By Dai's logic, the Gamecube version of Resident Evil would be an entirely different game in the timeline than Resident Evil when it first came out on Playstation.
On the Gamecube, the graphics are redone from the ground up, pre-rendered environments and all. Many areas were also changed in appearance and design as well.
For example, when you leave the mansion for the first time in the original, you pass through a wooded courtyard in order to reach the Residence. When you first leave in the Gamecube version, you must pass through a graveyard and into a humble cabin. These locations were never in the original game.
Also, when you first come to the cabin, you will encounter a hideous, invincible monster unlike anything you've seen before. From then on, you'll read files and letters about the doomed Trevor family and encounter that beast twice more.
Zombies you shoot down in Resident Evil will only be permanently eliminated if you burn them or blow off their head, otherwise they'd get back up some time later. What didn't happen in the original version was that zombies that finally reanimate become known as Crimson Heads, which are much faster and stronger than before.
These are some of many differences in structure, story, and gameplay that is being used for this debate. This would mean that the Gamecube Resident Evil would be a sequel to the Playstation version, even though they take place in the exact same mansion, which may explode at the end.
I have many more plot points that would make it seem that way if anyone would be interested. |
