Resident Evil: 13 Years of Brain-Feasting Fun

[SyLaRSaGe]

This guy's a bitch

[SyLaRSaGe]

That's what made the game scary as fuck

[gamertag0smilly911]

yes u can have horror and good controls but the tank moving as u should call it sucks but im still a resident evil fan and btw halo has a good story line and good controls but its not a good game still and gears sucks more than halo also one more thing do u play fps tps or even shooters if so take a look at all the shooters out there which btw resident evil 1 was on the sega dreamcast the years later remade on the ps1 and had more enimes to it then came out on the gamecube and so on.

[hydrolist1]

Bullshit, I don't agree with this dude at all

[Fl0k4t1]

Chris Kohler... you re an Ftard... go play tetris and be afraid of the ghosts...

[MRarpegius]

Annaliza Savage threw a lot of money out the window; this asshole should get rid of his Halo games and learn how to play REAL video-games instead of whining about how "badly designed" are the controls of a game he simply finds too hard to play. After a 10 -15 minutes play EVERYONE gets used to the classic Resident Evil controls, it's just asking you to think a little bit more. You are trying to teach CAPCOM how to make video-games... Chris Kohler, you fail at life.

[Coolguyuno1]

Are you a vampire?

[hyru913]

Yaknow there's a quick turn around button, right?...

[smurf88]

The annoying controls are kind of what makes it Resident Evil.

[similedefinitioN17]

gay vampire.. maybe giesha

[andeng567567]

he's guy right?

[eNergizer361]

This guy plays too much Halo lol

[jellybellyy]

Dude this guy is fucking stupid he is just pissed because he wets his pants every time he plays resident evil

[murderouschild]

So. To fulfill my own response requirements I will say this.

The controls do need an overhaul in regards to character movement. True. But the original purpose of this particular point and move type sceme was to enhance the horror. Due to the PSX hardware, developers had to find ways to force the suspense, the movement issue was one way.

The elements of the game were fine. Lone survivor, horde of hungry undead, little ammo and powerful guns. It worked.

RE4 and 5 changed it up successfully IMO.

[murderouschild]

Oh Yes! Instead of offering constructive criticism and opposing viewpoints like the comment section was designed for... let's just degrade ourselves into rabid fanboy-ism and insults.

I'm as big a fan of the RE series as anyone else. I have played every single RE game released in the USA, yes that does include the shitty handheld version of RE2... if anybody even remembers that abortion. But, to say this guy is a douche, loser, fat, retarded, what-the-hell-ever is juvenile. Grow up folks.

[thedrouins]

this guy likes to hear himself talk and comes across as more of a sims player anyway. he wouldent know a good game if it shot him in the head

[Pimpinanitez216]

GOOD REVEW GTA4 IS WAY BETTER

[jihadjared]

You fat shit. Get a life. You don't know how to analyse any game.

This is a dogshit review. Shame on this guy. I mean wow. This is almost offensive to true gamers.

He's almost like a twisted employee of FAUX or CNN.

[bigdanzvgm]

after a year+ on utube,this was the frist vid that had pissed me off soo much i was shaking. so who else is with me when i say :Let Shoot This Fucker N The Kneecaps And Toss Him Into A Horde Of Zombies!??

[tehgreatvak]

This review is absolute garbage.

Yes, the controls sucks, but it is intentional. It's like whining because you can't pull a 10 hit combo in Street Fighter just by pressing one fucking button. It's part of the gameplay and game balance.

I'm sure that if the controls were actually "better" (ie :more like any other FPS/TPS ever), Capcom would have to put more ennemies in the game, to balance thing out. But then you'd whine too, because there's too much zombies.

You suck, just go play Halo.

[VanBurenBoi]

RE5 plays like Gears of war? More like Gears of war plays like RE4 I think you'll find

[Rahamutmi]

Resident Evil 1 directors cut was the best one of the that series, especially around that time the movements and camera angels where shitty like most RE games but it was scary as hell at that time. i played all of the except the newest one. Their all worth playing

[kungmakadam]

Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 is the best video games ever made, so just stfu you dont know what you're talking about! Just go fuck yourself

[FriendlySuburban]

ZOMG L33T HAX0R

[TTEKimball]

u cant move and shoot at the same time because ud be to good the zombies are slow so ud just be able to walk backwards shooting them in the face theyd never get close

[camb1986]

REmake on the GCN is the best once RE shifted to action and ditched horror it lost me as a fan

[Pacmanghost]

Reboot?!@!@*#@()&

THAT IS NOT FUCKING COOL. THAT IS LIKE SETTING MY CHILDHOOD AFLAME AND THEN PISSING ON IT.

[kenlee83]

Are you seriously kidding me?!

The first 3 RE series are like legends to the old school gamers! And, also, it is not even exaggerating to say a bit that RE 1(or Biohazard) got me hooked and engrossed into what kinds of ethereal experiences such games like the original RE series could've delivered without shooting madness, but with eerily spooky environments and a limited set of resources for survival.

Can't ever forget the moment where a zombie dog bursts out of the random window in RE 2

[Pacmanghost]

Yeah, bro.

