It's a Catch-22 situation.

People complain how they're sick of remakes and remaster's yet often any change is criticised. On the extreme end, I know a fellow who gave the FF7 Remake a 0/10 because they dared to make even the slightest deviations to the sacred cow that was the original's story and felt he deserved a refund because he had been sold "a different game" as a result. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Changes for the better are welcomed by most, but dropping a lot of things or straying too far from the original changes it from a remake and puts it into reboot territory.

That remains to be seen in this remake, graphics aside the gameplay looks very different and clunky to me which is offputting.The rest is a non issue.

The first remake of RE was not much different from the original, so it was lauded for being better in terms of everything you could take note on.

Compared to the original game, there was only minor changes, but you barely notice them. But Capcom's remakes from 2019 to now are way different. They are probably not what some fans expected. I think people were hoping RE2 would turn out like RE1 from the GameCube era, where things are the same, but with the nice graphical touch the 2002 remake received.

The same can be said for SH2. They're changing the feel, etc.

They tried to remaster them back in 2012. The HD collection on the Xbox 360 had various glitches, or they didn't include the coding for the fog effects.

For copyright reasons, SH3 had to be released with new voices, but SH2 had the option of selecting re-recorded vocals by a new cast (including Troy Baker as James), or the work of the original actors could be chosen.

It seems the previous reply got deleted by who posted it.

RE1 (1996) is supposedly getting released again, so who knows? I don't think a PS2 costs much anyway, but the actual games fetch up to steep prices online. Even in high street stores such as ones like CeX, expect to pay a lot if you find any used copies.

The people looks too realistic damn it. Its way too off putting. Konami could make a movie instead of this game. Jeez.

EDIT: Its a shame really. The graphics looks great but I wont go near it.

For some reason, I began to appreciate Konami somewhat more than Capcom, as while some SH games have been poorly received, yeah, they haven't deviated away from being survival horror.

RE always seems to jump from being horror to action, and repeatedly unable to keep to being the one genre. The one it is supposed to be.

Like when RE7 got a decent reaction thanks in no small part to VR, Capcom got this daft idea to take RE8 into boni-fide RE4 territory again, with some crazy explanation that 7 was considered by players to be too creepy. But I just didn't get that.

People moaned for years that RE had nothing scary left due to 4, 5 and 6. Then they get what they want, and they seemingly hate that. Or maybe Capcom was just making that up. It seems silly to go back to the roots, then say you are going back on your word.

Stick to your guns, is all I am trying to say. Because RE8 was one corny experience. ‍

Here's hoping we will be provided with an update on the other games soon. Nearly three quarters of a year later in 2024 and we ain't heard squat yet about Townfall, etc.

Some fan games can look better than the real deal.

REborn was amazing. But it is one of these things that I guess is quite illegal. :D

Yeah, I heard about that too. But I really have started to wonder why there has been a lack of news on the other games they showcased in October of 2022.

I remember as 2023 was coming to an end, the makers of Townfall said an update would be provided this year. Yet so far, there hasn't been anything.

We wanna be excited for a new non remake game, but a little vague trailer then radio silence (no pun intended, for the radio you find) for 2 whole years, cannot do much for anybody.

Usually, they are referenced. But I think they're more indirect than visible most of the time.

Speaking of things that aren't visible, a couple days ago was the 10th anniversary of the P.T demo.

Happy anniversary to a game that never saw the light of day, thanks Konami.
