Revelation is eh and definitely got a lot of positivity for being a more horror based game, but Rev 2 is unironically top tier.

I find it absolutely hilarious that the game tries to do an episode recap. The plot's incredibly easy to follow and they still try and show you a reminder of a cutscene you saw five minutes ago.

I LOVE the monsters in it though. The Oozes look awesome, their erratic movements are eerie and even the way they melt into a pile of gore when defeated is cool.

You are not alone.

It was originally released episodically online.

Rev 2 was, dunno about Rev 1. It's a problem in both, mind.

Rev 2 has some incredibly eerie moments. The Revenants are definitely my fave monsters in that one; although the Glasps lead to some really tense moments too.

A shame the basic zombie-alikes aren't nearly as interesting in that one.

You are not alone.

Wait did Rev 1 have the "Previously On" thing?

My mix of hilarious laughter and annoyed patience says yes.

Like I said, it doesn't even make sense because the plot is basically "Jill and Parker fuck around on a boat trying to make a call for a couple hours"

Although there is at least one really good twist in chapter 6. Or was it chapter 5?

You are not alone.

Revelations 1 was released on handheld, so the structure is episodic by design.

Revelations is the better of the two but Revelations 2 is my favorite of them.

I never played the Raid Mode, is that really better than Mercenary?

I think shaming or calling someone freak or such in general doesn't fly in these day since all of that comes down to in the end is insulting them for being "weird" or "not normal" tongue

Now I want a mod for 2 that replaces Mr. X with Siren Head, complete with sounds.

You'd think Claire would be more tolerant after her brother got kicked out of the Air Force because of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Wait, when was this mentioned?

Now I want a mod for 2 that replaces Mr. X with Siren Head, complete with sounds.

I've been seeing thumbnails for siren head for the past week or so. I take it this is the new Slender Man.

Its common Fanon that Chris is gay and that's why his closest relationships are with men despite the Ship Tease with Jill and Rebecca.

Siren Head is basically Slender Man's overly loud cousin who doesn't shut up. Since Mr. X has the signature stomping sounds, it would be cool to have a mode where the stomps are replaced by siren noises.

Siren Head is multiple years old monster from a blog that somehow recently got popular despite videos and such being out for years.

Also lot of games related to new fad kinda miss the point that its supposed to be monster that plays any signal or radio program to lure you in rather than just the broken signal sound tongue Its one of those monsters that kills you, records your voice, then lures your friends closer with your death screams

That's why I love UndreamedPanic's recent game, because Sirenhead in that one transmits several noises, and even speaks to the player character directly to taunt them. I would love for something similar to appear as a Mr. X mod.

That makes me wonder:

What do you think would be fresh in the next Resident Evil? What can we tackle that hasn't been tackled, and would still fit with the franchise's core themes?

  • Fatal Frame - japanese ghost horror
  • Amnesia/Outlast - you can't fight back horror/gore/fear of hospitals and the criminally insane
  • Resident Evil - survival/gore/low resources kind of horror/fear of corporate corruption
  • Silent Hill - suspenseful/existential horror
  • Evil Within - a little bit of everything but mostly gore-focused horror
  • Alan Wake - fear of the dark/existential
  • Dead Space - existential/alien monsters
  • Until Dawn - mystery/fear of the unknown
  • SOMA - existential/monsters/fear of isolation
  • Bioshock - fear of the ocean/steampunk horror

I want to go back to action genre.

You want to go back to action after Resident Evil 7 shifted back to scaring the pants off of people.

Strange indeed.

Considering that the most popular game is an action game, they will go back to it eventually.

And they're going to remake RE 4, so it's fair to say that going for a cluster of more action orientated games was intentional.

I forget which YTer did a video that pointed out that's the way things look.

I'd point out RE 2 and RE 3 remake were plenty actioney, and even RE 7 transitioned to actiony roughly around the second Mia got her machinegun back.

Also personally, RE 7 didnt scare the pants off me and had some of the cheesiest lines of all time (in a good way). It just went back somewhat to the roots of RE making you work before you have 15 guns loaded with ammo.

RE has always been schlocky action. It just took Capcom some time to realize that.
