      It filters all the normalgays. It is the only game in the series that actually lives up to the "survival" aspect of survival horror. It is the best designed of all the fixed camera games along with RE3.

        What's weird is how consistent and strong of a filter RE0 is. When RE4 came out people complained that game was way too easy in comparison. I think all of the item box complaints are a cope.

    Worst classic-style RE by far.
    Fundamentally tedious because of how items work. No item boxes, you have to constantly drop and pick up shit. The cherry on top is that each room has an item limit (which often makes no sense) so you have to spread shit across separate rooms and waste a ton of time.
    Character swapping was tiresome and half-assed (e.g. Billy is the only character in the franchise who can't combine herbs because they needed to make Rebecca useful).
    Story is awful and retroactively makes RE1 and RE2 worse. Made Wesker and Birkin worse characters, ruined the lore with the moronic singing anime slug man, doesn't make sense continuity-wise to RE1, Billy and Rebecca are boring, etc.
    Some of the worst enemies and bosses in the series. The bat being arguably the worst ever.
    The train backgrounds look nice and that's about it.

    Just look at this shit:

    Code Veronica and RE0 pushed Resident Evil away from the Cronenberg B-movie biological horror of the PS1 trilogy and towards dumb anime bullshit.

    It's not surprising that Mikami tried to reset the plot with RE4, albeit while being moronic in its own way (but more fun). Then of course RE5 reversed course and brought all the Code Veronica bullshit back.

        It was absolutely not less moronic, Uroboros was nonsensical anime transformation bullshit (like Code Veronica), Wesker was an Agent Smith wannabe, and they assassinated Jill's character. They're both dumb but RE4 is dumb in a self-contained way and RE5 is dumb in a "nearly destroyed the franchise" way. Only thing that makes

        >Code Veronica and RE0 pushed Resident Evil away from the Cronenberg B-movie biological horror of the PS1 trilogy and towards dumb anime bullshit.
        Lmao, RE2 and 3 weren't that?

        Compare the villains in RE2 and RE3 with CV and RE0.
        RE2: Birkin injects himself with a virus and slowly transforms him into a horrific monster, each new form less human than the last until there's nothing of him left.
        RE3: Nemesis is a more advanced version of the Tyrant from RE1, granted some intelligence from an injected parasite. However as he keeps losing to Jill, he becomes less and less contained until he devolves into a monstrosity.
        CV: Alexia is a perfect Aryan goddess who has been sleeping in a vat for decades until she suddenly wakes up, she can transform into an anime monster on the spot and summon giant vines from literally miles away.
        RE0: Markus is an anime pretty boy who can control leeches by singing.

          *Only thing that makes RE5 less moronic in hindsight is that RE6 was next-level dumb. From "nearly to destroyed the franchise" to outright "destroyed the franchise" leading to a soft reboot.

      Funny thing about that is that a lot of them are discarded shit from other games. Mostly RE1. I've seen concept art for the centipede, the frogs, the leeches, something very similar to the plague crawlers, and one of the designers talks about scrapping a giant scorpion enemy in a behind the scenes feature. The monkeys are arguably repurposed from the 1.5 ape enemies but that one's a little shaky.

    I honestly love it, but thats because I love Rebecca and Billy, that said it has genuine problems. I don't care much about the item box issue, but I fricking despise the grappling hook and how much you need to use it. The bat fight fricking sucks ass too, but apparently you can kinda cheese it by going in and out of that side room in the church to reset his positioning. Also the Prototype Tyrant came out of nowhere and seemed forced. But it's a fun game, and when I replay it I always know to bring molotov wienertails to the areas with the leech men so they're not nearly as annoying as they used to be. Monkeys aren't an issue either, I know people hate them but you're only forced to fight them as Rebecca when you get pushed into the other room, you can juke all other instances, although the ones on the outside of the observatory area are a PITA to avoid so its usually easier to kill those too

    Basically just made to use Rebecca's character more and take advantage of the N64's cartridge making character swapping a possibility. But then the development ran late and Capcom signed their exclusivity deal with Nintendo, so it got ported to the Gamecube off the back of REmake.

