i dont think resident evil fans actually like resident evil games because like… esp ppl who only play the modern/remake games when they play an older one theyre like “why is there so much exploration? why is the inventory so small? wtf are the item boxes for? the puzzles are too hard! fixed camera angles!!!” like…. That is Resident Evil. it is survival horror. you need to survive. you need to plan your resources accordingly. you’ll miss items if you’re not careful enough. you have to choose which puzzles to do and when. you need to be strategic about when you save. should you kill those zombies or run past them? is it worth it using a shotgun on a zombie when you have your knife? what grenade ammo do i wanna craft? like im sorry but thats how resi started not the actiony hand-holdy bs it is now

#resizura rants #like unfortunately all the games r more action like re4 #i cant finish village because the puzzles make me mad cause theyre not puzzles. #oh u can only go thru one door #oh look wine #hmm this probably goes in the only other room thats unlocked #like yippee #but idk when people complain ab re1make or re0 being annoying to play #because of the Core Mechanics That Make Them Resident Evil Games #i get annoyed as hell #literally like ‘why do i have to apply survival skills to this survival horror?’

[silenthill2ps2]

i feel like re5 can’t be salvaged cuz the plot itself is so racist no matter how hard they try to fix it if they try to remake it. just no more remakes please re4 remake is already peak

#al post #i'm gonna say it. i don't want a code veronica remake cuz of the transmisogyny alone and idk how capcom would handle #*handle it #just rerelease it + re1make as well #ok back to writing yaoi

[landlordevil]

as much as I’m excited for p3 remake (and believe me I am) I’m gonna be that persona fan and say they should have ported the remake of megami ibunroku persona to the PC and/or current gen consoles and remade P2: IS and P2:EP first. P3 plays great already and the graphics have aged pretty well. but getting either persona 2 game without emulating is near impossible and some of the game mechanics are completely different than the 3/4/5 mechanics which probably alienates a lot of people. and I could see venus and callisto in HD

#and ULALA is in it ok???? and MAYA??? AND EIKICHI??? #i could go on. but i have to be somewhere #they could also reremake p1 but that's just too much for me. #like when people are campaigning for re1make to get remade. like chill out? i feel like companies get one try and that's it

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

like going in i kind of assumed re6 would be the worst game but that was before i even really knew what outbreak or the chronicles games were its insane how much it managed to completely lap those like its not even close a little bit and those games are SO fucking bad*

#orc was the only thing i figured would get close and it would if this series didnt insanely overcommit #to horribly untested and unlikeable gameplay design concepts #and just did the normal game series thing of half assing some really generic concept (which is what orc is) #*the re1make part of umbrella chronicles is fine.

[lstr-master-of-unlocking]

I have made a discovery

So we all know that really stupid lore contrivance in Death Island where jill inexplicably looks like RE3MAKE jill despite it being decades later with the explanation of 'T virus slowed her aging'? Well, I don't actually think this is Death Island's fault! Jill, actually, for real, hasn't aged significantly since RE1. She's kept her RE1MAKE appearance in every piece of media she's been in since. It makes sense that Death Island would use her RE3MAKE appearance then, since it's both assumedly now her canon appearance for the events of RE3 and the only high fidelity version of her. This isn't even the first time the series has made a vague nod towards jill responding differently to the T virus, with RE5 having wesker notice this after capturing her. I'm by no means saying what death island's doing isn't at least a little disappointing, but it's not out of nowhere, and it's not out of pure laziness.

