General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

I think Capcom rushed out RE2, as it had been a long time coming and they knew fans were becoming impatient. It didn't feel as fine tuned as it could have been.

The combat feels jarring. Yeah, their aim for realism like you say is why that came about. But I also hate the bullet sponge zombies, the very dark rooms, and the omission of certain enemy types. I also don't like how both characters have the same cutscenes, objectives, and so on. For example, Mr. X originally only appeared in the B scenario. In the remake, he felt like a forced upon gimmick. He was everywhere!

Yeah, the trashy remake of 3 was lame, but 2 was a big let down as well. Plus, the original RE2 was the game that got me into survival horror to begin with. So when it went awry with Capcom with this modern take on it, I felt a particular amount of anger towards Crapcom for screwing it up the way they somehow managed to do.

I really want to see the following characters coming back. In no particular order, there is:

Ada.
Hunk.
Parker.
Carlos.
Billy.
Natalia.
Ark.

I would probably like to see Billy again the most, being honest. There was definitely something there with his history. But I reckon he is a goner in Capcom's eyes, since he hasn't been in any other RE media besides the Wii shooter in 2007. But that just rehashes RE0 in a somewhat muddled up way.

With that time jump in Village, I wonder if they really are keeping Chris Redfield's age to be like his current age. Because in the future, Rosemary mentions him to the agent who offends her. So what age would Chris be in that year?

It is hard to determine anything, with how often Capcom keeps switching his actor. Because in RE8, he looks old. His Death Island appearance looks completely different, you see.

They could. Although Claire's storylines and even Jill's are so repetitive.

I mean, one always gets herself imprisoned. The other, well? She is exposed to viruses.

It's all very Avengers-like now, to be honest...

I think Leon and Chris should be used more in action heavy games. I mean, 7 and 8 have Chris in these type of sections. It helps to provide fan service, but without removing most of the tension.

Edit: God, see this fucking keyboard on my phone!

Yeah. That's why I didn't like Shadows of Rose. I wanted the plot to concern why the team was gonna head to Europe. But maybe Capcom decided they wanted to cover this more in a new game instead.

That's the problem, I believe. Their creativity in RE8 was the lowest I had witnessed in quite a number of years. So Capcom is content now to cater to their simps. Because I often wonder about their mindset in general.

If they made a soccer game with Nemesis as the goalkeeper, these idiots would probably even support something as stupid as that. This is how ridiculous certain fanboy types are online.

I know.

4, 5 and 6 are the same kind of game. They all have action, some horror, but nothing too scary. Although by that point, RE's characters were becoming like the Marvel comic book heroes, with beefed up muscles and a lot of firepower. So people saying 5 sucks and acting like 4 is wonderful, is especially odd.

If anything, 5 links more to the past storylines than 4 does. All 4 did was explain how the Las Plagas infected people. But in general, 4 may as well be a spin off because it is hardly correlated with the franchise.
