They are as straightforward as it gets, there is no Kingdom Hearts/MGS-esque convolution, they couldn't be better suited for film adaptations.Yet in 27 years we have had over a dozen inaccurate movie and TV adaptations
Legacy studios hate that video games beat yhem in money and entertainment. They dont want any creative direction from them so they buy the rights and do whatever they want.
Reminder that this happened
>>223008707writers have this delusional midwit mindset and think they can "do better" than the simple yet extremely effective plots the RE games haveZach Cregger even said "nah not going to put Mister X/Nemesis because it's not realistic, how did he get a big trench coat?" absolute midwit
>>223008707Why do nerds care so much that movies adaptations are not accurate to their virtual-toys? Just stick to your games and dont watch the movie if you cant stand some creative differences.
>>223008886Its taking the name brand and changing the formula!Same way they made the dark tower and changed the plot because the producer only wanted one film.
>>223008886If it's just a toy, why are faggots on hollywood spending billions of dollars making an adaptation of it?
>>223008916The Barbie movie made $1.5 Billion on the BO, making movies about stupid toys, like Resident Evil, attracts tons of children
>>223008864> it's not realistic, how did he get a big trench coat?"He's right. This is the kind of thing terminally online folks/content creators harp about in every kind of movie. They literally pick it apart and dock points due to their fictitious story having fantastical elements.He's just asking the stupid questions his audience will have and using it as a guide of what not to do.
>>223009088no its fucking stupid why is it unrealistic that they put him in a trench coat after creating him?
>>223009088Its literally cloth, nigger
>>223008707you can make your own ai slop adaptationshttps://youtu.be/9A80iVXaozA
Why are RE fans just obsessed with fanservice and key jingling? They're tearing the new movie apart before they've even seen it for daring to be its own thing and try something different after over 20 years of the movies just being bad cameoslop.
>>223009116>>223009161He's a 7ft tall humanoid bult like a tank with grey skin who breaks through walls and follows a target relentlessly. Since he stands out like a sore thumb he's physically not made for covert ops so what use would putting him in clothing do?
>>223008995And the barbie movie was much better than any of the resident evil movies so far.It was also more faithful to the property btw.Not sure what your point is besides agreeing with me without realizing.
>>223009438He looks more marketable in a trench coat. Because he's a weapon they intend to sell. It's not rocket science.
>>223009438Psychologically warfare. The uncanny nature of a leather trench coat gives him the a human quality when he clearly isnt.
>>223009438A wealthy pharmaceutical company that wastes millions of dollars on crazy schemes creating zombies and shit can spend a few bucks making an oversized trenchcoat for their inhuman assassin, you retarded autistic spaz.
>>223009428If they wanted the movie to "be its own thing" then it shouldn't be called Resident Evil. If they want the money boost from using a known property with a built in fanbase then they should respect that property.
If Cregger's RE is bad I would be very, very surprised. And disappointed.
>>223009537>>223009562>>223009685You used three post and repeated yourself for speculation and headcanon nonsense because you're the real retarded autistic spaz.
>>223008799>>223008707>Did a full 180, crazy>Thinking 'bout the way I was
>>223009780Different people and all good points.
Would the puzzles be adapted?
>>223009801unironically love this sceneshe can move and makes the song 100x betteri didn't hear the original until months after and was shocked at how lifeless it was compared to this
>>223009161>>223009438According to the retarded lore of the games, the coat is a "mutation limiter" that keeps him from going berserk and transforming into a monster with claw hands. Don't ask how that's supposed to work.
Why do they make resident evil over and over again? Pick a different game
Have any of these shitty movies or tv shows used Moonlight Sonata in them? It's royalty free.
>>223009855Its very difficult, same way the puzzles in tomb raider have to be streamlined. I spent days in each level trying to find the next piece of the puzzle in resident evil 1/2 and tomb raider 2.
>>223009801/tv/ doesn't recognize kino when it's handed to them on a silver platter
>>223009905They tried with borderlands, assassin's creed and sonic.
>>223009970Sonic was a hit
>>223009988So they succeeded with a video game property.
>>223009780"pretending" to be retarded isn't the clever comeback you think it is
>>223009801I want to give all of the recent resident evil a chance but what is even the context of this?
>>223009834Terrible points that come across as cope and conjecture.>>223009895Unless you have a scene or shit expository dialogue to convey this to an audience they'll ask the stupid fucking questions. It's literally the kinda thing you'd see in a cinemasins video.Mr. X's visual design is a byproduct of "Rule of Cool". Why the fuck else would they put him in a fedora? Creggers was right. Unless your going full camp like the source material, that kinda shit won't slide in a grounded modern film. Not with today's movie goers and their influencers.
>>223010018Oh fuck off already. You played your hand and showed the board you're an autistic spaz. Thanks for coming out.
>>223010066>but what is even the context of this?DEI writers room.
>>223008770This. These were the test cases for much of what we see nowadays. These diversity hires don't want to make a star wars movie, they want to hijack the IP to trick a bunch of star wars fans to pay money to go watch their personal struggle sesh story.
Chris? Stop it
>>223009088Literally never once did I ask that question about Nemesis. People who nitpick movies with stupid shit like that deserve to be put on their knees in front of the theater and shot point blank in the back of the head like the retarded commies they are.
