Famitsu rates BioHazard!
 

Resident Evil 1 (or BioHazard) gets a 39/40! :eek:


This amazing score qualifies Biohazard for a Dendo-platinum award. This makes BioHazard the highest rated GameCube game yet!

What do you guys think?

wowza!

Re: Famitsu rates BioHazard!
 

Considering it's not an orignal game and thats it's an improvement over the playstation original. They really must have improved the game a hell of lot to get a score that high. And another thing i'm going to say.......I've decided that i'm definetly getting it when it makes it's way into europe. Although i thought that the game would be good, i didn't expect it to get a score that high.

Thats incredible, and famitzu dosent score games easily, from what I remember.

WOW, thats an awsome score and some great news for all Gamecube fans. I've never bought a RE game, but this might be one that i have to buy.:D Anyways, great news!

Yep, I'm gwtting it. No doubt about it.

Holy crap! I figured it would be good, but that's just an awesome score!

I would just like to point out something. Well I noticed it more at IGN then here. But how come no one is calling Famistu biase?

I mean if this game would have got something like a 27. Everyone would find some lame excuse for it.. "O it's just a port", "Famistu is a bunch of biase ***s"

I don't know. I find it funnie because Justin has a concur thread in the Fight Club about ratings and some are saying they don't go by other's opinion then this..

Like I said just wanted to point this out

That is one hell of a rating. I still doubt I will get this game, but for those who depend on other peoples' opinions to buy games, this is great for them.

BTW, has a game ever gotten a 40/40? For which system?

Well, Famitsu, at least for me, is the one online/offline rating system i can trust. I used to trust ign, but they kinda went down.

I hear ya there, they are noticably biased towards XBOX which is annoying. Famitsu is harsh in general to videogames so for them to score a PORT a 39/40 is incredible to say the least.

I am definetely getting it.

Famitsu is well respected for their reviews world wide. Their my primary source, then IGN.

A port is where you take the same game from one system and stick it on another...

this is a remake... new areas, new updated graphics, new voice acting, and even at least one storyline change (Richard not dying, or at least not right away)...

Anyways, I knew it would be awesome... that's why I started selling some PS2 games I didn't play anymore so I could buy a gamecube by the time RE1 comes out :p

I just hope that, with NGC's sorta outta place D-pad, they actually have real analog movement in the control stick... every past RE game with analog stick support (except maybe RE2 on N64, which I never played) has had this crappy thing where they split the analog stick into sections that act like the sections on the D-pad... so it wasn't really analog... and the movement like that sucked big time, IMO...

And what score did the original Biohazard get?

Holy steaming pile of turd........ coming from Famitsu thats good, they're right harsh when rating games.

Sega saturn original ;)

Wha u mean, 'original Biohazard' this is the 'original biohazard', I trust you mean the original Resident Evil. Christ only knows mate.

Holy ****, I am getting that game -- no matter what.

I had high expectations but this is even more thatn I expected. I always knew I was getting it anyway.

The original one for PSX. Wasn't it always called Biohazard in Nihon though?

RE has always been called Biohazard in Japan, they just decided to change the name for some reason when it came to the US, and it's stayed that way... This one will be called Resident Evil in the US as well...

And yeah, I wonder what score the old RE (saturn or PSX, either one) got... hmmm *rubs chin*

For those of you wondering if Famitsu is biased, I assure you that they are not. The proof is in the scores. The same issue where they give Biohazard a 39 also gave these scores:

Source: IGN

Granted, NBA Street and Rogue Leader are American games which typically don't do well in Japan, but Rave is not.

Or it could be that Rave is so bad that even a fanboy magazine like Famitsu wouldn't dare to give it a good score. :rolleyes:

P.S. Not looking good for the Konami support so far...

*shakes head in disgust*

BreakABone... I guess you now understand how Nintendo fans piss me off...

You guys just happen to support any source that gives Nintendo games high scores... but you never listen when Nnitendo gets low scores...

it's no use argueing, anybody who replied to my IGN thread and said somthing that bashes IGN is 1) a hypocrit or 2) a fanboy whose opinion I'm never going to respect again....

