Daymare 1998 Review - Old School Survival Horror

[@rayyanali4471]

I think you ought to have provided a bit of a backstory to this project. This is an indie project originally created by the guys who worked on a fan made 3rd person remake of Resident Evil 2. Capcom made them cancel/rename the project but were still quite nice to them even invited them over to their office for the reveal of the official RE 2 remake. These guys then created a new project with some of the assets of their remake and turned it into Daymare.

[@mostlydead3261]

He should've prefaced his review by this. Whilst this doesn't excuse all of game's shortcomings, its origins as a free fan made remake of RE2 which was worked on by a small, inexperienced team in their free time would explain quite a bit, both in terms of game's similarity to RE2 and its flaws & anachronisms. If nothing else, this comment section wouldn't be filled with 'lol cheap RE2 remake knock off' derp.

For those wondering why this looks exactly like the RE2 Remake: this was originally a project titled RE2 Reborn and was a fan made remake. When the official one was announced they pivoted their work into this. Most fan made remakes don't get past the ModDB concept art stage so this is just so cool to see.

[@WingMaster562]

Wait, I don't get it. Somehow, the official RE2 Remake is a clone of a fan remake project? I dunno, I just don't get the connection on how this being intially a fan remake of RE2 that results for it to look exactly like the later official RE2 Remake.

[@robacdc1977]

Ben Dover Besides, the whole point was to say how extracting ammo from dead corpses and handloading the ammo into mags both in a game and real life would be silly, that’s all. Obviously there’s no special forces group called H.A.D.E.S. in real life either.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

Soldiers in the field do often hand load magazines. Usually repacking magazines, for example if you've fired a few bursts from one magazine, switch to firing from another to be sure you don't run out when facing down an enemy and then decide to move bullets from both to one of them. I'm not sure whether it's common to bring loose bullets as well though.

[@TheGaluMoD]

I don't know, my main issue with the game is how bland everything looks. I'm a huge fan of oldschool survival horror.

I understand that this game originally started out as a RE2 fan remake, but they could've at the very least put any ammount of effort into being thier own thing after capcom told them off, instead of just literally being a cheap RE knockoff, not to mention the bland textures, uninspired character models, zombies look like they are premade assets taken straight from some asset-store and super stiff animations..

[@mr.bootleg424]

Outbreak had the same magazine mechanic. Four blocks for inventory space, unless you're Yoko. One space will be occupied by your weapon, unless you have a standard handgun as a character's special like Mark. Second slot will be taken by one magazine, which you have to find separately. Third slot will be taken by your ammunition reserves. When reloading without a spare magazine, the character removes the magazine in their firearm and thumbs in ammunition. Once the reload is completed or interrupted, the magazine is re-inserted into the firearm and you're ready to shoot again. Combining ammunition with a spare magazine in your inventory slots is instantaneous, whereas combining with your firearm directly activates the round-by-round reload. Automatic reloads, done by pressing the fire button while empty, or manual reloads, done by pressing a dedicated reload button when readying a weapon, is always faster if you have a spare magazine with at least one bullet in it. Just like combining your spare magazine with a firearm in the inventory screen is. These mechanics extend to handguns, Kevin's .45 being an extremely rare case if I'm not mistaken, sub-machine guns, semi-automatic magnums, and automatic rifles. Weapons like shotguns or revolver magnums, always reload round-by-round. The trade-off for magazines is four-fold, unless you're Yoko, because she has another four inventory slots in her backpack. Being down to only one free inventory slot, you're stunted when it comes to carrying other weapons, healing items, keys, and/or puzzle items. This means that you have to stick with another survivor and essentially take over all combat roles in order to justify your inventory, which also means other players can scramble for different items themselves and assume different roles to the party. Well, that was the case when the game was still online. Sure, Residence of Evil has shown that private servers still exist today and that, with some work, you can still play Outbreak online with friends, any person experiencing the game as-is has to forgo a lot of otherwise solid strategies and do everything themselves. This is 100% viable though, there even being an unlockable lone-wolf permutation to Outbreak's chapters, rendering you the sole survivor of a scenario, just be prepared to babysit the A.I. and hope to God they don't get lost after automatically picking up important progression items.

[@SPHG425]

RE Outbreak actually had similar a magazine system, you could find magazines and instantly load rounds in them via combining its respective ammo, resulting in much quicker reloads. If you didn't have a spare magazine, you have to manually load bullets one at a time in the magazine that's in the weapon. Just something I felt that was worth bringing up.