As for her being dressed so similarly to how she dressed in RE3MAKE, this actually seems to be kinda the standard for the death Island cast, with Claire being dressed how she was in RE2MAKE, Chris being dressed how he was in Vendetta, and leon, at least in some scenes, being dressed similarly to his late game RE4MAKE appearance.

scared about re5make but i can only hope to g-d people will mod for Chris Redfield as severely as they have leon s kennedy . when i was trying to find them for original re5 or re1make even it was damn near impossible or they were gone . i Know They Have To Be There Somewhere .

your hc of 40 yo leon going full dicaprio absolutely killed me. but so, i was wondering, since you mentioned this was about OG leon and not remake leon, where do you draw the line between OG and remake in terms of movies? do you consider that every cg movie featuring leon is OG leon, including death island and infinite darkness, or do you consider that cg movies that have been released AFTER the re2 remake can be apart of the remake timeline, let's say? cause if capcom decides to go for a whole new canon it would be really cool, but then i wonder how they would categorise the movies. logically i'd say the movies are still apart of the og timeline since they're built on the og events. but if the remake canon theory turns out to be true, it will be interesting to see where the movies fall in terms of timeline

Look, man, I'm just sayin. With Leon being "The Protector" archetype, there's no way this man doesn't have a nurture kink. And if he's going to be filling in a nurturing role with girls who are going to want to call him Daddy, he may as well just go all the way with it and fuck girls who are legitimately young enough to be his daughter. Just go full YOLO with it, because it's either that or drink more.

anyway

Basically, I'm going off how the title logo looks. If it's in the style of RESIDENT EVIL then it's remake series. They're the only games that do this because the R and the E being red is supposed to be like. RE-Resident Evil 2, aka, Remake-Resident Evil 2.

And I look at it this way because, if the intention is to make the remake games their own spinoff series, Capcom is going to have to find a way to clearly label which title goes where. And right now, the only thing that's been uniform and distinctive among the remake titles has been the coloring of the logo.

So, yes. All of the CGI movies are OG canon, including Infinite Darkness and Death Island -- especially Death Island, since it's being referred to in marketing as a direct sequel to Vendetta. Literally only the remakes of 2, 3, and 4 are in the remake "timeline" so far.

Though I guess you could throw the original REmake in there, too -- because the events of the Spencer Mansion incident still had to have happened for RE3make to happen, so. It would have to be the original REmake, even if the logo isn't uniform.

At least for now. Who knows, Capcom could go stone cold fuck nuts and remake RE1 again just for the remake series or someshit.

But other than RE1make, there will be no overlapping titles. That's the point of making it a new series. The remake series isn't bound to anything the OG canon has done, and they can (and will) throw shit the fuck out that they don't want in there anymore -- especially the CGI movies, because they're not games and no one is attached to them and no one cares. So, if they don't want Damnation to happen in the remake-verse? Bye. BYE DAMNATION. SEE YA.

#like an important distinction here is #even though RE1 still had to have happened in the remake verse #RE0 very much does not #as far as i'm concerned RE0 is not canon in the remake timeline #sorry billy #you can come play with the remake gang once you get your glow-up

3 4 5 and 6 for the ask game!

3. any characters you feel were done absolutely DIRTY by capcom? are they victims of wasted potential or character assassination or what? 

i think a majority of us would say jill here LMAO she hasn't been heard from since re5 and that is SUCH a disservice. but i'm worried that they'd fuck her up at this point so maybe it's for the best. i also think piers was a complete waste of potential because if they were going to start cycling out the main four (which honestly they should bc let's face it: they're getting up there), he 100% should have been chris's replacement

4. what was the first game you played?

the first game i remember playing extensively was re4 (my dad played it, technically), but i believe we played one before that. not sure if it was og re1 or og re2 though. the first one i played myself was either og re2 or re4 :)

5. whats your favorite save room theme? 

definitely re4, it's just so nostalgic to me <3 i love the re1make's save theme too!

6. any nonplayable characters you wish were playable? 

umm... well i would have said the hound wolf squad but they're in re:verse now and i can't rly think of anyone else atm!

23 and 27 for the gaming asks!

23. A “Wow” moment of awe

Already answered so I guess I'll say another >:) I can't remember when exactly it was, but while I was playing Aragami there were so many moments while playing that I was in awe. I loved the way it's stylised, I loved the main game mechanic of shadow and light, I loved reading the lore scrolls, I love playing this game!

