is it too hot of a take to suggest that 7 and the remake of 2 are, together, easily the best resident evil games since 2002
this is like… a way better version of 2 and 4 combined

I can’t say it’s stronger than 4 till I play it through a few times
But I’m with that near-burning jacuzzi take.
i seriously didnt recognize it as a hamburger for like 5 fucking seconds because its such a disgusting model. thank you capcom!!
you’re riding that crazy train and you love it
I’m having a great time with 2 but I think it’s indulgent fun
I actually just never liked resident evil that much after the first one until now, I felt like it always did a very poor job of justifying its mechanical limitations and 4 seemed way more overindulgent to me than this
I felt like I’d have gotten more shit for saying “since 1996” but that is what is in my heart

to me, I saw RE4 open doors in 3rd-person action games and shooters and try on/excel at a few iconic scenes using this template. Oh, we can do this now with games! I thought
Maybe we’ve got different touchpoints for 3D action, or shooters, around this time?

thank you to capcom for acknowledging me, the only person who thinks the outbreak games were like 10 years ahead of their time, by having multiple references to the desperate times scenario in the re2 remake

finished my first playthrough (claire a hardcore)
it’s really good, but until they patch in suplexes it will not surpass re 4

The hamburger—a playful gross-out gag, meant to encourage the player to gag—gives an early hint of the game’s major preoccupation with the possibilities inherent to modern technology. A seemingly throwaway opening joke, it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come, at least fidelity-wise, since the original Resident Evil 2 came out in 1998. Now, with a PlayStation 4 blasting its fan in an attempt to keep up, Capcom can show anything it wants, whether burger, zombie guts, or dripping sewer systems, in nearly lifelike detail.

That hamburger still looks better than the one I ate at the truck stop on the way home from the Oz SB meetup

how come they never made another outbreak game anyway
The full game on PC is giving me the exact same problems as the demo did. Spent 30 minutes turning different graphics settings on and off and the game is still freezing and stuttering. My computer is more powerful than a PS4 and should be able to handle this. I’m just gonna return the game and play it on PS4.
I was prepared to be disappointed in the PS4 performance with the frame rate living in the 35-55 range but in practice it feels mostly fine

Cannot play a game where headshots are important without a mouse, period
I will buy this. And play it. Someday~~

I’m playing with a controller on PC just for the added difficulty and tension. As a console veteran, it’s surprisingly doable with aim assist off, and the game seems to reward taking time to aim because if you don’t move or shoot for a second while aiming the reticle zeroes in and I have an unconfirmed hunch this causes crit damage more often. Really not sure though.

waiting until the reticle zeroes definitely causes you to do more damage. ive definitely decapitated or knocked down zombies with headshots a lot faster this way. that being said the real pro strategy is to shoot the fuckers in the knees and run past
I am real worried the Japanese version is having the Biohazard 4 problem that they turned off locational damage entirely.
I kept shooting that first zombie on the stairs to see if it would trip or fall and nothing.
