breath and enjoy lol.
I'm more of a story person than an action and pretty graphics person. to me, the story will make up for those other two. I liked Chris' exploration into his character and seeing how much this life has taken a toll on him emotionally. Leon's story was kinda...meh? i didn't like the story's full focus on Ada and I just disliked Helena all together. I don't mind Ada but she isn't my top five fav characters and to have a game focused on her kinda turned me off. But that didn't mean I didn't like the ideas they were working with. I thought it was cool how they went with the cloning route and Carla was a cool villain but they set her up and take her down in one story, wish I could have seen her in at lest another installment to flush out the story more.
my other issue was the new characters. Piers made sense with Chris' story because the way i saw him was like what Chris USED to be like--the guy that just wants to help people and save the world and the whole good soldier. he was symbolically Chris' past self he needed to reconnect with. Jake...idk how I feel about his character. this once again goes back to my other opinion on how the game should have been flushed out more and slower maybe over two installments. they could have hinted to Wesker being his dad but have Jake still unaware. then maybe for installment two have him and Chris be forced to team up and their differences be the center for that game.Helena i just didn't care for. Sherry was an unexpected add in and leads up to my next thought. Capcom is great at making characters...but awful at reusing them. They made re5 about Chris finding Jill but then nothing is talked about after. instead of giving Leon a new character what about adding in Claire? or someone else that's already established maybe Jill? why do we always need new characters when we have lots of characters already existing? this became a longer rant then i thought so i'll cut it short. re6 is a decent action game with bad controls, but not a good resident evil game. it could have been if it was flushed out differently and the story was reworked with more focus on the main characters and their evolution inside this universe.
Should have had operation racoon City on this list lol
Starting with 5, and in a way very with 4( only due to jet ski) there has been this annoying presence of vehicular combat.
nobody told me that you could give molotovs for natalia to use lol wtf.
Wow, if we follow this formula, Dead Space 1 and 2 are basically Resident Evil IN SPACE.
Although your review is well explained, I do think that you should have also reviewed the co op side of RE5, RE6 and RE Revelations 2. Don't get me wrong, reviewing the singleplayer side is extremely important and was well explained in those games. Bit multiplayer is an important side to those games
what about Resident Evil 3 remake?
Resident Evil 2 remake was the best resident evil game capcom made in along time.Resident Evil 7 and 8 are good games but they're for a new generation that don't know Jack shit about old-school Resident Evil.The zombies the monsters the fix camera angels the atmosphere walking down dark creepy corridors.Thats the resident evil I grew up with

So true what you said in this video about the resident evil franchise. Did you know resident evil is actually a Action&Adventure/Puzzle+Plaformer and Shooter game base on it's function and structure design? from the classic resident evil game it's gameplay structure design function like a platformer style and modern resident evil games going from resident evil 4-6 and 2019 resident evil game call resident evil 2 remake are shooter games.
Which is nothing wrong with resident evil begin a Action&Adventure/Puzzle+Plaformer/Shooter game, i enjoy mostly all resident evil games including resident evil 6 because i understand what resident evil gameplay design is.
Did you know the resident evil series isn't actually a true survival horror game it goes under the guise as a survival horror game? so many people have the wrong impression about resident evil. yeah sure resident evil has horror element and horror theme but is that all it takes to make a survival horror game? I really want to know your thoughts, response when you can if like.
To me survival horror is any game that goes out of its way to instill fear in the in the player with horror theming, while also giving them the tools to fight back, manage resources, and overcome.
@@RubyofBlue
A well put answer. I agree a survival horror game would cause someone to be in a horrific circumstance where they can overcoming a sticky situation or overcoming difficult challenges, a struggle for survival.
Also evoking the person as well as create a state of precaution and readiness for the worst case scenario, along with knowing a highly intelligent or mid intelligent creature/psychopath seeking to destroy it's prey that is a ferocious/deadly begin.
RE4 made i not play more RE games at RE7, and i don't like too, but the Remakes make i back.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the stealth mechanics of REV2. It completely altered your approach to combat. Because you could be in an area full of tough enemies, but knowing how to maneuver around, and silently take them down, can save you a ton of resources for later parts of the game when you're forced to shoot your way through.
If you complain about RE5 enemy AI dumb down I don't see why having a dumb partner AI would be a problem, I never had any problem with the AI partner for both RE4 & 5... Accept the part in RE5 where the partner has to hold the lights.
So you are a massive Halo fan
AND a Resident Evil fan?!
What about Zelda?
