Didn't we just recently have a zombie movie thread?

We even covered the idea that many new "zombie" movies aren't actually about the "undead," but about "infected" unfortunates. Like in "28 Days Later," which was a great movie on its own merits. (The sequel was total garbage, though.)

  I started one on favorite zombie movies, I think that's what you mean Smiley

I'm trying to get my brother right now to come down and drive me up to the city to see the new Resident Evil Movie, it looks like it might be kind of good, I really enjoyed the previous films, ali larter was never any hotter than in Extinction... Wink
 
  I wouldn't say that resident evil is the best zombie movie/movie series but they are among the best, especially Extinction.  For me my favorite would have to be something like Dawn of the Dead, (new and old versions, they are both great!) and Planet Terror.  The reanimator would be maybe the second favorite though it is really very good as well.
  The evil dead series is fantastic but it is a little grueling for my tastes so while they are great movies and I enjoy them, I wouldn't watch them unless it was halloween or something but they are candidates for 1# if you were hardcore enough.

c_a and a few others can tell you that after a while they're almost all repeat threads.  In that there's a constant turnover of people here repeat threads aren't a problem.

That's the one.



Y'know, I tried hard to like the Resident Evil series, but I just couldn't, after a while.  I enjoyed the grisly deaths in the first one, but after that, the story just got to be too much.  All those clones of whatsername?  Come on.  One of those interminable series that never lets you know what really is going on.  I mean, in the first movie, she was just a character.  By the second or third movie or whatever, she's as important to the world and to the Umbrella conspiracy (whatever it actually is! as Luke Skywalker was to the Rebellion!  Roll Eyes

The series strikes me as one of those where they keep tacking on more story because it's been selling well, and that's the only reason.  YMMV, as they say.  If you enjoy it, cool.

The Zombie Survival Guide is a good place to start.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide

Doesn't cover all the kinds of zombies just the slow moving George Romaero kind.

The video you linked is from Resident Evil remake, which came out in 2002. It has better graphics, better music, better dialogs, more areas, more types of enemies. Overall, a huge improvement over the original

The original Resident Evil came out in 1996, for the Playstation . Today is is widely remembered for its infamous opening scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LwuT3MffEw
Yuo have to wonder how this production didnīt win Cannes.

Zombies are better being slow and clumsy. A fast zombie is too invincible, the humans donīt stand a chance.
In the slow zombies movies/books/comic or whatever, the zombies never overwhelm the humans until the human destroy themselves with their fighting or group conflicts.

Resident Evil 2 came out in 98 I think. Awesome piece of video game entertainment.

If RE 1 was Night of the Living Dead, then RE 2 is Dawn of the Dead.

Also, in order to unlock everything, you had to finish the game multiple times. A total of 6 times if i remember correctly.
This opened scenarios, which after completing, unlocked more characters. After completing every scenario with all characters, the "Tofu mode" was unlocked. Tofu was just a white block replacing a character, Tofu could only use the knife. A friend of mine got absolutely everything you could get in RE 2.

If you think about it, it gives you lots of things to do after you complete the main quest. That made the game awesome. RE 1 only had unlockable costumes and a few weapons.

 I have just got a ps2 this year, (I am totally behind the times on video games, never wanting to pay top dollar for newer systems and the games that cost about 1/3 as much each as I don't have big income and would have just as much fun with more games for an older system,) so I have almost every game system right back to nintendo minus some obscure ones, I even have game gear, game boy, gameboy color and gameboy advance handhelds... but getting to the point!  I have been scouring everywhere for a resident evil game and I finally came across one, if I am remember the title right it is called "outbreak".  You have a list of characters you can choose from and then you play through different cenerios, like trapped in a bar etc.  I have played through a few levels but haven't had a lot of time with it, the opening video to it is awesome.  The game itself isn't too bad but could use more weapons so far.  The big thing that bugs me about it though is that you have cpu players with you at all times and you can play it online, (I can't as I have satellite and there are probably no people playing it anymore,) with other players but it isnt 2 player.
 I don't think it is one of the best ones, but I am enjoying it.  It's kind of fun to play 2 player anyway cause it has a lot of problem solving so my little brother and I take turns playing it and having a second brain working on stopping the zombies gives me an advantage and makes the zombies hungrier.

  QUESTION:  What are the best Zombie video games?  For any systems, but for me mainly anything ps2 and gamecube on back to nintendo.

In my experience I didnt really play those games growing up,  I was more like behind my older bros being scared while they were playing,  I dont have that problem anymore,  but the latest one was good although its on the newer consoles, RE5 I believe,  though there is wayy faster zombies and smarter too,  i only played for several minutes but it was cool.  maybe the RE remake is best idk,  as I said i dont have a lot of experience with these games.

Luke, the game you mentioned is Resident Evil Outbreak. Awesome idea, poor execution. While the idea of playing online with 3 other humans to escape a scenario is great, the game was plagued by all the Resident Evil staples mainstream audiences never liked (Tank-like controls, absurd puzzles and doors that never open with keys, but by solving some ridiculous quest)

In other words, it was a game for fans of the original game, newcomers to the series would say: What is this Sh*t?
And the online servers are no more. You canīt play online, which negates the best feature of the game.  

If you have a PS2, I recommend Resident Evil 4, my absolute favorite game of last generation of consoles. The Resident Evil series always had a distinctive Romero felling. The series was going nowhere after almost a decade and was at risk of becoming irrelevant.

Then comes Resident Evil 4. It discards the whole zombie thing and shifts to a Invasion of the Body Snatchers scenario, in which the enemies run, uses weapons and even talk to each other (they are not zombies, instead they have parasites inside them. Sometimes, you make a head shot and instead of dying, white scythe-like tendrils  pop out an enemy and attack you. I donīt want to spoil it, but you need to play the game ASAP) The camera is now placed over the shoulder of Leon Kennedy (RE 2 guy is back in RE 4), the tank controls are gone and there are no fixed camera angles. It make a much more dynamic game. Iīm ranting a lot, but I was blown away by this game.  

For a testament of RE 4 innovations, watch out for Gears of wars and Dead Space, which uses many of the things RE 4 started. Most notably, the over the shoulder perspective. 
Dead space is perhaps the evolution of RE 4. Itīs on the newer consoles PS3 and Xbox 360, but the game is a cross between Resident Evil, Aliens and Event Horizon. Itīs just like a big budget movie. Check out Dead Space in Youtube, absolutely terrifying game
