Biohazard EXTREME

This guild really needs some new mods. We got ridiculously off topic.

Well I can honestly say that I know where Biohazard EXTREME is coming from. I remember loving RE4 when I first popped it in, but thinking... why the hell is this game even called Resident Evil? Well, s**t. Here, I'll just post my review of it for Amazon.com:

'Resident Evil?'
Resident Evil 4 is definitely a fresh and fun new experience, but... is this Resident Evil? Yeah, Leon's here, but where are the zombies? I'm sorry, but that's what Resident Evil is about. I realize that you couldn't really have this intense new gameplay with slow moving, decaying corpses lumbering at you, but c'mon now. At least throw in a COUPLE of zombies... or some Lickers, or Hunters, or Tyrants; an underground Umbrella lab, I don't care.

My main gripe with RE4 is the story. In RE2 Leon is a rookie cop who comes to Raccoon City to start his *1st* day on the job, but ends up fighting for his life against zombies and other Umbrella experiments. 6 years later while on his *1st* government assignment searching for the President's daughter, he comes across a these parasite monsters and their cult. Oh, and what do ya know? Umbrella is after a sample. Amazing how this guy just stumbles across some kind of freaky new monster every time he starts a new job. It wouldn't have bothered me if he went to Europe looking for these things, knowing that Umbrella was trying to get a sample or something, but no; it was all complete coincidence.

What ever happened to the original RE4 storyline of Chris, Jill, Barry, and the S.T.A.R.S. members all going to Europe to investigate Umbrella headquarters that was foreshadowed in Chris' Diary in RE2 and that Capcom had always talked about? I guess that story is scrapped now...bummer.

And when I see these new monsters I think of 2 different Dreamcast games that came before it. The 1st is "House of the Dead". That game had zombies that ran up on you hacking and slashing at you with knives, sickles, claws, etc. The 2nd is "Carrier", which was a shameless Resident Evil rip off. In this game people were getting infected by this mutant plant virus and then vines would sprout from their necks; ripping their heads off. And then vines would try to attack you. These "Las Plagas" are like a cross between the two.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great game. But for the hardcore zombie-loving RE fan, it leaves something to be desired. I didn't like the whole setting with the cult, and that stupid little Salazar guy talking to you on the codec all Metal Gear wannabe style. Complaints aside, the gameplay is action packed and intense. I just hope Umbrella and the zombies are back for RE5. They can throw these parasite monsters in too, but Resident Evil just isn't Resident Evil without zombies.


So yeah, that pretty much sums up my feelings on it. Capcom definitely took it into a completely different direction. And I always said that I would like the game a whole lot more if was just a separate title with a separate name, and separate characters. And people were always bitching about RE's gameplay style with the pre-rendered backgrounds and "tank" control scheme (which was completely ripped-off from Alone in the Dark, I don't give a ******** what anybody says. That's right, RE is a rip-off. A good rip-off, but a rip-off nonetheless). But I never had a problem with it. I always liked it. And when you get used to it, it becomes second-nature. That said, I do like the very influential gameplay style of RE4 (you can plainly see that even MGS4 borrowed a few things from it), and am very much looking forward to RE5.

I haven't played Umbrella Chronicles, and so I'm curious as to what they did with the story in that game....

wow i didn't realize this was a resident evil thread....espically with the title reading 'Future Metal Gears.' This is a MGS guild not RE.....take this argument/disscussion to the off-topic subform......wait this guild dosn't have an off topic subform.........well then take it to an RE guild.....


As for the metal gear solid series........

I'm not sure but like stated eariler i think Kojima said he wasn't ogin to work on any more Metal Gear games........

Besides if you think about it if they made a direct sequel to 4 then they'd have to come up with a completely new story and make sure that it dosn't contradict(sp) the earlier games in the series........plus almost everyone who had a major part to play as a villan/hero was killed

Liquid - dead
Solidus - dead
Big Boss - dead
The boss - deader than elvis
Solid - dies in about a month or two after the events of the game
Zero - dead
Patriots - dead (or erased or destroyed or whatever)

this would mean that they would have to come up with almost an entierly new cast of characters.......so a direct sequel would mean alot, and i mean ALOT of work.........

CLONES!

Can't argue that they're dead.
But....

Roy Campbell - Alive
Meryl - Alive but screwed herself over marrying Johnny
Otacon - Alive
Mei Ling - Alive
Nastasha - Alive
Raiden - Alive

We still have the supporting cast.

this would mean that they would have to come up with almost an entierly new cast of characters.......so a direct sequel would mean alot, and i mean ALOT of work.........

No it wouldn't you just need a replacement for Snake, Ocelot, and a bad guy.

poof, you got a decent sequel, all you need is a director that isn't stupid.

STFU. >_>
So we got off on a bit of a tangent. I was doing a lot of comparing between the two series'. Everyone here was involved in the discussion, and the last post was on July 18. That's over two weeks ago. So obviously the whole RE tangent had been dropped. So shove it up your a**, kid. You're no mod. talk2hand

Nastash is alive!? O.o


clones? but there's no one left who would crate clones since the patriots are *insert term for not exsisting here*

your right though the supporting role is still there....so i guess that's alot less work than i first thought.....and i also agree with you about the director......

I'm glad we agree Mr. Bruce Campbell lookalike.

Just because the Patriots are 'dead' doesn't mean we can't clone **** we clone sheep all the time!

And no need to get all mod on my a** when you're not even a mod. I don't even see how it's a big deal. If I were running this guild, I honestly wouldn't give a s**t, unless you were disrupting some kind of real MGS discussion taking place at the same time. Of course, I don't run this guild. And neither do you.

Thanks. xd I tried to make it look like the box cover art for Army of Darkness. And I put him in the arena. So if you wanted to vote for him, that'd be cool.

I think that if they were to do it, they'd either have to start completely fresh, or do prequels. I'd be pissed if it turned out Solid Snake's final mission was for naught.

prequels seem like the easier thing to do since alot of character that are already established could be used....plus you'd have something to work off of.....

I'd like to see what they'd do if they started off completely new (unless they just completely screw it up).

War will always be necessary.



And Prequels would be definitely easy, except for David Hayter, his voice ain't gonna last if he keeps up being Snake.

If he takes care of his voice, it'll last him a lifetime.
Look at heavy metal bands, ones who roar and scream, and do it a lot more than David Hayter's voice over sessions.

And ask them to do that in their 40's

David Hayter has already gotten substantially worse at doing the voice

It would be cool if they remaked the old orginal "Metal Gear" games.
