Hello Gamers,
Wow! A post that took two months to write (lol)!
Today, I wanted to talk about a discussion a friend and I had a couple of days ago. We both enjoy the occasional zombie game, but we both have different tastes. He's a fan of the Left 4 Dead series, while I'm a lover of the Resident Evil series. We had a discussion on which zombie is better; the one from L4D or RE? I'll point out some of differences in three categories.
For this category, I'm just going to compare the standard zombies from L4D (AKA Brain Dawgs) to the standard zombies in RE. When it comes to taking bullets to the head, the zombies in RE are going to win. If you've ever played the original RE, you'll know that it would be suicide to go in a room with ONE zombie and then attack it with a knife. Reason: Because the zombies in RE don't feel pain (not to mention the T-Virus allows extra strength) and the L4D brain dawgs are basically humans except for they are stupid. It take one bullet to kill a standard brain dawg in L4D, while it takes about five to the head in RE to put one down.
I'm not sure if I should add this category, since it depends on what spooks you out, but I thought I would list the two and let you decide which is more creepy. Left 4 Dead: The brain dawgs gather in groups and attack you in hundreds. They don't walk, they RUN until they reach you or they're shot to the ground. Special brain dawgs like the Hunter add suspense since you can only hear him, not see him. Knowing he's around makes you fearful because if you're tackled by him, you can't get up without help. The Witch is also creepy. If you startle her...you know what I mean. Resident Evil: Sure, there isn't that many of them in one room, but when you see one coming towards you every so slowly, you start to feel a little bit worried after shooting it repeatedly, but doesn't slow down. Even after it's put down, it can get back up as a crimson zombie, one that is fast and more deadly. You also face boss zombies that are extremely hard to kill and will take almost every single bullet you have to kill it.
Here I wanted to talk about what things both zombies have that sets them apart. In Left 4 dead, you have the standard brain dawgs, which although they're weak, there are tons of them that come after you. You also have the special infected like the Smoker who can attach to prey via his tongue and strangle them from far distances. They also have the boss infected like the Witch and the powerful Tank. This is by far the strongest brain dawg in Left 4 Dead. He'll charge you and then punch you until you're dead. He can also throw objects at you to knock you down from high places. Resident Evil has the tough zombies, but they lack speed and agility. They do have the boss zombies like Nemesis who is pretty much the hardest zombie to kill. In the end though, if you put zombie VS brain dawgs, the zombie is going to win. Not because of how fast it is, but because the brain dawgs lack brain power and would just rush in and attack.
WINNER: Resident Evil Zombies