>>223010068>Creggers was right. Unless your going full camp like the source material, that kinda shit won't slide in a grounded modern film. Not with today's movie goers and their influencers.How grounded is a bald falso filled with rats in a sewer?>223010091>more retarded buzzword, zero argument
>>223010068>Unless you have a scene or shit expository dialogue to convey this to an audience they'll ask the stupid fucking questions.That's also why the first game wouldn't hold up as a movie. We were laughing at the stupid shit in it as kids who thought we were genre savvy because we watched Scream one time. I can't even imagine what current day autists would do to it.
>>223010068Its cool and plenty of movies do it still. The fast and the furious exist solely on this.
>>223008864>Zach Cregger even said "nah not going to put Mister X/Nemesis because it's not realistic, how did he get a big trench coat?"So the fag is so useless he can't sell a dump concept as KINO? If chad directors would have had this weak mentality we would never have had cool shit like Robocop nor Predator
>>223010176>How grounded is a bald falso filled with rats in a sewer?What do you think his movie is about?
>>223010173Unfortunately, they are quickly becoming the majority. They watch, nitpick then project their nitpicks via social media. I'm not so sure they even enjoy movies. Just the attention and ad revenue.>>223010176>How grounded is a bald falso filled with rats in a sewer?I'm assuming this is from the script? It's a creature film so people are expecting creatures. It's not the kinda thing that warrants much explanation.>>223010177This is why everything getting made by modern Hollywood is either grim dark/grounded or satirical/ironic. They're trying to evolve with an ever changing audience who aren't nearly as bright as they think they are.>>223010192I wouldn't say plenty of movies, but yeah. It is cool. Notice how those movies tend to get mocked and become punching bags for critics and reviewers as well.
>>223010476>I'm assuming this is from the script? It's a creature film so people are expecting creatures. It's not the kinda thing that warrants much explanation.But a creature wearing trenchcoat is a deal breaker?
They need to get these guys to adapt resident evil 5
>>223010548Are we really pretending like a creature wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora isn't just a tad bit odd in a grounded horror film?
>>223010548A mutation virus causing a fat guy to fall into a sewer with rats doesn't need a backstory.
>>223010566yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmSxy2JKTPw
>>223011117Hated that film. A perfect Jill Valentine wasted on that bullshit.
>>223010581He is a terminator like entity trying to blend in an urban environment. Its supposed to be jarring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMLCbpM1fRQWhere do they get the coats though?
>>223009780>speculationThat is literally said in the games you retard, they specifically mention the reason he wears a trenchcoat in the files you find playing the game
They already made a RE1 movie starring Alice Cooper.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaudNInMoDE
>>223011256I didn't say jarring I said odd. Like odd enough for people to ask the stupid questions.In terminator, we see arnold get his wardrobe from a couple punks. In this grounded Resident Evil film will we see Mr.X break into a big and tall store? Try on hats?>>223011311And do they reason away the fedora? You're a fucking idiot and I'm done trying to explain why this obviously wouldn't translate to film to a pea-brain like you.
>>223011491>and I'm done trying to explainNo you're not.
>>223010066she's being mind-controlled or something singing a Dua Lipa song to the DEI protagonistWesker is black.
making Wesker black in that doomed Netflix show was like a joke Elon Musk would make
>>223008886fuck you cregger aint watching your slop
>>223010581>>223011491Why you're so obsessed with the hat? Are you a secondary who doesn't know the original one doesn't wear a fedora?Also I don't remember people complaining about Nemesis outit in the second movie, aren't you sure these complains aren't forced shit from the retarded new director and his sheeps?
>>223011585Lance from the wire?
>>223008864>>223009088>how did he get a big trench coatFrom the same guys that made and deployed him into Racoon City, what kind of retarded question is that? He's not a wild monster, he's a controlled weapon. And this nigger seriously has the gall to call himself a longtime fan.
>>223008864probably because you insufferable faggots would lambast it even if it was a 1-for-1 remake of RE2 because you already have expectations in your head that the game is "soooO0Ooo goO0dd" & cannot be adapted and would write it of as "cheesy" or "fanservice" like what happened with Silent Hill's movie adaption, or lambast it for being a shitty interpretation like the Milla Jovovich RE movieswhat else are directors supposed to do other than try & write a new story in-universe, and yes, that is possible without inserting the words "kennedy" "wesker" "nemesis" "licker" etc. into it
>>223011873If you don't understand the significance of the hat both tactically and strategically then there's no point.
>>223011967Same tailor that fitted wesker.
>>223011967>From the same guys that made and deployed him into Racoon CityNot in the movie, how does a first time viewer know?
>>223011979Yum!
>>223011975>in-universeExplain to me how is this "in-universe", mMr. Bootlicker
Accurate adaptations of vidya are cringe.
Fuck grounded.
>>223012223Nice, almost as hot as the psylocke figure.
>>223011873I can draw attention to his pants and shoes and it would be equally as silly and peculiar. The hat just overtly proves it was a stylistic choice, not a practical one. And in a grounded film this would stand out to modern viewers who would fixate on the monster wearing a trenchcoat.You guys are all letting your bias blind you from the truth.And the PWS films were the furthest thing from a grounded RE film. That's why no one complained about Nemisis. They were too busy watching super alice ride through a window on a motorcycle shooting midair you get the point.>>223012003They don't seem to realize why what worked in a game doesn't work in film.They fail at understanding adaptation.
