Did people complain the 98 godzilla advertising didn't push godzilla? Asking because I was like 9. It may have been revealed ahead of time but I just remember ominous stomping Either way it's always going to be hilarious that people saw a teaser and slam fired that opinion. Meanwhile they don't think PT was just going to be an entire game of hallway simulator

Jack's 55th Birthday was one of the biggest ear-to-ear grins I've ever had while gaming Ethan Must Die was cool but not really my genre of choice Nightmare managed to make the admittedly not-so-great enemy variety into a decently fun action game

End of Zoe, Jack's 55th Birthday, 21, Bedroom, and Daughters are so great in entirely different ways. Family horror is my favorite genre and Daughters struck a chord, I just wish it could have had more build up.

Kinda want to replay RE7 for the second time this year, if only I can make myself remember Ethan's magic blocking technique for once.

The foot crashing through the museum was parodied and the Puff Daddy/Taco Bell commercials as well because they showed more of the monster than any trailer lol. And then there's this 3 minutes of solid gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUf9oWK36A

Honestly, anyone who thought that RE7 would not feature combat was a moron and nothing they say should be considered an argument or a valid comparison for anything. Because it's drat Resident Evil game.

i thought RE7 being combat-free was plausible because the of the trailers' aesthetic and because it was released near the peak of the amnesia/outlast run n' hide trend. i just didn't mind it because i hated RE6 so so much that any change in direction was welcome

Because it's drat Resident Evil game. I was completely out of horror games when RE7 was announced so I didn’t see anyone legitimately argue the game would have no combat. The question was always “how much?” Would it be RE1 or RE6 and Capcom dodged the question until they revealed the molded one week before release and they never repeated this mistake again lol.

I think when people pejoratively compare it to Outlast they’re actually thinking of Layers of Fear which has zero interactive danger elements unlike Outlast which is no different from the intro segment when you’re being chased by Jack or the video where you’re chased by Margeurite or the puzzle narrative section where you’re trapped in the Saw puzzle, RE7 undeniably took inspiration from the Amnesia derived horror games but the question from the first demo released after Outlast 2 was “how much” not “is there any?” Capcom’s answer to that question was “more than RE1, less than RE6” which is the press equivalent of Verizon saying their time frame is 8am to 8pm on a workday. al-azad fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Jan 22, 2021 |

Still, it was overall a very stupid conclusion to come to. RE games that feature you running away from persistent enemies were made long before RE7 - RE2 and RE3 come to mind. RE games that involve no combat at all (as Outlast does) have never been made and there was no reason to expect they'd start now.

Considering banned footage, RE7 did Outlast harder than Outlast 2.

# ? Jan 22, 2021 19:51 |

Not sure we should count DLC for the purposes of this, but honestly, doing Outlast better than Outlast 2 is not a high bar to measure up to. (Because Outlast 2 was garbage, you see.)

Even within the base game the moments where you explore other horror tropes in small vignettes are superior to other games that put all their eggs in a single basket (Outlast) or stretch it thin (Alien) and the final sections are kind of lame only because they forget this balance as the game turns into Half-Life for its final hour.

Well, you won't hear me disagreeing! RE7 is overall a very good game that I like a lot. I just find it very silly and funny what kind of game people imagined it might be based on a few short promotional demos.

Hi just wanted to hop in to say nobody cares about this argument except you two and I'd rather we actually talk about RE8 and stuff like "why is Chris kidnapping a baby" or "how the gently caress do any of these vampire ladies work within the context of viruses" than relitigating the loving RE7 demo for t he twentieth goddamn time

Resident Evil has a very logical progression from Viruses to Flesh-Eating Zombies to Magical Opera Leeches to Blood-Drinking Virus Women, if you think about it with enough alcohol in your bloodstream.

Resident Evil will officially be rebooted once it goes Onmyodo mystic magic where M Bison rips a whole into Onimusha timeline and Jill is joined by Dante and Jean Reno. And in better news https://twitter.com/nibellion/status/1352658897178394624?s=21

I've only ever played Revelations 1, the raid mode was a lot of fun but I think it was only the Revelations games that had them and the other RE games had Mercenaries modes instead. What are Mercenaries modes exactly? I know you have a similar setup of picking different characters and fighting enemies but I don't know what the difference is, if any, between the Raid and Mercenaries modes are.
|
# ? Jan 22, 2021 21:32 |

Mercenaries is an arena score attack arcade mode. Raid is more like the traditional linear room based modes that spun off Hunk/Tofu.

I know this isn't exactly a hot take, but Lady Dimitrescu has a FANTASTIC design. I'm also really looking forward to seeing what kind of crazy monster she inevitably turns into during the second round of her boss fight.

Other than the ghost in Fatal Frame 5 I can't think of any other absurdly tall women enemies which is a shame, it's an unusual uncanny aesthetic.

There was a tall lady with a scythe that chopped your balls off if she caught you. But she wasn't so tall as to be like "Whoa that lady's tall" the way the RE8 lady is. EDIT: Also she didn't have giant gazongas which significantly cuts down on the "please step on me horror mommy" factor 1stGear fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Jan 24, 2021 |
