Retro_Link Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Gametrailers Resident Evil Retrospective: Part I http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45114.html REmake just looks SO good! It amazes me everytime I see it! I know it's all pre-rendered, but it looks as good as Resi 5 does now! Imagine what the potential would be if they returned the series to it's pre-rendered roots!... or I dunno, maybe there isn't a great deal more you could do! I know there's the arguement over wanting Resi 2/3 REmakes vs. them being a waste of time and people preferring to have new entries in the series. But I for one would absolutely love the chance to play through an updated version of those games; whether they be pre-rendered, or somehow slightly more like Resi 4. And I think especially if the new entries, Resi 5, 6, 7... are gonna keep moving more towards action adventure, then there is a place for some truely scary REmakes! and a reward for fans of the original style.
EchoDesiato Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I really want Capcom to bring over RE2 and 3 to DS, like they did with the original one. I loved Deadly Silence. I really can't understand why they don't do it. Anyway, the only RE games I played are RE:DS, RE4 (GC) and RE4:WE. I prefer the more actiony gameplay of RE4, but I should really check out the more traditional RE's.
Zechs Merquise Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I watched the retrospective and I can't wait for more. I was excellent and really well done. After seeing how well RE4 runs on the Wii I wish they'd redo RE2 on the Wii with an over the shoulder camera - hell I'd even settle from a GC REmake style. I first played RE on the Saturn, then on the GC with REmake. I got RE4 on both the GC and Wii and have clocked UC. I always meant to get the Gamecube renditions of RE2, 3 and CV. Sadly I never got around to it.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Part 2 is up. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45470.html
darksnowman Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I watched the first part last week and thought it was pretty good. I'll check out part two tonight and see what gets covered. I was wondering though, how come they have started with a new series of retrospectives for RE when they already began with one not so long ago...?
Retro_Link Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 I was wondering though, how come they have started with a new series of retrospectives for RE when they already began with one not so long ago...? That one was just a quick backstory focusing on Leon and Claire to get people ready for the Resi CGI movie they're in. Part 2 of the retrospective is great. Resi 2 is just so cool, I REALLY want that REmake! Do you think if they did do one they would scrap all the different storylines [Leon A, B and Claire A, B] and just make one story that plays out the scenarios Capcom take to be the true ones; as it does appear a bit complicated!
Hero-of-Time Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Part 3 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45682.html
darksnowman Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Part 4: Resident Evil Gaiden, Mobile, Survivor, Umbrella Chronicles and Outbreak. Part 5: Leon faces a new plague, and Umbrella meets Alice. Not much chatter going on here, have you Resi nuts got nothing to say about the series and these retrospectives? I've been watching em and learning about the games pretty much as I go. Part 3 was interesting seeing as all the games covered, aside from Umbrella Chronicles, were unknown to me. Part 5 I was expecting to be the biggy seeing as it covered Resi 4, but it somehow came across as being a more subdued look at the game everyone seems to gush about.
Retro_Link Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 I had written something in here but it was deleted when the forum switched servers and I couldn't be bothered again! Loved Part 3, because Code Veronica is just SO awesome and I enjoyed being reminded of it. As unlikely as it would be, if Resi 2 & 3 ever get remakes, I'd like Code Veronica to get one too at some stage, despite it still looking pretty good. Episode 4: - Didn't know RE: Degeneration got a mobile game! I'd like to see a proper game of the film on Wii [if they decide not to give us Resi 6, or any REmakes], as I think an airport scenario would be cool, and more of a 'classic' Resi setting. Episode 5: - What!! A sequel to CV was originally planned for the Gamecube!! - I've never once considered Leon's not a redhead! - I hadn't twigged this... the original plan for Resi 4 [early T-Virus] has now become Resi 5 [story of the early T-Virus]! We didn't really know what we were looking at back then, but that dark cloud [T-Virus] that followed Leon around the castle seems to be part leech monster; which now appears in Resi 5 without the smoke and mirrors disguise!... - In the original concept, what guy with a large pair of scissors?!! - Resi 4 is just all kinds of AWESOME!! will prob have to get the Wii version aswell sometime!
Dante Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 The dark cloud isnt T-Virus it is Progenitor Virus (Mother Virus). Progenitor virus + ebola + leech DNA = T-Virus. Resi 5 tells the timeline of the series in the loading screens.
Retro_Link Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 The dark cloud isnt T-Virus it is Progenitor Virus (Mother Virus).Oh yeah, of course! I even remember them saying it in that original trailer... 'The cradle of the progenitor virus'.Stupid GT, I just wrote down what they were saying! But anyways, they still seem to have carried the general idea of that [enemy at least] across into Resi 5. Looking back at that trailer now, the concept was pretty awesome, you felt Leon was being constantly 'hunted' by this thing [like with the Nemesis], and that was bound to feel scary! I'd like to see the Wii become the official home of Leon's storyline! With a Resi 2 REmake, maybe a console game of Degenerations, and a prequel/sequel to Resi 4, that could perhaps build off of that Progenitor Idea. Chris is finding out about the T' in Resi 5, lets have Leon confront the other one!
