heh are we supposed to believe these are some kind of magical candles ehehe

The original mansion looked cheap and poorly build, like something a housepoor nouveau riche would live in.

I like the original. A well-lit environment is a lot more unnatural. Gives a false sense of security, like you wouldn't expect zombies to be in the light, yet there they are.

I prefer the remake because it tries much harder to be a horror game and succeeds in every possible way. Though I do see how the original resembles cheesy 60s mansions with the tacky wallpaper and interiors.

I like the remake. A non lit environment is a lot more unnatural. Gives no sense of security, like you wouldn't know to expect zombies to be in the dark, yet there they are.

You know, it's funny.

RE1's mansion by itself is perfectly fine.

But compared to REmake's dark mansion? It looks like it's lit like Barbie's mansion or some shit.

Ah yes, the zombies lit the candles.

>>10171651

One of the few times when the remake actually has soul. I actually prefer it aesthetically

>>10171119
you sound like this guy. pathetic

>>10171660
Yeah, about a month before STARS showed up.

>>10170931
I'll never understand REmake fags when they talk about how much better the mansion is.OG was pretty grounded outside of the caves where the REmake goes full hog on the scooby doo design.

They bought the candles in bulk at Spirit Halloween along with the spooky skeletons to decorate the room under the main hall.

Nov. 15, 1967

I found Mom. We ate together. I was very happy.

But she was a fake. Not my real Mom. Same face but different inside.

Have to find Mom. Have to give face back to mother.

I got Mom's face back.
Nobody can have my Mom except me. I attach her face to me so she doesn't go away.
Because Mom sad when I meet her without her face.

To this day, this file makes me laugh because it reminds me of Lowtax's old JeffK articles and some other early internet memes. Like the dude who threatened suicide because he "jsut wanted to bbe a moderator." Which were still semi-relevant back when it came out

>>10171119
Those other things have an in universe explanation. The candles thing doesn't.

What is your deal

>>10171651
in the lore of resident evil, the mansion incident was planned, and so was the STARS response. Whether it was Wesker lighting the candles or whomever staged the mansion to do so, is unnecessary information and can only be discussed on a temporary basis by smooth brained anons on norwegian bird watching forums

from a design point of view, it's supposed to mislead you to think someone actually lives there then

>>10170931

>>10170931
It makes me happy that at least some of you guys are more and more starting to see that REmake has its issues. Its a fantastic game don't get me wrong a very good remake but it should be looked at as an alternative take on the original. Not a replacement.

>>10172146
Like a Bunsen burner?

>>10172207
Being one of the odd people that actually prefers RE1 out of the classic trilogy I’ve always had an issue with REmake 1’s design choices, particularly in the environment. Its way too dilapidated, and doesn’t feel particularly lived in. RE1’s mansion has the perfect feel of a functional house with a couple labs underneath. And it wasn’t afraid to have color. I liked REmake but I’ve always disliked the drab, generic haunted house look of everything. Kinda tickles the austism when the mansion implies its been running since the sixties, looks like its been abandoned since the sixties, but the outbreak happened a couple months ago.

>>10171964
Except you can't at all really because the original castle is nothing like the shining. At least the original mansion shares some tonal and visual similarities.

>>10170931
That Silent Hill esque boss and subplot were so out of place.

>>10172259
>Being one of the odd people that actually prefers RE1 out of the classic trilogy
Many do anon. I'd say its liked more than Nemesis. RE2 is probably the favorite of the PS1 era games and its my favorite to but RE1 is by no means this dated or shitty game just because REmake exists. I think its better than REmake. REmake's mansion feels like a standard haunted mansion you'd see on a Halloween special or something.

>>10170931
>>10171697
Why is it that people always complain about that stuff in REmake but nobody ever talks about RE2's literal medieval torture chamber complete with burning torches, axes on the wall and skulls on a shelf?

>>10172267
It's "The Shining" in the sense that the castle is relatively clean and very ornate, which contrasts the enemies and monsters you end up fighting there. In the remake, everything is dark and dirty and it's not subtle in the least. The remake's devs probably thought they were geniuses for overhauling the castle's design, but in reality they just took a big steaming shit on the nuance that was there.

