Oooh

Is it a 30 minute timed thing like the last one?

Still 17:00 or so for us PC'ers, grr.

I don't remember Resident 3 being particularly great so I hope they've made plenty of changes.

I'm going to download on my ps4. No idea how long it's going to take considering half the world are at home playing fortnite.

It's not just you, I felt it was missing from the modernisation of Resi 2. But that's what it is I guess, purists would presumably hate controls to make a complete jump along with the visuals.

With the longstanding template, yes. If they'd overhauled a bit more, perhaps not.

If I was into the Resi games in a big way I'd probably want Capcom to reboot them pretty much as they have. The updated/outdated thing is a treat for fans, but the 'that's what makes it survival horror!' controls don't suit modern times without nostalgia imo.

They're not tank controls in the way you'd describe Chris' movement from the fist game...but 'more manoeuvrable tank' fits what I played of the no.2 remake (credits with Leon). That's how these games are set out, but if someone were to break the cycle it could be interesting.

Aparently it has a dodge button on 3, something I thought was missing from 2.
Love all the extra story missions in extra of 2,
When did they get added?

Have you guys tried the demo?
Dead Space 1 did move the formula forwards, apart from the head stomp the menu was great as you were using it in real time. It really added a sense of panic.

Anyway this is a homage to one of my favourite video game series from back in the day so i can give it some leeway.

6 did it, like I just said! Anyway, I guess I just disagree here, I think you need to limit something in Survival Horror and movement is the most obvious one because it is a constant you can keep through the entire game.

6 did but it was rounded on for being a bit bobbins by a chunk of the fanbase iirc. Plus it didn't really, it just added a spot of dodging to an existing template I thought (haven't played it myself so perhaps that one was an overhaul rather than a rejig)? I'm just musing and you could very well be right with the restrictions thing, but I think there's scope for a survival horror that removes them. Edit: The Resi reboots could well be the wrong games to try something like with that though. As I say I'm coming at this from the perspective of a half fan of the series so it wouldn't bother me if they bodged it.

6 had an amazing movement engine, and it's far better than 5. Definitely feel like it got panned by the community at large because people wanted it to return to basics but Capcom were combating CoD and felt like they needed to do something very similar in terms of scope and scale. It's an utterly lavish game in terms of UI, graphics, options, scale, scope, movement, it's just an exhausting amount of content and polish, and IMO it's a good game. Movement is nonsense, you can run, slide and reload/shoot, backflip and shoot, sidestep and shoot, quick attack, quick reload, crawl on your back, dodge into a fall back and shoot - way more scope than most games.

RE6 was pure re anime action, very much inline with the jp prerendered cgi movies capcom released up to re6. I kinda like 6 but the public felt re5-6 strayed too far from the og re1-3 formula of survival horror. It's almost as if the protagonists feel superhero powerful which dampens the survival horror aspect. The melee ott combat feels absolutely overpowered yet strangely satisfying.

Gawd, people slagging off six is a batsignal at this point for Tempy.

R1 on ps4 is dodge button.
Right bumper on other console etc I presume.

It's very very pretty but it's just a bit, well, boring.
