My two favorite games this generation were Bloodborne and Resident Evil 2 , so this is giving me some hot flashes.

I wasn’t able to watch the reveal is the village looking more like most of the series or does it have some RE4 DNA in it

Golly I loved RE4

It did remind me of RE4 a bit, although I think it seems there may be multiple playable characters judging by the trailer? Either way I'm glad it's not an RE6 style explosion fest

That looks fun and cool, just wish the main characters were Jill and/or Claire rather than boring horn Chris again.

Resident Evil TIX

Having fallen on hard times, Ethan Winters now scalps tickets for a living but unbeknownst to him there may have giant mutant ticks ("tix") living beneath the local sports stadium. Can Ethan save the city, or will he just get "ticked off" in the process?

I won't lie, I chose to give Zoe the serum and I never looked back. It was a non-choice for me, it really was!

RE8 looks like they said gently caress it and leaned into the P.T. / Silent Hill feel even harder and I'm here for it. It looks unlike any RE game I've ever seen but I thought that about RE7 and loved it, it's cool they can make classic remakes while doing experimental stuff at the same time.

Zoe sounded different than she did in the demo so I never trusted her. Your voice should sound the same between releases to build trust IMO.

quote:

The game is set in a strange, snow-capped village, and has a greater focus on combat and exploration compared to Resident Evil 7, according to Capcom. Here's the official blurb:

"Taking place a few years after the events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard, in which protagonist Ethan Winters travelled to Louisiana to search for his missing wife, Mia, Resident Evil Village sees the reunited Mia and Ethan living happily together and putting their shared nightmares of the Baker's plantation house behind them.

"Finally able to move on from those horrifying events, Ethan's world suddenly comes crashing down once again when Chris Redfield, an unexpected yet familiar face makes an appearance, setting off a chain of events that sees a distraught Ethan seeking answers to Chris' shocking actions... and ultimately finding him in a mysterious village.

"Unlike the cramped corridors of the Baker mansion in Resident Evil 7, the fear of dark corners has been replaced with the anxiety of the unknown as Ethan searches for answers within decrepit buildings among snow-covered trees.

"The return of a first-person perspective will bring a visceral edge to combat, as well. Each encounter is a personal fight for survival against terrifying foes, forcing you to keep a watchful eye on the environment and constantly looking for resources and enemies in unknown territory. With a greater focus on combat and exploration compared to Resident Evil 7, the village itself is just as important a character as any other, a location with a life of its own that will frequently keep you on edge as you discover its secrets."

I haven't played like Outlast II but everyone tells me it's a piece of poo poo. You're up against crazy rednecks and your character opts not to defend himself? Also an irrelevant flashback with a pedophile priest eats up a third of the runtime.

Just funny to see how things change, I come from the first couple of console generations where they were better than PCs at release and then they would slowly give ground until the PC was better - then next gen would reset it back to the console being better.

Yeah, I feel there's no way that was anything other than "I'm going to shoot Mia dramatically for this scene in the trailer, then I'll tell you how she was actually super evil and I just saved your life." or some such.

quote:

This next rumour ventures into SPOILER territory, so if you haven’t played RE7, steer clear. Mia and Ethan have a child. Due to the infection in Resident Evil VII, the child is deformed. They live in solitude in an attempt to hide their child. However, Chris Redfield breaks into Ethan’s house, kills the child, and ultimately Mia, too.

It looks really likely it's going to be that. They're probably under heavy surveillance from nu-Umbrella because they're still infected (note the pill sheets that pop up at one point), but by having a child and going into hiding they proved they were a liability so Chris had to come and take them out before another incident occurs.

Oh drat, I'd love that. I assume the PS4 versions of 5 & 6 don't have that, unless I somehow just completely missed it. A shame because I absolutely love that feature but I don't love 5 & 6 enough to rebuy them for it.

'Lei' is the currency of Romania. So this is going to be a RE game set in rural Europe, following someone investigating a cult in a small village with an attached castle...

It's basically setting up to be RE4-2 and I'm totally okay with that :v:

i wonder if the sepia flashback with the tv is (big spoilers from the leak from last week, like story stuff) barrys wife, reading natalia a story. they are gonna kill barry and his wife off arent they

seemed like in the trailer it was mia getting shot to poo poo, i cant remember from the leaks now, but i am assume she still cant die or something?

not sure what that fetus is, theres designs on it i couldnt quite tell. wonder if its connected to rev2