>>10172370
People shit on Irons and his goofy rape room all the time.

fucking geriatrics. Zombies are evil creatures. They are creatures of the night. How is it more atmospheric for them to live in a blown out gamma ray mansion where their eyes would explode when it's way more realistic and scary for them to live in a dark mansion?
It actually makes more sense. How is it so bright? It doesn't make it sense. It makes more sense for the Umbrella workers to put in candles so that the zombies can live in peace

>>10173990
>How is it more atmospheric for them to live in a blown out gamma ray mansion where their eyes would explode when it's way more realistic and scary for them to live in a dark mansion?

Because they're not goddamn ninjas, you dumb fucking nigger. They're just people infected with a virus that makes them rotting cannibals who don't care if it's light or dark.
Nobody in the mansion thought to turn off the lights when athe virus outbreak happened. The mansion being left intact shows that its inhabitants fell victim to it quickly that there was no time to do anything except fucking die. That's great horror.
Have you never watched a single George Romero movie in your meaningless life?

>>10173990
>It makes more sense for the Umbrella workers to put in candles so that the zombies can live in peace
This.

>>10173990
Zombies would HATE candles. You could set them on fire ingame with those.

>>10174007
Why couldn't the residents of the mansion just use candles? Why do they need to use electric lights?

>>10172698
Lisa and every other "pursuer" enemy are the gayest shit to happen to this genre, nemesis and mr. x do not count since you could actually kill them. All these gay unkillable enemies are just annoying, instead of having a fun mini boss or a risk/reward system all I get is a enemy that shows up and I just run away/around because there is no other option. With Nemesis you could run if you really wanted to but most of the time you will want to fight because it's actually fun.
I could not imagine how shit RE3 would be if you couldn't kill nemesis.

>>10171941
Because Wesker is a badass who doesn't need light to see.

>>10170931
Those virgin de guadelupe candles they sell in tall glass containers at the grocery store for $0.99 will burn for a couple of days. I have a bunch of them in my house as emergency candles in case of a power outage or whatever.

It's still retarded, but maybe the wiring in the old mansion was not super great (or the wiring out to the mansion, considering its in the middle of the forest) and the power went out on a fairly regular basis, leading Umbrella to rely on backup generators for the lab equipment and candles for some areas of the mansion itself.

The thing I hated the most in the remake was how they literally removed all of the color and just made everything dark/grungy. The original game was bright and colorful, yet was still scary.

>>10174901
You should try Martian Gothic, you can't even kill normal enemies in that, only knock them down for a short time.
And most important rooms have tight spaces and reviving enemies in them.
And you switch between three characters who can't get close to each other, and two of them don't even start with a weapon (the one who does is trapped in a place with no enemies).
On top of that the game specifically goes out of its way to troll you.
It's amazing

>>10175202
Same fagging to add:
and when you finally get a weapon that looks like it can kill them for good, the motherfuckers casually become intangible when you point it at them

I actually bought that game when it came out because I was on that original RE high still and it completely ruined me for most RE clones, every time I am reminded of how much I hated Martian Gothic. Even Silent Hill wasn't as shit as that game.
I think the only RE clone I played that was worse was Deep Fear and that had more to do with the Saturn than the actual game.

>>10177679
been meaning to play Deep Fear but dropped MG quick. is it even worth it?

>>10177679
>Even Silent Hill wasn't as shit as that game.
It's literally the only good RE clone, are you retarded?

>>10177718
Eh, it is better than a lot of them but the melee combat is annoying, the enemies are extremely retarded, and the "story" is gay.
>>10177710
Honestly no it's not, if you have a saturn you might as well play it since it's one of the 5 games on the system but it's definitely not worth going out of your way to play.

Epic, not sure if you want to defend Silent Hill or Deep Fear but either way it's a retarded hill to die on. Both suck and both are objectively worse than the games they ripped off.

Oh boy, this board has crossed the line of contrarianism it's even calling REmake bad now?

