General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

I'm curious to know when the RE8 DLC will be coming, as they announced it over 5 months ago. Of course, they took ages to release the RE7 DLC, so this isn't so surprising. 🎮
 
I like Wikipedia, as it has a somewhat neat interface, making it comfortable to read, because the background is white. But in terms of the content overall, they usually condense everything, so it's nothing like the more informative pages you can look up on the official RE wiki at Fandom.
 
Another problem with Wikipedia and perhaps just wikis in general, is that the people running the wiki in question may be incredibly fussy about what content gets added anyway. That could be down to them just being picky. But in general, any content one dumps on a wiki usually has to have citations included, to verify that the info they're contributing, is factual and not some biased person's perspective. That's basically the numbers that show up in the brackets.
 
Earlier this year, I recall posting a thread to GameFAQs under the name of "YouMayDieToday" (which I have since had terminated). And what a bad idea that was to begin with. We both posted in that topic, but many of the respondents were being pretty arrogant. :D

One user replied with a snide comment. I recall it sounded something like this...

"You just want zombies in cities forever!"

Says it all, really.



With their mentality on that site, they act as if people are supposed to just accept that it is Capcom's IP, and that there's no set rules for what the franchise represents, and blah, blah, blah. It's possibly how they feel because they don't like the slower paced early games, and prefer the Dead Space type games of the era. But whatever their reason is, there ain't no pleasing some folk on the Internet. But to act as if fans that have played the games for decades aren't supposed to talk ill of Capcom, is just dumb.

Of course, that's their opinions. But after we posted ours too, they were implying we were just haters for being critical of everything Capcom did to screw up the series. And of course, maybe these are the same people who allegedly told Capcom that RE8 had to have more RE4 style gameplay, as RE7 had them wetting the bed, when we know it's really because RE4 is the golden boy of the series, so Capcom just wanted to rip off their own game (when they don't copy other games by different developers). Or Capcom has a tendency to select read their feedback. :p

5000 fans: We love RE7, as it's true horror again.
100 users: RE8 should be like RE4.

Capcom: We hear ya, 100 users. ;)
 
I think CAPCOM losing the Juracek and Raaphorst lawsuits could very well result in a better bio4. I was never much of a fan of the retail game they've released over a dozen times, besides its portrayal of one of my favorite duos in Separate Ways and Assignment Ada. Wesker always was better as a sort of G-Man character operating mostly behind the scenes, he and Ada deserve much more screentime developing that unique honor among thieves. Having to forfeit the use of assets they stole could force them to make a better game than either bio4 or CV from scratch.

I doubt they would abandon the use of Las Plagas, sorry, I mean their rip off of Parasyte completely. But having to change up the environments could encourage them to actually get creative with other details.
