RE REmake. Quite possible the best remake ever

BareKnuckleRoo · Joined: 03 Oct 2011 Posts: 4569 Location: Southern Ontario

I was sad that the HD releases of the Remake defaulted newcomers to the widescreen, easymode controls. I get that it makes it more approachable, but the enemies simply aren't balanced around the wildly mobile controls, and the "tank" style controls add stiffness and cumbersomeness which added to the horror. You weren't meant to feel super agile (and you were still sufficiently agile to handle enemies). Widescreen sounds nice until you realize it's achieved mostly by zooming in the view, and camera panning up and down. Several camera angles make it harder to see essential things in widescreen, such as the staircase down in the graveyard, which doesn't pan to show you if there's zombies at the top of the stairs unless you're directly at the top of the stairs. The original Gamecube release's 4:3 aspect ratio is vastly better.

REMake is very good, invisible mode was actually a really well done challenge. But the original had more charm and seems to get better with age imo.

Best part of Blue Stinger was that it led to Illbleed.
Shame we'll never get Illbleed 2.

Blimey that game's intro makes my dick stand up.

WHEREVER HOKUTO APPEARS

FURY HAS NO LIMITS
RETRIBUTION

CHAOS WILL FOLLOW

Like a lot of these recent DC versions, the PS2 one's been on my shelf forever, but you can't deny that buffet of post-apocalyptic manliness. :shock:

I'm sure it sounds like a war crime to Hokuto fans, but the first time I saw that intro it was overlaid with the instrumental version of a Gackt song and that's stuck in my head as the proper music instead of the TV theme.

I'm sorry to hear that old friend (;｀ω´;) Well I got an attract thread to bump and some GIFs to make, that should help

TBH, even the PS2 intro's a little po-faced compared to the TV anime, though not to the extent of the Gaiden films that were coming out around its release. The awesomely presented yet sanitised RAOH DEN was my intro to the series, featuring a constipatedly perma-scowling Kenshiro (from a point in the manga where he was at a low ebb, having been Big Bro Slapped twice in one afternoon before senselessly losing a dear friend). I was genuinely surprised, upon starting the manga, to see OG Ken wasn't an inherently angry character at all, and that while the gore was medschool-graphic, it was deployed with Leone-esque black humour and/or dramatic weight. Classically leavened in a way the more XTREEM newer stuff isn't quite.

"ORA ORA ORAAA"
"These belong to you."
"What the - AIEEEEEE!"
"Oi. Do you know of a man with seven scars?"
"N... N... NO!"
"Tch." *UNSPEAKABLE SLAUGHTER* *breakfast burrito*

RIP Kaneto Shiozawa, died terribly young. Masterful as hero, villain and anti-hero alike.

Yeah, the way Ken was described to me way back in some fanzine was as a Zen hero. He's not fighting to satisfy his anger, and not helping people because he has to (with his ability he doesn't HAVE to do anything) or for a reward or even for satisfaction. And I didn't have access to the TV series, so being told that I am in fact shock never made an indelible impression, but I was able to rent the move and so my strongest prior musical memory was from the montage near the end.
