I'll be trying it after the price drops.
My goal is to own and play every Survival Horror game ever made
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
When the price drop? What is his price in USA? In Spain (in USD) are only aprox 25 $
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
49.99 $ it seems according to EBgames.
That's true enough, I suppose. I still think there wasn't anything special with the first one, though. Just another run-of-the-mill action movie, I say.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I tend to agree.
But it didn't screw the series like the second one did, so I can just enjoy it for what it is.
The second one though... totally unforgivable
It would have sucked even if I wasn't an RE fan
If only for the "I know Kung Fu" scene
Hey, no need to thank me! I am a games reviewer, that's what I do
..but I must admit I was a little worried after recommending it to you and then giving it 7.4/10..
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
7.4 would be a fair review
It was their first attempt after all, and it had flaws.
I've heard it compared to Resident Evil 4 alot
Shame, RE4 isn't a survival horror game... I have a feeling the genre might be drying up
well at least Hydravision will be making Obscure 2
BTW: Thanks again mkreku for suggesting that game to me :D It's now one of my alltime favs :D
Different kinds of horror.
Someone on the gamefaqs boards used a good description.
Resident Evil is more Survival Horror
Silent Hill is more Survival Horror
RE tends to focus more on the survival aspects where Silent Hill (The first one is a classic) is more horror.
No, it was given the "X" so it didn't conflict with the "exclusive" Dreamcast Version.
Dreamcast got Resident Evil: Code Veronica
PC (I think), Gamecube and PS2 got Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
Survival Horror games are horror games where combat, ammo management, health management and save management come into play.
Pure Horror games usually lack those elements. (Example: Haunting Ground... while it is Horror, it's "survival aspect" is about the same as a super mario game)
Examples of Survival Horror:
Resident Evil (Zero, REmake, 2,3,CVX)
Silent Hill (1,2,3,4)
ObsCure
Eternal Darkness
Alone in the Dark
The Thing
Extermination
Examples of Horror:
Clock Tower
Haunting Ground
Fatal Frame.
What are you babbling about?
90% of the "fanpeople" jumped from Sony to Nintendo when the series became exclusive.
Sadly "most" of the people who love RE4 (and are hyping it) are the Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid crowd <_<
RE4 is a fun game, but has seriously hurt the Survival Horror aspect of the series.