>>223012189Post accurate vidya adaptations
>>223011325This is the problem with adapting stuff like Resident Evil where so much of it is ripped off from other movies/shows/etc. It's fine for a game, but it's retarded to try to turn that back into an inferior copy of the bits and pieces it was made from.
>>223012294Final Fantasy the Spirits Within.
>>223012294
>>223012294Postal
>>223012357Will watch for my sexy, Brazilian princess.
>>223012294How was the wing commander movie?
>>223012257So in your mind an adaptation should be a movie that has nothing to do with the franchise other than the name because the director is so incompetent to sell the silly stuff to casual fags? I guess you love the movie without watching it
>>223012358Postal deserves a critical reexamination. It's legitimately a great and well-made comedy.
>>223012322>>223012357Post the game in what is was based on
>>223012433Final Fantasy.
>>223009970The Assassin’s Creed movie low key deserves a reappraisal.
I want to give her a hug after Driv3r.
>>223012433I was pretending to be retarded, so no
>>223012454This game looks like the coolest shit ever! Its basically resident evil with Akira mixed in.
>>223008707I am not a ADHD gender dysphoria autistic manchildren gamer so this plot sounds incredible dull to me.
>>223012357great cast sabotaged by an absolutely awful script

>>223008707>I don't get it, what is it about the plots of these games that makes them impossible to adapt? You don't understand anon, we've lost the technology
>>223008707>what is it about the plots of these games that makes them impossible to adapt?They're fucking dumb as hell and only work because you get to play them
>>223012309This. A RE adaptation can't be grounded without reworking the dna entirely.If you don't you end up like the modern Evil Dead. You take away the comedy and Bruce Cambell and it just becomes generic, paint by numbers cabin in the woods shit.It could only work if it were sincere and leaned into the camp and fantastical, like the new Street Fighter. But Anons are shitting on that too because the fact is, they don't know what they like or want until they see it.>>223012404No. I simply don't condemn it without seeing it first. In my mind an adaption requires change in order to work within a new medium. It literally exist in the word meaning for adaptation "to adapt".I'll never understand why you'd all want to see the same shit with a new skin. It's weird. I mean unless you hate gaming as a storytelling medium, why would you want to see the same story unfold, but this time instead of being in control of the action or character you're essentially watching an actors rendition of a youtube playthrough.>>223012721Oh brother. Once again, the 7ft tall giant grey tank man isn't effectively blending into a grounded RE movie. So drop it.
>>223013062>grounded RE movieNo one asked for this. All the games are terminator tier fantasy.
>>223013209>No one asked for this.I did. Once. It was late at night and I didn't think anyone heard me.
>>223013209No one asked for it, yet millions will go see it. Fans and non-fans alike. And because it was adapted for screen by a filmmaker with a proven track record it will likely be a success both critically and commercially.You seethe, but in the world we live in and with the state of the entertainment industry... this is the furthest thing from a worst case scenario.
>>223013460>>grounded RE movie>No one asked for this.>yet millions will go see it.The older RE movies were campy as fuck and still got millions to see dudewhat are you even arguing about at this point?
>>223013062>It could only work if it were sincere and leaned into the camp and fantastical, like the new Street Fighter.The trailers for that movie do remind me very much of Anderson's RE films in style and tone. It feels straight out of the 2000s in terms of target audience (young men and teenage boys) too which is exactly the right choice. It all very much feels like a video game adaptation.Cregger's movie seems aimed at a much older, film snobby crowd and it doesn't feel like a video game adaptation at all. It reminds me of Tony Gilroy's Andor where you get the feeling it could be any rando scifi rather than Star Wars.
>>223013701>It feels straight out of the 2000s in terms of target audience (retards)
>>223013666I'm not arguing, just proving a point. Point being people don't know what they want until you show it to em. Nobody has to ask for it. It will find an audience. And it will do gangbusters regardless of the butthurt few that seek refuge in bitching about it.
>>223008707No Jill/Claire/Ashley booba no watchy.
>>223013741Ok, god to know you abandoned your early argument and realized you were wrong, so you are just doing the spiteful "it will still be successful regardless of how shit it is!" thing.The next step of the cope is trying to make it political somehow. Hopefully you won't fall that low.
>>223013724I'm well aware the target audience i mentioned is taboo these days and a lot of people spent a lot of effort to make and hopefully keep it that way
beady eyed, inbred looking faggot. barbarian fucking sucked
Hollywood is full of retards with big ass egos.Just watch the CG animated films because they're obviously superior.
It sounds like you want Resident Evil movies with the characters from the games in lead roles. But they don't own those characters. This is not Mortal Kombat. There's no incentive to make an RE movie about Jill when you can make an RE movie about Alice and maybe Jill plays a supporting role in the sequel. This will never change.
>>223013701I think these are all good points and don't see a negative in any of it.>>223013778No. I won that argument and am moving on to the bragging stage that states how you not only lost the battle but will lose the war as well. Because you're a loser.
>>223009438Keeps him dry. You just spent millions making this weapon, do you want it to get wet?
