In hindsight, would it have been better with projectiles instead of hitscan?
yes. not accounting for bullet drop in 10 square foot rooms was a huge misstep
No. This modern hate for hitscan is uncalled for and mostly comes from retards and casuals. Hitscan makes the gameplay instantaneous, the reaction to you or the enemy's action immediate, which means faster paced, more satisfying gameplay with a higher skill ceiling.
>>11983812what about max payne's projectilescan?

What's with all the RE autismo threads latelykill yourselves
>>11983841I never see you posting that in the Doom general.
>>11983856I have the doom GENERAL (notice there's a difference?) filtered, and I can filter it because it's a FUCKING GENERAL and subject to naming rules, thus I literally never see a single one. Make a fucking RE general so I can filter you too, DUMBFUCK.
>>11983875A general is unsuitable for a single question.
>>11983787No because Resident Evil is more RPG than shooter.
>>11983881There are like 3 RE1 threads up right now and we know it's you, because you're mentally ill. BTW people make all kinds of questions in generals, I know because I browse the CRT one. Kill yourself nonetheless.
>>11983886It's mentally ill to address yourself as "we".
>>11983886>There are like 3 RE1 threadsWoah!! On a retro video games board!! 3 threads dedicated to one of the most popular video game franchise! Fucking impossible man
>>11983892>>11983895samefagging
>>11983897What is it about the fact that people actually play and discuss retro vidya that makes you CRTfags so mad? If you don't want to see retro game discussion you are always free to go back to /v/, like genuinely why in the fuck are you so mad?
>>11983903People still posting screenshots as if you can't manually set/unset posts as (You) via 4chanX or use inspect element. Stop doing this shit. This is your last (You), I'm unwatching this dogshit thread. You should feel bad for spamming crap threads about ONE game.
>>11983904This thead is not mine, I know this board hates video games but you are so straightforward about it it's funny>stop discussing games AAA
>>11983787Why the fuck do you even care about this? It makes literally zero difference. What sort of autism is this...? What is wrong with you?
>>11983841when it gets closer to October get ready for a lot more zoomer RE/Silent Hill threads
I was actually just about to make a thread about this but maybe I'll make one about how cute Rebecca is instead.What's hitscan?
>>11984221A projectile isn't fired by the gun. The game looks at where the gun is pointing and what is the nearest object in the path to register a hit instantly.
>>11983824>projectile scanWhat?
>>11984641Isn't that how all guns work?
>>11984659epic gamer humor, upvoted.
>>11984861you don't need to specify gamer, we're all gamers hereupvoted
>>11983787You fight monsters at near point blank range almost all the time in this game. In what way is it not going to feel as instant as hitscan would provide? Not sure I get your point at all it seems dumb as hell. I never even thought about this for RE1 at all since the gameplay felt so natural for what it was aiming for.
I like hitscan though. Makes you feel like a sharpshooter.
>>11983812>People wanting guns to account for projectile speed and physics is "casual"Casual just means "I DUN LIKE ITTTTTT" to you, doesn't it?
>>11985230>at near point blank rangeAnon, point blank means "close enough that you don't have to account for bullet drop when aiming".
A nuke would have been better, but then there would be no game.
>>11986220In links awakening too. Nuke the entire fucking island. Blast the windfishs ass.
>>11983787Yes. They should have added bullet physics to make the game run even worse than it already did.
>>11983795kek
>>11985681You realize speed and physics is irrelevant in tiny hallways, right? They might as well be hitscan weapons irl at that point.
>>11986220But RE2/3 has a nuke and the game exists.
>>11983787I think it's interesting to consider what alternate skill checks you could use for defense against enemies besides just hitscan aiming but it would make absolutely no sense in the context of classic resident evil. a game where you have only a single relevant shooting angle outside of close range and most environments are cramped corridors.
>>11983812I don't hate hitscan and I don't question it being the default, I'd just like to see a few games that utilize alternate methods. projectile arcing weapons can be a pretty fun mechanic.
