Resident Evil 6

[News Bot]

I have to agree with Dracarys. Some RE fans can get pretty bitchy when things aren't 'just so'.

The same can be said for fans of anything.

[AsteroidBlues]

Do it.

I picture you with that devilish, hollow smile when you said that... I guess it's true what they say....

[Dracarys]

Only person who has had anything negative to say about the idea has been you so far.

People were mad at ORC because it was a mediocre game that needed more development time and Q and A.

The RPD was recreated very well in ORC, there were only small changes. This did not stop people complaining though. Of course there are a billion double standards created just for ORC, I'm sure if RE6 did a version of the RPD with identical changes it would be a great recreation.

Only the changes weren't small at all.

I disagree. Everything felt wrong somehow. The waiting room (save room) was nothing but a bland, empty corridor, and nothing but the main hall had any resemblance to the "real" thing. The locations of the classic RE games were one of the reasons why I loved them so much, and ORC fell extremely short of recreating them faithfully. I realize that some liberty had to be taken with the 4-player co-op thing, but they went too far with some areas. The environments lack the true essence of RE to me.

In the R.P.D., the second floor double doors lead to the library. In ORC, they lead straight to a hallway that doesn't exist and Irons office... which is meant to be on the other side of the building. Same with the helipad.

The only faithful recreation in ORC is that one room in the clock tower.

[Dracarys]

I believe my point has been proven. The chiefs office and main hall were perfect recreations, but remove a door to a save room and everything gone to pot.

Well, no. They also removed the library and every hallway connected to it (half the building), and moved Irons office and helipad to the opposite side of the building while injecting a hallway that doesn't exist in the building's layout.

Try again.

I can already tell this is going to turn into a fight, and need I remind both of you that you two are treading on thin ice when it comes to interacting with one another. Keep it civil if you're going to continue, or just drop it entirely.

[Dracarys]

Try again.

Did you actually play the game? Because they didn't do any of that. A complete list of changes.

1. The door that leads from Helipad to a corridor, the corridor is now combined with the corridor outside the chiefs office (where the heli wreckage is in RE2).
2. Door to the save room on second floor from the same corridor is removed.
3. Door leading to upper floor of main hall from said save room is now a double door.

Whoo, big changes!

@canas, I am perfectly capable of having a disagreement without resorting to insults.

Dude you proved nothing, you need to go play RE2 again.

edit: you deleted post. I take it you see you were mistaken?

I was mistaken about it being on the opposite side, due to missing the double doors on the other side of the main hall (as Irons' office is beyond a single door and in a completely different position in BH2) and them not being open in ORC. That's about it. The layout is still completely off. Nobody disagrees with you on the fact that Irons' office itself is aesthetically similar, although its placement is completely different. If you want to discuss it further, take it to the ORC topic.

In regards to BH6, something that irks me is that it's the first actual game since GS4 in 2003 to actually feature a proper date for the game's events, rather than just "2004" or "2009".

If i remember correctly, ORC removed the hallway with the crows and Tyrant coming through, and basically had you coming through a non-existing door in the corner of the L-shaped hallway where the chopper crashed through. i just assumed they did that because it would be hard for four people to push themselves through that one hallway considering the game mechanic was not mean for single player action.

However if you want to be nit-picky they did not create Irons office faithfully. It looks similar, yes, but there were some drastic changes to the room (secret wall not having a picture, the table before his desk missing and the position of his desk, etc). One of the things I did not like was that they show a picture of him with a lady and a child which makes me think they were trying to say Irons had a wife and kid, which if you know the character, doesn't seem likely at all.

They also changed up the L-shaped hallway and the secretary reception office no longer exist and was replaced with what looks like just another square-shaped room before the main hallway. I just assumed Slant Six attempted to create the RPD as faithfully as possible but also allowing it for four player co-op which meant they needed to take some liberty.

In regards to BH6, something that irks me is that it's the first actual game since GS4 in 2003 to actually feature a proper date for the game's events, rather than just "2004" or "2009".

Coming from you, that's surprising. I would have figured you would have liked to see them return to actual dates for such events. IMO, I prefer an actual date but it seems they, CAPCOM, are really attempting to please all fans here. Did UMBRELLA CHRONICLES section of Umbrella's End not feature an actual date also? I thought it did.

Oh no, I'm irked about the fact that it has taken them this long to actually give a date. Umbrella's End had one, but it's not a game. :p
