It may not be for anything to do with RE. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/capcom-will-announce-street-fighter-6-on-monday-its-claimed/

Something is going on with Capcom this upcoming Monday. But it's not known if this has anything to do with a RE game. It's quite possible it could be an announcement regarding the DLC for RE8, or something else unrelated to the series. https://www.capcom-games.com/countdown/

Expect Capcom to reveal RE4 very soon!

Third person. I prefer to see the characters I am controlling.

It depends. I think there's a few that are great in the game, like these enemies with the knives on their hands. But in general, it's not a game that is anywhere as atmospheric as the older titles. I think Revelations 2 did a better job of being creepy, despite being in third person. It's not a title many fans mention in the same breath, however.

So if the remake of RE4 will be more horror in tone, I think some RE3.5-ish concepts will resurface, like that "Hook Man" idea they eventually didn't go with. But I'd definitely love a more creepy RE4, because as good as the original is, the game was not exactly renowned for being scary. In fact, the game had too much of a reliance on enemy numbers and things like evading boulders and pits. Hopefully they realize that's more annoying than fun.

I think E3 isn't going ahead this year because of the surge in COVID-19 cases. There will be another major gaming event this summer, though, and it will probably be held online. But I think any DLC for RE8 will be revealed prior to June. That's not likely to be promoted, giving how it's nearly one year old.

I'm not trying to be racist, but I don't see the point in this, when Jill is American, as is Leon. Why so triggered? Sorry for being behind in my ethnicity distinguishing. 😙

Shoot. Shoot like there's no tomorrow. You can also crush their heads by pressing R2 if they're stunned. I hope this news article I found, is accurate. https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-4-remake-new-details-changes-report

So I have been playing RE6 the last few days. I'm surprised that game didn't kill the whole franchise. All you do 98% of the time is shoot various terrorists that are infected. There's no resemblance to survival horror anywhere in that game, despite Leon's campaign including zombies. But it does have some cool moments, if you like action stuff. Those BSAA soldiers usually just stand there, though. The most useless NPC squadron in gaming. LOL.

Called an injustice! 🤑

I wish I knew, quite frankly. The article said nothing. But it is Capcom. They probably just paid her a ton of their money. I think the makers of other games could attempt to sue them too. But there is some things you can copy that you cannot copyright, even if it is obviously copying. It would have to be more precise. Like if an enemy looked the same rather than just behaving the same, that is a different matter entirely. I gave several examples already. In fact, I was talking to a guy I know on the phone recently who was spot on. He agreed that they just look at whatever is trending, and decide to steal ideas, and that is how the industry operates if you are working among money grabbers. It has cheapened their legacy. Shinji Mikami surely doesn't support this garbage. Also, the lies about RE8 being another action focused entry in the series, because 7 was reportedly "too scary" for players in VR, or something, is a very odd thing to say. But that's a lame excuse. Really, very lame. Survival horror games are supposed to be scary. Duh. So why they said that, no idea. You can tell they knew RE8 was a copy of RE4, and they knew RE8 would not be seen as being anything other than action horror.

So I just finished watching RE: Woke Raccoon City (not it's actual title, of course). I think they did a good job being faithful in some regards, and messed up in other ways. Really liked the orphanage scenes and the mansion. But the two plots run concurrently. Some things I didn't like was that Wesker didn't have his sunglasses... until Ada shows up in the mid-credits scene. Also, they replaced Barry with Richard Aiken, who was in the games, but as a member of the STARS Bravo Team. Oh, dear...

Remember Capcom's legal issues from last year? 💣 Well... https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-02-08-capcom-lawsuit-over-stolen-resident-evil-photos-resolved

I came across Welcome to Raccoon City yesterday. Since I needed it for my top ten horror movies collection, I decided to purchase it. Not that I cared much for the Paul Anderson movies of the past. Has anyone seen it yet? Why is Jill now Hispanic? 🤪

I will remain a fan of RE. But I don't want them messing it up anymore. To be honest, though, I think The Last of Us is a better series, despite only having two titles. You can tell Naughty Dog doesn't half-bake their products. Imagine if Capcom took 7 years to develop an open world RE masterpiece. But they won't. That's too ambitious, when their aim is to release new games annually, or at least every other second year.