[@ronankerrigan7821]

[@Sad_Elf]

It's not the visual aspect, it's the feeling it invokes, the frustrating puzzles, the slow pacing, the clunk of the controls themselves, scooting by on fuck all supplies, the bosses that can tank ludicrous amounts of damage and that ever present tension that re4 to 6 lacked entirely, it's like putting dark souls and salt and sanctuary beside each other, one's 2d and the other 3d but they have the same feeling while playing them even if they're not presented the same

[@awhitehead]

@@Sad_Elf I couldn't disagree more. RE4 had plenty of tension, especially early on. Same with 5 - the native villages midway through the game were tense, even if they would turn into a horde mode later on. It feels like GMan entirely ignores Revelations too.

[@sampleentry5253]

Che mervana Yeah, this game takes the most tedious parts of RE games and exacerbates them to a ridiculous degree. I get going for a "realistic" angle, but if that realism bogs down gameplay trying to imitate a system that already works, then it's a terrible implementation that should be removed.

[@ouroldhouse3674]

I appreciate the effort and commitment to survival horror design, but I can't escape the feeling that this is little more than a poor man's Resident Evil 2. It just doesn't do enough of it's own to distinguish it from what inspired it, and so it's ultimately no more than the sum of it's parts. Also the characters are not likable at all, unlike Resident Evil which actually had great characters and often a sense of humour.

[@crozraven]

I think with the reload system, the devs trying to convey a more tactical & careful combat/gunplay, very similar to "Insurgency" games (btw you should totally review those games) & I think it's a pretty neat feature for a survival horror game. But yeah the equipment system is just slow & clunky af, especially if you play with k+m ('cause no support for mouse movement!), which I think the biggest hurdle they need to fix right away. So many potentials with this game imo. I think the devs should prioritize to make the weapon switching & equipment system a lot faster or more dynamic, also maybe fix/put a proper zombie mauling animation (which clearly just a jump cut animation imo).

[@raven800plays]

"Resident Evil: Outbreak" and "Outbreak - File 2" (the more superior Resident Evil Games imo) had a system where if you have a gun and a box of ammo and had to reload, instead of reloading a magazine your character would instead pull out the current magazine and fill it with the box of ammo before slapping it back in. it took longer to reload and was more inconvenient but it was also somewhat realistic. Then when you found a Magazine for your weapon and ammo type you could then refill the magazine with the box of ammo manually and reload faster using those magazines. I think if this game used that mechanic it might have been more tolerable.

1998 and then they go with over the shoulder camera which was used in RE4 in the 2000s LOL

[@Yoshikiraa]

So this is basically Walmart version of re 2 remake

[@TheDsRequiem]

This was going to be the remake, friend.

[@ShadowsFateOfficial]

That's illegal.... Capcom never gave them permission.

[@Floating.Point.]

Rastaman193 It was never going to be ‘’the remake’’, it was just a fan-made bootleg RE2 homage, friend...

[@jamescollinge5043]

I feel like it's not old-school survival horror without a static camera

[@SpecShadow]

Still a good game? But good games don't sell these days. People want "9/10 or go home", from AAA publishers because everything else is inferior and not worth their time. What a time to be alive, when being good is not enough to sell. Like - suddenly gamers don't want have fun but something that re-invent wheel or whatever. And complain, a lot.

[@acewolfgang276]

You kidding how did Anthem or those other live service games do?

[@AAllen-br8it]

No, it's probably not getting any attention because that void is being filled by the RE2 remake. Which is exactly what this looks like it was heavily based on. The ammo mechanic is actually really cool too.

[@kveller555]

It's apparently the other way around. The RE2 remake was based (or at least inspired) on this team's work.

[@scherdieny]

I haven't played it yet, so my opinion is based strictly on what I've seen, but this game looks like the case where the devs should have waited and polished more some details before releasing. It looks to be way too clunky and stiff at times. I don't know much about game developing but seems like a remarkable job for such a small team, nevertheless.

[@MySplatterhouse]

"Resi" like and will have a physical release, I'm sold.

[@Geezerachi]

Great review. Really like your reviews.

[@Bhethar]

I am more than happy to buy it with all of its shortcomings. This is a labour of passion. I hope that if the game will have enough success the developer might be able to make more games like this!

[@Franku_4]

I recently got this game from GOG, I guess as a promotion because the prequel is coming out soon. I guess they did an update to the reloading mechanic as there is an option in the beginning to play "modern mode" which supposedly ditches the magazine reloading stuff. I still went with the original as it's realistic and makes sense.

