Can we talk for a second about the fact that the bathroom in Ethan's house is right above the kitchen. Like, I know that plumbing can prevent issues with that, it's just... I don't like it.

edit: Also, what does this series have against Ethan's left hand!? Dear God!

I feel bad for Ethan's hands, but I guess that's what you get when you need to beat up the main character but they're all you can see.

As far as the inventory goes, I enjoyed the return to inventory tetris but also felt like it was much less meaningful because I rarely felt as limited as in RE4. I guess it's a tough balance, keeping it more limited like in a lot of 7 would've also taken away from the faster action-y feel I think.

Weird coincidence; I just started playing RE8 yesterday. After updating video card drivers, tweaking the weird keybinds because the developers have apparently never seen a keyboard, installing a mod that lets you change the FOV so I don't have to play it in Simulation Sickness/Binoculars Taped To Your Face mode, etc. The usual :pcgaming: dance.

So I might come back later; don't want to spoil anything for myself, obviously.

Isn't "You will give me an egg!" said by Wesker in RE5? (I.e. the best character in that game.)

But yeah, speaking of RE5, seems like that bingo card missed a golden opportunity for "Youse two are just in time for the fire-woiks show! BOOM!". (I.e. said by the worst character in that game.)

You can tell that first aid med is a full heal because it has a plus on it. Just like in RE7.
It is a good thing that lycan didn't eat your ring, so there would be no reason to make a joke about your missing wedding ring.

Help! I started thinking about what would go on a Resident Evil bingo card. I got a bit stuck partway through though - and I can't be bothered looking up TV Tropes pages or whatever on Resident Evil - so here's what I've got so far.

(For the record, I've only played like an hour past where the second video got up to, so this is all just what I expect to happen in an RE game:)


01 - Boss comes back from the dead.
02 - Turn a stone, find an improbable secret underground lab.
03 - Conservation of matter? Never heard of it.
04 - Everything starts exploding dramatically before the countdown timer has finished.
05 - Boss comes back from the dead twice.
06 - Can't tell if I'm doing the right thing in this boss fight because there's no health bar.
07 - Load-bearing boss.
08 - Multiple wacky puzzle-doors just to get from your office to the bathroom.
09 - Boss comes back from the dead three times.
10 - Your right hand comes off?
11 - Wait, your hand goes back on?! :stonk:
12 -
13 - LOOK AT THAT ONE hosed UP EYE
14 -
15 -
16 -
17 - Boss comes back from the dead FOUR TIMES.
18 -
19 -
20 -
21 -
22 -
23 -
24 -
25 - Boss comes back from the dead FIVE TIMES!


If anyone wants to change/add to this and make it a group effort, go nuts.

(It should maybe be said too that I don't know much about bingo.)

I play basically everything with a mouse and keyboard (the first step is recognizing that you have a problem), and this poo poo annoys me so much. There's never any consistency. On some games, the interact key is B! The last three Assassin's Creeds have had entirely different keys for freerunning, and it's real frustrating.

Bingo card-wise:
- Dramatic ACTING
- A very loose grasp of geography
- A gross note

To expand on "really silly keys" I'd specifically add "keys that are in multiple parts."

Other possibilities:
Extreme OSHA violations
Text logs that are clearly only there for the player
Keys in places that make no actual sense

I'm guessing that first timed demo ended around when you get into the house? I don't know because mine literally ended as I touched the porch steps, mainly because I also took forever figuring out that I needed to climb up and over the gate and unlock it :v:

I agree with the house sequence being a traumatic reference to all the Baker house stuff - I noticed some similarities when I played through it, but after just watching RE7 it seems very evident. Good job, RE8.

Antistar01
Oct 20, 2013
It took me ages to find the thing behind the house that you're supposed to climb up onto, too. I don't think the level design there quite draws your eye to it well enough. I spent ages running around the village (wasting a huge chunk of the timed demo), trying to work out what I was missing.

The "village" demo ends shortly after the spot where this video ends; so the whole house sequence was included in the demo. I did still get to see all that in the demo, even after wasting all that time. It just meant that I only had like seven minutes left for the "castle" demo, so I missed most of that. :v:

The demos didn't need to be timed, since they were short and finite chunks of the game anyway. It was just obnoxious, really. Don't know why they did that.


I'm glad you guys commented on Ethan slamming his mangled fist against the wall near the end there (and not even flinching); ouch. It was weird playing through this part after playing the demo, since the demo is like an alternate universe in which he didn't have half his hand bitten off. Slamming his fist against the wall made a bit more sense there.

Captain Hygiene

Oh huh, I figured the rest of the house sequence was longer than they would've let folks play. That's a pretty solid chunk of demo gameplay between the two sequences, I really wish more games did that (even if, yeah, the time limit was weird).

For reference Ethan has both his hands in the demo so that part where he bangs his recently hotdogged fingers on the wall makes a little more sense.

IIRC, I think you don't even need to fire at the wolf dad when he is lunging at you. When I saw he had the exact same weapon as the other lycans, I knew what would happen.

I don't know how many stories there are about Mandrakes, but one I remember is that they are entirely manmade and I'll definitely leave it at that.

IIRC, the things that are being missed/skipped are unimportant to the plot and are just a small side mechanic we haven't dealt with yet.

And I don't think it really prevents showing off anything really if he doesn't get them all.

I really feel sorry for Ethan. I mean, it's only been an hour or two, and he's having almost as bad a time as he did in Louisiana. Which means it's going to get so, SO much worse for him. Our poor, poor faceless hand torture subject.

The time limit? No, it was annoying!

I wanted to try the RE8 demo because RE4 is one of my favourite games - I've bought it three times already (original GameCube version, original crappy PC port, later better PC port), and probably soon a fourth time when I get the VR version - but I thought RE7 was okay, but overrated. So I was hoping it would be more like RE4 and less like RE7.

So far playing the full game (because I'm a fair way ahead of the LP now), I'm finding it to be more like RE7, but with a lot of references to RE4. I am enjoying it more than I did RE7, though.
