I'd say Resident Evil: Revelations laid down the groundwork on how to create a great title in the franchise that greatly blended classic and modern elements into a wholesome experience.

rawshack3316d ago

I wouldnt say saved I would say evolved with all ready existing gameplay that started with part 4 .

rawshack3316d ago

I believe they have listened to the fans this time .but are the fans happy only time and the sales will tell .I'm hoping they don't mess up resident evil 2 remake

masterfox3316d ago

Nope, this ain't Resident Evil one bit is more like mixture of Silent Hill 2, P.T. and Outlast in other words the game has a identity crisis.

Darkwatchman3314d ago

No it doesn't. It's a very clearly focused survival horror game with several key callbacks to the older and design/gameplay elements that 4-6 abandoned. The only reason you think it has an "identity crisis" is because its first person.

You know what game had an identity crisis? RE 6. 4 campaigns each with their own different styles that were meant to appeal to different audiences from the slightly more atmospheric Leon campaign to the full blown cover military shooter that was Chris' campaign to the stealth and puzzle focused Ada Wong campaign.

THAT is a game with an identity crisis. Resident Evil 7 knows what it is and sticks to it regardless of how longtime series fans may feel about the new perspective.

JackieDrunken3314d ago

I agree that it's a RE game first and foremost. Haven't beaten the game yet but damn I'm really enjoying it. Atmosphere is killer. Probably my favorite setting in series. Don't think I like it more than 1,2,3 and 4 but it's great nonetheless. In fact only thing I would say negatively about it is I don't think it has the replayabilty those other games had. But as far as a first time through it's right up there with those games.

Wish I had VR too, would be really scary to play it like that.

Ogygian3314d ago

They've taken classic Resident Evil and evolved it with the times.

Hardiman3313d ago

Welp with that mentality then the new God of War isn't a God of War game. Different perspective and more story driven. RE7 was exactly what the franchise needed.

ZeekQuattro3314d ago

No. Like I've said in the past the Revelations series was Capcom getting back on track but unfortunately they again went off the rails with the advent of RE 7: Silent Hills Edition. So like RE 6 I'll pass. I'm still waiting for Remake 2 which I hope is still a thing at this point.

If Nintendo re-released the Game Boy with a bigger, colour screen, it’d make a killing. Better still, a Game Boy legacy handheld with a 3D dual screen, able to play all games from Game Boy to 3DS, able to link it to a TV. It’ll never happen l know.

bring back the Micro. Please.

I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.

Agent756d ago

He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.

gigoran86d ago

Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations

ZycoFox6d ago

Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.

I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.

Profchaos6d ago

Yeah also massive mega drive fan it's my favourite to

Loktai6d ago

there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.

RaiderNation6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.

1nsomniac6d ago

^ I had Virtua On and loved it.. what made it unplayable?

shinXseijuro6d ago

I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣

Shenmue blew me away, and took me to a place i had never been before (until years later)

Agent751d 8h ago

Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.

Relientk776d ago

I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.

Agent751d 8h ago

It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.
