Playing the first Resident Evil is a pain by today’s standards, but back in 1996 that was exactly the point. Controlling a console FPS with the PS1’s clunky, SNES-inspired original controller just wasn’t feasible, so Mikami reworked his game into a horror-adventure, inspired by the original Alone in the Dark. The first game began development as a first person shooter, but Shinji Mikami and his team realized that the PS1 and its controller just weren’t up to the task Playstation didn’t have a true analog thumbstick on its controller at the time, and wouldn’t until mid 1997.

The Resident Evil series is an interesting animal. Tragic is that with a little restraint, most of this could have been avoided. RE6 is an exhausting, tedious slow-motion 12-car pileup of good ideas turned bad and bad ideas made worse. I missed the game back when it launched, but sadly I have to disagree with our own Jeremy Duff on this one.
JOGO RESIDENT EVIL 6 PC PS3
RE6 is finally on the PC, and while Steam’s suite of achievements, keyboard-mouse controls, higher resolutions and crisper graphics do elevate the game beyond what it was on consoles, RE6 is still at its heart the muddled, overcomplicated mess that arrived on PS3 and 360 last October. I’m not saying this situation is equivalent to being really let down by a video game, but I’d be lying if I didn’t feel at least some small fraction of that sort of disappointment while choking my way through Resident Evil 6. That friend let their once-stratospheric achievement go to their heads and made all the wrong decisions. You’ve had to watch that friend throw it all away in a downward spiral of gambling or drugs or whatever. Whatever happened, those days are long over. Maybe that friend just came through for you when you really needed it. This friend did something great once-maybe they scored the winning goal in a high school football game, maybe they were valedictorian, or gave an amazing performance in a play put on by the local drama club.
Readers, I hope you haven’t genuinely experienced this but imagine you had a friend, a really great friend with a ton of potential.
