I'll slice dem zombies like a paper

I would buy it if it was a full remake with next gen graphics, a gamecube game remastered is going to look like the God of War 1/2 collection, playing that alongside ps4's current games is gonna make it look extremely dated.

I'm sorry, call me a graphic whore or whatever but The Evil Within it is.

Im playing the gamecube hd remake version right now and i an struggling to play it for longer than 30 mins its sluggish controls are unbearable now. Hasn't aged well in my opinion. Although the visuals are fantastic

Agreed. What was excepted in 2002 won't work today anymore. Still I hope they won't "casualize" the core mechanics too much.

The writers point is valid. They either go for the fans of the original or try to gain an additional audience.

Gaming culture has changed since this game was created. That being said there isn't any reason why they couldn't include both. Keeping the sporadic and limited saves intact and doing a remake by introducing modern conventions.

Bunch of babies need to have their hands held while playing a game. Limited saves? Rare ammo finds? Fixed camera angles? suck it up. Christ almighty.

What this author suggests, that is, updating the controls and aiming, among other things - would require Capcom to rebuild the game from the ground up. They've already stated they have a new analog control layout that will allow you to move whichever way you push the stick. That's about the most accessible you can make this game. You are NOT going to have 3D controls on what is essentially, a 2D game on a 3D plane. They will not recreate the entire game with a 3D environment. This will not happen for 2 primary reasons:

A) It would cost a lot of money and require time and resources from a budget that's most likely not very large to begin with.

And perhaps most importantly:

B) Capcom are among the laziest developers going.

Resident Evil (yes, the remake) is a fantastic game, and if you can't get used to a non-3D controls, then well... tough tits. Sick of people feeling as though they need to be pandered to. "Give me more ammo. It's too hard!" "Why can't I quick save?" "The fixed camera angles make it hard for me to get used to a different control scheme."

Personally, I've never had an issue with tank controls. It's been different, sure - but the pre-rendered backgrounds allows a sense of foreboding atmosphere and dread through each room that would simply not exist if were fully 3D. It's just a game that you'll have to either put up with it and make an attempt to get used to it, or just don't play it. You can't have both.

Will they be Tweaking the Controls for this HD remake?

They're giving players a "new control scheme" along with the standard. Thats the only changes that need to be made. The lack of ammo, the fixed saves are not "old" gaming mechanics, they're simply GOOD survival horror mechanics. You aren't supposed to shoot everything you see. Saves are a PREMIUM, dying is a PUNISHMENT. Thats how it should be. If you could just save whenever you wanted, whats scary about opening that door to find a Hunter? If it kills you so what? Ya just hit reload and reenter that room. With the RE save system, your last save might of been 2 hours ago. All of a sudden, opening that door which might have a hunter lurking behind it becomes FAR more tense.

Simply put, if ya don't like that system, f**k off. The game isn't for you.

∅ is likely to be announced shortly after depending on how well this does, and I'd snatch ∅ up just the same.

Haha the writer doesn't know it's a remake of the Gamecube version. Journalism!

idiotic article by new cod type gamers-writers ...Resi had a reason for using these controls and FUK yes we like limited saving ,limited ammo and and generally limited stupidity from journalist ..we like difficult challenging games

tank contols counter intuitive? really makes perfect sense to me, its also exactly the same as some early fos controls. forward is up back is down. rotate left and rotate right? actually it is exactly the same as 4 without the accurate analog aiming.

also for the non tank retards, it seems there is a analo or direction control where down is down, left is left, etc. good luck changing screens and running into the exact same screen many times by pressing right.

I don't see why your character has to control like a tank to be scary. Outlast is scary and you can sprint climb and other stuff. The game just has to be made correctly according to your characters abilities. And having to be static while.shooting is still stupid as all hell. It all has to do with design. Limited movement doesn't equal scary. Things like disempowerment, misinformation, and scarcity equal scary.

I can't wait to get may hands on this game!...The nostalgia alone makes it worth it to repurchase it.

So.....modern gamers want more ammo and unlimited saves....got it.

I love how people think bad gameplay mechanics is a good way to stay true the 'survival' horror genre. These days that is just a lazy way to escape good game design. The genre really needs an innovator.

I am fine with people happy and excited to replay one of their fav games but to say it is good is due to bad gameplay that makes the game difficult is just absurd. (I am not referring to the limited supplies and saves btw that stuff is fine)

The writer is trying to strip the game of everything that made it great. I played the 2002 version again earlier this year and loved every minute of it. It's what the RE series should've been like all along not some stupid Michael Bay actionfest. It's called survival horror for a reason not unlimited saves and infinite ammo drops horror. This writer doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

I was hoping for Resident Evil 7 with no Chris, no Leon, no Jill, etc. I guess this will have to do for now.

they should just offer a casual mode with autosave and more ammo for those who want it and leave the regular mode as it was

I was honestly hoping for a RE-boot. For example. Take RE1. Bigger mansion. Some new locations/puzzles/character interaction, but grounded. Keep faithful to the Hitchcock camera vision & keep faithful to the type writer saving system & limited ammo.
On a side note. I bought a GC just for RE which was great @ the time as was RE 0 which was also a great addition to the franchise. I think a lot of you guys have missed out on this one. It's well worth playing & hopefully, getting a HD remake.
; )

Its not a flaw if it was intentionally designed that way. Plus they said they're making an OPTION where the controls will be easier if the player chooses.

Why are you all attacking the author when he clearly stated that he is a fan of the old mechanics? The article is saying that if Capcom wants to appeal to consumers who haven't played the original games, they would need to make some changes so the controls don't feel outdated to those who haven't played RE games before, not that the author wants changes to make the game easier, you should actually read the article if you are going to take the time to criticize someone for their thoughts.
