RE8 Village thoughts roundup

Russident, what happened to your tweet?

I deleted my account.

Is that about lightsaber developed by bsaa?

Yeah.

According to the description, the blade of this weapon is made of charged particles. I think such particles were also mentioned in Gun Survivor 4.

Not to mention that Jackass is a fan of Star Wars, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could have been involved in the development one way or another.

But so far I haven't thought much about whether it's worth taking such a weapon as something serious and canonical. For me, this is rather one of the references to Silent Hill, and the backstory with the BSAA was added so that this bonus does not seem random.

But who knows.
 
I hope the DLC focuses on life after the events of the base game, so we can see Chris and his team investigating the BSAA in Europe. It will probably be gameplay that is quite action oriented, but I don't mind that, because Chris is a pro at what he is doing.

I hope it ties the ending up as well. Not going to be excited for RE9 if it’s going to have the evil BSAA plotline.
 
Whatever they do, they should reveal more about the Connections. Gets rather tedious when Capcom is forever adding in different plot aspects. Ones they often cast up once, then ignore it.
 
So gonna repost this. Did anyone play this mode of revillage? Post some thoughts about how it compares to past titles' mercenaries modes.
I did. To be honest, it felt more like a raid mode than a mercenaries mode. The enemies all spawn in set locations and all have health bars, and there are areas that cant be unlocked until you get a key. While rng factors play heavily into upgrades and decisions enemies make to get to you, it doesnt hurt it. I like the fact you can upgrade weapons in between, and plan for a level thats giving you trouble. While the fact that you dont have to beat a level to get an ss rank is a bit too forgiving, Im not gonna complain. Its personally my favorite mercenaries mode, even if it doesnt really play like one.
 
Many fans believed Mother Miranda was actually Mia. This should have been true, would have made the story actually interesting. Rosemary is a completely pointless character.
 
she is, and what bothers me is her looks, screams tiktok sensation girl, no different from Kylie Jenner and those mediocre celebs.
You are absolutely right, especially given how instantly strong and badass she is implied to be with zero development. I guess I'm supposed to want her to be the Hero now that I've reassembled her fragmented body? So she's a Bionicle basically. Yawn.

If you mean the way Rose grabbed the agent, I think this moment was not so much about how cool she is, but about how scary she actually is, because she is basically Eveline without chromosomal defects, who was trained by Chris Redfield. She is one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, so they could add the part that a sniper or someone is watching her.

In the same way, a similar ambient is playing at this moment, which we hear during meetings with Eveline.

and what bothers me is her looks, screams tiktok sensation girl, no different from Kylie Jenner and those mediocre celebs.

How so? She looks like an ordinary teenager who wears ordinary clothes. I don't get it.
 
Rosemary looks like that bratty girl from The New Mutants.

LOL.

I would like her to be in the DLC, but I assume they will do a prequel story with Alcina Dimitrescu, or just have the game played out from Chris Redfield's side.

You mean Anya Taylor-Joy's character? I can see that.

By the way, she also played the main role in Robert Eggers's The VVitch: A New-England Folktale, which had a pretty strong influence on Village.

or just have the game played out from Chris Redfield's side

I feel like it's pretty likely. Emily could intercept the intelligence about Miranda's plans that Karl sent to the BSAA, after which the episode could start on the outskirts of the factory and end inside. There Chris could meet Karl and pick up the mentioned documents about Miranda's research. I would like to learn more about the game world through them.
 
I would prefer if they just save Chris for RESIDENT EVIL 9 a co-op game between him and Jill and that's it. the DLC can be about Rose Mary so I don't want to deal with the Winters anymore ever ever again.
 
I heard rumours about Ada Wong being in RE8 because people didn't like how she was cut, and I was like, oh my Lord. Just remake RE4 already.

RE8 is like RE4 anyway. Village > Merchant > Castle > Lake > Factory. But just not quite in that order.

I still think Capcom saying "RE8 has more action because RE7 is too scary" or whatever they said, was nonsense, and hilarious too.

what cracks me up is in gamefaqs everybody worshipped Village before coming out, I call it was going to be an action adventure game, and you know what, those zealots that bitch about RE4, 5 and 6 ignored my comments and they were all yadayada.

They made tons of post how the remakes and RE7 was the step in the right direction and how third-person equals action, imagine their clown face defending the direction of Capcom with the final product of Village a rip off of RE4.

I remember people insulting me for saying first person was true to RE because that was how it was planned yeah right... just because they had the idea doesn't mean was gonna be like that. I call the fanbase pure-brain dead sheeple.