>>223012257>And the PWS films were the furthest thing from a grounded RE film. That's why no one complained about Nemisis. They were too busy watching super alice ride through a window on a motorcycle shooting midair you get the point.What's interesting is that people like RLM hated those movies because those movies included a lot of goofy stuff and didn't couch it in irony.
>>223014006Kek
>>223013999He sounds like an asshurt faggot with shit taste that will eternally seethe Creggers didn't make a remake of muh campy and le fun schlocky b movie camp Paul Anderson turds.
>>223014065Cregger's movie is a comedy. It's not camp in the sense that the games are. It's a "Wow, what the fuck just happened, that shit was crazy" meta self aware black comedy sorta like the Netflix version.
>>223008864Trench coat? Is that the new word to marginalise minorities. The hatred makes me sick
>>223014125>sorta like the Netflix versionI find that impossible to believe. I've only seen Weapons, and while I didn't love it, the writing wasn't sub 80IQ Netflix shittery.
Why is there no resident evil game from the Umbrella Corp perspective? Like a Hitman kind of thing where you control of their monsters on a mission for a client, changing things up as needed.
>>223008864>Zach Cregger even said "nah not going to put Mister X/Nemesis because it's not realistic, how did he get a big trench coat?" absolute midwitkek what the fuck? The trench coat literally exists to keep Tyrants from mutating out of control. They're controllable bioweapons being sold on the open market and to the US government not random fucking zombies. This retard didn't even read the plot of the games.Why are they so fucking stupid? Resident Evil has more in common with Blade Runner than Romero zombie films.
>>223014179>Why is there no resident evil game from the Umbrella Corp perspective?There were a couple spin-offs, namely RESISTANCE, Umbrella Corps, and Operation Raccoon City. They're of middling quality though so not a lot of people played them.
>>223008707Resident evil is a very anti pharma story. And Hollywood jews would never attack their own kind.
>>223014011As much as I enjoy those guys they are cynical as fuck and like most modern critics and filmmakers they loathe sincerity in their storytelling.>>223014065Now that you mention it, yeah. Lol, I guess he does.
>>223009116why wear lot clothes when few clothes do trick
>>223014187How does a trenchcoat keep them from mutating?
>>223014300Fear of ruining the garment.
>>223014300The same way binding breasts and feet keep them from growing. It's wrapped extremely tightly around their body to keep their organs from moving out of human shape. Once the coats are damaged they start growing and mutating very rapidly.
>>223009438Does he even follow a specific target, he attacks Leon and Claire, who the fuck specified Leon Scott Kennedy day 1 beat cop as the target. It just kills everyone it sees.
>>223012223>Character is named "Ada Wong">Specifically mentioned to be Chinese by supplemental materials>Always portrayed as a white chick
>>223014383The various Tyrants follow rudimentary instructions. As an example, the one in RE2 was specifically told to kill everyone in the police station. Nemesis is a Tyrant has a parasite control unit implanted that allows it to take more advanced instruction (QED: Kill the STARS unit), utilize problem solving, and use weapons.
>>223014065I absolutely want more movies in the Anderson RE style but I wouldn't want creatives like Cregger anywhere near it. Awful fit
>>223014401The one in Milla jovovich movies was pretty asian.
>>223014276Thanatos experiences similar mutations as another prototype Tyrant, the T-002 it was modeled after; specifically elongated limbs, hypertrophic heart, and asymmetrical growth of claws. IIRC both of them were only active for a handful of hours so they didn't have a lot of time to mutate.
>>223013031>They're fucking dumb as hell and only work because you get to play themI don't think that's fair. The plots of Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are dumb as hell. That doesn't stop them from being good.
Sloppy
>>223008707>Be me, aspiring writer>Write an exciting story about human experiments and having to escape a dangerous city>Studio likes my work and wants to use my story for their next production!>"We're thinking of renaming it from 'The Hollow Outcast Dreams Of Redemption' to 'Resident Evil: The Movie'">What the fuck's a resident evil?>Sure, whatever, you can't expect to have your vision 1:1 in a collaborative industry like film, and I want that paycheck>Get shown all the material associated with Resident Evil that NEEDS to be in the movie or it wont sell>Can we lose the big dude in a trench coat? What the fuck even is that?>"Fine.">Internet is mad>Studio has a plan for Resident Evil: The Movie 2>There's some guy who wrote a script titled 'Catalonia, my beloved' about an insane dictator in a fantasy Spain>"Get that guy on the horn, and see if he'd be willing to accept the job on the condition we change the script's name...">This pattern has repeated since 1970It's time to wake up to the real world
>>223014869You know what the fucked up thing is? You could make a Resident Evil game or movie with exactly zero zombies in it. It's entirely doable and 100% in line with the lore. Zombies are just an industrial accident, not the actual end product the bad guys were going for.
>>223014756>I date a lot of guy, but nothing seriousBodycount ?
>>223008707iirc sony or capcom has some retarded clauses. And also I think murricans or Hollywood at least can't legit think about a zombie outbreak without linking it to a post apocalyptic worldwide scenario. In RE the worst case scenario only occurred in Raccoon city.
>>223010566The world is not ready for such level of kinography
>>223014756Wearing a knife like that is asking for trouble.
