Resident Evil

Also, funny story: on the day that "Village" launched, since I'm too anxious to play any RE game as I keep screwing up and wasting my ammo on enemies in the past, I decided to watch a longplay on the YouTube app on my Roku TV instead. Now I'm not sure how much of the game is still considered "spoiler" even though this is early on, so forgive me if it seems pointless (as I can't take chances since I got scolded for showing the final battle of World of Light on Reddit even after 2 years).

When Ethan is escaping from the insane dad in the village and the girl trying to help him escape ends up killed... Actually before I finish that, I had The Simpsons: Tapped Out on my iPad, and it would alert me if an activity was finished. Anyway, when she dies and he screams "Why does everyone keep dying on me?!", my iPad had Homer Simpson yell "Better them than me!" I swear that was one of my best moments of laughing. Like, you know, better that they die instead of Ethan.

I think we get a new mainline game before anothee remake perhaps in space?

Surprised they haven't tried re-remaking 1 with the shoulder camera perspective.

Didn't they do a Japan-only over-the-shoulder version of Resident Evil 1 and 0?

Code Veronica would benefit greatly from a remake.

So would that one Chronicles game where they made the weird decision to put the extremely important plot point of Chris and Jill finally bringing down Umbrella once and for all, exposing its crimes to light and vanquishing the company forevermore, in a rail-shooter side-game that nobody played.

Hey now they want the Chronicles game to be canon! Same with Operation Javier in Darkside Chronicles. I do find it funny it's one of those few moments were we get to see Clair interact with Ada.

I'm sure they do.

But it would help them accomplish that goal if they put the stuff from said Chronicles game into a mainline entry. There is nothing in the franchise that needs a remake more than Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles, the most important Resident Evil game that no one ever played.

How about a quick 30 dollar port to the new systems?

The Darkside Chronicles don't really need to be remade because...well, Chris and Jill bringing down Umbrella is silly.

RE 4's opening credits work fantastically for a Reality Ensues moment.

Umbrella got a major city destroyed so, of course, they get eradicated overnight by sanctions.

Boring political reality doesn't make for satisfying storytelling. There's a reason Return of the Jedi wasn't about the Empire slowly self-destructing financially through irresponsible spending.

I did like the dose of realism there. "Oh you're a company that does horrible experiments that resulted in a whole city being wiped off the map? Have a million lawsuits to cut off your cash flow."

Like, it was really the cherry on top of everything where Umbrella falls apart because of economics and government sanctions.

I mean it took everyone by surprise but it was part of what made RE 4 great.

I do want a remake/repurpose of Outbreak if only because playing around with multiple survivors that have different "abilities" is great. And no I don't want that thing that came out with RE 3 remake.

That's Umbrella Chronicles. Also, all that raid achieved for Chris and Jill was nothing other than lay the foundation for the BSAA. It's Wesker who really succeeded by stealing the information about Umbrella and gave it to the US government while they were already investigating Umbrella.

I always thought "Actually, Umbrella fell apart because their assets got frozen after they where revealed to be legally responsible for a disaster" to be a hilarious case of Reality Ensues but of course RE 6 muddied those waters for some reason.

Yeah they had to Metal Gear the story in 6. Although it makes you wonder, would Kojima write an incel villain like Simmons in one of his games? Makes you wonder.

Speaking of remakes, i'm getting ready for the stupid discourse regarding a potential 5 remake being "racist" or not. Although prob should change the tribal enemies.

They just had to Metal Gear the story so hard in 6 they even tried to rip off The Patriots. It was frankly embarrassing.

Watching Death Island and man is it hilarious. It still is worth watching for the OG heroes. And Leon and Jill banter is hilarious. Dunno why this site calls it "after Resident Evil 5" when it outright mentions the events of 6.

It repeated the whole "we can reverse as long as it's not infected!" shtick though.

That is pretty hilarious to say the least in my eyes.

I like how everyone usually pretends 6 never happened.

Except whenever the C-virus and Simmons gets brought up into a world-lore discussion from time to time, of course.

Well, if there's any good reason to remake RE 6, this is certainly it.

Umbrella suffering from Reality Ensues is funny

its just they clearly Wasted Wesker in RE 5 for Chris' personal arc instead of being the Grand climax crisis crossover

like I've Said

Simmons is given Wesker's perfect death cause it means absolutely nothing for Simmons

I don't remember, but I do know Japan's law on violent content requires recent games to have the "regular" version toned down, and that there's "higher" versions (which is equal to our versions) which cost more.

News to me. Puts a while new spin on Rated M for Money.
