Title: Famitsu scores RE1..
Post by: Blade on March 13, 2002, 10:55:21 AM
From Planet GameCube (http://www.planetgamecube.com):

Think the GameCube remake of Biohazard (Resident Evil) won’t be all that special? Famitsu begs to differ…

We have just learned that Famitsu has reviewed Capcom’s Biohazard game for GameCube and awarded it 39/40 –one point shy of perfect! This score also qualifies Biohazard for Famitsu\'s Dendo Platinum award. This is pretty spectacular news, especially as this score appeared alongside reviews of games from other consoles and wasn’t in the Nintendo-specialized Famitsu!

Biohazard hits Japan next week.


Hot diggity damn! That\'s the best Famitsu score for any game on GameCube or Xbox yet!

Damn, did you get anything besides the score?  I\'d be interested to read what Famitsu thought of it.

BTW, Gamecube games are almost always getting gold and platinum awards from Famitsu.  Most recently, Nintendo\'s Doshin the Giant got the gold, too.  If only they\'d release those games over here!  Where\'s Eidos when you need them?

I was wondering if the RE1 release was going to coincide with the movie, that along with the great score should be a shot in the arm for console sales. Lot o fence sitters waiting for this one, me thinks.

I\'m surprised a remake would receive such a high score. And a little jealous, maybe there\'s a GC in my future after all...

GC will have its first "real" system seller in the US.

RE2 was my personal fav in the series.. (I stopped playing RE after that.. I noticed Capcom was trying to milk the money out of the series releasing game after game after game with nothing new in them.. Run around... find key.. shoot zombies.. open door.. run around.. find key.. shoot zombies..)

Yes. For shame. I, too, filled my seat with warm urine when the damn dog jumped out of the window! I had Jill running like a headless chicken, only to be cut off by another freaking hell hound from yet ANOTHER WINDOW! :eek:

That\'s when i filled my underwear with warm feces! :mad:

I had to take a shower after that.

And that was BEFORE I knew where the ribbon save game was! So I had to that over again!

I never wanna feel like a wussy again!

Actually, I do. So I\'ll get the RE-Remake for GC! Gonna wear diapers this time!

MM: Nobody asked me, but twas a question to be answered. ;)

Just informing ya.. I originally thought that RE1 was a summer game myself..

But since all of the voices are already in English for the Japanese version.. all they need to do is translate the text.

March 20th is the release date in Japan, BTW.

Resident Evil\'s review, now fully translated.

Grade: 10
This game provides a raw sense of what zombies would actually be like as animate entities. The atmosphere presented is one suggesting that there is something definitely lurking out there, effectively putting you inside the game on a level that has never been achieved up to this point. Simply standing around in this game is enough to make one feel scared. Not simply a revision with new features and paths in the game, this title is without a doubt completely playable as a brand new installment in its own right.

Grade: 9
Damn, zombies are bad-ass and scary! This game instilled in me once again that feeling of trepidation that zombies give, even as they’re getting their ass kicked left and right throughout the game. Just hearing their screams is enough to send chills down your spine. The graphics have evolved to a level that has to be seen to be believed, and the game also incorporates a new system. When you lump everything together, this title cannot be referred to as simply a port – it’s practically alright to consider it a brand new game.

Grade: 10
The heart of this game rests in the story and system that underlies it, which is enough in itself to provide a sense that everything about the title has been changed. With an even more heightened sense of reality and adjustments made in just about every part of the game possible, it can be completely enjoyed as a fresh and novel title. Additional cinemas and things to do elevate the game to a whole new level as well. This is not simply just a remake, and is extremely recommended to fans of the series.

Grade: 10:
This title has been revamped to the point that it can be called a completely new game. The number of rooms has been increased dramatically, and the puzzle system has been practically redone from scratch. With the rendition of the game throughout differing according to the path(s) chosen within it, make no mistake about it, even experienced players can enjoy this title from the very outset. Even just looking at the game is enough to justify its value, with visuals that are arguably the best ever seen in a video game.
