That intro movie on the original resident evil is unironically brilliant, especially the "cast" bit

Here's another oddity related to resident evil, that George romero was at one point going to direct a resident film. In the meantime he made a quick advertisement for resident evil 2 before it released

I remember seeing that ad a few years back :eek: Romero would have done a much better job than the Paul Anderson saga.
The RE1 cutscenes are what makes that game so great, the cast intro was dreadful but masterful in a way haha. RE1 is a game i always come back and play every few months, doesnt take long to finish, always makes me laugh with the voice acting and an overall cool game.0 -

It's over 10 years old so counts.
Started Broken Sword as I never beat the directors cut. The Nicole sections are nice but there's a big difference in sound and animation quality between these scenes and the original which is jarring. Hoping to beat it so I can move on to the sequels which I never played.

I've been playing kung fu master on and off for the last week. I had the first 4 levels perfected but that 4th boss just killing me over and over and over. You kick his head off, he reappears, no energy gone. You kick his head off then he reappears with a doppelganger... Just t couldn't figure out how to beat him so I caved in and read some tips. That must have driven people up the wall back in the hey days! 5th boss was fine but tough.
So with that game "mastered", I've started playing asterix. It's not as refined gameplay as kung fu master, but it's full of those Konami details that makes it a bit of fun, like the Egyptian boss turning you into a dog. Plus asterix and obelix are good characters mais oui!
Here's a random picture of it because life is so exciting these days

Never heard of that one, any good? :pac:
Nah, I completed 1 and 2 a couple of times last year, working through the rest now.
6 will be the first NTSC version I've played of the MM games, interested to see if I notice a difference.
You won't if you play it on a pal NES. It will run at 50hz.

It really is one of the all time great action games. It's remarkable how long it is but I just love how it keeps introducing new set pieces throughout its run time. It just keeps it so fresh when most modern action games are 40+ hours long with gameplay that can't sustain them up to 8 hours without skinner box mechanics.
I also don't get people complaining about not being able to move and shoot. It's part of the core gameplay. It's like giving out about not being able to change the angle of your jump in Ghouls n'Ghosts. You have to commit to stopping and shooting. Sometimes you can add a lot to a games complexity by taking away elements. Capcom seem to recognise this with... well GnG and Resi 4 but also we wouldn't have gotten Bionic Commando without this sort of thinking.

I played Resident Evil 5. It was... grand. The focus on co-op meant that the game was never going to be as focused as Resi 4. It just felt very samey whereas Resi 4 has a core set of mechanics that the game was constantly exploring in imaginative ways.
Resi 6 is pretty much the worst game I played last gen. They tried to appeal to the dude bro shooter crowd and ended up with a game that nobody could enjoy. Chris's campaign was so unbelievably bad where I spent most of the campaign foraging for ammo while getting swarmed by respawning enemies. People will tell you Leon's campaign wasn't bad but it's terrible as well, just the least terrible part of the package. I still remember a god awful boss fight in a church that was pure jank. There was no strategy or clever way to beat bosses. They were all unimaginative bullet sponges. **** that game.
I've not played Revelations games but heard they are decent.
I'd highly recommend Resident Evil 2 remake. They absolutely nailed that game. It's one of the best games of last year and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I hear Resi 3 remake is disappointing and short but still decent.
I've actually started playing Resi 7 yet but hear it's excellent.
