The Resident Evil Zero Topic

[nemesiswontdie]

in your guys opinion what game is worse CVX or Zero?

[Dark_Chris]

Zero is worse, CVX isn't so bad

[nemesiswontdie]

yha i was just wondering cause i no alot of people didnt like Zero or CVX

[missvalentine]

the only real complaint ive heard about Zero is all the backtracking and the story line.

is it Zero really that bad?

i thought the graphics where the same as REmake?

The graphics are a little better than in Remake. But no RE0 is not bad at all. i think it's awesome, it's also one of the hardest if you play on the hardest difficulty.

i find not many faults in it, it's underated.

[nemesiswontdie]

its underrated cause it came out shortly after the REmake masterpeice and i guess the story is crap aswell.

[REmaster]

^ Yep. Those were the good old days when you could really get on a Resident Evil kick. Back then RE games came out like a year, year and a half tops after the previous game lol. The Remake is my favorite game of all time, so I was loving it, then Zero came out and I bought it immedietly and enjoyed it also. The way things are going now, I'll be almost 30 when RE6 comes out I'd like to say I'm done anyways, but old habits die hard. I'll probably keep playing the series no matter how much they twist and tear the original story and characters I grew up with

[Henry Spencer]

Yes. The story is crap. Very crap. It's all just very silly indeed.

RE0 was pretty good, i liked seeing birkin make an appearence in it along with wesker. But really and technically the story didn't match up. In 0 marcus unleashes the virus for revenge, yet in the remake you find this file:

Mail from Chief of Security

CONFIDENTIAL Attn: Chief of Security Date: July 22, 1998 2:13
X Day is drawing upon us. Execute the following procedures within one week. Prompt actions are demanded.
1. Lure S.T.A.R.S. to the estate, and obtain B.O.W.'s raw combat data against S.T.A.R.S.
2. Collect two embryos of each mutated specimens as samples, excluding the Tyrant. Dispose of the Tyrant.
3. Ensure complete disposal of the Arklay Laboratory including all personnel and test animals. Disguise their deaths as an accident. When the above procedures are executed, report to headquarters for further instructions.
If for some reason you are unable to execute the procedure by the deadline, report immediately. In case of emergency situations, report directly to the extension number 5691.

so the outbreak was already a complete setup

[Darkmoon]

No, it was simply a useful occurance for Umbrella to test there nasties. If you read some of the others you find out the scientists are clueless as how the T-Virus escaped, but it was several months ago.

i loved code veronica!! it was one of my faves when it came out originally for the dc

I just can't get my head around Zero. I never could do. I can't put it down to the backtracking, because Code Veronica had the most of that in the whole series in my opinion. I hated the inventory system and I didn't much like the story either. I think it could have been done a whole lot better and it just didn't feel like Resident Evil to me. I never thought of Rebecca as an interesting enough character to warrant a whole game with her in it. Whole thing just... didn't do it for me. As I've said before, the only Resident Evil game I've ever played which I've never gone back to. Even RE4, which gets a lot of flames, I've played LOADS of times.

Zero is good for one play through, enough just to get the canon storyline. But after a while the whole partner zapping and having to remember to bring certain items with you at all time so that you will be able to use them again gets really annoying. The whole leech storyline was kinda weak.

[Kaneco]

I don't think so man. I thought it was pretty good. The only things that bother me about it are:
1. Marcus (young) - Looks goofy as hell walking around in a night gown.
2. The backtracking is a bit annoying at times but that was a key part of classic RE lol.
3. Some of the bosses are kinda lame.
4. It's hard to except that all this happened before RE1, but whatever.

Other than that, the VA is good, the graphics are extremely good, the story is decent, and it also has an awesome intro/end to set up RE1. I think you should play this one before the remake since opening intro movie to zero matches so well to the opening of the remake.

I actually think that players of the series should play the REmake before the
prequel. The Prequel always foreshadows what's going to happen in the next
game or what to expect and shows a lot of sides/forces that play in the
story...Hero, villain & everything in between, while the original keeps you in
the dark until the very end.

I agree 100%. I think they used Rebecca because she is the only member of the Bravo team to survive and didn't want players playing a character that would later die. It would have been nice to see more interaction with other Bravo team members but I guess they didn't want to pay for voice actors. It's funny how many thought that being able to drop items anywhere would be a good thing for the series and in the end it wound up failing.

why does everyone say that this game was squeezed in to make a profit and that it doesnt add up to the other stories when in fact this game was in production back in like 98 before most of the games were even out? i mean it was a small release for the n64 in japan but than pulled to make way for the same exact game on the game cube but with the remake graphics engine.
