Actually being spooky and giving a feeling of dread or fear.

puzzles...
items...
ATMOSPHERE...

midriff

Fixed camera angles

I wish that outfit was in the game.

>survival horror
>strategy
>item upgrades and replayability

I want to say all that proper stuff about pacing, mechanics, OST and atmosphere adm those DO matter, but i really do believe that Resident Evil’s greatest gift is all the unreasonabley styalsed characters.

im just going to post something i havent seen already listed, but Resident Evil is a game that when you find a New Gun tucked away or in a case or locker, Or Ammo, the feeling of reward is unmatched by other games.

It is though...

Rebecca armpit fanservice.

some degree of non-linearity. You should be always returning to old areas with new items in order to get to new sections and sub-sections. The best RE locations are the ones where you are in a giant map and need to find the Three Jeweled Assholes of the Summer Tiger to unlock the Crest of Perennial Pain or some shit like that.

This: also having game mechanics that are considered outdated and archaic by modern standards. But it is these specific game design choices that make RE games what they are and make them stand out. Everything since RE4 is not a Resident Evil game imo. Sure, they use the IP's name, its characters, story and locations but the gameplay and atmosphere is so fundamentally different to what made this series so great and big in the first place is simply missing.

I want to pull down the shorts and put my nose in it

>sfm rip never

Pretty much this. RE7 almost captured all of that, but it felt diluted, like a diet version of the PS1 trilogy. You had some great atmosphere in the Baker estate, but then the boat dropped the ball despite the initial parts being pretty grimy and off-putting with the decay, but then you reach the parts you largely explore and it's just corridors not unlike the prerequisite lab each game has. Speaking of, the one in the mines goes by so far it's almost not even funny, with the mines being too short in general. Puzzles were all just the same shadow thing, and pretty easy, but still a neat concept on paper. If they can just expand on the good points, maybe RE8 or whatever will be really fantastic.

this but also the molded were repetitive and non frightening or even intimidating

They were kind of threatening at first, but once you realized there was no variation beyond (claw-arm, no legs, skinny four-leggers), it all just sucked away their fright factor.

I wish modern RE (REV/2, 7) would stop trying to be so edgy.

if rebecca is for armpits, ashley is for ballistics, what is Jill and Claire for?

How were they remotely edgy?

Sandwiches and Respect, respectively.

Are you serious? For starters: REV 2's dialogue. RE7 has your hand chopped off with a chainsaw in the first 10 minutes (if you know what you're doing).

Jill is for watching your 6 than giving it to her

That's not edgy, it's just cursing and gore.

the cheap, plastic sound of the starter pistol

>Finally get around to playing REmake
>get to guard house
>generally nervous because of the great atmosphere
>think nothing of the crack in the floor
>tentacle comes out and grabs me
>mini heart attack
>block said crack with box
>back track to box room
>second crack i thought was too small pops out another tentacle
>another mini heart attack
>that shark tank draining part

The first RE starts with a member of your team getting eaten by dogs and then finding another member of your team getting eaten by a Zombie.

>Over the top action
>Insane 10-20 minute cutscenes
>Ammo and Health everywhere
>GUNS GUNS AND MORE GUNS
>Hot bitches and awesome bros like ethan winters
>Punching shit in the face with a cyborg arm
>DLC AND GOLD EDITIONS

>uncensored pic
delicious

It's a fucking horror game.

t. Didnt play RE7
6fags are pathetic :^)

Claire is for nurturing

>falling for such easy bait

>mfw just finished playing re4 for the 1st time

Meh, was ok desu. The beginnig and ending were boring as af, the game really peaked in the castle sections

Would Claire make for a good mommy? with Steve?

...

If he hadn't died, maybe. Kind of lame they're hinting at Wesker coming back and not following up on that decade-old tease about Steve being revived in some way.

The main two things that matter most to me are good level design and atmosphere.
All the good REs have this from 1 to 4 and to 7. Even Revelations had that a bit.
6 and 5 have no atmosphere and crap level design and that's why I don't like them.

I feel most REs get weaker in the second half beside maybe Remake which is perfect from start to finish,

This and waifus

Just download the nude mod. I think it's only compatible with that costume though.

I WANT TO SEE JILL FUCKED BY DOGS GOD DAMMIT

These and good world design, Spencer Mansion is still in second place for best designed world in a 3D game.

