Title: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on October 02, 2006, 10:06:39 PM: Looks like the GC will be getting one more game, or should I say games. It looks like Capcom, through EBgames and Gamestop are going to have an exclusive RE Anniversary collection that comes with Resident Evil (the remake), Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4 (to bad there is no RE2 or 3!). The collection will retail for 39.99.

Post by: UltimatePartyBear on October 03, 2006, 07:33:45 AM: I might be interested in it. I don't like to be scared, so I've never played any survival horror games. This series gets so much raving that I'm sometimes tempted, especially since I'd like to see just how pretty RE4 really is.

Post by: Athrun Zala on October 03, 2006, 08:53:33 AM: they should've gone all the way and include RE2, RE3 and RECVX as well....(I mean, 10th anniversary and it's just a repack? at least make it complete....)

Post by: Ian Sane on October 03, 2006, 08:59:19 AM: I don't have any of the RE games but I'm interested in RE4. Maybe I should get this just to get them all in a big blob.

Post by: mantidor on October 03, 2006, 09:02:04 AM: bah, I have zero and 4 already ¬_¬ and I really wanted to try the REmake, is the only Im missing (RE2 and 3 don't count for being direct ports which retailed at full prize :P, Ill never buy them for that reason)

Don't give it a second thought, this is worth it for the REmake and RE4 alone if you have never owned a Resident Evil before (0 is okay, but wasn't my cup of tea with the swapping getting annoying).

Remember the Pure Evil Pack?
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Nick DiMola on October 04, 2006, 05:32:38 AM: I think Capcom made a good call here. 40 bucks for those 3 games is a great deal and anyone who doesn't have them needs to take the plunge and grab these up. Too bad I spent $50 on every one of them when they came out
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: couchmonkey on October 04, 2006, 06:03:24 AM: The series is not exactly my cup of tea, but if that bundle comes to Canada, and is under $50, I might finally take the plunge.

Post by: Svevan on October 04, 2006, 12:02:04 PM: REmake is indeed an excellent game, but mang - I really wanted Code Veronica! That's my favorite apart from RE4. Also, replaying 2 and playing 3 for the first time would be tres excellent.
Title: RE:Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: GoldenPhoenix on October 05, 2006, 03:01:31 AM: I am not sure if I am getting it, I already have RE4 and RE0, then again I am a sucker for shiney collector editions of things so I may not be able to help myself!

I agree this deal could've been sweetened with the inclusion of 2,3 and CV, guess Capcom just wanted the Cube exclusives in one pack. Maybe they are just going to be bastards and release another pack (RE Classic Collection) with 2, 3 and CV and cash in further on RE.

That would be awesome. I missed those three.

Do yourself a favor and pick up 3. It's by far the best of the old-style RE games (i.e. all the ones before 4). It's the only one that I found to be genuinely scary - when Nemesis is chasing you your heart just starts pumping.

It also has the most focused - and least ridiculous - plot of the series.

No tin or booklet, seems like. Shame, I don't know if I'll get it. I rented REmake once, but couldn't wrap my head around the controls...
Title: RE:Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Galford on October 06, 2006, 05:31:26 AM: I'll have to second hudsonhawk about RE3.
It is the best of the original PSX games by far.

The battle between Jill and Nemesis is downright personal at the end of the game.

Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Ian Sane on October 06, 2006, 07:47:47 AM: Ah man. What's with the yellow strips? Who wants a box set with "Player's Choice" pastered on the side? F*ck it. If I wanted RE4 with sh!tty packaging I could have already bought it instead of waiting for a used copy of the regular packaging to show up.

It still is a good deal for new games but I wager I could find all three of those games used with good packaging for the same price.

It's not insecurity, it's just personal preference. Practically nobody sees my Cube collection. But I do and I don't like seeing ugly Player's Choice games sticking out like a sore thumb. So far I don't have any and I would like to keep it that way.
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: vudu on October 06, 2006, 08:45:36 AM: Don't worry Ian, I'm the same way. The yellow spines on Soul Caliber 2 and Sonic Mega Collection shame myself and my family.
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: couchmonkey on October 06, 2006, 08:50:49 AM: I'm not crazy about the yellow spines, but I might buy this package anyway. I don't get why they had to make the box itself have the yellow stripe.

BOO! (As in disapproval, not as in a scary "surprise!")
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Nick DiMola on October 06, 2006, 09:37:50 AM: Ian I totally agree, I hating buying player's choice games. The yellow is hideous and doesn't match with the rest of my Cube games. They should've just put a sticker on the plastic like they do with the original copies once they go player's choice.

Wow, I thought I was the only person like this. I got RE4 the other day and that yellow spine on the side made me sick for a while since it doesn't match any of the other games or DVDs I own. But I'm over it now; hopefully the Wii Player's Choice packaging will be less shameful and more pleasing to the eyes.
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Artimus on October 15, 2006, 02:52:09 PM: I bought RE4 used and specifically chose the original edition over the PC because it's so ugly. I sincerely hope they don't make that mistake with Wii.

Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: williamsjj on November 04, 2006, 11:37:10 AM: I saw the "anniversary edition" yesterday at EBgames. I was severely disappointed in the packaging. As an anniversary edition I thought it would be something special, but it seems like they just took the leftover Players Choice copies they had and put them in a cardboard binder. This collection is definitely only for those who don't have the original games and want to get them at a decent price.
Title: RE: Resident Evil 10th Anniversary
Post by: Athrun Zala on November 04, 2006, 11:50:48 AM: yep, if it were the COMPLETE series then it'd be worthy of being a 10th anniversary edition.....
