Capcom NEVER took as big a risk reinventing Resident Evil as it did with RE7.And not just because of the camera: it sidelined Leon and Chris, bet on a civilian protagonist, and turned the Baker house into a nightmare.Nine years later, it remains the game that brought terror back to the saga
it's true there was a shift with RE4capcom regularly waste the identity of it's IPs for some reason
I wonder if they will try to switch things up again a bit for 10 since it's a landmark title.I'm guessing probably not since nuRE is doing so extremely well for them.
>>749572779All RE7 did was rip off Kojima's PT demo and capabilize on the new VR fad. Not to downplay that decision but it was rooted in risks made by other people that succeeded.RE4 was a far bigger shift by basically crafting a new type of gameplay for their games that they continue to improve upon and utilize to this day.
>>749573037Doubtful. Theyve hit a sweet spot by using both the FPS and TPS camera styles within the same game. If anything I think 9 was them seeing how well it would work while playing it safe by including Leon again. I think 10 will be more narratively focused on a new arc
>>749572895Every single Resident Evil mainline game has added new mechanics, generally to improve the action.It started with 2 and culminated in 6.
>>749573080>rip off Kojima's PT demoakshually RE7's concept was finalized in January 2014, 7 months before PT came out
>>749573250you're shortsighted if you this this is what it is about
>>749573376Doesnt matter. They saw what Kojima did and how much everyone liked it. Once it got cancelled, they merely filled the void.
>>749572779They went too far with the re-invention bs. Same setting, different characters is fine, but if you bring in Chris, then make him look like Chris, and not Some Blonde Fuck.Village is a more silly RE, but it's more favorable in my book because it did a course-correct on the characters. Yes, only Chris was featured, but if more of the OG cast would've been present then they would've been presented in their established form. There was no need to ever deviate from that.
capcom is creatively bankrupt and cannot do a new game without relying on legacy content
>>749573785iirc RE7 was one of the first games to use the REngine and to aim for facial motion capture. They probably thought it looked better than it did.
I beat RE1-3 OG and RE1-3 Remake, do I move onto 4 or play 0/CV first? I played a bit of 4 and 0 but none of them are really captivating me like the OG trilogy did.
>>749573376i mean you're on a different planet if you don't think the RE demos were playing off of PT. its clear that by release it was in the games DNA. i'm glad for it as well, re7 is probably the best version of a "full length PT" we ever did or ever could get.
7 was boring, 1-3 were about trained people in situations they didn't train for. It balanced action and horror.
>>749575018RE7's version of the engine triggers me because in my very first playthrough I had all kinds of ugly ass stripes on certain textures or shadows in the environment, specially the house which would've been beautiful to see otherwise. I think it was a known bug or whatever, but that really soured the experience
>>749572779Game sucked. Mogged by RE2R.
>>749573394Say again?
Having picked up RE7 during the Steam sale and completing it I can say it was not very fun at all. I felt like I was playing Outlast. The pacing was awful. The Bakers estate was more nonsensical and insane than the Spencer mansion. The Mold is absolutely pants on head retarded even by RE standards. Ethan sucked. And why did everyone hate Aunt Rhody? She was just an old woman.
>>749575139I've never been motivated to play 0 or CV.
>>749575139bump
>>749575602Does the mold have a purpose for umbrella?
>>749572895kek zoomers really are fucking retarded
>>749577504I don't think it came from Umbrella. Mia worked for "The Connections" and they're responsible for Eveline/the mold
>>749572779Interesting they made Samara from The Ring the main BOW.
Capcom needs to get the story back in order. It's all over the place. They really fucked up by dismantling Umbrella so early. They keep introducing new shit that starts further and further from what it work in the first place: Viruses and BOW's. Now, we're doing the whole thing where it's actually some parasite or organism that was buried deep under the Earth. I'm sorry, Back 4 Blood did it better. At least I can buy that more easily than suddenly having multiple different things popping up that all do something similar.
>>749572779Did you have chatGPT write this for you?
Last.
>>749579783Whats "The Tragedy of Ethan Winters"?
>>749579628These guys were so scary to me during the first part of the game. I really dreaded going to the basement every time.Then by the end of the game they just start spamming them and they lose all their scariness.
>>749579772Rope, NEET
>>749579326This is pretty based but too midwestern.
>>749572779RE7 was the game that RAPED the withering corpse of Resident Evil franchise, and attracted THE most insufferable normalfaggots zoom zooms into the series. It's THE most embarrassing clusterfuck I have ever been tricked into playing. A game made for morons who HATE Resident Evil.
Bump