27. A game you love the atmosphere of

Honestly? Re1make

It feels thick and heavy and kind of liminal in a way because the Spencer Mansion is just so... Off? Especially when youre reading lore files and there's just this sense of dread... It's really cool I like it

Idk why but I just don’t like the new portrayal of Wesker. It’s a great design, who doesn’t love a waistcoat, Craig Burnatowski did a fantastic job with the character’s voice (reminds me of Re1make Wesker which was personally my fave), but my brain is just meh about it. They literally got a model as his new face model and I couldn’t be arsed. Perhaps it’s the flatness, maybe I’m comparing it to Re5 too much, maybe Re5make might actually be good.

hi, i am putting this on anonymous because i am shy. what are some themes you would like/wish the remakes to expand on?

I'm answering this late I am very sorry

SO this is a lot for me to think about and hopefully i can keep it concise because I tend to ramble

Put under a 'Read More' because this will be super long

To start, I think that I just wish Capcom wouldn't be so lukewarm with its themes. This is probably the biggest problem because (to me, at least) it can't focus on what it wants to tell the audiences.

They are obviously trying to make the series way more "serious" and yet they completely tone down its foundational messages. Sure some of that has to do with the more actiony tone it took after RE4, but let's just back up to the original trilogy.

RE1, RE2, and RE3 were essentially a three-part and yet self contained story that followed a small cast of police officers (save claire and carlos) during the zombie apocalypse. An apocalypse that was caused by corporate greed and the need to capitalize and profit off of scientific research for militarization purposes. While a little silly and outlandish in the final product, the three games (especially 2, IMO) have great storytelling and execution of its themes. Umbrella and Raccoon City Police are corrupt, and there are terrible ethics surrounding BOWs.

Now compare that to the remakes. Now, RE1make is my favorite remake because it kept the original feel and look to the game, kept the story relatively the same, and improved on it in terms of voice lines, graphics, and gameplay. The only major change is adding Lisa Trevor, who I think is a great addition because we get to follow the Trevor family through the game and get a look at how Umbrella exploited them and made them into monsters, a personal touch on something hard for us to comprehend.

RE2make and RE3make on the other hand.... well now we have around 20 extra years of Resident Evil to influence these and if you're familiar with my blog, you'll know that story wise, I do not like these games (especially RE2make). These games changed so much of the original story to make them more "realistic" and in the process, sort of lost the plot. Too many times in the modern remakes, things happen that hint to something from the original games but overall? It's not there.

As an example, I want to go over specifically how the police chief Brian Irons is portrayed. In the original game, the player learns little bits about him through files. We know he's dangerous, violent, and has been taking bribes from Umbrella. The bribes are to help him have control over the city. He was highly influential in the Spencer Mansion cover up, where his main role was shutting down STARS so they wouldn't be able to investigate the incident. He worked directly with William and Annette Birkin and took bribes to prevent police from investigating the sewers so their lab work was undisturbed. In RE2, we see him spiraling because "Umbrella destroyed his beautiful town." He traps and kills police officers and innocent civilians, basically rants to Claire about how power hungry he is and he is the one who gets to choose who lives and dies in his police station. Basically, we see point blank that Irons is egotistical and wants nothing more than to keep that power for himself. A corrupt police chief who shows how money and power twist a person for the worse.

In RE2make, he is reduced to just a sick man who physically beats up the young female characters and just wants to torture people. While the bribes are still (briefly) mentioned in this game most of Irons' character is now "Look at how sick this guy is! Isn't he scary? Wow! He's so scary isn't he?" There's nothing about his need and desire for power and control over his city and police station (hell, he leaves the police station 3 seconds after he's introduced!). Sure, you could argue it's implied, but this is a perfect example of Capcom not really committing to something it strongly depicted in the past.

