I was playing CVX HD last night and I couldn't help but notice how dark it was. Like everywhere you go it's just really hard to see. I remember that back when played it on PS2 it was really dark then but for a remastered port you'd expect them to turn up the brightness a bit. Has anyone else noticed this? Oh one more thing.. why is Capcom so dead set on changing the old games controls? At least with RE4 you could change the button configuration but with CVX your stuck with only one control scheme.

A little bit. When you first get to the Antarctic base, it's unbelievably dark, until you get the power running. I almost stopped playing my first run through because it was just too dark.

What about the controls? I don't understand.

I like consistency in them though. Such as how they all play almost exactly the same, the buttons and all on the GC. RE4 included.

I'm talking about Capcom's obsession with using the square button as the fire button instead of the fire button. Ever since RE1 came out on PS1 the shooting controls were R1 plus X to fire and you they just randomly decided to change it to square. I can get used to it after awhile it's just there was no reason to change the controls when they were fine in the first place plus not giving an option to use the old controls doesn't help.

I have almost all RE games on gamecube. I like the controller the most for RE games. But yeah, CV is dark, so use your lighter.

Oh christ yes, it's dark, alright. I gave Rodrigo the Hemostatic medicine which, as you know, causes you to turn over your lighter in return for Mastery of Unlocking. I shudder to think of how many herbs I missed becuase they blended into the shadows.

You don't encounter any crows as Chris if I remember well.

Believe me, you won't need you're ligher that much. I would get the lockpick.

But it has come in handy so far keeping the bats away lol. Also I remember this one room in the artic base being pitch dark and I couldn't see a thing. I had to get to the control panel to be able to turn the lights on and I got through the room by using the light of my gun shots which caused me to waste a bunch of ammo. I figure if I have the lighter at that part this time I could atleast try and attempt to avoid the zombies.
