Dirge of Cerberus vs. Resident Evil 4

[Roto13]

This game seems to be gettin a lot of (some say unwarranted) love, so I just want to see what you guys think.

[I Am Stoner]

I havent played DOC yet, but RE4 is such a good game, im gonna go with that.

[Raebus]

Re 4, without a doubt.

Can you really compare the well reputation, very experienced, great series Resident Evil 4 to the new comming shooter for new Square-Enix domain, based on a great series Final Fantasy VII?

What I'm saying, Capcom already has a lot of experience since the first Resisdent Evil.

While Final Fantasy series is an all RPG, not shooter.

When you think about this, Capcom has the advantage.

The things that helps Square-Enix a lot are:
-The Videos (They always made thoses)
-Every other aspect of the game beside the gameplay... (Story, Characters, Systems, ect.)

It looks really nice! Hope I have it soon...

[Roto13]

To be fair, Resident Evil 4 is the first RE game that's actually a shooter. The rest were all survival-horror games where you tried to shoot as little as possible.

Anyway, we're not talking about who should be capable of making a better game, we're talking about which of these two is a better game. :P

[Eminem's_No.1_Fan]

i havent played either but i got scared off ever playing Resi. when i was 6 or 7 so i voted for DoC

[King-Killer]

I have Resident Evil 3, it was still shooter.
(If you consider DC shooter instead of Action/Shooter)

[Roto13]

Resident Evil 3 was not a shooter. Having a gun doesn't make a game a shooter. It was a survival-horror game. You were only supposed to use your gun as a last resort. Otherwise, you were supposed to run away.

[King-Killer]

same can be said about FFVII: DC.
doesn't mean you have a gun that makes it a shooter...
it's an action game. (just joking.)

So, ok, it's action/horror.
But it's the first time Square-Enix does any game beside RPGs.
That was my point.

[Roto13]

That's not true, either. They've done non-RPGs before. They're working on a Mario sports game right now, they've made at least one fighting game, and a handful of racing games and things.

If you're referring to DoC, that's not really a horror game because... it's not scary. :P And Resident Evil (pre-4) was never an action game.

[King-Killer]

You got it all wrong.

[Roto13]

No, you just don't know how to play Resident Evil, apparently.

[Raebus]

Pre Re 4 = Adventure/horror, right?

[Distain]

RE 4 woops DoC's as*. Period. Just because the game may have more slightly better cinamatics (and it really is close, if you ever played RE4 on the GC then you'd know what I'm talking about) The gameplay is obvioudly way better, no offence to DoC hardcore fans but you have to admite that the gameplay wasnt exactly the funnest. The charicters in both game were good, the only reason that DoC's charicters seem more fleshed out is becuase the backstory streaches back like 3 movies and a game. RE4 only has one charicter that gose back one game, but he still makes a great preformance.

Basicly DoC, good game fans and people going for the story, not necesarly hardcore gameplay.

RE4, great gameplay, great story, is simply better than DoC.

[Roto13]

Pre Re 4 = Adventure/horror, right?

Yeah, that works too.
