Sorry. Just trying to be helpful.

Still, go with RE4 over all of them. Great controls, and nice and scary.

Yeah man video games aren't about gameplay at all it's about the atmosphere. Not being able to fight, run away, get to the next save point because you keep dying unfairly is SCARY MAN.

I was gonna ask on the GameFAQs boards for you, regarding the control. But then I saw someone bitching about how they're 16 and couldn't buy the game used and it's all Rockstar's fault for the Hot Coffee thing and my head exploded.

Silent hills controls were finer tuned than RE from my experience, in RE it took at least a hour to grasp the controls properly and get into the flow. In SH I remember it forcing you to get used to them in the begining of the game.

No metter what anyone says, RE4 was scary up until you got to Disneyland the 2x El Gigante fight was awesome on Pro!

okay, seriously, how the FUCK could anyone, with the exception of arrow here, not understand the controls in RE right away? I mean fuck, you hardly even had to AIM in that game.

i understood them, I just hated them. They were counter-intuitive to anything I have played on any 3d game previous to that.

It's not a matter of understanding. It's a matter of good design. I understand that pressing right will turn my character toward their right. I understand that pushing down will make my character walk backward.

But when my character is facing toward the screen, and pressing down and right causes them to walk backward and to the left, that's just retarded.

Especially when so many other games follow certain basics, and then jumping from those games to something like RE is very difficult. It's like spinning around really fast, and then trying to walk a straight line.

what you're talking about seems more like a camera issue to me. the controls have to work around the camera.

but really, it took me all of two minutes to get the RE controls down ;<

Yeah it's playable, sure you wont be running across walls Jackie Chan style or doing moonsaults over zombies heads while firing off duel magnums but its fully playable. The tank controls take some getting use to but they don't hinder the game at all, like I said, it's all about atmosphere.
And silent hill is 3D, so controlling your character is a bit easier compared to Resi.

Not so much understand as to get used to them and be able to use them quickly and effectiveley.

Oh, that's right. I forgot Resident evil had gay Pre-rendered backgrounds like the 3-D Final Fantasies

Ok now that I have ordered Silent Hill off of Barnes and Noble all that's left to do is wait.

But in the mean time, this thread is now about Metroid: Third Derivative. BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME.

Did anyone play RE3 on the PC?

I discovered it floating around the interweb and gave it a try. Aside form glitches with the background its graphics are like RE3 on the PS1 times a hundered. Nemisis is harder, the controlls are smoother on a directional pat that encompases more than a thumb, and the soung quality is much better.