When I was eleven years old I saw the movie "Night of the living dead" when it was in theaters back in 1968 (yes I'm an old man). That movie had a profound effect on me at that age. I pissed the bed for a few nights after seeing it, and I never watched it again until 1996 after I played Resident Evil on the PS1. That Resident Evil game brought back that feeling of horror and fear that I experienced way back then (although it didn't cause me to piss the bed) and I haven't found any other survival horror game that has done the same for me. So when Capcom decided to take away the zombies, it was no longer "Resident Evil" for me. My point is, the foundation of any good story or tale is what makes the formula for its success. Its not so much the view perspective, inventory layout, combat mechanics or weapons. You can't take away the foundation of a story, replace it with something non related, throw in modern add-on's, and then call it the same thing only new and improved. Anyway, just my opinion and for what its worth. Nice video by the way. I subbed.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, the experience is completely different. For me, RE is:
A sense of danger.
Survival.
Cinematic style.
Quality game.
Good music.
In my opinion it would be:
1. Resident Evil.
2. Resident Evil remake.
3. Resident Evil 2.
4. Resident Evil 3.
5. Resident Evil Zero.
6. Resident Evil 5.
7. Revelations 2.
8. Code Veronica
9. Darkside Chronicles.
10. Umbrella Chronicles.
11. Resident Evil 7.
12. Resident Evil 4.
13. Resident Evil 2 remake.
14. Resident Evil 3 remake.
15. Revelations.
16. Resident Evil 6.
17. Gun survivor.
Way too nice to RE4. It’s just another action game. No puzzles and it provides way too many recourses to deal with hordes of enemies. RE is not about treasure hunting and buying guns.
"No puzzles" lol
"provides way too many resources" lols in RE2, 3, and Code Veronica
What, the sliding puzzle? Oooh great puzzle. 2 and C:V give you enough ammo, but you have to be smart. In 4 I stared leaving ammo behind because I couldn’t carry so much of it.
@@harrydaniells5359 RE2 is piss easy. It's arguably the easiest mainline game. It also has the least amount of puzzles. RE4 is more action but still a RE game at heart.
@@the757general2 lol ok.
Sad Operation Raccoon City noises*
I finded mainly one issue and thats the skill system in RE6 is absolutli broken if you use Quick shots+meele boosts+Crit DMG i think you have a practicali gigantique tutorial to just walk trough
I simply refuse to play RE6. I played the demo back on the 360 and that was enough for me. Looking at the gameplay footage in this video, it doesn't even look like an RE game and looks super busy.
I played it after a year and yikes the game has more bad than good
This video further supports my opinion that the top 5 resi games are:
Resident Evil 4
Revelations 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 2 remake
And Resident Evil 1 Remake
I’ll say this with every breakdown of RE6........Its a great game........just not a great game in the Resident Evil Universe.
I always thought it weird that they skipped from RE5 to RE7. But I guess it's like going from windows 8 to windows 10. There was just never a product in between those two.
Tf you talking about? There’s a resident evil 6 it was just complete shit
@@theinfamousdingus2228 it's almost like he was making a joke on the fact that people tend to ignore that game
I don't agree with you about Resident Evil 6 combat decision making. A melee is a viable option because it prevents the J'avo's mutation. The best course of action is to dash toward the J'avo and press aim, it will make the character slide, knock the J'avo out with an opening for a clean kill, ranged attacks might cause mutation.
Regarding exploration, there are a lot of nooks and crannies with ammunitions and herbs, finding them is a must while playing on professional due to the severe lack of those provisions.
no
Dude re5 exploration value of 4?? Nah
so... revelations 2 is... The Last of Us,got it
Despite RE6 having a terrible campaign, the mercenaries mode is worth the price of the game. That being $20. Don't get me wrong, a game should have a fun campaign and RE6 was a complete mess. It basically doesn't tell you half of the mechanics because it wants to show you an explosion. But the combat is fanastic, but a little jank. If capcom made another 3rd person shooter game with RE6's combat but more polished and a fun campaign, then it might be one of capcom's best games. It has so much potential, but it has no room to spread its wings in RE6. Or at least it has no campaign level design to emphasis the combat complexity
To me Resident Evil has always been more of an action series with an engaging story but bad writing and good corny jokes. Each game is designed to where the player is always loaded with powerful weapons or can abuse powerful melee attacks in some games. (tho code veronica's knife feels more like a oversight more than intentional).
You should do some of the side games/spin off games, as much as I seriously love the classics and the modern games, Especially RE6 and Revelatons 2 (yeah i'm one of those assholes who loves RE6)... The best RE game for me has always been Outbreak.
Back in the ps2 days Outbreak, along with my JRPGs, GTA. Has always given me tons of replay value also since 2015 I've joined the online community and good god it runs so well. I love how teamwork is handled in outbreak where one person or the team splits up to tackle various objectives or one player is tasked with gathering up supplies for the team to prepare for some of the tough fights later in the game. Also each difficulty affects how each stage is accessible with it's rooms, events, item locations and all that.
