Resident Evil series

Suggestion to know the Resident Evil series


Resident Evil is a well-known series but it is more than 20 years old and inevitably there are many young people who never had contact with the beginning of everything. With that in mind, I want to suggest the versions that I believe offer differentiated experiences and that allow you to dive into the essence of this franchise.

- Resident Evil (PC)

The first game in the franchise has an image closely linked to the Playstation and contributed a lot to its success, but the American version for PC brought something more, greater difficulty and resolution. In this version we have scenes in color and without censorship, there is no possibility to adjust the difficulty and we can meet the real survivor. The original game without the subsequent modifications. The game is for Windows 95/98 so it is necessary to invest in compatible hardware for that system or install a virtual machine on the PC, I emphasize that a bug occurs with Jill when playing with very powerful CPUs, it can be circumvented by running away from the first monster coming out from the dining room to meet Wesker several times until the monster comes after you.

- Resident Evil 2 (Dreamcast)

Resident Evil VMU
At this point in the franchise Dreamcast appears offering something more than graphics and all the additions to the Dual Shock version of the Playstation like extra game modes and gamepad vibration. It is a PC port that includes a gallery of images, and as a plus the VMU memory connected to the controller providing information such as ammunition quantity and health without having to access the game menu.

- Resident Evil 3 (Dreamcast)

It is also a PC port, offering better graphics and unlocked clothing and Mercenaries. The experience provided by VMU is also present.

- Resident Evil Code Veronica (Dreamcast)

This game has two versions, the original release can only be played on Dreamcast and version X was later released to other platforms with altered images and added scenes. For me the original game is more important. This version also provides visual information about the game in the VMU.

- Resident Evil 4 (Nintendo Wii)

Resident Evil 4 is not part of the classic era of the series but it is a good game that has given new direction to the franchise that influences the new games until today. Originally launched for the Gamecube, the Wii version added the extra game modes present on the Playstation 2 and brought a unique experience with its revolutionary controller.


In this list I tried to show why these versions bring something different that adds more to the game experience. I did not consider the later games due to sameness on all platforms and for departing from the essence of the series. All of these games can be run in emulators, even providing the VMU screen, so it will suit younger players who want to feel it on their skin and do not have the original hardware.

Organizing Dreamcast Games in a Spreadsheet

Imagem
Organizing Dreamcast Games in a Spreadsheet Those who started games long ago should remember that it was not a concern to have very specific categories for games. They were simply spaceship games, racing games, fighting games ... we just played and had fun, we were purer players, but over time new categories were being imposed by the "experts", taking away the simplicity of things. I think normal people when looking for a game still think simple, if they want a spaceship game, for example, they imagine a game in the old arcade style and not in a category like shoot 'em up. Thinking this way I was able to sort a large number of games in a simple spreadsheet, creating categories that are intuitive for me considering my childhood experiences, so I can organize games in SD memory considering factors such as category, blocks needed etc. I didn't find anything on the internet. After many hours of work researching covers and translating Japanese I was able to achieve

How to know for sure what version of your Dreamcast

Imagem
We know that it is possible to check the version of dreamcast looking at the number circulated on the label underneath it, but as it is a very old console many have already undergone maintenance and may have had the board changed, even have left the factory with a number that does not match the version. In the case of Brazil for example this label does not even indicate the version. Checking what is written in the GDROM is also a method that does not give you the answer entirely because you can only discard one of the three versions. The correct method to be 100% sure about the Dreamcast version is to check directly on the motherboard and there is an easy way to check this without having to dismount it completely. There are three holes under neath the board where the controls are connected, through them you will be able to see written "VA" and a number.

Phantsy Star IV - Manual em Português

Imagem
Traduzi e editei um manual em português para o Phantasy Star IV (The end of the millennium) para Mega Drive. O jogo recebeu uma tradução não oficial então tomei a iniciativa de criar um manual em português para complementar a coleção do Mega Drive. Caso tenha alguma sugestão para a tradução deixe uma mensagem, como ainda não joguei esse jogo tive acesso a poucas telas do jogo traduzido e em algumas partes tive que usar a intuição, baseado na tradução do inglês.
