How did Resident Evil (2002) get away with destroying the visuals of the original game and casualizing the gameplay with defensive items and removing story choices?

I too love being a contrarian
Kill. Your. Self. Defense items are garbage and their inclusion fricked the design of the rest of the game. The pacing also got fricked too because the dumbass developers think that it is proper to pad the progression out for no fricking reason at all.
>Defense items are garbage and their inclusion fricked the design of the rest of the game
they're basically just herbs, lol
No they are not. Because of their inclusion, this garbage is in
>RNG zombie grabs
>Crimson heads
>Nerfed shotgun
RE0 has none of this crap, and has better gameplay design because the developers actually sat down and thought about how to make an experience. The DEmake devs were just told to add pointless content and moronic padded progression and just call it a day.
>muh RE0 is le bad!!!
I don't expect Resident Evil fans to have good taste. You are all subhumans in my eyes anyway. Kys bandwagoning pieces of shit.
>he didn't disable their automatic use and avoid picking them up
Read this moron. Just because I don't have to pick them doesn't mean they don't make the game worse.
By being really good. This idea that people reject change just to reject change is just an excuse made by people who make shitty remakes.
>MY CHILDHOOD REMAKE GOOD
>ALL MODERN REMAKES ARE BAD THO
ok moron
No, moron. Re1 remake was made by the same team that made original RE1. They wanted to improve on their creation with new technology.
It wasn't a soulless cashgrab capitalizing on the ignorance of uncultured swine, like your modern remake
>it wasnt soulless cause....uhhh.......BECAUSE IT WAS MY CHILDHOOD OK?!?!?!?!?!
nah its soulless
Wow, REmake looks fricking great compared to that fricking prerendered background lmao.
Both are prerendered backgrounds you ignoramus
Lighting from remake is incredible. Holy shit
Yeah in a soulless way
samegay
wasting your sunday making this trash contrarian thread
then being a homosexual cherry picking the comments you have enough brainpower to respond to
Here's your you, try and find some enjoyment in your life homosexual
Something that isnt conveyed through pictures is also sound design and the REmake absolutely outshines the original.
>remake
>not a soulless cashgrab capitalizing on the ignorance of uncultured swine
Uncultured swine detected.
it wasn't good though. meme shit like crimson heads went against the feel of RE1.
No.
>RE og
>Mansion has stark colors and contrasts.
>Everything about the mansion feels fake. It represents exactly what it is, a death trap.
>REmake
>Le spooky mansion.
>shit prerendered backgrounds
>LE SOUL
RE1 and RE4 nostalgiagays need to go frick off a cliff.
I take the bait. REmake also has pre-rendered backgrounds you homosexual.
Yes, but they’re not SHIT. And REmake is better detailed. Good day, sir.
they didn't have candle tech perfected for the original RE, simple as
Everything people b***h about in modern remakes started with this one. Even inserting excessive cursing where it didn't exist before, like the extremely cringe Keeper's Diary rewrite.
That's pretty normal swearing. You hear that or worse from average people on a normal day. Do you get what you know about speech patterns from localized JRPGs or something?
Because that was the visuals they wanted to do all along but the tech wasn't able to when they first released it on PS1.
No it wasn't. The visuals in RE1 are practically identical to the concept art.
Because it was fricking good. That's why.
>The remake "casualized" the game despite being harder than the original
What the frick did homosexual OP mean by this?
>has autoaim by default
>enemy HP, damage, and AI nerfed
>get out of jail free self defense items that don't even take up inventory space everywhere
>even gives you an upgraded combat shotgun
>"Harder than the original"
you're forgetting Real Survival mode, Invisible Enemy mode, and One Dangerous Zombie. I get that those aren't default options but they make the game way harder than any version of RE1, so the upper limits difficulty of REmake are much higher than RE1
People like to criticize REmake while forgetting that it added a ton of unique content.