I used to think this forum was intelegent... oh well, guess there is no such thing as that *shrugs*

Not that I give a **** BigW, but everyone on this site (or NDose before this site) always respected Famitsu and followed their scores. More than one person in this thread has told you why they repsect Famitsu, did you miss these posts?

They respect Fatsamu because it give Nintendo good scores... period.

There isn't one source that gives Nintendo good marks that Nintendo fans don't respect...even Nintendo power is highly respected....

it's funny, because IGN, back when Nintendose was young, was getting a LOT of respect in the forums... back when N64 was getting good scores all the time, and when Ps2 was getting worse scores than Dreamcast, people here acted like it's the only source on the net...

Now that GCN's scores are low on IGN, and Xbox's scores are higher... well... go look in the fight club forum for yourself....

I'm a little weary of IGN only for the fact that each console has its own staff.

Well that is rather correct.. I mean just compare the scores for Sonic Adventure 2 on DreamCast and on for GC. I mean I could understand the scores being lower because it's a port but almost 3 points.

Yeah, I know what you mean.. :unsure:

:rolleyes:

Believe you want Justin :rolleyes:

Well 28 out of 40 isn't bad
that's about 7 out of ten :D..which is 70 percent .......hmmmmmmmm I wonder how come rave got such a low score...man I had hopes for that game. :(

What I'm saying isn't factual??? :confused:

Like I said, no point argueing... I'm one of the oldest members here, and I have spent more time around these forums than 95% of the members... I have always been on the oppising side of Nintendo fans in arguements, and I know what I'm talking about...

I guess it's just a coincedence that you guys give respect to the magizines/sites that give Nintendo high scores... and that you dislike magizines that give Nintendo games low scores... Even if it means turning your back on once respected sources...

I'm a Nintendo fan, but you guys are at a different level... I guess that's where the word fanboy came from...

I sort of agree with Justin, but I do not think that Nintendo fans dislike the sites/magazines that give Nintendo game low marks. I think that Nintendo fans just ignore them until they start giving a Nintendo game a good mark, then somebody will make a thread like this one saying how sweet the game is.

I don't know. I couldn't really care less if Nintendo games, or PS2 or XBox games for that matter, get bad or good marks. Like I said earlier, if 7 different sources give a game that you think is interesting a mark of 7/10 or higher, rent the game. If 7 different sources give a game that you think is interesting a mark of 3/10 or higher, still rent the game, because who cares what other people think, you still might enjoy the game.

Justin brings up a rather intelligent argument.

Let's see the opposing side's reply:

I must say, it's quite obvious who should have won this debate. But it also is quite obvious who did win.

I tend to agree with Justin on this matter

but I think he's taking it a little far

these guys aren't going nuts over Famitsu or against IGN...they're just happy that the Gamecube is finally getting a good game...

;)



and in memory of bobcat,

*flies away*

I'm on a much higher level than Justin. He still refers to gaming magazines for ratings. While I, rent the games myself and give them my own personal rating. What other people say or believe does not bug me. Everyone here has the right to say what they want. Some games just aren't meant for everyone. Justin I hope in time, you will come to relying on yourself rather than other people's opinions for video games.

If you are on such a 'higher level' than Justin is, then why did you write this for an entire post: "Believe you want Justin :rolleyes:" First of all it's pointless, second of all it doesn't even make sense.

Because Justin believes we all act that way when we don't. I meant, "Believe what you want Justin." I just made an error when typing.

BTW Bond, welcome back. We haven't seen you in a while :)

In my opinion, Justin heavily overgeneralizes, and in any case, I don't think Nintendo fans are much worse than fans of other systems.

But he has a valid point nonetheless, and nobody has given him a decent counter-argument. And here's a tip for you, GameMaster2002: if you declare that you are on a higher level than somebody else, you really aren't. People who are on a higher level don't feel the need to say it to the world. They just know it's true, and what's more, everybody else does, too.

But Justin doesn't know. He falls to the sweeping generalization as you said that everyone here is like that when in fact they're not. I want him to know they are many people here who aren't like that.

Does that put you on a higher level than him? No. At least Justin is aware of his limitations.

I think it does because I don't generalize everyone by one "fanboy" or whatever you guys prefer to call it.
