For all its cheesy and camp I think the DS version updates it juuuust enough that it's still worth playing on its own.
As god intended.
All hail Barry Burton.
So glad he's in Mercenaries.
2.: What is the best way to handle the enemies in Remake? Can you place them in the order of their appearance (zombies first; appearance of dogs in cutscene do not count)?
3.a.: Have you played Darkside Chronicles on the Wii? If so, how do you beat Alexia Ashford's flying form?
3.b.: If beating her involves the special weapon you obtain, when are you able to get a hit on her? (Personal question: can't beat that bitch 'cause she just flys around my shot >.<)
4.: You've told us how you've felt about the alpha form of RE4. What are your thoughts on the form that was released in 2004?
Also, George Trevor was a victim of his own creation; I feel more pity and sadness for Lisa Trevor's fate...Poor Lisa. You did not deserve that.
*Umbrella Chronicles SPOILERS*
You certainly shouldn't've been killed like you were by that bastard, Wesker. I enjoyed how Wesker died in RE5...thouroughly.
Can't wait for the new RE:5 DLC! Barry and Rebecca! Also, Excella!
Question 1: I believe I got it down to about 5 or 6 hours. I honestly never really tried to see how fast I could play through it; I mainly went through multiple times trying to memorize every location of items, files, and enemies.
Question 2:
Zombie- Honestly you can avoid these in most situations. To do this, you can just try to dodge the zombie. If you need to confront it, any weapon honestly works though a handgun is more than good enough. Try to take out the head. Otherwise, if the zombie isn't decapitated, the zombie can return as a Crimson Head unless you burn the body.
Cerberus (Zombie Dog) - These enemies are fast yet fairly weak. You want to try to keep them as far back as you can. You can use a handgun on them, though the shotgun would be the most effective due to the blast knocking them back.
Crows - Fairly harmless; you encounter them in the hall with the painting puzzle. If they attack, you can just leave the hall and re-enter. The puzzle will reset and the crows will return to their spots. If you need to knock them away, you can just use the knife.
Snakes- Try to avoid them by running through the pool area and dodge the spots they drop down from before they land on you or approach you.
Tarantula - The spiders main danger is the fact that they spray poison. Try to keep distance between yourself and them; you can use a handgun to knock them down or kill them
Sharks - Try to run around the tank as fast as you can to avoid them. If the yet, if they get too close, then shoot them with a handgun or shotgun
Bees - Use the knife to knock them away and just run from the area
Hunter - It's possible to dodge them, though it is difficult due to their speed. Use a shotgun or the grenade launch on them. The magnum is also useful though it's recommend that you save magnum ammo for bosses near the end.
Crimson Head - The second form of zombies, these enemies are the results of zombies mutating if you don't decapitate them or burn the body. They're faster and more dangerous the original zombies and can vomit acid on you. The shotgun is the best weapon for these.
Chimera - If you're grabbed, use a battery pack or flash grenade to knock yourself loose. Shotgun or grenade launcher is good for them.
Question 3: Sadly, I haven't played pass the first few parts of Darkside Chronicles since I had to rent it. Money's been tight.
Question 4: I was highly excited for Resident Evil 3.5. (what I'll refer to the game as). The story was suppose to be of Leon searching for Sherry after Wesker kidnapped her after Code Veronica. His search sent him to Umbrella's headquarters in France (the location upon which Wesker received samples of the Nemesis project in the 80s). The building had been abandoned due to the corporation closing after the outbreak. So it continued the plot much better than Resident Evil 4 did when it was released.
I also highly liked the tense atmosphere it seemed to have offered.
Also, I do feel sympathetic for Lisa though I don't blame George. He was completely unaware of what he was building. Spencer hid the truth when he asked George to design the mansion. To George, he was building nothing more than a resort with a few secret passages. Besides, he also mentions how after the mansion was built and he was visiting, he saw the passage under the waterfall even they it was never in his blueprints; which hints that his original work was altered behind his back.
Great read! RE2 spurred my gaming obsession as well. I've always played games, but not until I got an issue of Tips & Tricks did I find myself reading and pondering about that game (plus Zelda: OoT and MGS) every day. I bought the Versus strategy guide for RE2 and I swear I've read it cover-to-cover dozens of times!
As for the Trevor family, that's one of the saddest bits of story unveiled through documents I've ever read.
The reason I bought a Gamecube was for Resident Evil, I shit you not :)
PS. is Resident Evil Deadly Silence any good?
Funnily enough, I first played RE1 at an aunt and uncle's house; Sadly, he died a few years later, but he was a great guy.
greaat read tho :D
I'm in love with the story and world however, and even read the books!
It does have an alternate version of the game that includes a few new areas to the mansion that were not included in the original. I also believe the Chimera is in it... but I might be wrong on that... Anyway, the alternate mode does feature some special gameplay mechanisms added to it to support the DS' unique controls. For example, there's some puzzles that use the touch screen, you can try to revive Richard by blowing into the DS mic, and there's some first person knife fights, again using the touch screen.
I'd say it's worth it if you've never played the original. Otherwise, you could probably pass unless you want it as a collector's item.
YOU JUST TOLD MY STORY!!!