All the same as self-imposed challenges that you can create while playing the original, save for the moronic Invisible Enemy Mode that doesn't even make any sense in a videogame like Resident Evil (like what the frick? there's a lot of emphasis on action, why make it a memorization puzzle stealth game? just play time attack if that's your thing).
how would one do a One Dangerous Zombie self imposed challenge? you do realize the zombie is a unique enemy that appears in specific spots and has unique behavior? how would one do a Real Survivail playthrough without memorizing where each individual item was and only grabbing items that correspond with that item box? it's doable but completely impractical
> just play time attack if that's your thing
yeah you can do that too, but it's nice that they included other options. RE1 did not include these options so I like to give REmake credit where credit is due.
>autoaim
present in the JP version of the original and thus part of the intended game design
Because most of them were improvements. The modern RE remakes are also great and I really enjoy them, but they are not "good remakes" because they don't supplant or improve on the original(other than maybe RE4, haven't played it).
Like if I'm in the mood to play RE2, I'm not gonna boot up the remake since it's an entirely different game that shares litter with the originals gameplay. On the other hand, if I'm in to mood to play RE1, I'll probably just boot up RE:Remake. A good remake is one that won't make you want to pick up the original.
I will probably never go bad to the original RE, Diablo 2,Pro Skater, Halo: CE, AoE2. But I will go back and replay play RE2-3-4, FFVII, MGS1. Even if I enjoy the remake.
>I will probably never go bad to the original RE, Diablo 2,Pro Skater, Halo: CE, AoE2.
Maybe you should. They may be rough but they are still very playable and fun. tbh I'm surprised anyone would list Diablo 2 among, unless you mean to say Resurrected is a remake but it's more of just a reskin than a remake unlike Resident Evil
>They may be rough but they are still very playable and fun
They are, but they also don't offer much over the remake. If I really want some nostalgia I might play the original, but overall 9/10 times I'm gonna play the remake.
>Resurrected is a remake but it's more of just a reskin than a remake
I guess, but that's the best way to do a remake/remastered edition IMO. Again, I really like the RE2 remake, but at the same time it's existence is pointless and would have much preferred a game with a fresh story rather than a weird amnesiac retelling of the original.
No.
>I really like the RE2 remake, but at the same time it's existence is pointless
Hey buddy, at least RE2make's existence isn't as fricking pointless as RE4make, which actually IS an objectively inferior version of the original. The worst part is there was nothing that could be done to save RE4make either, the only to fix that game is for it to not exist in the first place. All the time and dev money that went towards deserved to go to literally any other game. RE2make gives a valid reason to exist and it shows in its quality (even if the scenario mechanic is less fleshed out) while re4make was always clearly intended to be a toxic woke replacement.
Resident Evil 4 Remake shits all over the original for the simple reason that it's actually survival horror.
"No."
I grew up with RE and RE4make is better than the og. Og is easy af, even at pro.
>RE4make is better
Okay, but how is the modding scene?
Define "modding".
Alternate models based on disturbingly specific fetishes.
REmake is worse in literally every conceivable way except graphical fidelity you absolute minge. I personally can’t stand the REmake and play the original constantly.
The Crimson Heads was a great concept and genuinely innovative for its time and that is something that you cannot deny.
REmake is much harder than original RE1
Maybe at the very beginning but it gets much, much easier as the game progresses. Hunters are pathetic compared to their original counterparts and they cut their numbers way back, plus gave you a shortcut to avoid most of their spawn points anyway. Not to mention you get the magnum long before they ever show up.
Very debatable honestly.
Bullshit. Hunters are way easier to defeat in Remake, they don't have any i-frames that make deadly if you're pushing caution and miss a shot.
don't care. both games have the flaw of trial and error repetitive slogs
Everybody liked the Lisa Trevor subplot but looking back, it really was just filler.
it was something they intended for the original but cut because it gave away the twist too early. It would have been hard to properly integrate it into the basic structure without completely changing the structure so instead it feels a little bolted on
Remake is not bad, but frankly playing biohazard on original hardware was more engrossing
Grifters and e-trash like the Sphere Hunter kept perpetuating the lie so Black folk who very obviously never played either believed them
that's weird because I remember when the game released and people loved it. I don't remember any grifters or e-celebs back in 2002.
so your original point is that they make the game too easy but avoiding using them causes the game to be too hard or "unbalanced" because you are expected to use them
pick a lane scrub, you are revealing your power level and it's laughable.