Why is there a giant AK 47 on top a house? It is unrealistic.
>>223008707PLAY THE FUCKING GAMES IF YOU WANT THOSE STORIES
>>223015359That's because Capcom are money-grubbing cowards who handwave a c-virus missile hitting a major chinese city in RE6 with "oh, it got solved offscreen".
>>223016372>PLAY THE FUCKING GAMES IF YOU WANT THOSE STORIESTherein lies the problem: Hollywood doesn't seem to understand what Resident Evil is at all, like these Anons said: >>223014249 >>223015359It's entirely possible to tell a Resident Evil story in a completely different way than expected, some of the games themselves have done this, but film makers just can't divorce themselves from the cookie cutter zombie virus plot. Raccoon City and the zombies were a catastrophic event like Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. They're victims of bioterrorism to be mitigated or dealt with using extreme measures sure, but not the end of the world. It's the executives and bioweapon developers that are the villains of the story. This completely falls apart in an apocalyptic scenario.In the end it's not some commentary on capitalism or goreslop like Romero films. In fairness it is anti-corporate and heavily critical of Big Pharma, but the corporation is just a vehicle for the true villainy. Some of the bad guys are eugenicists, some of them are ideologues, and even a few of them are just plain greedy assholes; but in the end it's a story about a few good people bringing those villains to justice because of their personal faith in doing what's right. That's what the first two of the older movies did perfectly. Everything after that was a total misconception of what the franchise is about.
>>223008995There is no Barbie story because women don't care about stories and just self insert as the doll.Men like characters and stories.These directors have female brains.
>>223016357What are you on about, mate?
>>223017462>resident evil >characters and stories lol
>>223017476You already know, champ
>>223017453>Hollywood doesn't seem to understand what Resident Evil is at allTo be fair, with 7 and 8, neither does Capcom.
>>223017688Nope, no clue, chief.
>>223017740Even 7 and 8 cling to themes of victims-made-threats, though to be fair they were both heavily personal stories told from the perspective of one man that was trying to protect his wife/family. The irony was that his wife was one of the villains which the sequel totally forgot because the BSAA let her get off scot-free despite the fact she was a mercenary working directly for a bioweapon distributor.
>>223008707you all deserve this for hyping weapons as a good film. i hope he destroys RE as a film IP for ten years!
>>223012357Accurate, how? They terribly smashed the stories of 1 and 2 into one movie and Lisa Trevor is a Blumhouse ghost.
>>223008707>I don't get it, what is it about the plots of these games that makes them impossible to adapt?it needs to be a one continuous shot film
>>223018805based begrudging rancor haver seething anon
Anyone read the full leaked script? Can we get a run down of the RE references in the movie? Cause I read they didnt even get thr RPD name correct!
>>223012752That seems pretty fair. The US spends 25-40 million dollars on a single ballistic missile. The missile interceptors Israel uses cost 4 million each, and multiple are launched to stop a single missile from Iran, who was launching dozens per day. And the fancy interceptor missiles can cost up to 15 million per missile. Compared to that, a Tyrant costing 120 million is nothing. And you forget that in the Resident Evil universe, most of the world is fighting each other with bioweapons and viruses. There's warlords in South America and Africa that literally use lickers and hunters, or use variants of the T-Virus to wreck havok in cities. A Tyrant can be sent out in an infected city or a warzone filled with bio weapons and will have no issue killing a high value target or completing simple tasks within it. You don't just send it out against a military base or in an open battlefield where it will get droned. Just like how you don't send tanks worth tens of millions of dollars each into a city or areas with dodgy terrain where a random arab with a cheap rpg will destroy them easily by flanking them or a drone will blindside it.
>>223008707>I don't get it, what is it about the plots of these games that makes them impossible to adapt? They are as straightforward as it getsThat's why.The games largely have no real plot or characters. A majority of the cast are one note caricatures, and the story is so paper thin that a movie would have to invent 90-95% of it.I'm not entirely against it, but any adaptation at all would get immediate blowback from the very people it would be trying to appeal to, so it's better to just do something original for the majority who don't give a shit about the plot in the games.
>>223008707RE would work better as a show than a film, simply because RE is kind of meandering and filled with irrelevant storylines that only become relevant later.Something like this, each season is a standard 8~ episodes>RE1Episode 1 is mostly just setup with Alpha and Bravo Teams investigating, ends with Bravo being selected to lead an investigation.Episode 2 has Jill being called back into town from LA and has her end up investigating a desolate Machova Village. Adjacent to that is a light adaptation of Chris' prequel novella.Episode 3 is Bravo's deployment shortly followed (in episode, not universe) by Alpha's.Episodes 4-8 are a straight adaptation of RE1 with some Bravo guys living a bit longer and Chris entering through a window or side door to remain separated from Jill until the end.>Season 2A straight adaptation of RE2. Merge the plot beats of both A/B scenarios, and Episode 1 should have Leon's breakup and Claire leaving college. Will end on the Leon, Sherry, and Claire Epilogue Files.>Side Story Seasons 1&2Side series that adapts smaller stories in the RC outbreak, mainly drawing from Outbreak 1 and 2.RE3 will be a two episode opener of S1, 4th Survivor will be the closer.S2 should end with an allusion to ARK I guess.>Season 3Straight adaptation of CV. >Side Stories Season 3Adaptations of Gun Survivor and Dead Aim.Ends on a reworked adaptation of Gaiden.>Season 4'End of Umbrella' Adaptation. Opens with the destruction of the Russian Facility, followed by all the prior main characters going to take down Spencer, only for Wesker to be there (and for him to 'kill' Jill).>Side Stories Seasons 4&5Revelations adaptation for S4.Operation Javier for S5.>Season 5RE4 adapation.>Side Stories Season 6Merging of Degeneration and Infinite Darkness.>Season 6RE5 adaptation. They could probably soft end it here if it's no longer successful.