[@aznablethesternritter9634]

I do believe that Daymare started life as a fan remake of RE 2 that got shut down by Capcom a couple years before they showed RE2 Remake at E3. A lot of the assets used were most likely intended to be recreations of RE2 enemies/locations but had to be altered.

[@pentalway]

Paul Haddad, the voice actor for Leon in the original Resident Evil 2, did a couple of lines in this game. :)

[@FedorovAvtomat]

Glock and Beretta doing the same damage makes sense. Both fire the same 9x19 round and have very similar barrel lengths and pressures generated during fire. What doesn't make sense is that the MP5 does so little damage. That thing has a longer barrel allowing for more pressure to build and increase muzzle velocity leading to a bigger hit on impact. So it should do more damage than the pistols. Could have balanced it out by adding far more zombies to the campaign that has the MP5.

[@thanevakarian9762]

Pretty cool for an indie game, and they could make some cool survival horror games and improve on this going forward.

[@SanFran51]

It's actually the fan remake of RE2. But Capcom were both impressed but told them they were inspired to remake it themselves and told them to cease the project. So it was rewritten as Daymare 1998 because they didn't want it to go to waste.

[@Theottselmaster]

They took the loading ammo thing from Outbreak. in that you had to load every bullet in the gun if you didn't have a magazine.

[@mikeymaiku]

Damn man that line at 7:55 hits home so hard.

[@LJMpictures]

"A game that self describes itself" haha i love that! this game looks alright! love your reviews man, keep it up

[@narcspector]

Definitely not buying this, unless it drops in price A LOT. Because Im still waiting for RE3make to drop in price....a LOT. Thanks for another excellent review video, for an interesting game that no one else seemed to give a fuck about enough to review.

[@bniy]

Hah 3:42 was that an Silent Hill 2 reference? The old chainsaw in the wood in the middle of nowhere, wire fence, single track trail lookin ass.

[@-redacted_by_youtube]

I had forgotten about this game then somehow it popped up and I came back here to see if you enjoyed it. I just bought it.

[@nicanon01]

so pretty much..u can tell the love for RE that they have but...i dont think this guys understand its functionality, how and why does it work..but u know its a fan and amateur game so its oka its understandable

[@adamc18]

I never even heard of this game until yesterday when I found it on sale in the bargain bin at GameStop lol. Just finished chapter 3 and I'm enjoying it so far (I'm playing on "modern" mode because it removes the atrocious reload mechanic, but it also removes the infinite ammo boxes so you can easily run out of ammo during boss fights) but I absolutely despise how bullet spongey everything in the game is. Some zombies will take 3 or 4 point blank shotgun blasts to the face and still continue to get up and chase you, and the bosses have such massive health reserves that every boss fight uses up literally all my ammo. That dual boss fight at the helicopter crash site took me like 15 tries because I kept running out of ammo before they were dead. At that point, it's not a fun challenge anymore, it's just obnoxious.

[@9ALiTY]

So basically Discont RE2 Remake

[@benflashman7320]

Resident evil outbreak had that clip mechanic, for faster reload use your clip or if not you will be forced to reload one bullet at time, And it was frustrating. I wish if they didn't add that realistic part of reloading your gun

it needs a great man to make a great review. Thanks ginger boy.

[@michaelfranke8622]

Probably going to pick this up eventually since it looks like a lot of love went into this and I remember being excited for it when it was RE2 fanremake. However I hope horror games stop having deliberately clunky and unintuitive conrtrols and interfaces because “that’s what old games did” yeah but they’ve moved on and so should you. Don’t handicap your game for the sake of authenticity. It pains me when horror games do that. Still checking this out though next chance I get because I love third person survival horror so much

[@peposo7]

Actually, managing bullets & mags does make sense. Almost every time he says "I don't remember doing this" on a 20 year old game, I say: "thank God". Now, I'm waiting for a 1st person version of this. Being able to stabilize aiming by breathing, having opponents react differently when being shot on certain spots, and maybe even use stealth tactics.

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

Stabilizing your aim when aiming behind cover would also be cool, like your character props the gun onto their cover.

[@chevypreps6417]

I would pick up this game if it didnt have the useless puzzles.

[@adamfrazer5150]

If the game paused or even slowed and if the mags you load manually carried some buff(s) or conveyed a benefit... Or how about any ammo loaded in the not-pause gave you buffs ? I don't think it's unwelcome to keep trying with new methods to build/boost tension or indicate the importance of being ready when you set out into a mission.
