It's like Borderlands, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead.
As it has the leveling / XP scale from Borderlands.
linear free-roam like Dead Rising
Safe houses and I guess it's better working as a team in Co-op like L4D.
Also, Core.
I'd say Resident Evil is superior than Dead Rising in terms of quality.
RE = Survival-Horror, puzzles as for newer RE's = Survival-Action-adventure with bits of horror in them.
Dead Rising = Action, Assclowning for hours and endless zombie killings.
Left 4 Dead 2: Action-shooter, go from point A to point B, then survive for 5-10 minutes for rescue in finales.
I definitely agree with you there but I didnt comment on DR vs RE
I love RE to death, Own everything ever released with a Biohazard/Resident evil stamp on it
But gamewise... the zombie scrounge hard to shoot type thing that RE had was awesome, if you were slightly skilled it wouldnt hamper you
I did always miss a lvl system in RE though.. NOT A HUGE GAME CHANGING ONE but just tiny things... LIKE INVENTORY SLOTS FFS lol
l4d was a blight on zombie genre in my opinion its literally Serious Sam with zombies.
Dead rising was amazingly entertaining.
This game as a feel to it that I have not yet really fully experienced(mmofpm) because I kept skipping those games -.- I mean seriously most of them are ill conceived...
I do like this game though. Especially... the difficulty curve
Just when you think you got the hang of things... you level up and things go MUAHAHAHHAH IN YOUR FACE PUNY HUMAN!
The new RE kinda scares me because its soooo not like them... but on the other hand... I REALLY REALLY WANT IT!
