[Mr. Spencer]

[Zero38]

^ my friend (a newcomer) Still can't play REmake....

I want the camera angles to be back but Ots isn't bad if done right
,
I Reall want to see the new modes, That would be refreshing

[Mr. Spencer]

REmake was probably the best game in the series.

[Zombie Fred]

REmake was probably the best game in the series.

True words right here.

also i cannot wait to paly this game...with no one i know

[Pikminister]

Well that was a quick mini-review/Preview.

And modes that go beyond kill-everything? I wonder what that could be? Aside from killing, you solve puzzles?

If by engine you mean the fact that Capcom has been reusing assets since REmake, then yes.

[Zero38]

REmake was probably the best game in the series.

I don't deny that, I just said he's still having troubles playing it.

@Pikmin, Solving puzzles with People Online is an Awesome idea!

Most likely it'll be Capture The Something. Flag, virus sample, etc. Mercs is too fast paced for any real puzzle solving beyond shoot it in the right bit.

...remake? RE3 has a couple of big chunks from RE2 and a few bits from 1.5. Capcom were recyclng way before it was cool.

I am aware of that.

However, it's a little different when a game that's released for the same console as its predecessor and in less than a year's time recycles assets.

It's something else entirely when a game that's been in the works for four or five years, and is on an entirely new, more powerful generation of consoles from its predecessor, is still reusing assets from a game that came out approximately seven years before it.

Now we have not one, but two, new games on brand new hardware that are still recycling assets from what will soon be a nine year old game.

[Sephiroth]

I still caint belive pepole are takeing Mercenaries so serious it's two mim games from 4 and 5 stuck together and remix it's nothing more than two recycled games Mercenaries is no better than The Umbrella Chronicles just copy and pase game.

Ahhh. Valid points.
