Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[randomwab]

Wait, how did the first zombie not take damage from the grenade round?

[Cuz7ate9:(]

I'll be honest: I haven't played the original in probably 8 years. It used to be a game I would never stop playing, and I liked it too much to put it away. But ever since the 2002 remake came out, I couldn't stand the thought of playing the original. Still... I am not knocking it, cos it's a classic. But you have to admit, the remake is a dream come true for any Resident Evil fan! How can you compare the GameCube to the PSOne?

Too bad the quick turn action wasn't around until RE3

one thing that must be annoying is not been able to skip doors/cutscenes. dot would have had this done days ago i think.

[Rock it.]

After I finished REmake on the GC, I've never bothered to play it again. Seriously? I didn't like that game. Resident Evil's control scheme was already dated back when it was released (Fatal Frame, anyone?), and without the charm of the original, it couldn't hold itself together IMO; things like the defense items and crimson heads only added to unnecessary frustration and added nothing substancial/noteworthy to the gameplay. Then again, that's just me.

and for some reason, a zombie doesn't die when hit with acid rounds.

Barry does say the acid rounds are powerful against living things, but why wouldn't they be against zombies?

I don't know. Thats an INSTA kill to any creature sans the super zombie (I'm guessing) or bosses.

That's why I like RE: DS. You can skip doors and cutscenes in that.

I got hit by the wrath of zombies being pushed back not pushing other zombies near them back too. I accidently ran into a pack of them in the basement tunnel as Jill in DS Rebirth mode, the first one bit me, then they sort of circled me and each time I pushed one off, the other was straight onto me.

I actually had a similar problem with RE: DS when I did a 10 minute play the other day to check the chemical on the plant. When I was going into the U shaped corridor on the second floor, I went through a door and there were two zombies there, one either side. When I pushed one off, another one bit me from behind, and vice versa.

The nasty and sinister "ping-pong" effect. It's devious and shows up in most of the games, if your unfortunate enough to fall into the evil trap, curl up into the fetal position and cry for mommy, because your SOL!!!

[BrionIrons]

Not especially. He and I don't really see eye to eye. He insulted a few members and I found him...less than receptive to reason when he was here. I even recall something posted about me on BioHaze once, but I can't remember if that was Hec or just in a thread he was involved in.

Besides, I work directly for Dominion on Dark Biohazard, so I asked him instead.

Have you contacted Dominion yet?

[Darkmoon]

Yeah, I heard back from him a day or so ago. He is, as you said, doing a few small modifications to make the RE2 Director's Cut version for PC.

[Dot50Cal]

I thought it was Directors Cut for RE1 PC? I honestly don't see it happening though. DC has a lot more features like many more enemy placement changes depending on where you enter the room, as well as up to 5 zombies in one room at a time (re1 was limited to 4 max). The main feature would be the arrange/advanced mode, which would take a lot of effort to do properly.

[Darkmoon]

I meant the demo that comes with the Director's Cut, so there's a PC version if you will. That's all Dominion is helping with. I have no idea about the rest of it though.
