Howdy ladies and gents, here's my first ever thread here, hope it's a memorable one.
Obviously this can't be a vs or "which game is better" thread. RE5 has been out for a few months and BAA won't come out for a few months. No, for awhile I've been kicking this idea around in my head, with game engines and developers aside... I have been thinking that you could put Batman from BAA(with the free flow combat, the silent predator gameplay, and his gadgets) in the enviornment of Resident Evil 5 (complete with the enemy AI) and I think it could mesh very well without compromising much on either end. I'm not saying it would be perfect(having Batman in the middle of the day in the African dessert is more TBATB style) but I think it could be a good game experience.
I'll give you reasons with combat and stealth. Combat would be easy, swarms of enemies come after both Chris and Batman. The only difference is Batman gets punched and kicked while Chris gets grabbed and devoured. And they both get attacked by blunt objects, knives, and guns. So Free Flow Combat would completely work for infected townspeople, the only difference is Batman could have to shake off people who grab him just like Chris does, but he could counter that before they grab him. Axes, knives, and other weapons, Batman would have to vault over to avoid attack.
When it comes to the infected people with AKs, those levels could be reworked to be more along the lines of Silent Predator style, and with the HUGE rooms that you regularly see as Chris and Sheeva... there could be plenty of grapple points and places to hide.
And then finally, if you face bigger enemies(guy with axe, chainsaw guys, 9 foot tall Majini tribesman, lickers, bugs) that could be more like facing the venom enhanced thugs only you have to dodge their specific attacks. Plus those could be more gadget oriented enemies where you would have to use the batarang or batclaw to take them out.
I'm not too sure how you could work the boss battles but if anybody has any ideas... go ahead and post them. That's what this nonsensical thread is for. But yeah, Batman vs Resident Evil 5... it's my first thread and I hope you enjoy it as much as I've been thinking about it. :D
