SkeletonHero posted:It's good but it has a really stupid final chapter, wherein Jill and Chris go to a location they shouldn't know or care about to confront a guy who shouldn't be alive, to learn information they already know and he would have no reason not to give them, but instead he attacks them in a way that will guarantee his death no matter what, despite not knowing who they are. And this all comes after the climactic giant monster/rocket launcher/helicopter escape sequence. Yeah, none of that is true. It's too complicated by half, sure, but nothing in that spoiler is accurate. (They find out about the ship's location from Quint, who hacked into the FBC's computer to get it; they care about it because Norman is there, and whether he's alive or dead, he's got evidence of Lansdale's crimes on him; they may know Lansdale is dirty, but they can't prove it, so they're there to get the evidence; and Norman is half-insane when they find him because Chris and Jill showed up about ten minutes after an FBC strike team that killed all of Norman's surviving allies and almost killed Norman himself, so he assumes they're reinforcements for that strike team.) There's one element of Revelations that plays a reasonably prominent role in Revelations 2 (Neil turns out to be one of Lansdale's weirdly loyal lieutenants, and his whole motivation in the game is to get a virus from Alex that he can use to repeat Lansdale's whole scheme), but yeah, it doesn't have a ton going for it as far as series relevance to date. It does set a lot up, if Capcom ever goes back to use it (since both Jessica and Raymond survive, and Lansdale is still technically on the board despite being in prison), but none of it's paid off yet.

Honestly I found Rev1 pretty memorable. I think it loses something a bit once it gets to the endgame with multiple ships and such but it has some pretty interesting setpieces and I enjoyed the "horrifying half-sentient beasts" version of the undead they did more than the very similar Molded.

I mentioned it a while back, but almost everything I thought I remembered about Rev1 was actually in 5. Taking a break from the series after doing 7/4/5/6 in pretty quick succession, but I'm looking forward to seeing whatever weirdness is in it when I'm ready to come back.

Thinking about the combination, I just realized Lara Croft almost fits into the world of Resident Evil, like her parents were the ones supplying Umbrella brass priceless artifacts for their mansions. Also possible that Lara is herself a B.O.W.

He is the Nolan North type in that he is everywhere and in everything even if he's not voicing a main character. But he's stuck in Yo/Sas uke mood voice alot of times these days. and of course it's very obvoiusly him whenever he has to raise his voice.

This is the synopsis shown to me for the Netflix show. Looks like it's taking things in a new direction, lots of new characters. Not quite sure where it fits into the overall story, though... what game did Qing Ming appear in, again?

"The Progenitor Virus was actually of demonic origin. Found in the corpse of a mysterious horned demon known as Sparda it is the ultimate combination of human science and hell's most powerful warrior." Boom. Crossover of the centure.

I was playing Devil May Cry 5 last night and when the big bad evolved into his second form, I remembered at that moment it was a Capcom game as it was covered with eyes. Seriously, when I take over Umbrella I'm raising R&D funding 25% to figure out how to not make giant, weak eyes on my creations.

So in response to the Zero hate that I've noted recently, which I somewhat share, I irresponsibly fired up Zero on an actual gamecube this weekend because I unexpectedly had some free time that I was not planning on. So on the one hand, to me and to many others, Zero is a generic-feeling slog, particularly given its place in historical context, where it was released after Code Veronica, but in close proximity to REmake, with REmake just blowing it out of the water in every possible way. In context, however the modern gamers feel now, CV was amazing on dreamcast with slightly improved graphics and minor improvements on the oldschool formula, while still being punishing and legit without genre saturation. As in, back then there was still some unironic coolness in the formula. But I think that was where we ran out of gas on the oldschool formula. Some will argue that it peaked with RE2 on PSX, I'll argue that it peaked with RECV in 2000 on DC, whatever, not arguing--the bottom line is that I have no doubt that we all agree the peak happened well before Zero came out. So then there's Zero, which is uninspired and just tired due to there having already been all these games with the same formula. So through the lens of today, Zero just seems mediocre. However there's a subset of the population for whom RE games, particularly with classic formula, have a special juice, a special zeitgeist due to how/when they first played/encountered them. You know, the boys and girls around 12-13 who stayed up all night for whatever reason playing it, one of their first games, etc--who imprinted on that formula-- for those people, the classic RE lifers, something like Zero isn't a slog, it's comfort food. I'm actually not one of those, but I try to look for the positive, and while Zero not the most inspired RE game, it's competent all around in that it makes you work a little bit. It makes you run around. It makes you soak in the atmosphere that it's trying to convey. That's what it's about. It was more effective in the old days because we hadn't done it a thousand times. By Zero it's less effective, but that is neither here nor there. Anyway, what I'm coming around to is that if we see Zero as oldschool comfort food instead of an attempt to be in some way the next step for the series, it comes off much more favorably.

I can’t agree because Zero made significant changes to that comfortable formula that actively made almost everything else in it worse. It’s familiar while also being very different. It looks like something I know how to work but it actually doesn’t work like that.

Zero is worse than CV in my opinion because the setting is dull (except the train, that's good), mechanically it's a pain to manage two characters whilst also hocking around a hookshot and having no item boxes, and the monsters are stupid garbage like monkeys and leech people. It looks great though.

Eh, I guess it's subjective. I think they're better than CVX's monsters, like the Amazing Longarm Pizzaface.

The look of the monsters in Zero is actually one of the things I like about it because mostly they’re recognizable scientific testing animals, either through movies or real life. That was the case in the some of the other games too but not as explicitly so.

I prefer Zero to CVX because CVX is just way too long, way too ugly and has Steve and Wesker. Also, I know "it's Resident Evil lol" but CVX's voice-acting is almost RE1 levels of bad. 2 and 3 were not good but they weren't that bad. CV is just every villain going HA-HA-HA-HA-HA in a very, very forced way. Tidus was more believable. CV really wanted to have a more plot heavy RE game but they couldn't write to save their lives so I'll take Zero's minimalist style.

Lack of item boxes in RE0 was a misguided attempt to solve complaints about the small inventory size. In practice you can mostly just dump everything in the main hall of the training center and nothing is ever too far away from it. The bit that makes it really suck is the hookshot. Even if you move it from the train crash to the main hall, when you finally need it again after the bat, the training facility is filled with the monkeys and you have to take a long way around to the main hall that goes through tons of them. You have to know that before you move the observatory tower to shift everything over to it, which you'd have no reason to think to do on a first playthrough. So you probably fight the bat, lose tons of health and ammo, realize you need the hookshot and then have tons of monkeys to fight through. poo poo sucks.