THAT IS EXACTLY MY LIFE AND RESIDENT EVIL!!!
YOU JUST WROTE THAT!!!
IT HAPPENED YOU EXACTLY AS ME!!!
here's why:
when i was 5 (i was too young i guess) i remember everything. my UNCLE(just like you!) and some friends brought to my grandma's house a PSX, it was cool but i didn't know its pourpose, so one of his friends said: "HEY! LOOK AT THIS GAME!! THEY TOLD ME IT WAS HORRIFIC!!! LET'S PLAY IT!!!
the game was Resident Evil...
they started playing it,but the funny part is that they didn't have a memory card,so everytiem they played it was to see how far into the game they got.
and there i was,watching how my uncle beats zombies and snakes,the game just left me thrilled and engaged by the first time i saw it(I WAS 5!), i won't forget the first time i saw the first zombie you encounter in the mansion,it was awesome, the game just let me wondering how the story ended cuz without a memory card it was nearly impossible clear the game like that.
i wanted to know more about the game,but i was too young so there was nearly nothing i could do...just wait.
years later,maybe 2 years later, my uncle bought silent hill wich for me is just a game that until today i can't play it alone.
silent hill was awesome for me but i still couldn't forget resident evil.
then years later my uncle's brother had a dreamcast and with it a game called "Resident evil: Code veronica", i was exited about watching them play it, i wanted to know more a bout the game and the characters and story...
Code veronica is a game that i remember as a hard game and one of the best of the resident evil franchise, the mood,the characters,the scares, and the subtle touchs like the last password being: Veronica.
code veronica just left me more intrigued about the characters so one way or another we got RE:3 Nemesis... i saw my uncle play it... and i LOVED JILL,by now is my most beloved RE character to date,nemesis was scary as hell and i was first introduced to racoon city.
there i knew i was a resident evil fan.but i wasn't strong enoguh to play them all by myself...it was too scary... but the RE universe was intriguing and very engaging so i read all the RE info i could, i read a bout the games,about the characters,about the story and soon enough i knew everything about resident evil... i was just missing something...
the games...
so i decided to start playing them.bakc in those days i had my beloved playstation 2,and soon heard that resident evil 4 was coming to the plataform,when it came out i played it, i loved it(the story was kinda meh but still...), and i considered myself a person who can take care of myself(in the game) so i decided to get the other RE games(the ones before re4.the survival-horror ones),i started by RE0 for the gamecube then RE remake,then the outbreaks,,the movies,the comics,the chainsaw controllers,the books....everything.
by now i have every (almost) resident evil game to date. i don't have the survivor ones cuz there's no timeline in those games and they aren't that good.
so.
my story is pretty much like yours,but different i guess.
i know everything about resident evil.
you just ask me something.
lets see...
when was te T-virus patented and by whom?.
When REmake hit the fan...I was crapping my pants! That game still scares the hell out of me. The way the zombies move thier jaws is soo great. The graphics still amaze me!!!
HOW THE HELL DO THEY HAVE BLOOD SPRAY ON A PRE-RENDERED WALL!?!?!?
<3 Capcom 4EVA!!!!!11
Am I the only person who bought and read all of the RE novels??
I believe it was discovered during the 1950s by James Marcus, Edward Ashford, and Ozwell E. Spencer. I know that as of Resident Evil 5, it's believed that the virus was discovered in December of 1966 or 1967 though based on the series' timeline, both those years are impossible.
I say this because it was in 1960 that Alexander Ashford graduated with a Ph.D in bio-genetics and joined his father (Edward Ashford's) research team on the virus. Then it was in 1963 when Spencer approached George Trevor to design and build the Spencer mansion to hide the research lab. (How could such events happen if the virus was discovered in 1966-67? The answer is simple: It's impossible. There's a mistake in the game.)
Am I the only person who bought and read all of the RE novels??:
Nope, I have them all as well.
And as for the people who were disappointed with the gameplay change, you're not the only one. Personally, I'd love to see Capcom keep the gameplay style that was featured in the Lost in Nightmares DLC. Though I will say to not fully pass up Resident Evil 5 just for that. Yes, it does suck that it is more action based, but it actually has a lot in it designed just for the fans.
Aaron: I'm not sure how willing I'd be to jump into a huge XBox Live party, but if you're interested in pulling up the document, I'd gladly answer them in a post. Though I've also been thinking about doing a podcast with a couple friends; I could feature it in that as well.
BiroBiro: Sherry's disappearance after Code Veronica was considered before but Capcom passed the idea over and it faded away. She was suppose to originally be in Resident Evil 4 (aka Resident Evil 3.5) before Capcom scrapped the projected and rebuilt it.

However, those sites aren't as good as they use to be. They've both undergone some server changes and it looks like some information was lost. RE Horror us to have all the game files but they don't anymore from what I could tell.
You could try Wikipedia... but I've already found contradictions involving the plot. Even [url-http://residentevil.wikia.com/Resident_Evil_Wiki]Resident Evil Wiki[/url] has a couple mistakes, but probably less than looking each game up on Wikipedia. You could always try to find a copy of the Umbrella Archives.
"http://residentevilfan.com/"
is a pretty good site. They do not update as much as they used to, but they have some good stuff on there.
