  1. 4 was the one that started the action heavy aspects of the franchise. Although all of them do have a lot of action oriented gameplay, to an extent. But it's almost like they just wanted to copy trends, and radically lower the horror, and they lied by saying RE8 was more action based, because 7 was apparently "too scary", when fans moaned for years to have Capcom go back to being true survival horror. So which is it? And no doubt this lying sadly, I reckon, will be continued...
  2. Long rant ahead... *WARNING* I basically decided to stop caring about the franchise due to online trolls, and overall, Capcom's mismanagement of certain games and characters. And, well, personal issues has made me just not care any longer, since life is short. For a number of years, I feel like Capcom hasn't been fully honest with their fans. For instance, they stole art work for the games, and were legally threatened. And by the way, they ripped off a bunch of movies and games, for RE7 especially, which didn't really feel like a RE game anyway. The Molded look so basic, because Capcom just wanted a new creature design that was plain easy to make on the screen. They just wanted to copy Outlast type games as well, and probably due to the fact that Silent Hills was cancelled into the bargain, they wanted to change over to the first person perspective. Yet everybody praised it. Although personally, it was strictly okay to me, but nothing like the classic games. Even RE6 (which I know many fans dislike) is more of a RE game than 7 is, because it had zombies, and many returning characters were featured. Perhaps a critical failure, but more in line with what RE used to provide than with 7, and especially 8. Plus, the C-Virus makes you think of the T and G-Viruses, because of the name. But yep. It could also remind you of COVID-19, so oops. RE8 (aka Village) is not necessarily so crap, I would not recommend it. But it's very underwhelming as a RE game. Feels mostly like an action game with Chris at least looking like Chris (instead of that lame new actor they got for the ending scene and DLC in RE7), but now he is making dumb, headstrong decisions and concealing info from Ethan Winters (the faceless new "face" of RE) just to pad out the story, and the bosses are laughable, even for RE standards. Like, a mutant baby, vampires, a robot, and a living doll are your antagonists this time around. Like, yeah, okay. RE4 had ogres and a pirate midget, and there was also a statue based on the pirate that somehow activates, and you have to run away, and the two games are similar, because of a village, a castle and a merchant being present. Now in my opinion, new RE Games are simply not terrifying. RE entries 1, 2, 3, 0, CV and the early spin offs had atmosphere and a good story. The new games hardly have any music or that same feeling of dread and eeriness. The game practically has a shopping system in it so you can go all Rambo on everything. So that's not even scary. If you have enough cash at hand, it's a breeze to survive, when all you need to do is find the Duke or the Merchant, and flog them treasures. And nostalgia often hurts this series; I honestly don't know how many times Capcom has revisited Raccoon City and the year 1998. Even that upcoming movie is going back to that year, as if Capcom does not have the balls to move to another era. Like, come on. Move things ahead, and stop doing remakes that suck, because you leave out enemies like the spiders and the crows, half bake it, and rush them out. And I cannot say a RE4 remake even interests me, because that game wrecked the survival horror genre to a degree, and if they remake it, people will soon notice all the missing stuff, because I know Capcom will change up the whole game, potentially ruining it. But I'm not really a guy who can proclaim to loving RE4, but it's still an impressive enough game. It's just nothing like the older ones. But Candy Stick has failed to persuade people otherwise... Now for the RE2 and 3 remakes, the story should have been identical to the older games, and the 2002 remake was way more faithful. Why leave out Barry, for example? Wasn't he supposed to save Jill and Carlos!? 😞 Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a noted rip off of The Last of Us, because of the first Bloater fight. You even leave via a window after it ends. Except that huge hulking thing is called a Vulcanblubber, that launches fire rather than fungal spores. But it's just the same boss battle, really. And they also copied the father-daughter theme, and there's a winter section where you shoot rabbits. So um, yeah. Nobody can deny that Capcom did not copy Naughty Dog's ideas. That's just stupid, and suggests they lack any originality anymore. However, this kind of rant normally falls on deaf eyes on places like GameFAQs, and they'll come at people all guns blazing if you say s*** about games they appreciate. My mouse is wonky.
