The Jimquisition 11: We Need More Spencer Mansions
Added 2015-01-26 14:31:36 +0000 UTCReviewing Resident Evil HD has given me several subjects to rant about. Here's the first, which I touched upon in the review itself - why the Spencer Mansion of Resident Evil is so great, and why we need more environments like it.

One of my favorite uses of this (I say here, because Youtube comments are something you couldn't pay me to read, an obvious difference in us) is the first three Fatal Frame games--in fact, I think Fatal Frame 3 might demonstrate some sort of pinnacle of the form. In 1 and 2 you become intimately familiar with similar closed-zones (a mansion in 1, a small village in 2), and when you re-encounter them in your dreams in 3, not only is there this instinctive visceral reaction to all the surrounding remembered events, but the way the rooms are now out-of-order helps with the subtle sense of a disturbing dream.

2015-01-26 22:25:47 +0000 UTC...so what was up with the intro music?
2015-01-26 20:03:49 +0000 UTCI was told there would be 5 episodes this week. I do not see 5 episodes this week. I was expecting 5 episodes this week. I do not like being lied to.
