Hand To Hand Combat

Let me guess, the sword that Chris would get wwould turn out to be Excalibur and he'd suddenly shoot lightning from his hands for a critical hit everytime. -_-

that'd be cool as fuck

Because when RE becomes Final Fantasy, it's awesome. Yet when the movies contain zombies, it's shit. >_>

Even zombies can't save those godawful movies.

So what makes them so bad? Is it the laser hall? Last I checked, Alice never had to Neo through lasers like Leon did.

Is it that everything centers on Alice? Last I checked, Leon was the one spewing lame one-liners like a John McClane wannabe while expecting every woman to be all over him and trying to be a pimp. "Ada, no way!" "Ashley, no. Just no." "Ingrid, hit me up, 'kay?"

Hot chicks + big guns = Resident Evil movies. know what I mean.....

Mostly? The movies were just awful. Oh, RE4 wasn't great either, but let's face it, the two most recent games have borrowed heavily from those damned movies as well. I mean, which part of the movies was awesome?

Was it when Alice beat Nemsis into submission in close combat?

Was it when most of the cast for the first movie got diced by lazy beams?

Or was it when the zombies became vegetarian and started eating the plants, since that's the only reasonable explanation for how Extinction works?

RE4 has a paper thin plot made mostly of cliches strung together with action. But at least it was fun to watch. The RE movies felt like I was sand papering my eyes.

Also, I see no reason why the knife couldn't get an upgrade to a sword. That's not an RPG. That's, 'I'm in a place where there are a lot of frickin swords, ammo is scarce and a longer reached with my blade might be good.' Africa still contains plenty of spears and swords and such. And, apparently, flaming crossbows. Meh.

Although his extra bulk doesn't really give him an edge on Wesker; given the trailers where Chris is getting his ass kicked

I'm not sure about hand to hand combat (besides the melee moves on stunned enemies) but I wouldn't mind seeing things like swords, iron pipes and chainsaws etc. being able to be picked up and used.

I only like this idea to an extent. They had the idea in Outbreak (I glee'd when I found I could hit a zombie with a lead pipe) but overall things like that existing + the limited carry space RE games in general have, not many would bother with it, so I see the fun of the idea, but I don't think it'd go over well.

Overall, I like what we have in RE, and don't really care for or desire the idea of hand to hand. If they had a one time special fight with it, I'd be cool with that to see how it goes.
