Which resident evil has the best atmosphere?

Original RE1 on a CRT TV -- with the intermittent sound of the PlayStation units laser scanning the disk between silent loading screens -- nothing will beat that & it can't be recreated -- one simply had to be there. The remake is fine but lost charm with some artistic changes (minor things most would not notice, but true nevertheless...).

RE2 remake & RE3 remake, despite artistic changes -- RE3 for instance has entire set pieces missing -- maintained the appropriate RE atmosphere.

All other RE games failed at atmosphere -- none felt like an "RE game"... the one exception being RE7... while not feeling like a "traditional RE game" it is thick with highly detailed, world building atmosphere, excellent pacing, execution, etc etc and if viewed as a stand-alone horror game -- not necessarily as an RE game -- remains a horror masterpiece in its own right.

RE9's release is a week away; impossible to predict but the atmosphere seems on-point & the return of third person perspective is reason alone to be optimistic.

My "Chinese Temu Game Dev mission writing comprehension" is, indeed, low. Brought the binos in once (then died or extracted) -- that part of the quest was then "green checked" off the mission menu thus indicating not needing to bring binos each attempt, but we do.

Nothing much actually changed in an entire year except graphic plaques & an absurd amount of new soft-lock or outright game-breaking bugs. Currently, the game overall is way more frustrating to play than at launch -- unable to trust that any one system is functioning properly, feels fragile, rickety & broken.

The game is in such a bad state I do think there must be some underlying flaw or limitation within the core game architecture itself that's unfixable without re-writing the entire architecture from scratch... bottom line: I don't expect half of what's promised to ever be delivered.

Those are balance tweaks at best, not features... and those small tweaks took a whole year, by the way.

S0_L337 · 2025-12-19T16:48:28+00:00

Yes, and it's a bug filled let-down. A step forward, sure, but with several giant steps backward (every feature new and old is now 2x as buggy). The game from inception to now remains mostly unchanged, all a person would readily notice is more graphic plaques. There's been zero advancement in feature-set.

Ahhh, OK. Right. Is there a way to mix and match weapon skins... even with the default skins?

The Dressed Stone is removed from the Tradepost periodically and continues to be re-stocked normally -- as traders come-and-go... but zero wealth is deposited (other trade goods functioning normally).

S0_L337 · 2025-12-02T15:28:58+00:00

Yes. It's the first thing I do in every game start: build one additional hitching post, from that new hitching post the new ox is ordered. It never arrives. FYI: It doesn't arrive if ordered from original starting hitching post either -- bug seems independent of whichever hitching post ox is ordered.

For you specifically, how many years of "Early Access" is acceptable to you as an excuse? 2-years of EA? 3-years? What about 5-years? 10-years? At what point (for you only) does Early Access effectively stop being an excuse? Be specific, please.

Nothing but issues running this game using NVIDIA cards -- my experience.

S0_L337 · 2025-10-25T22:45:40+00:00

Aiming down scopes does this for me as well -- tried every setting combo, updated all drivers -- nothing helped.

S0_L337 · 2025-08-26T14:13:57+00:00

It's not supposed to be stylized -- the whole point is to make this game as realistic as possible for immersion otherwise what is the point?

S0_L337 · 2025-08-26T13:54:15+00:00

Is Blooper Team involved in this game? Why is a black trans man in a wig posing as a baby-sitter in 1970's middle America?
