Or is it a no-go with The Gamers because it was a Taiwan-exclusive port?

It's really a bad game to begin with. It was never re release not even on the PSN store.
I mean i did sort of enjoy it back in 00. But it's one of the few games i would not put a dime if it was re released.
I think that Capcom agrees with me, the game is just bad and it would sell even worst than in 00

I do remember Resident Evil Zero did give a shoutout to Resident Evil: Survivor by name dropping Sheena Island during the intro.
So, unless Capcom has stated otherwise since 2002 it at least seems to be canon?

Never played Survivor myself and only every watched a Longplay ages ago. So, please humour me: Why is the game so bad?

Back in 00, arcades were still a thing, there were many games that use handguns, rifles or other type of gun. Time Crisis 1 and 2. Silent Scope series, etc.
So when Capcom announced Survivor, everyone was expecting it to be like that. On rail shooter. The PSX already had games like time crisis, there was the guncon and even other light guns even some had pedals.

What we got? A first person shooter, that reused assets from Resident Evil 1 and 2, it was not on rail but you had to walk and it was clumsy because it was the same tank controls you had in RE1-3 but now in first person...
Worst the US version did not support lightgun..
Truly a cash grab for a console that was at the end of it's life cycle.


Survivors series are mostly bad games, Chronicles series on the other hand are what the survivor should have been from the start.

I've seen the port of Survivor. It requires so much work.... It's such a broken mess. It's literally unplayable.

It would have to be redone from the ground pretty much.

Thanks. So what I get is the controls were bad. That really is something that can kill the fun out of any game. Kinda reminds me of the Wii port for Obscure 2. Not sure if comparable, though.

I used to hate Survivor when it was first released and only beat it once. It wasn't until Aydan Watkins' mod of this game making it with the classic tank controls and fixed camera that got me to appreciate this game more and have beat it a few more times within the last year. I mean it has a pretty good dark story, good music and is just fun to play IMO. It's definitely no where the near the quality of RE1-CV but still like I said, just a little fun RE to play and beat in like an hour or less. That said, I'd actually be interested in seeing GOG take this on.