>>223022751>Season 7Revelations 2 adaptation.>Season 8Marhawa Desire and an adaptation of the first half of Chris' RE6.>Season 9Damnation and an adaptation of the first half of Leon's RE6.>Season 10Jake's RE6 scenario and the rest of RE6.>Season 11RE7 adaptation.>Season 12RE8 adaptation.>Side Stories Season 7Vendetta and Death Island.>Season 13RE9 adaptation.It would take ages, but RE has the benefit of being a game series where the timeline currently spans 30 years. If they releases a season every two years (obviously excluding side stories), the actors would still be in line with the ages of their characters.But the issue with doing RE is that it would be ridiculously expensive which is likely why nobody wants to do it.
>>223008770>do whatever they want."This is -our- project, it's about our creative vision. It doesn't matter what the fans want."Rian JohnsonThis is the prevailing attitude in Hollywood. See Rings of Power where a bunch of nobody writters with minimal experience are going to "fix" Tolkein's work.
>>223008707>The animated films are fine. If anything, they feel too much like a chunk of videogame. They're also canon.
>>223022771Also, I would consider just straight up rewriting RE to fit a TV show. A lot of connections are there and there is an endpoint, but not one in the games. Were I to rework it it'd probably be>Season 1: "Nightmare of Arklay" & Season 2: "Nightmare of Raccoon"Keep everything as is, though drop ARK.>Side Stories S1An adaptation of RE Zero.>Side Stories S2&3Still Raccoon City stories.>Season 3: "A Folding Umbrella Part 1"CV Adaptation.>Side Stories S4Survivor adaptation.>Season 4: "A Folding Umbrella Part 2"Adaptation of BIO3.5 with Leon, Chris, and Claire as the lead characters.>Season 5: "Umbrella Legacy"Post-S4, this is where Leon gets recruited into the government and the BSAA is formed after the Anti-Umbrella Group is dissolved. Completely original bridge story.>Season 6: "Spencer Rain"Reimagining of Dead Aim with Albert Wesker as a secondary antagonist and more connections between Morpheus and Marcus (as well as more about Africa).>Side Stories S5&6&7Revelations & Operation Javier & Degeneration+Infinite Darkness.>Season 7: "Lost in Nightmares"Since Spencer is dead in this timeline, Chris and Jill instead trail Wesker across the country until they return to the Arklay Mansion, just barely outside the quarantine, where LiN kind of happens.>Season 8: "Nightmare of Kijuju"RE5 adaptation based on the original story draft.And the series can just end here. Just build to this and stop, since going further means locking in for another seven seasons or something.
>>223008707The vast majority of these adaptations aren't actually trying to adapt anything. They start off as zombie script 11, somebody slaps an IP on it because a consulting group said it would sell.
>>223022925They are a shitty anime. All Japanese franchises after PS1 turned into shitty anime.
>>223009428most vidyacucks still have an inferiority complex and think any changes made in an adaptation are a slight against the medium.
>>223008707>I don't get it, what is it about the plots of these games that makes them impossible to adapt?Because there has never been a director or writer who wanted to do it. They all have their own ideas that they want to hook to the Resident Evil IP because they can't get them funded otherwise.
>>223009428>for daring to be its own thingRight, because it's called Resident Evil, not some faggot does his own thing. If some faggot wanted to do his thing, maybe he should go do that. When I buy something, that's what I want, not something else because some queering fag decided to 'do his own thing'. It's also notable that 'do his own thing' near universally means making some derivative slop shit anyways. I can't think of a single time it produced anything worthwhile, it's not like they're diverging from their assignment and turning in kino.
>>223023089Resident Evil is literally anything Capcom makes and calls Resident Evil. It doesn't even have a real identity anymore. There are no zombies, no Umbrella, nothing that made the original games its own thing.
>>223023245This.The series hasn't had a singular identity in decades. What Zach's doing is no different than what they did with Village. Everybody had a cow about it until they played it. Fan boys are fucking retards.
>>223012223Reminds me of Rebecca Ferguson in Mission Impossible. Pic related.
>the 3 min live action intro of the very first res evil is the best adaptation even after 30 yearsDirectors just think that they are above camp. Which they arent, they cant even direct an interesting commercial.
>>223022514Retard
Cregger's script isn't too bad, but it'd be better if it didn't have the stink of some retarded video games attached to it.
>>223009428I hate the fucking strawman of "key jingling" because, the fucking movie is doing it by placing the story in Raccoon City, parallel to the events of 2, has the herb, etc. yet it does nothing with them to explain why they are there in the movie in the first place.Of course fans will wonder what has to do with RE, or why it is specifically RC again. Or how it contradicts the idea of the timeline of events that happened as the game series did.It's such a hypocritical point to just say "Oh fucking hate REfags wanting cameoslop" when the cameoslop they give in the movie is nonsensical and has room for criticism.