Looking at RE4 Remake, a similar issue occurs! The original game was vehemently anti-American. The file "Our Mission" is the most explicit you can get. Yet the remake tiptoes around it and honestly ends up more patriotic! Leon's role as a government agent is glorified, Ashley wants to be an agent, Krauser gets told off by Leon for not trusting the American government, and the lack of Saddler appearances all contribute to this! Death Island and Infinite Darkness had similar problems of Capcom calling out the American government but then backtracking at the last second. I want them to just stick to a theme for once! Not alluding to one or tiptoeing around it. Say it!

Next on the list is one that I've stated before but the actual ethics and humanity that organizations like Umbrella toy with. A lot of the BOWs feel just like monsters you fight when a lot of them were real people with their lives taken from them. This is also why I liked Lisa Trevor from the first game's remake since she was a human experimented on and we got taken through her and her parent's journeys. OG William Birkin and Remake William Birkin are also perfect examples of this. In the original game you feel like you're fighting Birkin, but in the remake it just feels like a depersonalized monster.

Similarly, I do wish some of the themes were done more tastefully, such as the whole eugenics stuff with Spencer and the Wesker projects. I don't think it should be completely scrapped but I feel like you can't just throw that into your games and barely talk about what it means lmao

This is not really a theme but better perspectives on the female characters. This is purely a personal opinion but I think horror with female protagonists is way cooler than ones with male protagonists, and weirdly enough I think this shift happened when RE4 came out. Jill and Claire were more fleshed out and important characters than Leon and Chris when the OG trilogy came out, but now their roles have been greatly reduced to practically nothing. And why was RE6, a game where a creepy man cloned Ada Wong more about Leon, Chris, and Jake than it was about Ada herself? Also, I wish we could've had either of RE7 or RE8 actually have Mia be the protagonist instead of Ethan because I think either of those games from her perspective would be super cool to experience.

Now that I think about this, I blame this purely on the action shift because even for the male characters, I greatly prefer OG2 Leon, OG2/CVX Chris, CVX Steve than OG4 Leon, OG5 Chris, and DSC Steve (although Remake Carlos is definitely above OG3 Carlos). I want to learn more about Jill, and Claire, and Ada, and Rebecca, and Mia, and pretty much most of the female characters, and I'm so sick of seeing the male characters who are only there because they're cool action heroes.

I wish RE focused more on small communities and small isolated things. I think RE is too big now. Like starting out in a small suburban town affected by murders and experimentation and now like we've gone to multiple parts of the globe and now there's a mold baby with mold superpowers in the future and that mold is actually what started everything (totally not retconned)?? Like let's dial it back.

For the last thing I'll mention is that I wish the remakes focused on the themes of horror rather than just the aesthetics of it. Like yeah, the games are a bit darker and scarier, but they're still more action games now. I loved RE7 because of this, because the Bakers were a good horrific family both in the looks and what they represented!

I think all in all I have a lot of wishes for the franchise and I know it's completely unrealistic to wish about them and sorry for bombarding everyone with this huge wall of text! I have a lot to say lmao

#ask #whoo this was a lot #im sure i missed something too #i wanted to keep talking about re4r's themes and why they make me mad #but! maybe another day #i have a lot to say

[firstaidspray]

I've had re1make paused on my switch for like two weeks straight and I want to play animal crossing but I don't want to waste an ink ribbon to save and turn off re1make

[landlordevil]

re5 doesn’t need a remake for many reasons but you know what numbered title needs a remake? re zero. i’ve played or watched someone play almost every game in the series by now, and i’ve had more fun playing darkside chronicles than re0. i WANT to like it and the first half plays like re1make, and is very fun. and then it keeps going. and you still don’t have an item box or additional inventory. and it keeps going. and there’s MORE locations. and then there’s even more locations. and you have to go back and forth so much to keep what you need just for puzzles and it makes you lose so much ammo... i love billy and rebecca and appreciate the corrupt military angle in billy’s backstory a ton i just can’t finish it without tearing my hair out

#watching cju's lp i was like oh this looks fun! i'll buy it and play it after i finish re1make on my gamecube #and i'm like 3/4 of the way through too it's just SO...
