Most Anticipated Games

Yeah, but Leon is hallucinating, not you. I mean from a player point of view. If you see a hook man you go, "Okay, that's not real, I'll just run away, and not waste my ammo on it."

i get your point here, but it's flawed, the whole game is not real, zombies and BOWS are not real, in the game they are, but not in real life, but in real life hallucinations ARE real, and if the hallucinations in the game can hurt you, then they can work as well as zombies and BOWs can.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, I don't see how a hallucination is gonna be able to hurt you.
I mean, if a hallucination is able to hurt you, then you're practically turning Resident Evil into something paranormal already.

[Alexia_Ashford]

I think if hallucinations were ever implemented, it'd be so they are identical to real zombies/B.O.Ws. You're not going to let an enemy get within damaging range to find out if it's real or not. The only way you can find out is to shoot it. That's the only way it could work.

[Biohazard EX]

Not that there are zombies in RE games anymore.

In the PC game American McGee's Alice, Alice was in a coma and when you ran out of health she would go completely insane in the real world.

In 3.5 they could have done something like that? When you die, Leon could succumb to the virus and go completely bonkers.

:3

[Biohazard EX]

Yeah, but then you'd have to have 2 games in one, basically. You'd have to have one where Leon is fighting for his own sanity, and one where he (or another character) is looking for the cure for Leon, fighting off real monsters.

[Town of Green]

They could just go with the Dino Crisis 2 route and split them up. Like, for the first part you play as Leon. After that, you play as "extra character" and then later switch back to Leon and so on.

Or they could make it like Eternal Darkness and have Leon awake and still looknig for whiel hallucinating.

That's not a bad thing!
:]

Definitely not. The more Resident Evil, the better. Unless we're talking about Paul Anderson movies.

I've never actually played ED, yet everyone says it's a great game. I've gotta get my hands on it soon.

[Vogue_Dirge]

Paul Anderson is not making Resident Evil movies. It just an unfortunate thing that so many things are similar. [/denial]

But anyway. A plot like you stated (Leon fighting for his sanity, and another person [ADA!] trying to find a cure), would have been a very interesting plot. That's what I meant by 'That's not a bad thing!'. Lord knows that Resident Evil needs a deep and thoughtful storyline, somehting the series has been lacking since RE2 IMO. From what I've seen so far the RE5 plot will hopefully satisfy me.

[missvalentine]

you all have great idea's, RE 3.5 could have truly been a great game, i hate RE4 even more now because of this.

[Biohazard EX]

I'm not saying it would be a bad thing, I'm just saying, it would take a hell of a lot of time and effort. Which, maybe back then, Capcom was willing to put in. Interestingly enough, Capcom turned the Hookman down because they felt like it wasn't "Resident Evil" enough. Same with the black fog. I guess they settled for parasites.

PS: I think Eternal Darkness is severely overrated. The game is okay, but I wouldn't put it on a pedestal like most people do.

[missvalentine]

i saw Eternal Darkness up at my EB games,i was wondering if i should get it.

but i don't know how capcom came up with the hook man is not RE enough yet a bunch of parasites and saving the president daughter is.
