First Nintendogs now this I definately have to get a DS now

How many times can they possibly remake the same game?

well, this many times, and perhaps more times........

Same could be said for Raiden then?
I guess it's the only shmup with that many sequels.
Up till now there are 7 raiden versions.

[PaCrappa]

This isn't a sequel. It's the same damn game.

This IS Capcom we're talking about here, right?

Great thread ThirdStrike; I am also excited about this game. The new pics at MB look great! I can't wait to play RE in a new, completely different way with the DS...

[BUHA]

This is retarded. The DS barely has any games at all, and then all the games it DOES get are either games that everybody has already played, or rehash.

[Specineff]

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Buha. And how can you convey survival horror in such two tiny screens? "OMG, this huge 1.5 inch Tyrant is going to squash me! MOMMY, oh the horror0x0rz!!!11!!"

[BUHA]

I think the only people who haven't played the original RE are 9 year olds who only know RE4. And this one is so archaic and awkward that nobody should want to play it anymore, unless you want to hear the hilarious voice acting.

Sure, it was groundbreaking at the time and it scared the crap out of me when I was 10 years old, but now is not the time or place for RE 1 again.

Somebody give this dude a high five.

[ArrogantBastard]

Ha. Not surprised.

"One screenshot shows Chris fighting against zombies, except that parts of the screen are masked with blood and are not viewable. The player can apparently wipe the blood off the screen by stroking on the touch screen."


I just love worthless/annoying uses of the touch screen. *sigh*

This is retarded. The DS barely has any games at all, and then all the games it DOES get are either games that everybody has already played, or rehash.

And the PSP doesn't have any rehashed games? It's not like the PSP has a huge library of games yet either. What about games like Pac-Pix, Ouendan (SP?), Meteos, or Kirby Canvas Curse on the DS? How many other games are there besides Pac-Pix have you drawing a Pac-Man to try and eat ghost monsters? Both systems have their good games and their share of not so good ones, but it's a bit unfair to complian about either system not having many games since they both came out recently.

BTW, this DS Resident Evil is a remake of the original. It's not an exact port. I like the idea of a new knife battle system. It sounds like it should spice up the game a bit, if done right.

Wasn't the GCN remake of Resident Evil quite different from the original? I heard that it was improved, but you guys are talking like it's exactly the same as the PSX version. I thought that 70% of the GCN one was all new.

[Nemo]

I can't figure ouw what's worse, the fact this game is getting released AGAIN, or people are actually excited about it.

HHAHAHAH give this kid a medal.

Anyways, I think this game is a waste of time and should be cancelled.

[BUHA]

The use of the touch screen on this game is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

And BrianC, why do you always have to stick up for EVERYTHING? You're not going to change my mind. I never said the PSP was any better. I was just saying what I thought about the DS.

You said that the DS has nothing but rehashed games and games that people already played, despite the fact that it has some very original games that aren't on any other system. I mentioned the PSP becuase many games on it are in fact rehashes. It doesn't matter if you said the PSP is better or not. The DS does have its share of rehashed games just like every other system out there, but it's also getting quite a bit in the way of innovation.

[PaCrappa]

It doesn't matter if you said the PSP is better or not.

It kinda does matter. This thread has nothing to do with the PSP and BUHA never said anything about the PSP. So how come it's immediately necessary to turn this into DS vs PSP?

I hope this won't be another Castlevania IV.

It's not DS vs. PSP. All I'm trying to point out is that the PSP has just as many or more rehashed games than the DS. I was trying to point out why I felt Buha's argument about rehashes on the DS was unfair.

BTW, As I said before, I didn't mean any disrespect in the CVIV debate. I was just wondering why this suddenly became a CVIV hate forum. I didn't put Bloodlines down and I think it's an excellent game, from what I played. I do admit that I did get rather harsh and defensive and I need to try not to reply in a rude way back when someone says something rude to me. Also, when someone posts something they said already multiple times, it gets on my nerves. I need to watch that, but I feel that person had a vaild arugment, but just tried to push it too much. Of course, I pushed it too, by getting irritated at it instead of being clam about it. And then there's the person who basically said that everyone who has a Turbo Duo and Rondo of Blood has to hate Castlevania IV. From the sounds of it , Rondo of Blood is most likely a better game than CVIV, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone who likes CVIV is poor or that people are idiots for liking CVIV. This is what I was trying to point out. I wasn't trying to get people to like the game, but I was trying to show people that there are vaild reasons for liking it.