>>10181491
It's been a couple of years but yeah, I remember how a decade ago pretty much everyone on 4chan agreed that it was probably the best RE game, at least out of the classic games. I don't know what exactly triggered that wave of extreme contrarianism but it wasn't like that before

>>10181491
>>10181514
It's strange. I get the feeling that a more modern hatred of remakes being soulless cash grabs and a desire to praise "the original" have driven some posters (read: zoomzooms) to shit on the GC remake. I played the original REs when they were the only REs, and excitedly got REmake when it too was new. I think both (or all, rather, if you count OG/DC/DSDC as separate versions) stand on their own and are worth playing.

The Gamecube remake wasn't some totally soulless corporate cash grab, a lot of people who worked on previous RE games worked on it and put in a fuckton of effort to polish an already great game.

>>10171941
Wesker wearing sunglasses at night is strictly for cool points. Same with Chris smoking.

I hated it the first time I played it. It's very flawed, and the controls and inventory management are awful. This time however I started enjoying it when I got further in. The 'puzzles' are somewhat adventure-game-like and it's satisfying to make progress. But that's probably less an indication of quality, and more a case of me liking it in spite of it being awful.

>>10179842
> They must find flaws in anything no matter how small the nitpick because it makes them feel smart for noticing -- like the opposite of spotting a reference.
>Also I can't believe people are arguing about goddamn candles. This board's autism has sunken to new lows it's almost sickening.
I never cared about the candles personally, but changes made in remakes and sequels always stand out more than something existing in a vacuum. People wouldn't complain about the art design in the Demon's Souls remake if it didn't ruin the intent and subtlety by changing things.
The developers went out of their way to make candles the primary light source in their updated vision for the Spencer Mansion, they were clearly making an artistic decision and that's a valid thing to criticize. Admittedly it's minor but everyone has a different threshold for suspension of disbelief.

>>10181491
It's not bad, but it was always overrated to an extent. The original is better in some areas. Like >>10172207 said, the remake is not flawless and it doesn't obsolete the original.

>>10175221
More details on this game please anon

>>10170937
All Umbrella's fucked up experiments were actually just part of the process of inventing unlimited candles.

Biggest downgrade for me was the music. RE1 has a very cool, distinctive synth soundtrack. Outside of a couple tracks like the save room theme it's all replaced with completely forgettable ambient garbage in the remake.

>>10184216
https://youtu.be/_JTbx_DraHA?si=nwoHdspba_QCwLsN
This is probably the best track RE1 has and even it still sucks ass, the remake isn't much better but it's a hell of a lot better than this.

>this stupid fucking website has people who unironically think REmake is bad now

What the fuck is wrong with you faggots? Not contrarian enough? Had to be contrarian against the contrarians?

>>10184624
Nigga that's dualshock. It's the version with the meme OST
This is the original save room theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_Bb8JA2pg

The remake OST is based on the original OST, not dualshock

>>10184668
Been saying it for years, people are just finally catching on that is infact not perfect, or even remotely good compared to the original.
Honestly I think this has more to do with people finally playing the original more than anything.

>>10184821
it's more like people have finally gone past the

>Wooowww look at those graphix!!!!

effect REmake had, which was literally 99% of all the reasons why everyone claimed it's so much better than the original

>>10184624

Many such cases!

>>10184821
>not even remotely good compared to the original

>>10184216
>>10184624
>>10184680
Not all of the music from that version is great but I still think its pretty good or at least good enough for setting the atmosphere of RE1. Yes the original soundtrack is better overall though. Mansion basement is a legendarily bad song at this point.

>>10184668
>Consensus is changing now that people are letting go of nostalgia or being less rabid about their parroted opinions

People hated Megaman Legends and SF Third Strike when those came out, now everyone loves it.

>>10184821
>Honestly I think this has more to do with people finally playing the original more than anything.
This is what I think too. Right around the time the patch that makes the old PC port playable on modern systems started getting popular is when I first noticed quite a few people talking about how the pacing in the remake is completely fucked compared to the original game. I guess it just kinda snowballed from there.

