Everything is so fast and fluid in the RE6 remaster. It's glorious. :-O

Outbreak scales really well in PCSX2. About the biggest complaint (graphically), would be some low res floors and walls here and there that stick out (mainly in cutscenes). Though considering if Umbrella Chronicles is any indication, they have the source files for Outbreak. So it'll be interesting if they ever do decide to rerelease it, if they touch it up much like they did RE0.
Some runs for Mercenaries No Mercy, all on Requiem for War:
Sherry: 2,097,000+ (300 max combo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_F_6z-al5Q
Leon: 2,071,000+ (300 max combo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqOnsd_zIg
Helena: 2,068,000+ (300 max combo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWGr9zZxFso
Pretty sure I have the optimal route figured out for the time bonuses at the start.
No counter spamming. I do it the old-fashioned way!

So this is the stuff the RE anniversary merch store has.
Can't say i'll be buying anything personally, it's all rather expensive and really doesn't interest me. Especially the shirt's and hoodie's, which look like you could make them yourself.

Damn right!
That's why I'm not really bothered by the fact that the guy/Ethan starts out allegedly as an "average Joe". He's gonna end up a designated BAMF by the end of his adventure.

Or maybe he ends up dead.
We've yet to have a main main character die. Why not introduce and kill him in the same game. RE loves switching up protagonists anyway.

Taking a vicious, grotesque monster and attempting to make it cute... I struggle to see who this sort of thing appeals to.
I love that RE1 shirt though.
I love it :3

Honestly Capcom may have been really smart to do all of these re-releases recently. Thanks to the RE4/5/6 Remasters, REmake & Zero HD, and REmake HD being on PS Plus this month, I've been seeing a lot of people even here on GAF saying they played their first RE game ever and they absolutely loved it (as well as some people who haven't played the series in ages, like not since the originals, and loved it). I imagine there's more people like that even off of GAF. and if they can get a lot more people interested in the series that does well with Resident Evil 7 quickly approaching release.
Then of course Resident Evil 7 releases in the same week as the newest live-action film, so there's that.

Nah, a mystery character is only interesting when you think there is an actual mystery to be answered.
With Ada there clearly isn't. She is mysterious because the writers want her to be and that is it, which makes her no mystery at all.
The only time she was a good character was in RE2, and if really want to stetch it her RE3 epilogue where she says goodbye to 'Ada'. Then RE4 brought her back and stupidly still called her Ada Wong which was completely against the point of her RE2/3 character.
WTF happened to this:
A woman looks at herself in the mirror. She used to be called Ada Wong. But this morning she will say good-bye to the name. "I'm not Ada Wong anymore..." She feels her ab and thinks, "This is Ada's scar, not mine." As she says good-bye to Ada Wong, she can't stop her tears. However, there isn't much time left before her next mission...
I agree, that's my big complain about RE4. The RE3 epilogue made you believe "Ada Wong" was only a role the spy was playing and now she regrets that she has to abandon it, abandon her relationship with Leon. And yet, in RE4 and forward, she's still Ada Wong.
It's even more ridiculous in Damnation, where she introduces herself as a representative of BSAA and yet she still uses her real name: Ada Wong. No wonder the president managed to do a quick background check on her and call her bullshit.
Ada Wong, the worst spy ever.

You know, in the end, the final monster has to be blown up by a rocket launcher. >=)

This talk is really reminding me of that old ShadowLeggy Ada Wong video thing.
Me! Lickers are my favourite RE monster, I'd love one of these plushies.
Wesker got it so hard. Double rocket decapitation while being melted.

Is there a link to this?
Y'know, considering the other works on the writer's resume, I wouldn't put it past to him have at least one ending where the guy fails and/or dies.
Or maybe the guy will turn into another supersoldier/BOW of some sort, and that's how this guy will make his mark in the universe.