Truth be told, I was considering giving up talking about RE, maybe on the 14th. I'll make that my last day. I reckon I won't stick to it. But one reason I think I ought to quit, is that I think a lot of people on the Internet don't even support the older titles, and only like RE4 onwards, or RE7. So me posting the same old statements is like beating a dead horse. Plus, I don't like donating to this one particular guy on YouTube anymore. When I donate on YouTube, I don't feel appreciated much now. And I don't really play a wide range of games either. Also had loads of personal issues. But I can't talk about that.

LOL. Huh? 😮

The only good parts in those Wii games was the behind the scenes scenarios where you got to see how Umbrella was defeated. But it was on rails, so meh. Since that time, Capcom has just kept on dropping hints about Umbrella being back, so fans of the old ones will think they'll go somewhere with that, which is something they'll keep you waiting to see so you'll keep buying games for to hopefully see how this will unfold. But to me, I think it's a tactic they use to drag it on forever. At least, I believe so. That, and they will also just keep remaking stuff.

Their first attempt at a "remake" was when a CV section was included in the sequel to The Umbrella Chronicles, entitled The Darkside Chronicles. But it was more bland in comparison to the original, because it had funny parts, and the story was different. Of course, they're surely going to put in more effort for a proper remake to go underway. But that was honestly terrible. Take a look.

I know they're probably going to half-ass it, but there is a small chance they wont do it quite as badly. For I hope they can see that RE3 was a prime example of how NOT to screw up a classic. Of course, I do expect changed plot aspects regardless, and missing enemy types. Because well, that's how Capcom is nowadays. Since they refer to games now as a reimagining, I guess they consider it okay to leave out stuff. Even RE8 is just a repeat of 4. I know RE8 was supposed to be their way of hyping people up, but when you copy your own games now, that's not a good sign. In my personal opinion though, I don't like RE8. It feels like a fantasy game. An unintentional comedy, if you will. That's just not RE, in my eyes. But I hope the DLC at least entertains me, because I haven't had any great games to play now for the better part of a year.

Well, I don't even think the real RE4 remake is coming any month soon. All of the hearsay was just speculation anyway. It would make more sense to remake CV first. If they did RE4 first, that wouldn't make any sense, because CV is set in 1998. I think, if I had to hazard a guess here, that CV will come in 2023 and RE4 in 2025, to match the release date of the original. Also, the original RE4 was out in Japan in January of 2005. So it's just a hunch, going by their habit of releasing games in January. Although RE8 was out in May, but the pandemic probably had an impact on why that happened this way. God. I said 2015. Oops. 😝

I think Capcom has delayed the DLC for RE8. I'm eager to see what the heck it's about, but they haven't posted any updates since E3 last summer. Meanwhile... I think this may interest some people who love RE4. https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2022/2/1/22911418/resident-evil-4-hd-project-remaster-release-date-install-download

The movies are a bit similar to the games, but more so loosely connected. I didn't like the portrayal of some of the game to big screen adaptions of the characters. For example, they made Barry into a wuss. But they are okay movies if you just like them as general movies with zombies, and over the top action.

Unlike RE4 though, I think Revelations 2 was a way more atmospheric third person horror game upon its release. It actually felt creepy in parts, even if other protagonists were helping you. Definitely a very underrated game. But what I don't get is how RE6 is universally panned, when that's a game that gave you more control, and while it was action heavy, it was about a virus, and the plot even had zombies in Leon's campaign. So I don't get how 4 and 5 are praised, while 6 is rarely talked about anymore. 4 and 5 were about the Las Plagas, but that point in RE's history didn't have anything to do with the previous games about Umbrella. Somehow, Capcom just worked a strange story around that, and introduced classic characters again. But besides that, there was little resemblance to any older RE game like CV, or Zero.