Anyway, back on topic. I don't know how this RE remake for the DS will turn out, but it could end up being vastly different from the original or even vastly different from the GCN one. I'm taking a wait and see approach with it.

[UnscathedFlyingObject]

This is sad.

There was no need to turn this into a DS vs PSP war. PSP superiority hadn't even been mentioned so far.

You telling me (a person who clearly couldn't care less) why the PSP is no better than the DS, is not DS vs PSP talk? These systems aren't two young brothers living in the same household. Where did the concept of fairness enter this? Does he have to give equal negativity time to the PSP so the DS doesn't get its feelings hurt, steal mom's purse, run away from home, join a gang and smoke marijuana under the bridge?

I'm just not seeing where the PSP begged to be thrown into this discussion about one rehashed game for the DS, a system which has a buttload of rehashes.

So how is stating facts about rehashed games a DS vs. PSP war? Someone said that the DS is nothing by rehashes, but the PSP has Sengoku Cannon, that Ape Escape game, Hot Shots Golf, Twisted Metal, etc.? Are these not rehashes? Would someone mind trying to prove how exactly that Pac Pix, Meteos, Kirby Canvas Curse, and Polarium are rehashes? The DS does have it's share of rehashed games like Wario Ware, Ridge Racer DS, and maybe Super Mario 64 (which has a lot of new stuff), but can you honestly say it has more rehashes than the PSP or that it's all rehashes?

BTW, I purposely worded my first statment to avoid posting anything negative about the PSP. All I'm trying to point out is that it also has rehashed games.

[BAD]

But the difference between supposed "rehash games" on the DS and "rehash" games on the PSP is that on the DS they control and play differently; the "rehashes" on the PSP are almost identical to their original versions. Don't get me wrong, the PSP is cool, but Nintendo really is doing well with the DS; you have to learn new ways to play the games on it, even the "rehashes". I've heard more "rehash" games announced for the PSP than I have originals; especially by the big developers...

[PaCrappa]

So how is stating facts about rehashed games a DS vs. PSP war?

Dude, are you playing dumb here? That's exactly what I wanted to know in the first place. BUHA did just that. He stated a fact about the DS having alot of rehashes. Why then did you have to interject with unrelated facts about the PSP? Did he lie? War is a harsh word but you've definitely attempted to make this into a handheld competition. Whether you're aware of it or not.

BUHA didn't say that the DS has rehashes, he said that ALL of the games on it are rehashes. I mentioned the PSP becuase it seems like most of the rehash comments here are only aimed at the DS, so I wanted to point out that the DS isn't the only handheld with rehashes. I didn't mention the rehashes to put down the PSP and what I said IS related to what BUHA said. Seriously, you guys need to chill out. BTW, falsely accusing me of starting a flame war, system war, or putting down my opinion will not make me shut up and will not put this back on topic.

[PaCrappa]

Castlevania IV dude, Castlevania IV. Let's not go that route this time.

[BrianC]

If you don't want me to go that route, stop putting the blame on me. The only reason I kept going was becuase of some rude comments, the accusations of me not respecting opinions, and some condensending comments like "only people too poor to buy a Turbo Duo like Castlevania IV". I explained why I said what I said, but, if you want to keep me quiet, try not to provoke me. Next time someone tries to throw a rude or condsending comment at me, I'll do what I should have done and ignore it. Anyway, enough is enough and lets get this back on topic and hold off on the false accusations, ok?

[PaCrappa]

Oh, so you're not the guy that brought up the PSP for no reason? My bad. Please accept thousands upon thousands of my sincerest apologies.

Nice backpedaling but if you really wanted to convince people you haven't been trying to start a handheld war, you should have edited your earlier posts. Also if you really want to convince people that you want this thread back on topic, you would refrain from trying to deny what you most obviously tried to do which is start a handheld war and/or stop posting in this thread altogether.

Oh yeah and no one is "provoking" you so cut it out.

[Neon]

I sorta knew after reading Buha's post BrianC would interject with a defense of the Nintendo console in question, and denouncing the competition.

Damn, I'm psychic.
