Resident Evil 6

Nothing expressly wrong with that.

That's actually what I was trying to point out. A lot of people seem to complain about how the writers "invented" the Plagas parasites, when they don't seem to realize that is also the case with the viruses.

[News Bot]

That actually applies to a whole bunch of core components used in making the other viruses as well. e.g. ancient virus "found" in an ant colony for T-Veronica, Abyss virus "found" at the depths of the sea for T-Abyss, flowers "found" for making the Progenitor virus, etc.

Nothing expressly wrong with that. How else are they going to do it?

The Plaga had potential but was not handled well at all.

[biohazard_star]

You mean the parasite that they pulled out of nowhere to explain the new enemies? Not really.
At least all the viruses have some sort of explanation, for Las Plagas it's simply "we found it! lol".

Las Plagas is a natural organism. There are many real world parasites that have very, very similar traits. So what's wrong with them just finding it?

I think that people fear change, they cradle nostalgia in their arms and can't let go. Games must evolve, it's the nature of the industry.

[REmaster]

Yea, that would be great. I'd love to replay Chris and Leon's campaigns with the retro costumes, I just hope they actually do it at some point.

[biohazard_star]

Well according to the modder who made that video, there's only two cut scenes that aren't real-time: The plane crash scene and the infection of the city.

I thought so. So I guess it's at least possible that the alternate costumes can be added for the campaigns via patch.

BTW, is there any truth to the rumors that most of the cutscenes in the game aren't real-time? I heard some people saying this, but the quality of the cutscenes (on the PS3, at least) look too lossless for it to be just video footage.

I wouldn't call anything plot related in RE4 good.

Las Plagas.

[Alkar]

In contrast to RE6, I'd say RE4s side story was pretty good.

Ada's story was surely much better than Leon's but it's still in the same stupid setting. Ada's Chapter 4 in RE6 > anything in RE4.

[Det. Beauregard]

Regenerators are, IMO, still the scariest thing the series has ever seen, bar none.

I don't know if I'd personally consider them the "most scary," but they're up there for sure. Crimson heads, chimeras, mimicry Marcuses, lickers shrieking out from behind blind corners in RE2, Skagdeads, and Rachael make the list, too. I might even throw the first two or three chainsaw Ganados in the village on that list, as well, although their environment makes them a bit more frightening.

Many of the creatures from RE2 and RE3 would have been more terrifying if the graphics had been on par with Remake's and RE0's. Just my opinion.

Both [4 and 6] have interesting aspects, but they are overshadowed by lack of exposition where it's actually needed.

I can agree with this. In 6's case, the files should have been found in the game and not by shooting the serpent emblems. I love hunting for hidden stuff, but that hidden stuff shouldn't have been files critical to the understanding of the game's plot. I liked how 5 did this better, with the extra costumes and such. Another problem I have is that the complete files were not in the game itself but rather relegated to RE.net. This is simply unacceptable if you ask me.

As far as 4 goes, I think they should have focused more on the dark vibe shown during the ending credits in the actual game itself. Once Leon headed to the castle, the game took itself far less seriously, and much of the atmosphere was lost. And while I found many of Leon's terrible one-liners hilarious, they didn't help make the game more ominous and horror-themed. The parasite idea was very dark, with the once-peaceful villagers losing their humanity to a religious madman's lucky biological discovery, but this was not the way the game was presented.

[Wrathborne]

If 4 had some more back story on Saddler(In game), Salazar, and Luis it would have been a lot more helpful, if they went more in depth with the plagas Parasite in game that would have been really nice.

I remember that Salazars family had the plagas parasites hidden/sealed away for,what 2 centuries or so? but thats it.

[REmaster]

Of all the games, I'd say Crimson heads, Lisa Trevor, Zombie Forest, The zombie doctor from CV, and Regenerators creeped me out the most. Nemesis is an honorable mention but just got annoying after the first seven or eight encounters. Absolutely nothing scared me in RE5 or RE6 for that matter, although if I had to pick something it would be the rascally Rasklapanje since they resemble a Regenerator/ooze hybrid both in appearance and extreme durabilty, and you often encounter them in close quarters.
