Only recently have they dipped back into more of the survival horror trappings and even then it’s still full of absolutely absurd scenarios and sequences. Other than the weird voice acting which wasn’t intentional the first 3 resident evil games are serious and when the series started getting a little goofy with Veronica and Zero Mikami San right away came back and made Resident Evil Remake which got rid of the goofy dialogue and actually darkened the tone of the game into something even more serious

Even in modern RE you have stuff like a virus literally activated by fear in Rev 2, the chainsaw duel in RE7, Chris being called a boulder punching rear end in a top hat in RE8... No matter how you slice it, RE has never been afraid to throw in some sillier stuff to balance out the serious.

He also made God Hand, which was goofy as hell, and cowrote things with Suda51 who also loves to be goofy as hell. Dude loves himself some goofs combined with action.

I think it's funny that this series has been going so long that the seven year old Rev 2 counts as "modern RE". Like, I agree with you, it feels like modern RE but there's been two mainline games, two remakes and Umbrella Corps since Barry finally got a starring role. I guess Rev 2 is the tail end of the "horror entertainment" era really.

They know what they were doing. RE has always been a homage to horror movies and with that came a combination of serious and silly that it leaned in to. You run from giant Indiana Jones trap balls, fight giant snakes, spiders, and sharks. You encounter not one but two different bioweapons wearing trenchcoats. Finishing bosses off with a cool quip was common even at the start. Part of the fun of RE is how seriously it takes absurd situations. It has *always* been horror movies taken to silly lengths. RE7 is Texas Chainsaw and RE8 has you fighting knockoff Hammer Horror monsters. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Oct 18, 2022 |

I've just downloaded the Resident Evil 4 remaster on PS4 in anticipation for the remake. This game owns so much, I've played it a bazillion times. It's campy because you can suplex ganados and Leon's conversations with Hunnigan are FanFiction.net levels of writing, but it's also scary as hell and can quickly introduce a level of panic whenever the zombies rush you or there's a chainsaw dude. That being said, I would like the remake to have more slow burn horror. An isolated European village where everyone has gone mad should easily be able to rely on it's atmosphere.

Interesting that it sounds like there will be more in this presentation than just RE4 and RE8 Gold. I'm one of those sicko's who still likes the PS1 trilogy and thinks they still have their place and merits, even in a post remake world - especially 2 & 3. I can't think of anything RE related that I want more than Capcom to get those games on Steam or put them in a nice collection together.

The consensus seems to be that RE5 is an enjoyable co-op experience but a flawed solo experience due to partner AI issues. Since I don't have a friend interested in playing RE5 and I don't want to suffer incompetent AI I'll defer to the judgement of the consensus.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I feel the main difference is that the original trilogy was more straight faced in dealing with the silliness, on top of being much more sparse in letting up the tension compared to RE4. Of course RE4 was still miles ahead of the follow ups in that regard, but that is probably a major factor in how people actually feel about the silliness inherent to the franchise. It's a lot more about the presentation than the "objective" silliness of what's going on. The thing is that aside from a couple of quips RE4 is extremely straight faced about the silliness it deals with. Leon isn't going "Well, THAT happened," he's treating the Invasion of the Body Snatchers/The Thing monsters with pretty much the exact same seriousness as he treated the events in RE2. And people forget Leon wasn't like Always Super Serious Man in RE2 too. His response to Birkin showing up was "Now that's what I call ugly!" Luis is more jokey but he's in the exact same mold as Carlos "All the ladies dig my accent". The human villains are giant cartoons but it isn't like Chief Irons, the guy who hunts people for sport and stuffs their bodies, is particularly less goofy, he just had fewer lines. I mean don't get me wrong, RE4 is way goofier than RE1-3 because it is set in a weird fantasy notSpain town with a conveniently close by castle with lava pits and a giant loving statue. But it actually puts a lot of effort into building tension and fear despite the fact that Leon can spinkick enemies in the face. Even where it is more overtly action oriented, like the village attack, it's using the constant overwhelming threat of enemies and gradual introduction of new dangers like the chainsaw guy to build up danger and leave you feeling overwhelmed. I think it's easy to lose track of where RE4 does effective horror because once you know the tricks they don't work as well and a lot of us have replayed RE4 to death, but I honestly would rank the Verdungo stalking sequence or the Regenerator buildup as some of the best horror RE has done.

RE4’s dialogue is so perfectly strange. the characters seldom actually speak to one another, they’re just throwing vaguely related quips back and forth it’s like the castlevania WHAT IS A MAN exchange stretched out to an entire game

I love RE4, but my blasphemous hope is that they leave the stupid giant Napoleon statue bit in the old versions. Even with the campy tone of the game that part was so out of place. Unless it stomps around chasing you like a gundam-sized Mr. X for the last part of the game using their stalker AI once again.

Counterpoint: have the remake be the most serious horror the franchise has ever been, except leave the statue in.

I think that's what it will probably be. They'll test the water with a remaster, and if it sells well enough they'll greenlight an actual new title.
