Resident Evil 1

[Bandit127]

Playing it through on gamecube.

My question is, whats so hard about making games scary? This game lacks a fancy orchestra, it isn't powered by a game engine that can simultaneously produce life like physics, or real time shadows, or even a tenth of shading that Unreal3 or CryEngine2, or Dunia can.

But yet I hold on to every precious bullet I can get, a single walking zombie can very well stop me from progress, and I think twice about exploring new areas.

I love it. almost has me hooked as badly as FEAR and FEAR 2 did. Any suggestions on other horror games?

I don't have a game cube, but Dino Crisis for the PS1 is just like how you describe Res Evil. It's pretty much a Jurassic Park survival/horror game.

lol funny... I'm looking at my Dino Crisis cd case and on the front it says "Bonus! Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Demo Disk!" I didn't know they ported RE1 to the game cube.

Yep, redid all the graphics and added some goodies without ruining anything. the environment is just beautiful!

Re: Resident Evil 1

Well if you want to play a game that will scare the sh%^ out of you..then I recommend playing F.E.A.R. 1 or F.E.A.R. 2 .Its a first person shooter instead of third party view like any of the resident evils. But it was one sick freaky *** game. If you like resident evil 1 then your misiing out on 2! 2 is so much better and the graphics are way better too. But like with every game..new consoles have better graphics and such. Resident evil 4 is the newest one and its pretty sick too!

Re: Resident Evil 1

Resident Evil 4 is probably my all-time favorite game for PS2, they have it for gamecube as well, you would love it.

i agree with bibber, i love games like that which keep you on the edge of your seat and involved --- i miss the dorm days when i had time to play haha.

Re: Resident Evil 1

Actually I have Res Evil 5, and 4 never tickled my fancy. Also, I was a die hard FEAR fan for the longest time, and still am. I absolutely cannot wait for FEAR 3.

Dead Space looked gorgeous. I'll need to pick that up for PC.

BTW, I watched my older brother play Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 for years when I was little. So its not 'new' territory,

Also a Left 4 Dead fan, but theres so little reward to anything you do that it its doomed to failure. I know for Resident Evil that if you take the effort run circles around and slip by a zombie or two, you get rewarded with that much more precious ammo and health. And that's a very big reward. L4D and L4D2 it all just blurres into a single massive shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot fest with little thinking involved. Sad thing really, so much potential.

I used to mod Crysis, and now I'm thinking of going back to it just to recreate environments like this.

Re: Resident Evil 1

IMO resident evil has gone bad now, once they got away from the zombies i really didnt care for the games as much. im a zombie anything fan so anything less than what it was intended to be is just eh. RE 4 was pretty good but it never really had me feel like i was screwed if i wasted ammo or health.

Re: Resident Evil 1

The l4d games are just shoot-em-ups, not falling into the survival-horror genre. Singleplayer is weak but multiplayer can be hilarious fun, although it can be hard to find people who know what they're doing.

Re: Resident Evil 1

I completely agree vanbibber. Its just blah. Some "Oh S***" moments, but nothing more than that.

Heywood- I agree too, its also very hard to find a good team, and even harder to find a team to play against who won't rage quit or whine. I've been looking to see if the DLC and SDK have come out so I can try my hand at converting L4D into a RE style survival game.