>>10171941

>>10171124
Yeah it was terrifying as a kid walking up the stairs and around the upper deck area. That whole game scared me shitless as a 5 year old. My brother used to torture me with it to because he knew I was afraid of it(my brother beat me up a lot and made me do horrible things sometimes). My mom told me I used to wake up in the middle of the night crying for God to help me because of my brother (I obviously repressed those memories). So, yeah. The remake at least for me just doesn't do it. I still get nostalgia scared playing resident evil like an old fear I've conquered but I feel it on the back of my neck.

>>10187156
>remake 3 in C tier while REmake 2 is in S tier
They are literally the same game.

>>10187328
are you dumb? remake 3 is just a streched up butchered DLC sold as a full game

>>10187330
As if the original wasn't? I'm sorry but REmake 3 just shows off how shit REmake 2 was. They are functionally identical games one is just a lot more drawn out than the other.

>>10187338
thats a poor observation. remake2 adds so much to the OG game while remake3 cuts almost everything

>we have genuinely, unironically reached the point where the dualshock mansion basement theme is the most recognizable song of RE1, to the point that people talk about it as if it was part of the original OST
How did it get so big? It's a funny bad song but it feels like it's basically one of the immediate things people associate with RE1 at this point.

>>10187392
REmake 2 only added in dramatic bullshit and time wasting trash like the sherry section while cutting enemies and locations. While REmake 3 cut everything fun and expanded on the worst parts of the original.
I don't get it mane are you blind or something? REmake 2 has more issues too but seriously what did it add to the original because as far as I see it nothing was added.

>>10187395
The RE series doesn't have a leitmotif or a theme song that persists throughout the franchise, so the funny song became more memorable.

There's more nitpicky examples I can give but over all yeah it is just retarded and the actual gameplay and puzzles are not good enough to offset it.
I also should note the original Dreamcast release was really ugly, like the environments looked awful and the game was extremely dark for no reason in some areas. CVX mostly fixed these although it's still dark as balls just not as much as the original release.

>>10187680
its still has the OG RE essence

>>10187680
Dreamcast seemed to have a problem with dark games now in contrast with how brilliant it handled brightly coloured blue skies games (most of the library).
I don't remember it being a problem back with a CRT back in the day but now when using an OSSC with an OLED for example, CV, Metropolis Street Racer etc are really fucking dark at times.
Need to test with my CRT TV but I only have VGA cables now.

>>10187729
no, it mimics the essence and not well. Capcom didn't even make it.

>>10183656
I don't know what else to add.
To summarize, it's called Martian Gothic: Unification. It's a janky Resident Evil clone set on a Mars research station with needlessly winding corridors and terrible decor, you switch between three characters, send items back and forth like Day of the Tentacle, have constant inventory problems despite each character having 18 inventory slots, you can't kill most of the enemies, you get instakilled by certain enemies (and if the characters get close to each other), and the controls are godawful. It makes you fight for every small advantage you get and then finds new ways to fuck you over. It's great.
I haven't seen it yet but the video at >>10175240 will probably tell you anything you want to know.

>>10187328
2 is a better remake than 3 is, even with the lack of a proper zapping system or whatever the hell it's called.
They use the same engine and homogenized some stuff between the titles, but they differ a lot on design elements and faithfulness to the originals. Also Remake 2's Mr X makes a much better Nemesis than Remake 3's Nemesis does.

>>10187680

If I properly understand the memo that went out recently, only the original RE1 release was good & every other classic RE game was reductive trash, you're allowed to say RE3 was okay if someone accuses you of not liking the series as a whole since no one will believe CVX/Zero but you must toe the line wrt REmake & RE2 being absolute dogshit.

CVX and RE0? Why yes they are good games

>>10188848
If you need to fabricate extremes to form an argument, you don't have an argument.

>>10188848
I have never deviated from my stance of REmake being graphically impressive and cool in some ways but ultimately worse than the original, so I view the recent change in attitude as people finally seeing the light

>>10188848
>only the original RE1 release was good & every other classic RE game was reductive trash
Yeah. This pretty much is the 4chan Certified™ opinion at the moment

Did you make that thread as a joke? >>10188862

Bright and colorful isn't very scary.

