That's because that wouldn't work. Slow zombies are way too easy to kill with the OTS view. |
That's what I use to think, but if you remember from UC, if you give zombies enough health and balance out the power of the guns (eliminating most of the stopping power), it would make for somewhat of a challenge. Plus, make them a little faster.
I know for sure that Crimson Heads would make a very formidable enemy.
I'm not a purist, and I do love the Las Plagas, but I do have to agree with the purists a little bit: there is a certain charm to zombies that makes them fun enemies, so having another game with them with the OTS gameplay would be fun.
But if it doesn't happen I'm not going to get all angry and proclaim to the world how RE6 is an abomination because it's not like MY Resident Evil.  Even though my (RaviorStygian's) Resident Evil is basically any game called Resident Evil. :\ |
Agreed. Are you talking about having them in a main storyline game? Because ORC is going to have zombies with OTS camera.
I agree with Thom, Plagas are not scary. Not that I feel like they should be but still. It's still a bit different having a human enemy rather than some abomination, though._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

Well, they may not be scary (to you, anyway) but they sure as heck are lethal. They can be a little scary, when the Plaga just... erupts from a Ganados/Cultist/Militiamens head. And the fact they can see you, without any form of eyes, ears or nose. |

I think they're more annoying then scary. Well, the Majini's at least, they're just obnoxious. But still, I have to agree, they are lethal and are very dangerous.
Zombies aren't really scary either though. |

| If Ganados and Majini were more like Rage zombies (frothing at the mouth, more animal than human, and so on), they'd be more appealing to me. I just dislike the "mind slave" concept where they pretty much live out their lives as basically normal unless ordered to do something else.
Also, living dead zombies that can move quickly (as in fast walking or moderate sprints like Crimson Heads do) would work. I don't see how fighting them in OTS is any different than fighting Ganados or Majini when logic dictates that the latter would be dead with one headshot as well. |

Exactly what I was thinking. They could even be capable of projectile attacks with their puke, similar to UC. They would actually be more lethal than Majini in regards to grabbing you because instead of being able to push them off, you would inevitably be bitten at least once like in the classic-styled games.
This really could work and I hope to see it in the future.
Of course, the shotgun and machine gun, not to mention grenade launcher, would probably make it a cakewalk. However that just means there would have to be less ammo for them, not to mention way more zombies. |

A shotgun blast to the head and a 40mm grenade can kill a Ganado or Majini in one shot, too. How is it different with zombies? |

I actually find that to be what makes the plagas so scary. All of the other monsters are just mindless creatures that you know from the getgo are bad. But the plaga communities actually seem to care for one another and have a high level of intelligence, but in a second, they become vicious demagogues that will rip an outsider to pieces, and then act as it nothing happened. It's much more terrifying then the zombies.
As to how I got into RE. When I was in middle school, I would go over to a friend's house, and I would watch him play the original games, mostly the first three. I found the stories, gameplay, and atmosphere to be awesome, but I never got around to getting the games myself.
Fast forward to my second year of college; I'm in a music store, and as I'm looking through the used soundtrack bin, I saw the soundtrack for Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I had not seen the movie, but I liked Rob Zombie and I was interested in hearing some new bands. I actually ended up really liking it, and this drew me back to the franchise. I bought a three pack of RE4, C:VX, and Outbreak #1, and I was hooked. I got all of the games, watched the movies (and got their soundtracks as well, very disappointed that Afterlife did not have a soundtrack with original artists' music). |

Not to mention it adds a whole new level of sympathy to them, seeing as they're in some ways more victims than enemies. |

The little story they give during the credits of RE4 made the whole thing really depressing :/ In a cool way, though.
In retrospect, it was kind of like "Still Alive" during the credits of Portal. That still gives me the chills._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

I felt the same way. Honestly I felt more bad for them than the people of Raccoon City. They seemed like really humble people. It's a shame RE5 really didn't provide much of a backstory for the Majini. |

| And when the Plaga hatches, we're Still Alive.
And even without a head, we're Still Alive.
And when we invade the US, we're Still Alive.
And when the President is dead, we're Still Alive.
And when Leon is dead, we're Still Alive.
STILL ALIVE.
Still Alive. |