[grawful]

RE4 is still the best. it was a bit scary and the controls were manageable. RE5 was a huge letdown as it played like RE4 only controls were more complex and it wasn't scary.

[ilikerice1337]

I think the should give resident evil splinter cell controls.

[etphonehomebitch]

the resident evil series has always been amazing... all you talk about is the controls. you sound like another douche that only wants fps style movement and controls... when a 'shooter' has never been what resident evil is all about.

[ZeroAP00]

You make some valid points, but you seem to be very focused on the control scheme which I feel actually works really really well. Also, RE4 the best in the series? Really? RE2 was the best by far, but RE4 was a great game. Oh and I do believe RE4 and RE5 are still RE games just done in a very different fashion... they still retain the horror aspect of the RE series, but it's a very different kind of horror.

[ToMorlix]

you forgot to mention the RE umbrela cronicals that came outwhich was kind of like house of the dead but much better i believe

[spike339]

I have to agree. I did not care for the first games until 4 came out since you didn't walk like a mentally ill gorilla that had broken knee caps.

[tragiclanding]

Chris needs to get some sun.

[LimeTheSlime]

Ironic that many people are less than impressed with RE5.

[wesyboy101]

you fuckin suck dont even talk shit

[aHintOfNerd]

i disagree. resident evil 4's controls were not that bad.

i found it easy to fight/survive.

learning the quick turn maneuver makes it alot easier.

read an instruction manual once in a while, they help.

[p4roudestmonke1y]

quick turn came out during RE2... you suck

RE4 isn't RE, its Metal Gear Solid... play that instead

SURVIVAL HORROR!! That's what the camera angles and 'bad controls' are about.. its not an action game, like all the new Metal Gear games.

I can run without running into walls, avoid zombies without having to shoot them, and every time I wanted to shoot, I don't want to be moving when I do... I'm glad you never got to experience the original RE glory to the max, have fun playing Resident Gear Solid.

[chrissyj91]

actually quick turn came out in re3. I agree that the change is partly for the worse.

[Zartan66]

lol this is funny!

[onthefloorred]

i ave the exact same opinion

[theinhtun1]

this guy does not know horror games if doesn't believe the old Resident evil games are good,

all he wants is something like Halo where you do nothing but shoot mindlessly

[bigtyme560]

they were good for the time....then everyone got weary of it when it came to the ps2 and gamecube.....then re4 came out......whic is considered one of the best games of all time......re5 is a great game like he said.....but since we have all moved into different directions with games.....the sereis needs one more change to be great

[justinjosue053185]

indeed..

[dudedatshot22]

And to the maker of this video: since you like making fun of people who LOVE the series, i make fun of your wierd ass mouth. I tell ya wear some vampire fangs and youd look like a total retard. your mouth has the most ABSURD look.

[dudedatshot22]

In regards to this review of Resident Evil, all i have to say is the man you see before you has no idea how much scarier it was to play with control schemes that was...sucky. In any case it made the game a lot more funner and scarier because it made you feel like there are only 2 options: run shitless or fight.

Oh and by the way, he TOTALLY looks like a cat. i swear to you now that his mouth looks like my cats mouth when it eats. I guess his mom dropped him on the floor and beat him with a pin.

[FabioCrow07770]

Your able to tun quickly in the game,don't know what the hell your talking about.

If you have trouble with the controls then you just fail at video games lol. I had no problem playing when I was like 12 lol

[hatboy112]

Been saying that forever....ignore the fanboys below..... and amen to that cult statement

[ZeMime]

Huh, i thought we killed all the Los Illuminados after RE 4 came out

[justinjosue053185]

lol! yeah, he does look like one of those cultist in RE4.

[joshy666]

This has to be the worst review of a game I have ever seen. Is it a RE game or not ? what's the point in making a game called RE if it has taken out the features that made the series a compelling classic ? frankly its a product of quantity over quality if I wanted to play GOW I'll play GOW ! If I want to play RE I want to play RE ! I want to be out of ammo on the verge of death smashing zombies in the head with a crowbar.

[zepplinjetta]

wow, the first resident evil game came out 13 years ago??? Damn you guys... I feel old now, and I'm not even that old!! D:

[550077]

This is absolutely absurd. The control scheme of older RE games was PERFECT and it made SENSE.

[halofan56]

you fail

[CowMuffins]

Uh, no duh the games going to be a total "reboot". Wesker's dead, they're going to have to make something else up.

[Yellownealy]

thanks for the spoliers

[megaman616]

nerd

[nanogear]

yeah, so nerd and weirdo

[Tffirestarter]

Damn has it really been 13 years ?? wow im getting old :P lol but ya Resident Evil is still the shit although maybe turning a bit away from the horror scene. They still got my vote:-)

[hunterkiller10000]

the playstation version reminds me a whole lot of an old Dreamcast game i have called Dino Crisis... Almost identical really

[usrRhinos]

Dino Crisis was on playstation too and yeah it reminded me of it as well. I guess they were limited as to what they could do then which is why they could only spin to turn and not strafe or anything.

