The Resident Evil Zero Topic

[xfactor]

I don't like the backtracking with the hookshots item. That and the appearance design of Marcus, as well as the story. It could have been so much better by focusing more on the Bravo members and their deaths for the sake of atmosphere building. Instead, we got a very awful storyline with lots of plotholes (Wesker/Birkin reopening Marcus' lab, while Wesker was already planning to leave Umbrella that day and Birkin was staying in his lab for his G-Virus research for example).

I like the monster designs though, particularly the Plague Crawler and the reappearance of the Hunter. The cages where the Hunters emerged is a small and missable touch which explains where the Hunters in RE1 came from (as there's no Hunter container in REmake).

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

is it Zero really that bad?

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.

This game is just so goddamn sloppy and illogical even for a RE game. The logistics of Marcus rotting skeletal remains being revived by his mutant leeches, by entering through his mouth and... somehow rebuilding his cells, even though his brain was a rotten pile of mush at this point. Not only reviving him, but letting him morph into a younger version of himself at will, and morph into leeches, and then have the ability to telepathically control these leeches, or control them with opera singing, whatever. It's just too stupid to even attempt making it seem plausible.

Actually (correct me if I am wrong) I read somewhere (from RE Archives?) that Marcus didn't really gets resurrected. The real Marcus remains dead. The Marcus you see throughout the game (young and old) are actually the leeches who thought they are Marcus himself. Simply put, the leeches somehow 'absorb' Marcus' memories through his corpse and resurfaced in RE0.

the only thing I didnt like is the backtracking with the hook, the rest of the game I loved it.
Specially the part where you are going to the same sites as resident evil 2. First time I got there was WTF OMG YAY! XDDD

That's correct. A short while after his assasination, a "queen" leech found it's way to his corpse where they dumped his body, and went inside him. There, the virus lied dormant for years and years while it slowly copied his entire DNA, memories, etc. It's a liittle bit of a stretch, I know lol.

Yea it's pretty cool, it took me a minute to realize where the hell I was. You see, you gradually work your way down there and of course that's the last place you expect to find. Once it hit me I was like, until it wouldn't let me go in any of the doors Still cool though.

i want to play this just for the RE2 flash back.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

this was def one of my fave in the series. i dont get why so many people nock it. although the bosses were crap except or the leech queen and the proto tyrant i thought it was pretty damn good. graphic wise it was better than REmake. wel at least i thought so lol could just be my eyes lol.

[nemesiswontdie]

i thought the graphics where the same as REmake?

[I_Am_Nemesis]

i thought they ere better during the main cut scenes but actually in game id say they were the same

[mamock116]

0 had slightly better graphics because they used more polygons i think

[Town of Green]

Just about the only thing I cared for in Zero were the Proto-Tyrant and the Leechmen.

The Leechmen were a unique spin on the zombies and the Proto-Tyrant was just awesome. The way it twitched really made it seem defective.

[TheBlackMamba]

i thought Zero was really good, I liked almost everything about it, well except for the Marcus being young thing, but otherwise that i liked it

[umbrella corpse]
