Sure I played Resident Evil. It's my third all-time favorite PS games. I actually played RE2 first. then RE1 & RE3. When Code Veronica came out, I always felt it should be 4.
With the actual RE4 came out, I felt it was too radical change from the series. I longed for the 'Old' Zombies we always had so much fun with, because they were, well...Funny. The new-style 'Infected' creatures didn't quite cut it for me, and I missed having the 'save trunks' for my stuff. But, RE4 was a good game, I probably played it through some 30 times. Still, I missed the old RE way of doing things.
I don't have a PS3 yet....I'm waiting for the price to plummet even farther. If a Manhunt 3 or Bully 2 would come out next week though, I would "Buy It At A High Price" in a New York Minute.
OH MY GOD. I have to reply to all of this.
Haha, remember the dog hallway in the first one? It scared the crap out of me. Literally. As for playing the second part, first, I know a lot of people who did that. I played RE1 at my babysitter's house. Her son was in high school, and he had just gotten to the part when the hunters were released, so we were watching him play. I asked to play, and he said he was almost done and I could borrow it that night.
Well ... my brother and I were fighting over who was going to play it. I played first, then FREAKED out in the dog hallway. I paused the game, threw the controller and told my brother he could play. He said he wasn't touching it. I told him to shut off the PlayStation. He said he wasn't touching it. Eventually, we shut it off. I gave back the game and didn't play it. For a while, I dreamed of like a black space with doors opening and I couldn't figure out why.
THEN, RE2 came out. Played that one at my babysitter's house. Her son showed me how to get to the police station, then restarted and made me play. XD For whatever reason, I was hooked. He'd let me play it when he went out and I wound up beating Claire's disc. Then he let me borrow RE1 again, beat that one and that was the end of it for me.
I don't know which I love more, RE2 or Code Veronica. I still need Code Veronica and my GameCube collection is complete. But I see it everywhere for like $40+ and we're talking about used copies. :/
Now, I
liked RE4 .... but like you said, it was a real stark difference. I miss the zombies. Same for RE5. The newer gamepley really isn't bad or anything, but they changed quite a bit. The Lost in Nightmares DLC they released sort of revisited the old Resident Evil, but it wasn't quite what I expected when Capcom said they were returning to the 'roots' for the DLC. I won't spoil it, but meh.
Resident Evil 5 : Lost in Nightmares GameplayAnndddd I'm actually going to split this thread for us.