I played RE5 demo on 360 and it was really annoying trying to aim. Would be easier to play on PC I'd imagine but I could never play it on a console and take it seriously.

[phaseone86]

reviewer EPIC FAIL! "its not scary any more" thats because they changed the controls dipshit, the horrible controls actually made it scary and enjoyable because you could never have the feeling of total control

[SabreXT]

You only play games for the graphics? Wow. Are you a fan of peggle?

As for the control issues. They were good once you were used to them. Remember the first 3 were before anologe sticks, and Devil May Cry proved that '3D' movment doesn't really work.

[mastershake1000]

Not only graphics, but gameplay, and playability (as in being playable by new players), I didn't understand the controls when I started playing this game.

[nushadow2008]

review fail

[chivas100x100]

this guy needs to stop playing video games, and get fukin laid!! lol, by the way resident evil was da shittt

[Agnohstik]

this guy is fucking retarded, the storyline is fucking great. The only thing i really seemed to agree with is the horror. I dont like the new Uroboros or the Las Plagas. The T-Virus and G-Virus zombies were way better. More zombie like, and the darkness just added to the horror.

[Brooklyn24]

A simpler story line?! Are you serious? The story line is what keeps RE players coming back for more. As for the controls, yes they were a little primitive in the beginning, but by the time RE3 came out you could use the down X control to turn your player around, making it much easier to defend your self. Same applies for RE4 and RE5 which are both amazing games through and through.

[Rundleguy]

i dont know what this jackass was talking about i love resident evil games fighting zombies and the story the controls were easy all this game did was just let you kill black people resident evil 5 isnt a resident evil game its a kill lots of people game i havent seen one zombie when i played this just a bunch of crazy black people it wasnt scary at all (sorry if i sounds racist but its the truth)

[skiie]

This guy should stop talking about video games, because telling by the way he talks he is probably bad at them. The reason the control scheme was like that was because it was to give it a more puzzle feel. It's survial horror (not including 5), you're suppose to get around the zombie and figure the puzzle out. and if he got to close you shot at him untill he was down then you ran to the next room. Anyone who spent their time unloading every clip into every zombie was not going to make it far.

[bex753]

I honestly never understood how anybody could be persistent with these games with the sucky control. the turn to move is dreadful and should have been dropped as soon as the analogue sticks where added to the playstation.

[SabreXT]

It didn't work. Devil May Cry had people getting stuck between view when right suddenly ment left. Try Silent Hill 4 or Project Zero for further proof.

[RyuSaarva]

That is your opinion, I personally prefer by far the tank controls.

[GSDNaruto]

lol he obviously should stick to the wii, seems the next gen makes his brain hurt from the sheer complexity of storyline and controls ;)

[apxep]

The static cameras played a role in making those games scary.

Now every game is a generic brown third person action/shooter with no health bars. And people like this guy absolutely love that shit, eat it all up.

[musy19733333]

dude u take it up da assss

[SuperStarPido]

i liked the old verisons better.

[nintendo22890]

I do agree that Resident Evil seems to have lost its horror. its more of an action series instead (but still awesome). I played RE5 on both systems and I think it is a step down in the gameplay department mostly because of the controls but it is still good.

[nintendo22890]

this guy obviously doenst know what the hell he is talking about. "turning in a circle"? he must not know how to do a quick turn.

normally run and gun is better, but in resident evil's case, its not. stop and shoot actually make the controls easier. think about it. run and gun would actually screw it up.

does he really think the story is complicated? his IQ mus be really low if he really thinks that. if you want a complicated storyline look at Metal Gear Solid (still a really good story

[ludwigious]

Also, Resident Evil 2 for the N64 was the best RE(in my opinion). It allowed you to walk in the direction that the control stick was pushed, and it had a button that locks onto nearby targets. As far as controls go, that's good enough for me.

Plus the storyline was great.

[ludwigious]

I wonder how much money Capcom paid him to say those blatant lies. I bet he could taste the acidic bile in the back of his throat as he was reading the script.

[gaberson38]

the stop and stoot better not change that makes it so badass!!!!

[geck1204]

Dude, being unable to move and shoot makes resident evil intense.

[Behrudy]

This guy looks like a homo.

[wrestlemaniaxxx]

i need a polio jap

[asilayloathing]

I remember eventually haiting res evil games when Nintendo made em exclusive for so fucking long... but yeh it got good again at res evil 4. i bet Dead Space still kicks its ass though

[portes91]

but still has made so many versions... enough said

[64DivinePoints]

I disagree; I liked the original games better then 4 & 5 (Not to say they weren't good, because they are) It feels like the newer titles require less strategy, and the puzzles have much to be desired (there are still puzzles in nemesis that I can't figure out on the first try).

[danerdyguy]

I love Resident Evil, come on, you gotta love the old games.

[TheNorwegianNerd]

i have a theory, that guy is a vampire.. look at him.. pale, weird eyes, and sharp teeth!

[JJRM1116]

oh no, not again

[00PJaM00]

he must feel special inside

[XIOMEGAIX]

do you want a cookie

[coolaz07]

FIRST!
