General Random Thoughts: Biohazard/Resident Evil edition

The 90's Ada figure. Came with a figure of the real Plant 43 that in the original RE2, would spit out poison. But I dislike that lame version in the remake.
I'll watch this video later. I enjoy hearing people's thoughts on the series as long as the views stated are their own, are fair, and objective.
The choices they have per game should be the obvious merry band of praise and scorn, though. I'm sure I can expect them to say RE6 is crap and that the RE3 remake is trash, and they'll most certainly put RE4 on a pedestal along with RE2, along with the first original game and the first RE remake. And well, you get the idea.
But aren't they the games most fans like and hate anyway?
Well... YES!

I knew I was gonna hate RE2 though the minute I seen the Dulvey beer bottle, followed by the soy boy faced, Justin Bieber looking Leon.
Who thought it would be wise to put that Dulvey alcohol in a trailer for a remake of RE2? Seriously. Just talk about an idiotic thing to add in a trailer for a remake of, arguably the best survival horror game ever made.
But it is Capcom, you know. And I get people calling me out if I say RE games lack realism. As if people shouldn't be expecting to notice logical things in a video game. But Leon being able to parry a burring chainsaw is more dumb looking than Chris knocking a boulder into lava.
Not gonna happen! Isn't that right, Leatherface?

Well, we had one New York based movie. 
I kind of wish they had went with Billy Coen, though. I need to know how he survived being in the woods, back in 1998 when Rebecca left him there.

I used to say Outbreak was one of the better spin off games, and while I still generally think it's good, I hate the controls in that game. I lost count of the times I accidentally opened a door as someone else did in front of me, and I got all confused.
There was much to enjoy in terms of the story being set around the time of RE2 and 3, sure. The game just feels so outdated.

Ada seems to be like the new Jill. For new storylines, Jill was gone for years. Now it seems to be Ada, at least out of the primary characters. She last appeared (in terms of the timeline) in RE6.
Yeah, it still bothers me how Jill looks pretty much the same in 2015 as she did in 1998. What the hell? I would have expected to see at least a little bit of a change, if not with her physical looks, then her attire.
So according to Dusk Golem, the remakes of RE0 and CV could be underwhelming.
Right. So obviously they put effort into the RE4 remake, because it's freaking RE4. No fanboy would have been happy if they had let M-Two screw it up. But if he's actually right, where does the loyalty lay with Capcom?

Dusk Golem commented on this recently in a 3 part tweet, here is the quote:So according to Dusk Golem, the remakes of RE0 and CV could be underwhelming.

"I'm a little annoyed of something being spread around as a "rumor" I said, which for the record is something I'd never published as a leak. Let me say straight-up: I have a very strong suspicion the Resident Evil Zero & Code Veronica Remakes in development will turn out to be superior games to their original counterparts, they're high-budget remake reimaginings just like the other recent RE remakes, with years being spent on them, using lessons learned from recent RE game releases for Capcom.
The comment taken horribly out of context of them being "less ambitious" was more about RE4 being a bigger game (both the OG & the remake), which has just always been true. The time of development is less because Zero & Code Veronica are smaller games than RE4."
Thanks for sharing. 
Welcome to the forum, Burton.

I agree RE7 was a good start but didn't nail it in terms of the characters, particularly Ethan Winters. I think part of that was because they made it as a VR title in first person with the idea that you were supposed to feel like you were the main character. You'll notice the RE7 director Koshi Nakanishi didn't have anything to do with RE8, so I think that was Capcom deciding to try and do something more with Ethan Winters while Koshi Nakanishi went on to work on RE9 that won't feature Mr Winters. I have a theory that Chris appears at the end of RE7 to introduce what's coming in RE9, but we'll have to wait and see. I look at RE8 as more of a side story and that RE9 will be a return to something more related to the main series.
