Don't you tell me my business again.
Bummed I won't get to play RE8 because I aint buying a new console anytime soon.

My Xbone and even my loving Wii offer me enough time to fill with games I still haven't with and I'm way over being a bug tester for new generation consoles. I'm broke as gently caress and brushing up on needing a new car.

So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

I'm 100% here for RE7 set in an RE4-inspired map. Doubly so if we can get it on PCVR.

The prospect of RE7 with RE2R and RE3Rs better combat experience in the engine is pretty exciting.

okay theory time but do we think the woman in white with the witches is grown up natalia? rev2 was 2012 and if this is years after re7 which was 2017 then... could work? mannerisms kinda resemble alex to me but maybe i just want it too much.

I genuinely think this will be the case because IIRC this game began life as Revelations 3!

not true! it began as RE8, then Capcom thought the game was too weird to be a mainline title and bumped it down to being that, and then after it scored really highly in internal playtests they bumped it back up to being RE8.

Game looks loving amazing.

That's so weird honestly because now that you mention it, it IS kind of weird, but I guess not as much after RE7 especially.Continues the general course of RE games going through A LOT before they're released.

Super hype either way.

It's more Ethan and more FPS so I still won't play it, but I'll watch it with even more interest than RE7 to see what happens to Chris. Besides, they're making it sound like a PS5 exclusive.

Kinda hard to see Chris not being voiced by Roger Craig Smith tho.

the website is saying tentative 2021 release, which tells me its not hitting early 2021. given that framerate and covid, i think it will pushed back to go with psvr2, even more so considering no ps4 version.

Yeah, not sure where people get the idea that he doesn't have a personality from. He does, it's just not full "bitch can't even swim" cheesy action hero one-liners all the time. Some of his lines are funny as hell. "Who builds this poo poo?" indeed.

he spends basically the entirety of RE7 actively being "over-this-poo poo" and not wanting to be involved in Resident Evil bullshit, it's hilarious.

They did a great job of integrating it into the gameplay, too. His entire solution to Lucas' "Happy Birthday" puzzle bullshit is to look up the walkthrough and then just completely no-sell the whole thing, because Ethan Winters ain't got no time for your crazy mold person bullshit.

I've ended up skipping RE7 (did play the demo, and have seen people play it etc), but I'll play RE8. It being maybe a bit bigger, a bit less confined and claustrophobic, cooler theme for me too. Looks promising.

I was thinking hopefully RE8 would be a bit more of a mix of what works about RE2 remake etc with RE7's stuff. And third person feels cool for this series in my book. This looks pretty cool though.

Just go through and play 7 if you've been with the series this long. If I can get through it anyone can.

Yeah plus the "wreath" around it with the feathers follow the snake/etc. special locks on various doors in the game. So like the fetus logo is the key to there being werewolves in RE8.

Oh hell yes. Honestly I was hoping that character or Zoe would be someone you play as in RE8 instead of Ethan. Right from the get go when they have him do that like OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS THIS? WHAT'S GOING ON AAAAH rant as you're punching folks out, video games are art.

I was actually really surprised that it was made in-house while the Not A Hero DLC was being outsourced since the latter is much more like a mini-RE game while End of Zoe they just low key made Condemned 3.



Playing RE7 more recently, I know I poo poo on Ethan as a character but I guess my problem is less the character's personality and more that there just isn't enough of it. Like it's crazy how little he has to say at some of the stuff he runs into.

First Jack chase after the family dinner scene. I think he either has to be too close when you try to get into the crawl space or you have to play really poorly and let him damage you too much. I've avoided it every time so far.

I still can't believe any player was expected to figure out that you can use your bare hands to block the chainsaw attacks during the actual Jack Fight when there's more than one instance where the game shows you that a chainsaw can cut your limbs off easily. I don't think I blocked anything for almost the entire game I just kept blasting stuff in the head. I mean I in hindsight having it reattached and you healing by pouring regeneration juice on your hand should have been a clue but I don't know. I think like Condemned they should have let Ethan have a pipe or some other thing that he could defend with at all times if he didn't have a weapon to make it clearer.
