Current Events > I hope REmake4 remains as arcadey as possible

(+) Yeah! (+)

No other game except maybe Halo has Headshots as satisfying as RE4

You appear less outwardly enthusiastic about this than a few days ago.

The hype train a settled down a bit. I'm still very excited for it.

Plenty of time to shitpost about it, till Thursday and beyond

My dream would be for them to double the amount of weapons (even add some more melee upgrades and throwables)

EVERY gun has a special exclusive that sets it apart from the rest (maybe even 2 vastly different exclusives to make them require a choice at the end of the upgrade path. Some weapon balance would be nice as well. Village had the issue of later game weapons made the earlier counterparts absolutely worthless. The starting guns should have a gimmick that makes them compete if you pump enough cash into them.

All classic enemies return with the addition of some new types (I want those damn Plagas cats).

This is the prime chance to add shit from the 3.1 and 3.5 builds. Hook man, the dolls, the black cloud. Do it all. They can easily handwave why you are fighting ghosts and haunted dolls and shit with the whole "Leon is infected and seeing shit" thing.

Greatly expand the village. I dont care if they have to axe the ruins or island 1 to fit it in. Just do it.

Lots and lots of unlocks and extras. New game plus, lots of costumes, time attack modes, ability to play as Krauser or Wesker, Assignment ADA and Seperate Ways.

No mercs mode. Mercs fucking sucks. Raid Mode is much better.

I hope there's lots of stuff in the game and I somehow came to the conclusion that mercs sucks (Possibly by playing the RE8 incarnation and no others)

If they do that how are they going to tear you away from it and get you to line up for the next game? That's not the post-2012 Capcom way.
You'll get maybe three or four jogs through the game and you'll like it.

Mercs has always been garbage since its RE4 version. In RE3 it was much more like Raid or EX battle mode but a time limit added on. Ever since they made it what it is today, it is just an annoying slog to try and grind out all the 5 star shit to get the big prize and then you never touch it again.

Are you actually saying you don't like playing as Leon on Waterworld or that you don't like RE4's combat or something? Because 4 was the only game that put a big prize at the end, 5 and 6 were just fun for the sake of fun. I genuinely don't run into 'mercs sucks' complaints much.

Lots of people play it again. Look on Youtube. It asks you to optimise and lets you chase high scores. It's also a fast way to switch the game on and go right into some action without making saves in other spots.

What's the difference between mercs and raids?

But you guys hate how arcady it got with re6

What's the difference between mercs and raids?

Mercs: Differs a little in each game. In 4 it's how many enemies can you kill within a timer. In 5 it's how fast can you kill 150 enemies, melee kills reward bonus time and at the end all remaining time is piled on to your score. Co-op 5 mercs is the best. 6 is like 5 but more than 150 enemies spawn so you get some choice in what you want to tackle. Melees give time, coup de graces give more time, counter attacks give the most time. 6 is domineered by a coup de grace/grenade trick. You use preset characters and loadouts instead of customising something so you can either pick the designated good characters or challenge yourself with Leon or BSAA Chris.

Raid: You run through a level and it gives you parts/customisation options at the end. You level up permanently too. Eventually you make an unstoppable juggernaut and the mode is just a repetitive power trip. You can drop your level if you want to challenge yourself.
