RE3make is so brisk. Felix a long while back describe it as āwish more games were this polished mediocre.ā Kind of feel the same. Feel like if I play tomorrow Iāll beat it and feel done with it.
The level design is worse.
Canāt get the dodge mechanic to work.
Nemesis keeps corner trapping me.
Then I get a message if I want to lower the difficulty after dying because I got stuck getting hit and then the animation ends and immediately get zombied.
The 3 crash bandicoot scenes so far are awful.
Itās still pretty good and hope I get 3 sessions out of it.

Wow. Really loads you up on ammo and never lets you go loose.
Annoyed after Village and this that I played the Rated Z Japanese versions and they were still heavily censored so no clue what the Z version even does.
noah is a treasure though and one of the only ones of these id let slide
I donāt think I liked the dodge. I feel like it replaced spacial awareness as the skill you have to learn to avoid getting trapped. Instead of focusing on enemy placement and routes you can take most of the emphasis gets placed on passing a timing/dexterity check.
Plus it probably hurts the level design. RE2R and RE4 both have pretty intricate layouts in their levels so players can dance around enemies. The dodge is the same in a hallway, in an open area, in a room with one path, with two paths. It doesnāt really change contextually.

caught up on the resident evil 2 remake, finishing the claire b scenario last night. playing the demo back when it came out i felt like this was one of those things extremely for me, but i guess something mustāve changed between now and then.
itās very competent, seems very well designed with pieces smoothly fitting together and gameplay mechanics giving very typical resident evil choices on monster handling. and yeah, for the most part it is very good. but also somehow not very memorable. like itās kinda lacking in personality?
itās like, a more competent line delivery and writing is not really as interesting as something funnier and more awkward? and the rest of the game is the visual or gameplay version of this difference. things are smoothed out and more palatable. weirdness removal. also the redesign of ivy is absolute bullshit.

Really loving this. Feels exactly like playing a 3d rendered cutscene. Like D in real-time.
o hell yea
It doesnāt help that thereās no music. They at least made Mr. X pretty goofy. But it is sad that thereās no room for giant spiders in this modern world of ours

oh yeah, i liked the small changes to his face. i actually think his new intense stare is a lot scarier than the previous blank eyes, and the intense wrinkles, like waves across his face is such a haunting look. these things arenāt super obvious while playing, but still appreciate it in close ups.
the spiders are definitely missed

This is maybe the hugest disregard of an original gameās design principles that Iāve ever seen a remaster exhibit, but it looks like a novel way to play RE4. Letting you move and shoot, and switch guns intuitively, have absolute accuracy and domination over all enemies everywhere is going to make this game stupidly trivial to play.

this is easily the funniest example of the āRecognizable Pop Song redone Intenselyā trailer trope iāve seen in a while
this kind of looks like what I wanted an RE movie to look like when i was younger (a SyFy channel-lookin mish mash of the first two REs) and i think iām down for it
