General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

Both re7 and revillage feel like they are made as a case study for re2-3-4r. They return to a more re1-4 approach as a way to start from scratch while being case studies for the next games. I would group them together and tie them to ucorps as fragmented pieces from it. I still find it strange that they made reorc take place at a different universe and yet ucorps and re engine take place at capcom's official universe rather than through their own. I wished that reorc actually took place in the same universe as the previous entries, ı dont feel like it would have hurted anything, in terms of story and lore, there's more effort put into reorc than ucorps and re engine, even if the game was rushed. Just like re6, ı cant stand to the hatred bandwagon for reorc either despite still not liking the game that much.

A Canadian citizen named Amanda Doiron was the Script Writer of Operation Raccoon City. Despite mixed REception of the game, Operation Raccoon City did sell big before the ill-fated closure of Slant Six Games.
 
Exactly even before re engine, capcom hired a western writer for reorc and just like those games, it also feels like a way to pull a paul w.s. anderson move. I think that's one of the reasons why the game was set in a different universe but that makes me dislike ucorps and re engine more. It's obvious to me that capcom ran out of story ideas since 2015 and decided to bring back both umbrella and wesker starting with ucorps as a way to start from stratch. And they still recycle assets from reorc only to not do anything about the game. It's as pointless to me as referencing re6 with the entries released after 2015.

Most of the Operation Raccoon City dev team weren't even Japanese citizens but the one exception was veteran Composer Shusaku Uchiyama. Even then, Slant Six Games delivered a "tokusatsu" vibe to REsonate with that game. It's like Operation Raccoon City was actually developed by people who grew up playing the wider BioHazard: RE franchise!🧠🎮:LOL:
 
I used to think a Code Veronica remake/reimagining would be one of the best picks for re engine, if not the best title to redo, but nowadays I wouldn't be so happy with that, I think a RE 0 + RE 1 definitive reimagining would be tons better than a CV one if properly executed with budget and time and if the same team from RE 4 remake takes care of it.

Since they already took so many liberties with the reimagining s of 2 and 3 I figure for a big classic like RE 1 they would still resort to stick with what works in RE engine and since RE 1 really is classic stuff they would be less inclined to turn it into an action fest and rehash and reimagine a few thinks just to increase the horror vibes and make the segments of the game situated at the mansion even more memorable.

CV in my eyes would be too much work to reimagine and perhaps not worth the effort if it end ups selling less than RE 4 remake. But I can see a RE 0 + RE 1 reimagining be much more easily marketed and becoming something similar to Dead Space remake.

Back when they were GameCube exclusive, BioHazard: RE Zero and the 2002 BioHazard 1 REmake undersold for CapCom. CapCom is too busy raking in profits from the HDified, multiplatform Origins Collection. Even if CapCom wants to commercially REmake full circle, they should pay attention to my BioHazard 1 fan REmake that I'm working on free of charge!🧠🎮👨‍💻:LOL:
 
So on the forum for the RE Fandom wiki, users replied there saying they want a CV remake and another remake of RE1.

No sirry. I don't have any faith in projects like that being faithful. With their habit of cutting out content, I couldn't imagine Capcom including every boss, room, item, or whatever we're discussing.

It's deplorable that people want remakes, knowing full well they're going to half-ass the game. Like when Shinji did his remake, he improved on the game, rather than removing things. This game was sensational to people that had already played the original game so many times. But these modern remakes are embarrassing in comparison.
 
Well both the public and critics reception for RE 4 remake prove they did a good enough job with it, and actually did it well enough by adding more of a survival horror flavor to RE 4 and less actiony than the previous RE 3 Remake, I think this is proof they are learning with their past mistakes, and by working their reimaginings with the biggest Classic titles probably is best than the other less popular ones, because they recognize it's a big responsibility to fill those shoes so these reimaginings end up being a very productive and rewarding endeavour from a developer standpoint... Also because they go back to the drawing board and dig at some conceptual work from past eras, the whole experience might provide a treasure trove for adding both gameplay and scenarios into brand new titles that come next.

I REspect your advocacy of labour unions and that brings me to the next point:

If CapCom put me in charge of a BioHazard 1 REmake, I'd add co-op multiplayer as a way to unionize the S.T.A.R.S!🧠👨‍💻🎮⭐:LOL:


Albert Wesker is the most likable character to have a single-player scenario in a BioHazard: RE game. Albert Wesker had a decent piece of the playable pie to himself in The Umbrella Chronicles. As a bipartisan compromise with co-op multiplayer, I'll make Albert Wesker the truly single-player ⭐ in Campaign mode to my BioHazard 1 fan REmake!😎

Very good concepts for Capcom if they ever decide for a reimaging of RE 1, basically expand Wesker adventure from what we already saw in Umbrella Chronicles but with the over the shoulder survival action presented by the modern RE remakes.
 
Man, some people online aren't a full shilling.

On some other forums I go on, the forums are either severely lacking in active users, or the relatively few members present who reply, are acting like idiots.

They say you're "shitposting" if you say anything negative about Capcom.

But meh. Sheep are like that...
 
Back in 2016, Donald Trump marketed his Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket by saying "If you don't like me, you get him". That selling point died out after Jan 6th insurrectionists chanted for execution of his Vice President though.

However, I have a unique voter base who play BioHazard: RE games and I need to do a REverse marketing pitch to successfully sell my Presidential/Vice Presidential ticket in 2036:

"Even if you don't like my Vice Presidential pick, you still get me as your Presidential pick!"🧠🎮🗳️:LOL:

What you need to do is start ignoring people like that. This applies to YouTube, this applies to Twitter. Just go about your business, post, log out, and go about your day. That's how I keep my sanity.

Put it this way: See this guy?

I see that as shitposting politics into a forum where it doesn't belong.

January 6th... was. NOT. an. insurrection. It CHEAPENS the actual word of "Insurrection." Trump, what he wanted to do, is stop all this "summer of love" protests (not even protests, they are riots). He wanted to call for Coast Guard, or similar state military to disperse the riots... But noooo... we have left-wing media (AND politicians) saying otherwise.

Shitposting. To ruin the community.
 
I have serious issues with a guy in Australia, who was on old forums like The Horror Is Alive. The dude is called James Berich or Mitchell, and went by the name Nemesis556 years ago.

Basically, he hates my guts and we are the same age. We are both 37.

This idiot makes countless accounts on this anxiety forum, spamming my address and mocking me. He is also making fun of my mum having an aneurysm. Her health is pretty bad now, and she agreed to a "Do Not Resuscitate" order. She had a heart attack a year ago, kidney failure and a stroke occurred 7 months ago on her way to her dialysis treatment.

The idiot also edits articles on wikis using heaps of nicknames. He does this on purpose to be annoying. I contacted a lawyer recently in Western Australia, but they said they need to know his address. I could get that information from the civil court in Perth. It's not that hard, to be honest.

He is a moron. So, yeah. I know the feeling. You just need to ignore radge pots that try to act tough online. In the real world, they're pussies that don't get any respect or attention. So they think it's okay to fool around online, harassing complete strangers. Because I'm actually in Scotland.
 
1) Pointing out a federal insurrection isn't derailing because if USA citizens don't have a democracy, they don't even have freedom to talk about Resident Evil videogames online

2) Last but not least, the very 1st Resident Evil videogame was about a local government insurrection. While Raccoon City was a fictional city, the point still stands