>>223023089B-but muh snow!!!
Cregger is a fag hack
>>223025987Don't ask questions just consume, pls
>>223011585>Wesker is blackHis personality and story are also different. Basically his name is the only thing he has in common with the video game chracter. Also in the first episode, Wesker's daughters are worried because the new place they have to live in is full of white people, which is very suspicious to them. They then cause the outbreak by trying to save the animals because they are vegans. I usually try to finish a show's season even if it's crap but I just couldn't this time
Just remaking the games is not that interesting. I would rather play resident evil than watch a movie adaptation of the games.
>>223012357>Indian Leon That’s something somebody here would joke about
>>223017740Better than 6, that's for sure.
>>223027704They'll ignore your post because it makes sense and goes against their flawed argument.
>>223017453>three mile islandonly disaster that ever happened there was a PR one. You can't even name what exactly got released and how is that super bad compared to a shitter like chernobyl
>>223008707Arrogant jews + union faggotry demanding that worthless people get jobs in the writer's room
Vidya niggers are scared because they are getting a good movie. And they wont be able to claim that more faithful=better movie. Simple as that.Want faithfulness? watch God of onions slop.The games are not adaptable because there are 2 main fanbases of the game. Most of the fans conflicting. For some people re-1-2-3-veronica-7 fans, resident evil is a survival horror game, for 4/5/6 fans, the shit tps trilogy, they are over the top quip/punch action games. I mean, they were always corny, even the survival horror ones, but they werent whedonesque in nature.So naturally, one of the fanbases will be always angry. Just as they are every time a new RE game is released and its for one base or the other. In a perfect world, they would separate the franchise into revelations vs main numbered, where one is survival horror, the other is joss whedon quipshit. And the worst thing you can do is try to appeal to both. Sure RE9 sold well, but it wont be well remembered since it tried to be both and failed. RE9 took many plot keys from the anderson saga anyways. I dont see why TPS niggers complain about Anderson movies, since they are practically RE tps games.
>>223008707it's so fucking simple even George Romero got it right and it was a damn COMMERCIAL.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcDjo_uKeF4
>>223030220Fags here will pretend RE fans don't want this and fellate the new movie because they enjoy shit like Weapons
>STARS! In you multitudes, scarce to be counted and filling the darkness with order and light you are the sentinels
>>223030286they even made an 11 minute behind the scenes video treating it like it were a full length moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROk0i6NdgQo
>>223030557Kino!
>>223030181See >>223028715
>>223009438It prevents him from mutating
>>223009428Tearing it apart cause the director is a fraud larper and it looks nothing like RE.
>>223009428This is the same fandom that screams for Leon, a bland wooden character.
>>223012357I'll stand by this film forever and say the RE fans are crybabies. It's a fine film and understands horror better than they can even imagine. >plenty of Stephen King, Carpenter and Romero vibes
>>223031491And I suppose the fedora keeps his bald head from mutating as well? If that's the case, what's to stop his face from mutating? Is it lathered in some umbrella brand sunblock???
>>223008707The new one is from the guy who did weapons and barbarian, so maybe it’ll decent
>>223031559>it looks nothing like RE.So does 7 and Village and they're among the favorites of the series
>>223023500one of the sexiest looks any woman in film history's ever had, hands down
>>223031808This is true but resident evil never had a cohesive theme long before that. The series contains every possible setting and tone that has been in any kind of media in the past 30 years.Do you like an overcast spanish village where something is very wrong, or do you like arranging laser beams in an african ruin? Is the villain a regular crocodile or zombies with guns or people in trenchcoats doing backflips? All of this is equally resident evilI think the series is its most special when it is at its most down to earth. People can like the other part, but there have already been 19 terrible adaptations about the secret agent slo mo people aspect of the franchise
Meh, in Japan they never go for accurate, they go for alternate take on the concept. At least they used to do this 15 years ago, I haven't watched any Jap movie/series for a long time. But every medium used the idea and ran with it in a different direction. So a movie, a tv how, an anime, a book and a manga based on the same thing would have been completely different.You already read the manga, why would you want the same thing a second time in another form?But with the rise of autism, I wouldn't be surprised they changed their way.
>>223032434I agree anon. This board seems to really attract the autist and there's nothing more autistic than lashing out over adaptation.
>>223031626>Stephen KingMy sides!
>>223032817Yeah, yeah, you hate him because your parents liked him, we know. You're such a rebel and an individual. You will never become like your parents. Blah blah blah
>>223032888Not sure about your projection but anyone who truly believe he's Le. Master of horror is delusional most of his books are either retarded or boring
>>223033147Like you even read. Twitter posts don't count.
>>223008707RE1 for sure would be the easiest and cheapest to make … outside of what you want to do with a laboratory but even then the backtracking would make it easy to make a couple bottle episodes across like a 10 episode mini series
>>223033239Do you have any argument or you will keep begging for (You)s?
>>223010068>Mr. X's visual design is a byproduct of "Rule of Cool". Why the fuck else would they put him in a fedora?Ever heard of these guys?
