Played the demo. I thought REmake 2 looked gorgeous but this just took it to another level. The amount of detail pouring out of this game in nearly every crevice is insane. The neon lights against the dark of the night really make the buildings etc pop out. The lighting is phenomenal.
What I liked:
- The graphics are beyond stellar, the lighting is magnificent.
- The sound design in this game is absolutely magnificent, My heart was pounding at points when I kept hearing pounding at the door, or the slight whistle of the wind, expecting Nem to pop out.
- There is a bit where you go into the restaurant and you instantly hear the "rock ending" of RE2, I literally had a huge grin hearing it. Why wasnt it in REmake 2?
- Felt like I had many options in how to proceed, just like every other great RE game, even though there is really only 1 way.
- Dodge move is just like Revelations 2.
- The slightly more serene RE3 save music. Just beautiful.
What I disliked:
- Did the controls regress? Aiming was a lot more encumbered compared to RE2make. Turning etc seemed been worsened? Im sure theyll tighten this up.
- Nemmy is just way too fast. I was testing it out, and maybe its just me.
- So you cant combine your weapon with the ammo like the originals, you can only reload normally, who made this design decision lol.
REmake 2 was my GOTY last year, REmake 3 may end up as mine again (but this year is too stacked). I cant wait.
The trailer at the end of the demo is spectacular. I think this might turn out to be potentially the best RE game yet.