Was she the best Jill?

dude back tracking LMAO

I used to be a pure atmospheric, survival/horror fag after growing up with the OG games, but don't care anymore honestly. I've long accepted there are 2 distinct styles to the series and learned to appreciate both, at least as far as gameplay goes. There's still fun to be had with the stylized action-based entries, disregarding them entirely is dumb. Also Ada bes girl

I need to do a knife only no save playthrough in REmake for the achievements, should I use Chris for health / knife damage or Jill for inventory slots / plant 42 skip.

Chris, if you're good you won't need the extra inventory slots.

yes by far

But if you're good you won't need the extra health.

You don't pick Chris for the health, you pick him for the damage.

Ada Wong

Is it possible to do a knife only run for RE7?
Just thought about it.

>Eating with gloves on
filthy barbarian

Why are armpits so sexy tho?

theres only 1 reason to play as Chris, and thats to interact 1 on 1 with Rebecca

>TFW Rebecca will never appear in another RE game

It's all about curves and musculature. Women put the arms up like that because it lifts and frames the breast as well. That's why so many photo shoots have that pose.

>Billy was killed by other monsters in the woods

She will. That's why she was put in the new film to let people know she was still around.

>RE7 almost captured all of that, but it felt diluted, like a diet version of the PS1 trilogy.
Best description of RE7.

That's what I'd expect from a Sakura-fag.
Natsu 4 lyfe

1. they are not always exposed, they require a tank top or less to be seen
2. they are sensitive/ticklish
3. they resemble a certain body part when closed

I thought Capcom said the old cast was more or less retired from appearing in mainline games because they were, quote, too experienced. Evident by 7's cast being entirely disconnected from the old one.

Suspense. Map design. Puzzle design. Enemy design. Weapon balance. Replayablity.

And the female S.T.A.R.S. fat fucking asses.

Nah, REmake 2 will sell like Gangbusters, and if you think for a second they will no longer use Leon, Claire, Chris, and Jill, I don't know what to tell you. They're going to do two types of games going forward I think. The FPS stuff, which I'm personally not a big fan of, with new characters, and other games with various types of gameplay(Third person/Over The Shoulder) and the original cast.

Guess we'll see.

I like it edgy

>REmake 2
Might as well be vaporware at this point.

Nah, we're getting news in a couple days, man. If we don't, well, I suppose that's when I'll start to worry.

maybe being a good fucking game unless you're purist autist
and finishing off final boss with rocket launcher

>we're getting news in a couple days
What makes you so sure? I've heard this many times regarding this project and been let down every time.

>Muh purists boogeyman
6 is still garbage.

Resident Evil 2 released on 21st of January 1998.
20 year anniversary

Because Capcom has been teasing something on their social media accounts, and the anniversary of RE2 is in 2 days. Seems like it's going to happen. If it doesn't, then I'll be worried.

Announcement planned for Monday.

I forgot about the anniversary, here's to hoping but if we get nothing on the 21st then I'd say it's safe to assume it's vaporware.

So all RE games are bad?

>you will never lick rebecca's perfect armpits
>you will never stick your tongue in her pussy and lick her from the inside out
>you will never shoot your semen inside her womb impregnating her with you child

IT'S NOT FAIR!

You ok, user?

...

6 fine as long as you ignore story and any campaign except Leon's as I did

That's cute considering Leon has the worst campaign and the worst story. Chris and Piers were the best in both areas, with Chris actually having some development as a character.

>Game is good if you ignore everything that's happening and only play 1/4 of the way through

claire has booty

I liked Chris' because I'm Serb and it's funny hearing lines but I couldn't force myself to finish it, playing on PC is main reason and the only controller I have is broken chinkshit

It's a horror game, what the hell are you expecting?

Classic RE1 Jill will always be the best in my heart

I'm playing re4 again, what guns should I use?

and armpits

...

Red 9, Bolt rifle,striker

Why is RE3 so underrated, despite being the scariest and most fun to play?

Can you believe he's dead?

its not the scariest. remake is the scariest

also nemeisis' design is so stupid and funny looking

Soyboys don't like sexy grills

>oldest villain in a series based on cheesy b-rated horror flicks
>dead

This.
