    Its been years since I played resi 1 & 2, so I dont remember any of the puzzles - are they not all of the "yellow sigil in the yellow opening" kind of thing? in that they're more fetch questy / inventory juggling than anything else?

    The remake makes a lot of changes so it's basically like a brand new game.

    Some of the puzzles can be fetch questy but there are quite a few clever ones. Later games went more fetch quest but there's a real adventure game element to the original Resi.

    To an extent. But alot of them require reading notes and gathering information to figure them out.

    Something beyond the current generation.

    Don't usually buy digital but €20 cross buy is too good not to pass up.

    Did I read something about 10%off somewhere during the week?

    If you are a PS Plus member since before Christmas, you'll get a 10% discount code for this weekend only to compensate for the outage of online services over the Christmas break.

    remember when games manuals used to have a notes section in the back? - I never used it cause I preferred to keep my stuff pristine, but I do remember having a copybook full of codes for different games

    If you didn't like 5 you absolutely hate 6. It's like a more boring, uninteresting Resi 5.

    4 was amazing, and still is, played it so many times and still love it. No rose tinted glasses here. Have the ps3 and Wii version now. played on ps2 and GameCube. GameCube version looks miles better than the ps2 but ps2 has Ada side stories. The Wii and ps3/360 version are the full GameCube version with the Ada stuff from ps2, so, both great versions. Really want a port to the 3ds but I don't think it's gonna happen :(

    On re5. Yes it's more action and more of a mass market game, but overall I thought it was an excellent action game. The original version of re5 with just Chris, man, would have loved to have played that. That side kick chick, shevera or what ever her name is kinda takes you out of the game a lot. But it's worth a play through and the DLC was great! Must play it again.

    Re6, ugh. I was so excited to play as Leon again, but, somehow it just didn't work, I gave up by the time I got a bit into CoD Chris's bit. The sad part is, re6 is the best selling Ressy so, people bought it no matter what way you look at it and capcom see cash, not fans giving out. I think re7 will be more of the same tbh. But I can see re2 and 3 getting remakes this gen to keep everyone happy.

    You're gettingone of the best horror games ever made that most people missed out on. It's also not a straight port, there's been a lot of effort put into it to make it look great at 1080p.

    For some reason, I never thought Resi 4 HD (which I loved) was worth 20 quid. I'm sure I would enjoy playing through it again but this is worth every penny imo.

    Id pay 20 for a physical version.

    Don't want to pay €35 and not mad on a downloaded copy.

    Really want to play it though so may decide what to do. :)

    One thing that I did not like about Resi 4 was there was no real "New Game" mode.
    I remember starting the 1st mission on my 2nd run with 6 fully levelled guns and it was just stupidly easy.
    As soon as I finished it, I wanted to start again from scratch.
    But i rememberer having all my guns and stuff.
    Perhaps I could have just deleted my GC save file or trashed the guns, i dunno.
    What is the "definitive" version of 4 to buy? Given I have the GC original

    Either the Wii version for the control scheme or the PC HD version, although the console HD versions might run just as well asn PC.

    My only gripe about the HD edition of Resi 4 on the PC is that the increase in FPS makes the QTE's harder (as in twice as fast). The part where you're on the minecart and have to QTE to pull yourself always fails unless you switch the FPS down to 30 for that portion of the game (you can't change in game, only at the main menu).

    13.50 on g2play.net

    I played this before when it was released on the PS1 but my urge to buy this instead of other games that i have yet to play, like Shadow of Mordor (14.99) is insane. Stupid nostalgia ruining everything

    They changed, mixed up and added so much that it's pretty much a brand new Resi game and experience. It's worth it for the Lisa Trevor's bits added in alone. Honestly it's a far better game than Shadow's of Mordor pretends to be.

    Is this the "annoying hand getting tired" Aiming with the Wiimote cause that's what I'm assuming :P

    Or can I equip my Wii Zapper (used for Resi Wii Rail Shooters) and make super fun happy shooting time?

    Honestly I never got the whole hand getting tired thing with the wiimote unless you are swinging it around wildly. Rest it on your lap and it's grand.

    You can use the Wii Zapper of course but it's just a piece of plastic that holds the Wiimote so not sure what difference that will make.

    He might be the same build as a t-rex:pac:

    I've seen people play with their arms outstretched to full extension - of course they're going to get tired, or do they not teach the law of the lever in school any more?

    My frantic years of adolescent onanism meant that holding a wiimote for long periods of time was never an issue. Thank you Pam and her five sisters!