  3. I prefer games with storylines. This is what survival horror delivers so well. Even if gamers say gameplay matters way more, I think I have to maintain interest through the plot, as well as enjoy what I am playing.
  4. Konami, get your act together. I miss visiting Silent Hill. 😄
  5. Ah. I just needed a reason to tune into it. 😄 To be honest, I found the event pretty boring. But at least there's Tokyo Game Show that is going to be happening right at the end of September. Likely, it will run into the first week of October. Or maybe there will be upcoming State of Play events that will reveal something big, like this game. Even if it is just an indie game, fans are still keen to learn more. Anyway, I just need a good enough reason to get myself a PS5.
  6. Well, Gamescom ends tonight. Maybe we aren't going to see anything about this game until at a later date.
  7. I believe Doug Bradley hates the ones he is not in. I don't blame him.
  8. I think at first, it is a trailer, but then the opening level may be playable. I believe they have a site that covers their plan. https://www.blueboxgamestudios.com/
  9. "Hellseeker" and "Inferno" are the only two decent direct to DVD "Hellraiser" movies. Remind me of "Jacob's Ladder" where it is all like a nightmare the character does not understand, at first.
  10. Well, you guys... Hasan revealed in an interview that he and his staff are upset over the accusations of them being scammers, or a front for Hideo Kojima's next big secret project, and whatnot. Ah, well. Maybe it will still sell many copies because of the controversy alone. 😄
  11. LOL. Guess who is streaming about this, again. 😄
  12. In that case, they are telling lies. Basically, what us Scots refer to as mince pies. Remember what happened to the puppet that wanted to be a little boy? 😄
  13. Hasan Kahraman was being very vague here, when he responded to this person's question. I wonder if he knows something. If he did, he probably wouldn't want to reveal anything until a big event is scheduled, or something. Although it's just strange how he seemingly doesn't know what the game is supposed to be yet, when he is in charge of what is happening. Or at least I think he is. 😇
  14. To be fair, nobody has really seen much of the game at all. Although they even said a while ago that they're not involved with Konami or Kojima.
  15. But they had nothing to show off, so it felt like a waste of time.
  16. So after waiting hours for Blue Box Game Studios to update the app after that technical problem, all we got was that tease they already posted on Twitter. It's basically a guy with jeans and a green jacket, walking across a floor for a few seconds. You cannot see his face. Big deal, right?
  17. I am disappointed, as is about 73469238 other people. Unfortunately, I doubt it's a revival of the long dead Silent Hill series.
  18. I already have a physical Wii-U copy of the game, as I bought this overpriced collector's box set years ago. But I never invested in a Wii-U. This means that, no. I never played it. While I'm here, stay tuned about Abandoned. Blue Box Studios should have more about it today. Did you know this is technically set in the same universe as Dead or Alive?
  19. The second game was out in 2017, and so far, there has been no news about a third game. I really like the franchise. But I don't understand the whole STEM thing in it, really.
  20. Interesting. 🤔 https://gamingbolt.com/it-looks-like-bloober-team-is-working-on-three-unannounced-games
  21. So, Bloober Team worked on [i]Layers of Fear[/i] and [i]The Medium[/i]. However, the latter game has no combat. They would have to add in combat, or I reckon sales for the game will tank. No [i]Silent Hill[/i] title besides [i]Play Novel[/i] and [i]Shattered Memories[/i] never had the misfortune of not including any weapons. EDIT: I have a wonky mouse connected to an Android TV box, so I cannot be arsed fixing this post. 😞
  22. I use an Android TV box sometimes, and I don't know how to copy and paste on it. Well, text is fine. Not links. It's supposed to be Ctrl, then C and V.
  23. The link shows up as text, instead of being an actual link.
  24. I just hope they do a great job of it. I wouldn't want Konami to think, "Well, fans haven't had a new game in years, so here you go!" I'm not saying it has to be quite triple A quality, but it may as well be, giving the patience we have displayed since Silent Hills was cancelled. It's a well loved franchise, after all. 😂 With Capcom taken Resident Evil in a more action heavy and all out bizarre direction, it would be nice to get back to basics. @Shagger, sometimes links don't work for me for some reason, so that's why I didn't add one. Normally I do on any other forums I use. 😎