Read again Black person. You didn't understand shit. I'm saying that because they are in the game, that garbage that I listed is justified by their inclusion. I said nothing about easy or hard or any shit like that. DEmake Black folk once again proving that they are subhuman sheep. I hope you have a bad day anon.
you have no idea what you're talking about. it's embarrassing. leave this thread and never play this series again. I'm sure there are dozens of threads filled with subhumans for you to disparage that would better utilize your attention.
No, your just mad that not everyone is blindly worshipping DEmake and calling it out rightly for the overrated game that it is. You're a total classicgay or a zoomer whose favorite troony YouTuber called it the "pinnacle of survival horror" or some shit like that. Either one is a stain on the Resident Evil fanbase.
>that's weird because I remember when the game released and people loved it
that's why it sold millions right? oh wait
The mansion looks better in the original. Way more color, the green and red hallways have this otherworldy theme while the remake is mostly browns and greys, no imagination is behind the remake's art style.
the remake is one of the best looking games ever. it's an audiovisual masterpiece
>destroying the visuals of the original game
>240p
Yes lower resolution makes a horror game more scary
moron posting
overrated series with 1 good game (RE4) and one almost good but deceptively simple and shallow game (RE1)
for me it's the thinking man's RE1
>capcom thought they can top the original design of Jill
>casualizing
Invisible mode is harder than anything in the original game, also it’s much more detailed
I remember when REmake was pretty much universally loved here, now it’s shit on by contrarians constantly. I hate this board, I wish i could leave
You can talk about the gameplay mechanics but the defensive feature is pretty good (especially since they added Crimson Heads) and the visuals are automatically better and there’s zero argument about this. It did so good, it relaunched Zero from an abandoned project to a GC game.
Had the cutest version of Jill.
She triggers my AGP
The mansion is supposed to be a front hiding the laboratory and the original game shows that best. The mansion is largely empty with just a few people living there such as the kennel keeper.
The remake is way over designed.
So the remake had too much but the OG with rugs, carpets, ornate decorations, and overall tacky shit all over the place was not? Do nostalgiagays even try to make an argument anymore or is it just “new = bad”?
low effort bait
Hot take: both are excellent and you should just play and enjoy both
centrists get the rope
Piss off with your autism, they’re both excellent games though REmake is slightly better
Controversial opinion, I never loved RE Remake 1. I always thought the original was better.
All the changes to the game design were worse IMHO. Just made the game feel padded out, more tedious inventory management (now have to drag a canister and keroseen around at all times to burn bodies, so two more slots gone), just a drag.
Both are good, why has this become an issue recently to b***h about it being remade? It wasn’t an issue when it was released or even a decade ago
some gay has been making these threads since at least I woke up this morning
>casualized
You can beat the original in 45 minutes (my best time was 54 min.) RE1 is not a hard game at all.
He honestly thinks that RE is somehow difficult and that because you can use small knives or bombs like an additional FEATURE is somehow taking away the “challenge” lmao.
>ITS NOT HARD CAUSE I REPLAYED IT AND KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS!!
moron
But the game is not hard until the Hunters show up and by then you already have so much shotgun ammo that it’s pretty much a non issue after a single firefight. By the time you get to the Tyrant, you got a magnum full of ammo. Lol.
That's the only thing i actually dislike about the REmake. The OG mansion was rather well lit and well maintained modern architecture, like what they did in the 60s when they tried to design old mansions with a modern influence, while the REmake mansion is like a dilapidated victorian mansion.
because people didnt play games as a substitute for real life accomplishments at that point and only cared about their enjoyment and experience, so things like streamlining and improving controls were seen favorably instead of an attack on hardcore gamers
Are people being contrarians about REmake now? Holy shit, I'm out of the loop.
>destroying
it was made by the same exact director, dumbass
So? A director can still frick up like any other human