    The problem is that Rebecca is just not interesting as a character and this game's plot doesn't explore her in any way. The train is a good idea for a level and the narrow, isolated rooms makes the two player swap mechanic justified. But it doesn't make sense to stay there the whole time, so the game ACKCHUALLY takes place in a second Spencer mansion (?) and the labs from RE2 (???). The item management is tedious and the player swap mechanic is not capitalized upon as much as it should. The main bad guy is stupid and his contributions to Oswald Spencer/Umbrella as a whole are not compelling. Play until the end of the train section, watch the rest of the cutscenes on YouTube or something, then move on with however you play these games.

    RE0 and RE:CV proved that the series had no idea what to do with itself when removed from the first game or Racoon City. RE4 was self-contained and fun enough to where it didn't have to continue anything (akin the MGS3, I guess), and while RE5 could be fun in co-op, it and 6 nearly killed the series when trying to tie it back into the previous entries. It wasn't until the recent series of games on the RE engine that have rejuvenated the series, but three-quarters of them were remakes. Maybe Capcom will move onto RE:IX, but Village went right back to making the plot stupid while trying to build off of VII, so who knows.

        This was when Capcom and a bunch of other studios required their games to sell like three million copies in the first few weeks to be considered successful, so the plot stupidity and high expectations set up RE6 to fail. Granted, like I mentioned and

        My first playthrough of RE5 was solo and I really didn't like it, but I replayed it with my friends and my ex on multiple different occasions and had a blast, turning on Friendly Fire and going Infinite RL + Stun Batons only is hilarious.

        said, the game is fun in co-op and I sounded more harsh than I meant.

          That sounds more like 6's production issues than RE5. RE5 just tells us that the bow stuff is now a global phenomenon like how terrorism was in the mid-2000s.

            COD and Halo and a lot of the other golden children of the 7th generation deluded a lot of formerly major 3rd party publishers into thinking they could make CODbux if they target that crowd.

            The problem was that the casual-hardcore mix crowd had a bad habit of buying maybe six games for their Xbox or PS3 and just stopping. This goes on to this day, where some kid in middle school who gets an Xbox One buys six or seven games (GTA V, Minecraft, Fifa/Madden/The Show, some racing game, Siege, Fortnite/PUBG, a COD/Halo, and maybe one other odd game they happened to get at Easter) and then stops. Publishers learned back in 2015/2016 to stop chasing that crowd, and budgets began to normalize until the graphics race went nuclear and companies started releasing flopbusters on the regular.

    It's one of my favorites and I don't understand the hate for it.

    I replay it often alongside 1 and 2. Most of the issues people have with it, only seem like minor flaws to me (item storage and backtracking, the hookshot, underwhelming story or lore stuff... who cares?).

    RE1make is my favorite in the series, and this one is the closest to it. I adore the level design structure of multi-layered interconnected mansion, the gothic atmosphere, exploration with limited ammo, inventory management and nonsensical puzzles. The co-op system puts more focus on item management and puzzle, which I like, even if it's nothing mind-blowing. That's what "survival horror" means to me. It unapologetic "more of the same", and I'm glad because RE1 formula is perfect but the games are so short.

    Those pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed angles are gorgeous and with REmake, both the peak and swan song of this style. Every screen is dripping with atmosphere. It saddens me that they perfected it with these two titles then abandoned it. I truly don't understand how people can claim to rate RE1 so high while shitting on 0.

              The bat boss sucks because of his little minions flying around. Get rid of those and maybe widen his hitbox and it would be fine, just kind of boring. All those boss fights in RE0 are boring except Tyrant but like I said earlier in the thread Tyrant feels to come out of nowhere and was put in just because "we need a Tyrant in our RE game."
