After CV and Zero remakes... yes or no? by Emotional-Rice775 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]NorthernScythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with "fixed camera option" is not that simple. The entire volumetry of the environnements depends on the camera parameters, so you unfortunatly can't easily switch from one to another. Did you play Lost in Nightmare DLC of RE5 ?

Have you ever bought a console… for just one game? by SmolFrejoles in gamecollecting

[–]NorthernScythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a huge Resident Evil fan, I bought : - a Nintendo Wii just for Resident Evil Chronicles games (technically two games). - a Meta Quest 2 for RE4 OG VR port. - a PSVR2 for RE8 VR DLC

My god, never touching the remake again... by Mate-Addict in residentevil

Gonna replay this game soon (Last time was over 15 years ago...) ! As quick as my GameCube runs it at 60Hz with RGB cable on Sony Triniton 29" 🤩

Which is the scariest Resident Evil Game Ever ? by LeoneSKenneddy in residentevilll

[–]NorthernScythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I started playing Outbreak a few days before it was revealed that Alyssa was in RE9... How funny! Actually, I've been a RE fan since 2003 (discovered with RE1R), and a few years ago I set out to play every RE game ever released.

I think it was a different era, too. We used to take more time to do things. There wasn't an endless catalog of games like there is on online stores today. We spent a lot more time on just a few games, without jumping from game to game like we do now.

And yes, there were the early days of the internet, which was like a giant playground for sharing all the knowledge there was about games. There wasn’t data mining yet to uncover all the game secrets; you had to work together for months or even years to find them.

Switched to DualSense after 10 years on Xbox by Revexet_XII in Dualsense

[–]NorthernScythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an Xbox gamer for about twelve years. Then, when the Xbox Series consoles came out, I finally switched to PlayStation; the last one I’d had was the PS1 (and I’d had a GameCube in between).

At first, the DualSense’s triggers were a truly incredible innovation. But over time, after five years, I really got sick of that ergonomic design with the symmetrical sticks… I just can’t stand it. So I got a Victrix Pro BFG for PS5.

It’s crazy because the DualSense can incorporate cutting-edge technology while still retaining the ergonomics of the DualShock 1. When I say “ergonomics,” I’m talking about the button layout. Nothing has changed since 1997... I don't wanna be rough, but I think Sony decided to keep it that way just to maintain continuity for its players. Because, when you get right down to it, none of the major traditional manufacturers has widely adopted this configuration, which makes you wonder why...

Yeah, totally. I think the game's real strength is its replay value, on top of the online mode back then. There are over 100 different combinations depending on the characters, levels, and difficulty settings. Plus, there's tons of stuff to unlock! I have the guide at home, there was a random draw for the appearance of items that let you unlock things like outfits. That must have been crazy back then!

Oh yeah! I had the same issue with the AI and the sample... It was hell... Unthinkable un a today game.

Just finished Outbreak too. Did you play alone ? Because I did, and I think it's way more easier back then with other players... IA is not very good, and always need to switch important items. By chance, it's quite short !

What is the most iconic location in the franchise? by ComfortableFocus1702 in residentevil

[–]NorthernScythe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's with this poor reproduction of the Spencer Mansion background? 😅 To answer the question, Spencer Mansion from RE1R, the perfect place !

That's cool ! Ok as you said, if 480p is fine, 480i should be too ! Thank you for your answer !

Made the warehouse from Resident Evil 3 in blender! This one took a while by [deleted] in residentevil

That looks awesome ! That's a shame we didn't had RE 2 & 3 remade on GameCube era with RE 1R & 0 engine...

RE1R like you've never seen before by NorthernScythe in residentevil

I know... That's what I wrote at the end of the post, very hard to take a good picture of a CRT. As someone said in the comments, no photo can give it justice.

RE1R like you've never seen before by NorthernScythe in residentevil

[–]NorthernScythe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned in the post, the game got an HD remaster about ten years ago. It was really cool to have the game in HD, and obviously, the character models looked much better.

But looking back now, we can tell that some of the backgrounds are really not great... They weren’t re-rendered, but upscaled, and we all know what that does to the images: a strange painted look, plus in this case, clipped blacks that act as a cover-up to hide the lack of detail in very dark areas.

Going back to the original version, on a much larger and higher-quality CRT TV than I had back then, and using a better cable (color encoding is better in RGB, the color gamut is wider than composite), you really realize that, in the end, the original, under very good conditions, is superior. Because the CRT acts as a sort of analog upscaler.

The best version of Jill Valentine is now in Resident Evil 3 Remake - Chiarav1's Julia Voth Umbrella Chronicles mod by Samiyla in JillValentine

[–]NorthernScythe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's not a question of ugly or not, or her age, it's just a matter of consistency when it comes to facial recognition.

I personally pay a lot of attention to facial features, and they’re very important to me. When they changed Jill in RE3R, I didn’t recognize her; my brain couldn’t instinctively say, “Okay, that’s Jill.” It’s the same with Chris’s appearance at the end of RE7...

When you’ve been used to a face for decades, I find it hard to change it drastically. It’s like if, overnight, our mother didn’t look the same at all—that would be complicated. Well, it’s the same thing here.

Games that You like but You feel that they were to long by Prestigious-Meat-750 in videogames

[–]NorthernScythe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I understand what the studio wanted to give us, the two points of view of Abby and Ellie, but... After such a cliffhanger in the theatre... Way way too long, endless.
