So RE has the occasional bag egg in the franchise. But in the land of SH, we have this...


Wow, Konami. 😌

On paper, it must have read...

"Ya done bad stuff, so ya gonna get teh monsters coming at da farm!"

Like, seriously. Is that all Silent Hill is now? You screw up, you sin, and you just get creatures finding your whereabouts. 🙄

I don't think Capcom would lease out their franchise if they knew somebody would create something that cringey. But of course, we had ORC and Umbrella Corps.

This thread was funny. It's 13 years old, but still. My name at the time was SynchPedro86.

Please port it. - Resident Evil: Revelations

For Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "Please port it." - Page 4.

RE doesn't belong on TVs? EH!? I have always played games on a big or even small TV. 🤣

Of course, it is the GameFAQS forum. Your expectations for an intelligent response has to stay very low. Always.

I'm not keen on the controls being altered in the HD version of the original RE4. I thought the graphics looked swell, though. But I think RE5's controls remain unchanged, which is good, but meh in terms of RE4's best port being too crap to play.

CV in 2000 had some (for the time) cool lighting effects. The lighter you get early on came in useful against the bats in the palace. I hope this could translate with Capcom to their upcoming ReX Engine, rather than making everything look 'washed out' and dark.

I wonder if RE6 having too much action is why they went back to horror with 7. Even so, 6 alone is not the worst offender. I think the game to blame is 4. But even still. Nobody ever has the balls to admit that 4 was the actual game that served as the beginning of the end. Or to be kind of more fair with my words, started a new beginning.

While 4 has action too, it retains some horror elements, but I still believe it's overrated. 5 just threw it all out the window.

7 and 8 are just horror games with links to RE canon, and a main character involved to link it together. But even they have sections with Chris knocking over the Molded and planting a bomb on some root. So they are tediously slow, Ethan walking simulators, until Chris comes. Then it's more of the same concept that 4 started.

I think after 4 came out, there was no going back to the basics, and Capcom knows that. This is why the franchise is a mess these days. It's like they don't know who their real fans are anymore. Just doing what they can to cater to too many gamers, as there's people who only like 4 and over, or just 4 by itself. While others like them all, or just the classic ones.

In my opinion, mainline RE games should be survival horror with action type gameplay reserved for spin offs. Even stuff like the Revelations games I think balances out the two just fine. But trying to experiment a lot I believe backfires on Capcom sometimes.

Another thing they should do is replace Leon and Chris and so on with the next generation of soldiers, police officers, doctors and more, instead of unnaturally keeping them alive to essentially milk the tar out of the franchise because they're popular.
