Resident Evil Village

[The Mummy]

Did anybody here think that this game was kind of daft last year?

I think Capcom was trying to copy RE4. You go to a village in both games, as well as a castle.

Some of the bosses are rather silly too, quite frankly. I also hate the first person mode, as in this case, we don't see Ethan's face in the game. Yet they had characters in similar games, who were fully shown off. So, uh. What's up with that choice of gameplay?

I thought it was a decent-enough RE game... As for the first person perspective, I agree that it lost its appeal, and also, RE7 was the stronger game overall IMO. Back to Village, a 3rd person mode was added via a DLC, though I'm yet to try it myself

I have no idea what RE9 will be about. All I know is that there is speculation of Leon Kennedy being the main hero again, with the story supposedly being set in Singapore. But the franchise has became so quotidian and downright odd.

It was like Capcom just threw female vampires into RE8 because, hell. They had never done stuff like that before, so it probably seemed like a cool idea. Although you can kind of tell Capcom is just making up garbage as they go along now, because fanboys eat whatever's put on their dinner tray.

But anyhow. Forums are kind of dead in 2024. If I get a reply to this post, that's nice. If not, well, one must not expect too much in this day of age.

RE used to be something, sadly they messed it up a long time ago. (they started losing me around RE5) Still, I love the old ones. Read this the other day. I am not convinced.

It really has gotten the Star Wars treatment.

I don't know how many more times Capcom is gonna take the storyline back to Raccoon City. Because as I like to tell people, this is something they should be way past by now.

Yes, they do have new ideas for the plot of future entries, like with the blue Umbrella thing RE7 started up in 2017. But it's not like they're really going to advance it all that quickly.

Google my name thesaunderschild, and you will see that I get a lot of hate over my views. It's something that doesn't bother me any more, because I know these young pups never played the old games.

This is especially true once you see all of these, 'I hate fixed camera angles and tank controls' type remarks. Thus you just know they aren't fans of the classic era.