Off and on, I just think about the ways that they could make Ethan "endearing", "memorable" and possibly even "unique" among those who came before him. In a certified world of badass that is RE, he's got his work cut out for him.
He's not an established character that has their following, like Chris or Leon. As of now, it looks like he's not an "heir to a legacy" like Jake, son of Wesker. We likely can't even use fashion sense as a barometer, because we'll be spending most of our time with Ethan by seeing the world through his eyes.
So with that much in mind, my thoughts drift to how well they can sell the character through his actions and animations. Giving the first person perspective (and focus on VR), that likely sets a limit to what kind of actions he could do. And shooting guns, as cool and satisfying as they are in this series, wouldn't offer anything new that would help seperate Ethan from his peers.
I can't help but think that picture we saw of a character with a wrist that looked "sewn up" was a hint that Ethan may or may not retain his humanity by the end of his adventure...
Bringing up REmake again, but am I the only one who thinks that "You viral cultured freak!" is the "best" line in the whole game?
Honestly I kinda missed the original's camp.
Don't open. That door!
Haha, yeah. I was really hoping for more cheezy lines too. But "You viral cultured freak!" had me laughing out loud. The unnecessary complexity and the way the line was delivered was hilarious.

Does anybody know if there's a collection of all the backdrops to the pre-rendered RE games somewhere? Talking RE1-3 + REmake and RE Zero.
Surely somebody has managed to extract them all!

I'd also love this, especially extractions of REmake and RE Zero.

They're out there and easy to find if you google it, there's also an extractor for the backgrounds to REmake.
Playing RE4 on PS4. I didn't think I'd replay it so soon, since I already replayed it earlier this year on PS3. (And of course I've played it on GCN and Wii countless times, as well as PC.) I wouldn't be surprised if there are differences, but the PS4 version looks just like I remember, only with a silky smooth 60 fps framerate. The rifle reload animation chugs a bit (appears to still be 30 fps, just for that animation), but it's no big deal. This is a really nice remaster, all things considered. Switch to the Type 3 controls if you want to control it the way you did back on GCN.

I was wondering about this for awhile too. I guess the PS4 version really is a straight port of the PC version.

The game is even better with 60fps, but the rifle loading animation is pretty baffling. I don't think it reaches 30fps, actually. The PS3 version still ran at 30 fps and the loading animation wasn't nearly as choppy.
You think so? Or did you just not notice because the rest of the game was 30 fps too?

All 3 of the ports are. Though RE5 lucked out with that bonus mercs mode. It's why the RE6 port is the best of the lot, since Qloc did an amazing port job.
Give dragons dogma ever comes to PS4 and Xbox One it'll be fantastic. Since they did the port for that as well.
Resident Evil 4 irrevocably fucked up the Resident Evil story. From the characters to fucking economics taking down Umbrella. If they ever need to reboot Resident Evil, do it from post-RE3/CV and pretend 4 never happened.

As much as I love RE4 they really did fuck up there with that. I wanted a game where you participated in the take down of Umbrella and retained the character growth.

It's pretty obvious Osmund Saddler was originally going to be Ozwell Spencer but Mikami was like 'nah fuck it let's focus on making this actually entertaining.'
ResidentDante

Totally agree.
I thought the final mission in Umbrella Chronicles was them taking down the "last" major remnant of Umbrella, what with that facility being the only operationallow one left and TALOS being the end-all super weapon.
You have to wonder how Umbrella thought that they were gonna sell half of these super weapons when they're regularly defeated by 1-2 people. Them again, Leon and Claire's zombie kill count probably eclipsed the entirety of the RCPD in RE2...

I think so but I mean while the story was happening instead of a timeskip, boot up RE4 all the sudden
"Umbrella's stocks crashed" the end. I think it's pretty funny how they totally glossed over its downfall at the time and that retcon on the destruction of Raccoon City.
Wasn't RE3 the original wrench in the canon and it wasn't meant to be RE3 as we know it and that was for CV? if that's accurate then RE4 isn't totally at fault.
Yeah Resident Evil development was weird. Wasn't RE4 Devil May Cry at some point?

Devil may cry and RE are the same universe.

It may not have been satisfying, but the way in which Umbrella went down made perfect sense to me. At the end of the day, they were a company, and once all their dirty secrets came out, their stock holders turning on them while being under multiple investigations seemed pretty logical. I can see why some didn't like it, though.

Knowing Capcom, I believe this.
It makes sense logically because as you put it it was a company, it just felt very anticlimactic.
It has been alluded in 3 and basically flat out told in CV that the protagonists were going to take the company head on.
Personally, I find it a bit of a pet peeve with the story but it didn't affect my enjoyment of what came with 4 and afterwards.
