From the demo it really doesn't strike me as old school at all, it actually feels a little more streamlined than RE4 while doing a fine job at retaining the old atmosphere.
Do you guys think this game has a chance of becoming a big hit for Capcom/Nintendo? Being a main line RE, I'd think so. I'm sure Capcom is going to advertise it a lot, and Nintendo is going to help promoting it since it looks better than any other 3DS game out there.
If this game performs well, I think the chances of even better Japanese 3rd party support will increase.
Here are some avatars I made for those who are interested:
It's kind of funny just how many 3DS games are preferred in 2D thanks to AA and general performance boosts. It just about guarantees a good boost for 2D when the games are always balanced around 3D, and any game that fails to take advantage is just wasting those resources.love the demo, may play in 3D but damn 2D looks amazing
You can stagger them by shooting them in the legs but it's not as effective as in RE4, which is fine by me, the feel and flow of the combat is different.
I'm not so sure tbh. I doubt they will put a lot of marketing into this one and with the reveal of RE6 right before the release of RE:R I also doubt the general public (so to speak) will consider this mainline. Then again RE:UC did pretty good and I doubted its success so I may be in for a surprise again.
The jaggies are not too bad imo - what really hurts the effect is the shimmering on some textures which is not apparent in 2D. I still like the 3D effect though, will probably go for 3D in the normal playthrough and 2D in the hell playthrough.
Well we got to do our part then. I'd be fine with the console titles going the bro-gaming route if they give us a handheld line that's more in the spirit of the series.
OK I'll try that, usually have the slider cranked all the way up. But if you turn down the slider on normal the 3D effect is not really that pronounced.
That's how I feel, and why I was annoyed with the SE "tax" on the DS (and wonder if lingering resentment is salt on the wound for higher price tags). It was fine on FFIII, it was clearly a higher end effort, but it was annoying when it was indiscriminately used on every other title and I had had enough when the Valkyrie Profile came out WITHOUT the extra $5-10 going for a release that retained VA. I guess there's still the argument that localization itself is costly and the games simply aren't going to be justified to release without a higher price point, but crap like that really doesn't make it convincing it's worth the extra cash.
