Resident Evil 0

Resident Evil 0, known in Japan as biohazard 0, is a survival horror video game that was developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube and released in 2002. It is the seventh home console game in the Resident Evil series by release order and was the last of the title to use the original Multi-View gameplay system prior to the release of Resident Evil 4.

A remastered, high-definition version of the game was released in January 2016, known in Japan as the biohazard 0 HD remaster. It was also included in the Origins Collection. A port of the remaster was released on May 21, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch.

Wanted to talk about this game as I play it, couldn't find a thread, but it had an HD remaster that was ported to Switch in 2019 so I think a thread finally being made is justified.

This is a thread to talk about both the original game and the remaster.

I really liked this one.

****ing stupid save system. Accidentally used 2 ink ribbons because I like to make multiple saves, don't ask me why, but it's just a thing I've always done. I like to save 3 times in the same place.

Rebecca ended up on "danger", couldn't find any healing items, then died. Stupid stupid save system.

The save system is no different to Resident Evil 1.....maybe its you're screw up 😬

People complaining about Saviour Schnapps in Kingdom Come: Deliverance should be complaining about Ink Ribbons in RE the same way.

I should give you a heads up since you're planning on playing the originals too.

In the main series, every game before 4 uses ink ribbons.

It was part of their approach to building tension. There was a sacrifice for basically everything you do. You had to manage resources or else you'd wind up with no ribbons left.

I've never played Resident Evil 1. RE4 is the only RE game I've ever beaten, I'm just way into the lore.

Except people aren't, People have gotten used to using Ink Ribbons.

It's still a bad game mechanic. It was bad in 1996 and it's bad today.

If anything even with the infinite typewriter in RE4 I felt farrrr more tense, and definitely more scared, I legit jumped several times in RE4. RE0 has done nothing to generate any type of fear in me.

Yes it sucks and I guess you could say I was nervous but when I died it just made me want to stop playing.

Doesn't most typerwriters have an item box right beside them were you can just put the ink ribbons there anyways.

I just ink ribbons an unnecessary item where negatives far outweigh any positives.

Alien Isolation save system is by far way more intense than anything RE has ever done and it doesn't use a save item.

Yes, that's right. I didn't like RE0. I played the first game HD remake remastered remastered legendary edition and still enjoyed it...even with the flaws.

I started 0 and turned it off soon after. I did not like it.

I'm using tension in the more general sense, although I'd question how far you are into the game if RE4 scared you. It's intended to cause stress moreso than outright fear. It's the survival aspect of survival. You have to weigh the cost of using extra ink ribbons against trying to explore more without saving. We've lost that a bit in the modern era of RE, so newcomers are unprepared when going back to play older entries.

Granted, ink ribbons or their equivalent are present on higher difficulty modes for some modern RE titles.

I gotta call shenanigans a bit here though. You blew threw all your ink ribbons at once, for no particular reason I might add, and are blaming the game for it. That doesn't make it a bad mechanic. You knew exactly how many ink ribbons you had, and you chose to gamble by using all of them.

So you're blaming the game for your own screw up basically.

Jman ranking high on the spectrum is hardly the game's fault.

RE is one of the only survival horror games that use limited saves.

When they were in KC: D everybody complained about the limited saving like it was the end of the world, but when someone complains about something similar in a game like this it's automatically invalid.

Why would a game want to purposefully piss me off? Dark Souls didn't piss me off as bad when I lost to Ornstein and Smough 20+ times as I did dying after having no more ink ribbons in RE0.
