Resident evil Options

[Ethronix]

Has anyone here played the resident evil series?

I liked the series quite a bit and have most of them....(a few exceptions.)
Anyway what do you guys think(about the various game that have com out so far)? And what do you think Resident Evil 5 will be like?

Bump.

I have played every single Resident Evil game aside from Dead Aim and any other of the Survivor series.

Despite the fact I accredit Silent Hill and Fatal Frame for having a much more horrific experience in their gameplay, Resident Evil basically set some core rules for much of the genre, and all the games ( aside from 4 and any of the Survivor Series ) have amazing atmosphere, brilliant soundtracks, and very memorable experiences. I can still fondly remember the frights I got from the games, most particulary being the Mirror Room in Resident Evil 2, where a Licker jumps through what you THOUGHT was a mirror, but was in fact, a window for an interrogation room.

4 I detest in almost every form for essentially turning the series into a generic shooter. I was not scared by anything ( due to the sheer ease of the game ), the atmosphere was not there, and I did not find any of the music memorable. Not to mention how little sense it made in a series that had often prided itself on attempting to not reach into the bounds of paranormality. However I did enjoy the segments with Regenerators, and parts where you were being completely overwhelmed by Villagers in the Cabin or at the start of the game.

I have low hopes for RE5, as I feel Capcom will most likely be following the same formula, but I hope that they stay true to their promise of more enemies at a time, as that would make the game more enjoyable for me if I decide to get it.


My favorites, in order are:

Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil ( REmake ). The rest I still hold in high regard however.

I never did get around to playing any of the Gamecube Resident Evils. I didn't hate 4, but it really didn't feel like a RE game, and I'm just not interested enough to try 5. I'm in total agreement with 2 being the best in the series.

I played two of the Survivor series. I hate them so much :(

And its not enough that Capcom decided to turn the series into a shooter, they're going back and redoing older ones into arcade shooters too. Since I haven't played either one of those yet I'll hold off on saying I hate them though.

Also my next two favorites would be 1(original) and 3. I'm sure the remake would replace 3 if I ever got a chance to play it though. I've always felt kind of meh on Zero though.

Also one BGM in Umineko totally reminds me of the Save room theme for RE2