>simple story where rookie cop gets into a police station during an outbreak and he has to survive while discovering a complot and secret lab>basically any Romero movie >for some reason, we've lost the technology to craft such plotlines again
>>223010176I’m a bald fatso who lives in a sewer and I would stick rats in my ass if I could catch them.
>>223033584No. They look fucking stupid though. Like the Pet Shop Boys but without the talent.
>>223031777>And I suppose the fedora keeps his bald head from mutating as well?The fedora wasn't in the original design, it's creative license. On a Tyrant the head is usually the last thing to go, especially since they don't use it offensively the way Zombies and Lickers do.
>>223033626This movie is exactly the same shit except instead of a rookie cop its some delivery driver RE fans will see a slight deviation and then bitch and moan about how its "not Resident Evil" (they've only played the RE2 and RE4 remakes and Requiem and haven't seen a single RE movie ever)
>>223011915Fuck, it sure is him.
>>223008886Then explain why your movie needs to exist at all, Crigger. If you refuse to be anything like your namesake, then what use are you to anyone? Justify your existence.
>>223034226I'll get real with you: If they just made a whole movie out of tacticool USS gunporn I'd watch it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL40VVdTA58

>>223034226Aren't the shills the ones crying about the fedora? Pretty sure you kind are the fake fans like the hack director
The point is, people aren't interested in seeing the same story again, just in a slightly different way. This is quite different from adapting comics or animations, which are worlds entirely distinct from realityResident Evil games are already practically movies, featuring characters portrayed by real actors and based on real life models. It would be simply impossible to surpass the games in the eyes of the fans, therefore, the only interesting approach would be to create an original story within the same universe and expand the loreIf you want to see a Resident Evil movie, just watch a compilation of the cutscenes from one of the gameshttps://youtu.be/8WJ1IGifROo
>>223034388X Files did it first.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpykPZiynD0&t=205s
>>223034150Neat.>>223034464Fucking kek
>>223034555I need more gunporn in science fiction. There's never enough.
>>223008707Vendetta's gun kata is movie kino and it will never be done in live action.
>>223034548I agree, so let's make a movie about a delivery man in the snow running from a fast "zombie" talking on cellphone with his girlfriend then find a fatso at the swever and running again but this time the zombie did the fusion and suddenly die but delivery man become a BOW. HOLY KINO, BEST RE!
>>223034806Don't forget about RCPD ;)
>>223034806Nice description of a movie you didn't watch fag
>>223008707Faggot
>>223034129These "men in black" came to the workplace looking for someone who reported a UFO sighting. All witnesses described them as very big and tall with very pale skin and strange pale blue eyes, identical looking. There's been theories of the m.i.b. being products of interspecies cross breeding or mk ultra experiments with eugenics and mind control. They are the inspiration for the mass produced Tyrant design in RE2. Furthermore the clothing mostly functions as a mutation inhibitor while doubling as barebones camouflage.
Put a typewriter in the background, a green plant in a pot, and bullets in a drawer and its Resident Evil lol
>>223034129>>223036438I'm legitimately surprised there's many people that haven't been exposed to UFO conspiracy theory material on /tv/. It's been in so many videogames, shows, and movies.
>>223034980>this faggot doesn't know about the leaked scriptPathetic
>>223008770FPBP>get billion dollar franchise>pretend it never made a dime and needs to be "fixed">fixes collapse the movie>nobody wants or likes it>repeat
>>223037446Nu/tv/ is full of indians and alphies, they don't know a shit and don't want to learn stuff
>>223008995>making movies about stupid toysbarbie was a kino film though
We already have RE and REmake, why would we need a movie adaptation? Just play the damn games.
>>223008707>you NEED to make a 1:1 recreation of a story thats already been told and isn't very good or i WILL have a meltdown on 4chan and cry about the lore of a 30 year old video game not being respected!!!!what causes this mentality? other than being a 40 year old virgin of course
>>223008707Because the actual events are pants on head retarded.
Everywhere on social media everyone is at >the games are actually stupid, so nobody should adapt them >everyone just wants fanservice and they’re stupid teeheeIt’s exhausting.Nobody thinks the new film will be a bad monster movie, everyone is just confused why it’s called resident evil.Also has anyone else read the script? “VIDEOGAMES BITCH!!”
>>223010066umbrella infected her with the J-virus and turned her into a thriller zombie
The first Paul W.S. Anderson movie was supposed to be some expanded universe type deal, right?
>>223012003you imply it like the games do by showing umbrella's paramilitary dropping pods with tyrants in them on the city
>>223023004ain't the animated movies fault (you) have shit taste
>>223034548>people aren't interested in seeing the same story again>sauce: my hot take straight from my assthey are? every remake of old stuff shows that, both in movies as well as vydia
>>223038241It was never that serious. They moved the timeline a few years. It was just attempting to align broadly with the events of the games.
>>223008707If I wanted to watch a Resident Evil movie, I'd just rewatch Day of the Dead.
>>223008707Don't care, still got a Jill Sandwichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIhl5tEGoDQ
>>223008707Resident Evil is fucking campy as all hell.The director is right for not following the main story and even more so for ignoring the Tyrants.Goofy ass niggers.
