General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

I really wish I had something new to play that's fun and scary like the games I enjoyed during the good old PS1 days. I don't mind revisiting an old game occasionally, but they do feel dated nowadays. But all good things come to an end. It isn't 2000 anymore. :D

Totally gutted about Tango Gameworks getting axed, but the writing was certainly on the wall once Shinji left the company that [he founded].

Yeah. Indeed, I enjoy all the old games, select spin off titles and the animated movies. But 7 and 8 are just boring as hell, and the remakes are bland but a few are tolerable.

4, 5 and 6 are fine as a trilogy of action based games. Unavoidable from a business standpoint, really, when Capcom insisted on making everybody into killing machines being slammed against floors and not getting torn up from the impact one bit. LOL.

There is much to look forward to, as I see State of Play is going down tonight at 11 PM in the UK. But I will be immediately switching over to Konami's showcase if it runs past the hour.

I'm doubtful that RE9 will appear, but it's hard to say what Capcom could show off with all the mixed signals from Dusk Golem and other leakers. People are suggesting that RE0 and CV will be remade. But that's puzzling to me.

I feel like this is a farce, because Capcom will not be stupid enough to throw away the chance to profit from RE5 getting milked or a modern day remake of RE1 being the next big game. Especially with the 30th anniversary coming up in 2026.

Well, I honestly don't think Capcom will remake CV yet, as they'll likely choose to focus on the mega selling titles being remade first, then concentrate on the titles fewer fans have appreciated.

Whatever credibility I thought Dusk Golem had is out the window now lol. He has been all over the place lately.
My prediction is RE9 is about to be revealed at either the Sony State of Play or Summer Game Fest.

CV is the most underrated game in the series. The music in the game is both chilling and relaxing, depending on the room. It would be a thrill if they kept that in, but many new RE games are noticeably missing music.

I think they will probably cut at least one boss: The Gulp Worm, and maybe the Sweepers will be removed. I cannot see other enemies being cut. The bats... maybe.

They could re-use the Hunters from RE3, but if they are going with a new engine, they may redesign them.

Yeah Code Veronica is my favourite of the classic series and it has a great sound track. In my first playthrough of REmake2 and REmake4 I used the original sound track swap which added to the nostalgia and I would do the same if they remake Code Veronica. It's amazing how music is a huge trigger for nostalgia and can transport you back in time

What a disappointment with both State of Play and the Silent Hill transmission. No RE news was on offer, although was one honestly expecting anything? I'm sure tidbits of info about RE9 will happen over the summer, nonetheless.

Turns out the leaked screenshots for State of Play were right, as everything mentioned on X hours before it went live did appear. And the SH2 remake is going to come out on the 8th of October. But it was lame how the games people were arguably most excited to receive updates about (namely Townfall and f) no showed.

Phew. I guess now I can have a break from my usual rants for a while. :p

The 2020s = decade of remakes. 🤓

The 2030s = all new material. 🎮

I hope this comes true someday. So touch wood. 🤚

There's so many characters we want to see return, like Ada, Billy, and Barry.
