Resident Evil Remastered and why does it matter

Resident Evil was and still is big, no one can deny it. However, things have changed since the the fourth installment was introduced and kept going in the new direction all while facing decline. What ever true Resident Evil fan was asking for is simple; A survive horror game with zombies.

Capcom however had something else in mind ignoring the fan base and kept on pushing the copo action game. All was lost until Resident Evil Remastered was announced. Not only did this news brought joy to my heart along with most if not all Resident Evil fans, it sparked hope that the game will finally be heading back to its roots.

After the polished version of Resident Evil 4 hit Steam as Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD edition, I must say I’m looking forward to the PC version as it will most likely be the ultimate version due to the obvious reasons. Strangely enough Wii U is not included in the list but I am sure that it will make the list sometime soon. The Xbox 360 and PS4 will be 720p while the rest is 1080p but that’s hardly a deal breaker for anyone.

Seen Resident Evil Remake Remastered in HD in its full glory is the biggest eye candy I have ever seen. I’m not saying the game has the best graphics or engine, what I am saying is that as an old school Resident Evil fan; it is the best HD remake that I can ever ask for.

The benefits that will make this a must own and better than the original GameCube Remake:

Better Controller
Best possible Graphics and resolution
Accessible to everyone on all platforms
New Camera
Better Sound
Achievements

and hopefully few other things like online Rankings.

The other thing I want to stress on is that should this game sell which I am sure it will; Capcom will hopefully seriously consider remaking Resident Evil 2,3 and Code Veronica as a proper Resident Evil 1 remake and make them available to all considering they will not spend on packing as it will be digital release only.

Lets hope and wait for more news on this important and great announcement.

Resident Evil 6 first impression

Starting this post with a fact that I am the biggest Resident Evil fan there is. I own most of the Resident Evil games on multi platforms and still hunt the remaining ones on eBay and local sellers. With that out of the way, lets get into my first impression after playing Resident Evil 6 on Xbox 360.

Growing up with Resident Evil 1 and on made me love the franchise more and more until part 4 and 5. It is when the formula totally changed and the game became something else with the Resident Evil name. I started Resident Evil 6 playing as Chris; the old school Resident Evil 1 hero who started taking steroids from RE5 and onward.

The controls felt broken and un resident evil like although I got used to them in 30 minutes. The new inventory system is confusing and time consuming. Why couldn’t they keep the RE 5 inventory system is beyond me.

The first chapter was not that great to begin with as it seemed very repetitive and boring. As I finished it and moved on to the second, things started to change for the better. I am now more familiarized with the system and the enlivenment but the thing is, I cant but feel that I am playing a 3rd person Call of duty game. The squad command is not helping either. Resident Evil was always about 1 guy getting into trouble in a no man zone. Running around a group of solders is not Resident Evil.

Never the less, I am enjoy so far and my brother who has completed the game is saying that things will get better. Hoping for the best. Out.

The game of the year like version will have all the DLCs as well as skins, in short everything that came out in one package.

The box art looks amazing well.

Batman Arkham Origins Cold Cold Heart DLC impression

The story DLC is finally here and I managed to play it last night. I had little hope of seeing something new let alone a good story but all that came crashing down when I started a new mode in Cold Cold Heart menu. I was surprised to see new textures, places and even enemy type. And while not much has changed since the main map, new place was opened as well as some small side missions but most importantly the new Batsuit.

The story is kinda short but satisfying for a quick and cheap DLC (Free with season pass) and while the main point of this DLC is to introduce the back story of Mr. Freeze, the new suite makes everything seems cooler somehow. I wont spoil anything but one final word: Get it.

PS: I’m playing the PC Steam version via Xbox 360 controller.

Arkham Origins first impression (PC version)

As you may know by now, I’m a huge Batman Arkham series fan. I was torn between preordering the Xbox 360 version or go with the PC one (like I did with the first).

Fortunately I went with the later and so far not disappointed. First of all, the PC version comes with Deathsrtoke as well so no missing content from the console versions. The second and most important thing is the next gen version! You haired it right, since Arkham Origins is not coming to PS4/Xbox One the PC version is the only next gen version. Dont get me wrong, the PC version would have still won regardless if PS4 or Xbox One’s version were out but the lake of them gives me a bigger reason to own this version.

My PC is a bit old and while it cant run everything max at the highest resolution it still manage to pull a decent, as good as or even graphics higher than currant gen consoles. Enabling the advanced features costed me performance hence the reason I turned most of that stuff off, for now. I’m seriously thinking of finally upgrading my PC to run this gem at the highest graphics possible having the full experience. I am the best version freak so my actions are understandable to my kind heheh..

The last and final reason is that I got it at a cheaper price, hocked up to my trusted monitor (I don’t own an HD TV yet) and playing it using Xbox 360 wired controller. Life is gooooood man.

Enough about my setup, lets talk about the game itself. I must admit that I’m not that far into it so my mini review will cover what I know and seen so far. The game looks and controls as the previous installments, in a good way. The action pickups as soon as you start the game. Having played and mastered the first 2 with mixed unlocked achievements I started my way in with knowledge of how the game and its fighting system works. The boss fights are different so far with some old aliments returning.

The story is not bad as well, you start out as a noob Batman and work your way fighting and making a name for yourself. The city is modified with new areas and places to go into. The detective mode is enhanced thus opening the door for new experience. The only thing I didn’t get use to is the confusing upgrade menu but I may get used to it over time. Over all, I am please with my purchase and will get the DLC Season pass once I receive my payment. Will also get the game of the year version once it hits on Xbox 360.

Final advice: If you loved the previous arkham games, get it. Get it on whatever platform you please but get it. And oh, the PS3 version gets extra skins and challenges. Will post screens and further impression once I’m done.
