Anyone been to this gaming forum? http://joyfreak.com I think I was among the top 20 people to sign up there, which I think was back in 2019. Lately I have wondered about the forum overall; I keep seeing replies in threads that look like a bot was replying rather than writing like how a proper user would. Very generic. Much of the new members are getting banned on there, so I am sceptical.

Eden Lake. 😐 Youngsters can be so evil.

I know. It's hard to grasp why they couldn't just go with that dumb blue Umbrella storyline RE7 began, instead of the Countess Dracula crap they decided to go with in RE8. I gathered they just kept the franchise going years ago, essentially for the money side of it. And I have always had a hard time comprehending why their devoted fans still support them after they got caught copying people's material in the past. Plus, their current engine isn't that great anyway. You know? Everything looks too smeared, the plot is an absolute joke, and darkened discoloration is evident in every set piece... But hey. In other news. 🙂 https://youtu.be/isRsJs6QQwE

I'm cautious myself. One of the upcoming games is set in Japan, but I don't know why. Silent Hill is in Maine, or at least someplace in New England. Now it's like RE and Capcom, where they just use the name to create loosely connected storylines. Because by God, the plot in RE no longer makes any sense. Ethan Winters may as well have been Harry Potter, or Van Helsing. LOL. But now Silent Hill could be in for the same fate.

Hmm... I have no idea what this was supposed to be. https://wccftech.com/silent-hill-the-short-message-was-removed-from-the-taiwanese-rating-boards-database/amp/ There had been speculation that it was a P.T. style demo, for a new game. But that's all I know, because it began as a rumour that didn't conclude to anything. For all anybody knows, it could be for a game that was in development in secret, before being cancelled. The problem with Konami is that they're inclined to announce something, then we get radio silence for ages before getting either wonderful news, or something we dreaded. It's always a 50/50 thing.

I believe more news on the Silent Hill series is imminent. 😉 https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2023/05/rumours-about-ps5-exclusive-metal-gear-solid-silent-hill-and-castlevania-send-the-web-potty

I've not heard much about their upcoming Silent Hill games following their late 2022 showcase event, but Steam was updated recently to say the SH2 remake is "coming soon." But over the summer, there ought to be news.

Here is the latest trailer for Resident Evil: Death Island. It's awesome to see that Jill is finally back, and that she will be meeting Leon and Claire. I don't know if the new animated RE movie counts as being anime, as such.

It has been "replaced" by Summer Game Fest.

If any company knowingly milks their franchises, it's certainly Capcom. It's not as if Naughty Dog make new The Last of Us games an annual or a near annual tradition like Resident Evil has been, since the introduction of the RE Engine. If Naughty Dog were to do that, their seal of quality would become anus gravy. No. Rather, I can appreciate their attention to detail so the game comes out right. Sans of course, the awful PC port of the first game. But they are working to address the technical issues. I wouldn't say they're milkers as much as Capcom. To be honest, I don't really read about them in the press nearly as much.

This is how you redeem yourselves, Konami. You do right by your fans. 😊 https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/konami-opens-new-studio-in-osaka-as-it-celebrates-50th-birthday-3425115

All of what you're seeing is cut. Yes, spoilers ahead. Michael Does Life was streaming about it, while playing the full game. Go to his community tab at your own risk.

Man, half of these so-called "next gen" games are normally receiving PS4 ports. 😅 I held off getting a PS5 until last year, and this is still going on!?

https://youtu.be/tUTrBXdVPAE Besides RE4, there's also this cool looking CG RE movie. And Jill will be in it. 😘

This guy cracks me up. 😄

Yes. I have it and the little known PS2 sequel in my box of retro horror games. Never really played them.

Oh yes. Do gimme. 😃

Strap yourself in. "Hey! What did I tell you!? Don't touch anything!" I can't wait until they meet Bill. 😄

I remember people saying the fog and the radio in the SH games was also because of the limitations of the era, but they became a staple or recognisable asset to the series. Even the little doot doot sound when you pick up something, I like. You know it's a SH game if you hear the little noise.

Well, I'd say yes, they are important. But I think in RE games, they are making everything too quiet and dark. There's barely any music. You can add the original soundtrack, which just feels meh. But really. The graphics aren't bad, but they just want everything to be too dark throughout practically every room you go into. It's not like that in older RE games. I still think the RE[1] remake on the GameCube has the most peachy graphics, despite coming out all the way back in 2002. I think it was out in March that year, but I got it in September, as the PAL release was late. If you had an Action Replay device, you could actually use it to play import games from other regions, months before it hit shelves wherever you may be. That was nifty, but then cheats got done away with, as well, it's cheating. Ain't it? I don't really like RE much anymore. It's not just because they are too dark. It's mainly just because the story is ass gravy now, and I think Capcom has hired some lame writers for their games. Plus, I don't know what to make of some of the zany stuff in RE8. But nonetheless, I felt it was a good series up to a point. And I do like RE4, as a general game judged by itself. Although it's hardly a sequel, as the plot is about the parasites in Europe. But it's not really like the previous games, which is why I say it's like RE had basically been turned into a new IP altogether, yet the name was carried across. And most of the games since 2005 have been uneven Steven. You know? But anyway, that's just because Capcom wanted to do different things each time, so of course some results will be bad, but some will still be effective.

I wonder if they're going to have Ada's red dress as an unlockable. In my opinion, she should have had it from the start anyway, and the combat outfit should have been an extra costume. They're totally changing up her character.

Provided it's not essential, I don't mind. Still feels unnecessary. Back in the day, you didn't buy content. You unlocked it, and could give yourself kudos. But it's 2022. That's just how the industry works now. https://www.dualshockers.com/resident-evil-4-remake-will-include-in-game-purchases-according-to-esrb-summary/

The RE4 remake is due out in March, and already I am seeing rumours that there will be microtransactions... Uh, can I have a quiet wee word, Capcom? 🤭 Like for example, in the original RE4 you could use a red beam on your guns to aim at enemies. But it seems that you're now going to have to buy this feature. So I would not be surprised if you have to buy your German Suplex counter move as well. 😆 In all seriousness, that's rather shoddy. 🤑

Saw II. Imagine having to remove your own eye to retrieve a key. 😧