>>10171705
Nah her inclusion was based and tragic. have a heart dummy

Anon, you can kill Lisa too.
Saying you can kill MR X and Nemesis really doesn't count because they were damage sponges that would returm and Mr X flat out dropped nothing for killing him. There is no risk or reward if we are talking the original trilogy regarding MR X (though he appeared briefly in RE2 so he wasn't as troublesome). Nemesis appeared frequently meaning killing him had little impact on the plot and his rewards were more demanding as you played. But he doesn't "die". You basically knocked him out. I do agree Lisa should have been able to be stunned or knocked out but why waste the ammo anyways? She isn't mean to die in the mines. Only in the crypt.

>>10184821
I do agree the REmake is far better

>>10184823
Yeah better graphics do make is scarier anon. I know its a hard concept. Bright colorful rooms with pixelated effects do not age well.

>>10187215
No, that's insane

>>10190108
>Mr X flat out dropped nothing for killing him.
He drops ammo. Usually better stuff than the handgun rounds you use to shoot him down.

>>10190108
Killing Mr. X stopped him from chasing/blocking you in the room you are in, Nemesis was even more important to drop because he would follow you into other rooms. When I say kill I don't mean dead for good I mean they are gone until their next scripted encounter. Lisa the most you can do is have her do a little stun animation before getting right back up, it makes the areas she is in just annoying to deal with.

Yeah, I think they were going for an Overlook Hotel thing in the original. Imagine being alone in a brightly lit mansion at night, turning a corner and seeing a rotting, shuffling man at the end of a hallway that's full of dark windows.

REmake is great but the art direction is generic.

Low info, low IQ Sweet Home in the Dark secondaries just make me laugh.

They rationalize and lionize the aesthetic abortion of '96; its clashing colors, its boorish anime inspired character design and tropes, the lazy modernist architecture with day glow lighting, the non-sensical mansion layout, its complete tonal dissonance with what a man like Spencer would have built


Here's with dude hemopneuomo yelling "OUCH" yet they prattle on about how much more grounded '96 was and that Lisa was over the top LMAO

>>10171132
Why wouldn't a company have security and normal lighting. This doesn't make sense.

And ofc I would expect some lights to be out because of the water tank and shark.

But yeah why would zombies not be in the dark?? Are they afraid of the dark now??

>>10171660
Except 1 thing. That was 2 and a half months before. They were zombies so who's lighting the fucking candles? Only one able to would be Lisa Trevor?? And she's a zombie

>>10171697
Isn't that litterally test subjects?

>>10172370
Anon that's just the rape room. What rape room doesn't have axes and trophy skulls. It even talks about how he rapes the mayor's daughter and wants to skin her and put her there.

>>10173990
Except these zombies aren't night zombies..... They've been zombies for 2 months now. In a lighted mansion. Zombies aren't dracula.... There litterally zombies that are out day and night.

>>10175692
That sounds like a semi-succesful indie game
>A bioweapon research station disguised as a seemingly ordinary mansion. Filled with zombies, traps and puzzles. A group of mercenaries now stranded in here with no way out...
>But wait! The traps aren't set yet and the puzzles aren't finished. It's up to you to be one step ahead of the guys with guns to ensure every spring is sprung, every lever is in the right position, the doors unlock in the proper order and every key is hidden.

>>10174086
Itt. Its a genetics/bioweapons lab. They need electricity

>because it includes something that doesn't exist in real life, there can't be any standard of plausibility or internal consistency
I don't have the 'why won't you accept a modern car in a a fantasy world' meme on hand, but this is the embodiment of it.

>>10190778
RE1 has nothing to do with sweet home retard, I take it you have never played the original alone in the dark because it also has moments like this, I still find that better than the modern trash.

I don't share the candles autism, but I do agree the mansion is just too fucking different from the original, and being this lavish European XVIII century style is just dumb.
Original one looked like it could actually exist, like a house I may have visited, not a fucking Museum.