Also for a PS2 game made in 2003 to 2004 it still looks lovely, It looks like RE1make but with full 3D graphics but sadly sacrificing those sexy polygon curves and HD textures. It does go to show that you can have low graphics but still make them look high quality with well done textures.
NO
very interested to hear your thoughts on re8
No
No.
The first person perspective killed resident evil
@@Spantzcatdog exactly and that wasn't good either, but like ya said it's debatable
@@Spantzcatdog I understand people like the fps but fixed camera angles and over the shoulder has always been the strength of these games, first person just doesn't give it the resident evil feel, it feels like a different game entirely
wtf ever was RE 6, it was not a good game. I play horror games to get fkin scared, not to confidently walk up to my enemies
You must hate Resident Evil games, whenever you have a Shotgun or Magnum.
@@RubyofBlue you are speaking to a huge RE fan, 6 was hot kaka. I think you misunderstand tbh
No it doesn't.
The fanboyism and bias towards RE4 is really shining through. I agree that it's a good game, but a good Resident Evil it is not.
like a fan , RE 5 6 7 dont exist, i just another game with the tittle from another game, they just wanna a new game and with fear of fail put the name RE for sales
Dude, RE 5 is basically a clone of RE 4,and I think 4 is soo overated and stupier than 5.
Stopped watching after his analysis of 5. It's way more complex than 4.
None of the objective improvements over 4 were mentioned.
IMO RE5 is RE4 2.0. It fixed what I disliked about 4 and refined what I liked about it.
Saying 4>5 (or all) gets easy views so I am not surprised.
If you think adding more stuff = better, I'm sure you would think re5 is better. Too bad the levels are clearly worse
@@onceyougozach2607Gameplay mechanics are the same but refined without breaking the formula.
Graphics are objectively better. Story is more relevant to RE lore. The tone is more serious.
And the mercenaries is WAAAAAAY better.
If RE4 is Borderlands 1, RE5 is Borderlands 2.
@@ResidentReveler the controls are slightly better, the inventory is worse, the ai partner is worse, the enemy encounters are worse ESPECIALLY in the 2nd half, the weapon feedback and upgrade system are downgraded, the plot is boring and dumb because it doesn't have the excuse of being comedic to fall back on, so it just has to be taken at face value and there's nothing well written about it. The atmosphere and environments are worse. The pacing of the game is not as fun because the combat scenarios only get less interesting as the game goes on. Just because a game has marginal improvements in controls doesn't make it a better game. I guess that means resident evil 6 is the undisputed best in the series. Those little improvements only matter if the core game is better, which it isn't. Re5 starts off alright it turns into a total slog by chapter 3. The lickers are a joke of an enemy and the guys with AKs are just straight up bad for obvious reasons. I can see how mercenaries would be improved but I haven't tried it myself.
@@ResidentReveler also, almost every boss fight in re5 is bad. Some of them are just shitty versions of re4 boss fights. El Gigante turret section? Lmfao
@@onceyougozach2607 I disagree with pretty much everything you said. Especially about the boss fights and weapon feedback.
I have been playing RE since the 90s. And RE5 is not only my favourite RE but also my favourite video game of all time.
When it comes to playtime, I have beaten 4 just 5 times from 2005 - 2022. Whereas I have clocked over 5K hours on RE5 across various platforms.
Just by playing the demo of RE5 back in 2009, I felt it was superior to 4 in almost every way.
The new RE games always kept the cheesy lines, the type of fear that RE always had, the charm. It's always been there after 7. It's just not cheesy lines every time they talk but RE2 Remake nailed it and is probably the best in its genre. RE1 Remake is probably the 2nd best. I get way more annoyed with RE1 sometimes but it's still great.
You know, I actually agreed with this series up until you reached the RE2make, and wow, I could not agree more. RE2make feels more like the frustrating meme-fueled expy of classic RE games to me. It's a lousy remake and almost as bad a game in its own right; even RE7 is more fun to play.
Way to hard on RE7 and way too easy on RE4. Don't let your opinions on quality actually dictate the object facts.
The modern RE games are lame. From 5 up. All are trash. RE5 is kind of okay? The Co-Op is fun.
Play Revelations 2
This videos would have been better if you weren't so horribly biased. The way you judge the games is horribly inconsistent and you keep reusing factors from combat and item management into the last category so you can fuddle with numbers. Try to be more objective next time so your blatant favoritism doesn't show. This is just a "My ranking list of RE games" with extra steps.
