Day 1 purchase. Love resident evil 4, and love the remakes of 2 and 3.

BRING IT ON YES

Also, do wonder if they remove all the Ashley pantys

They should give RE4 to Yoko Taro xD

Resident Evil is generally fun and all, but haven't we had enough of RE lately? I'd love me some new and original IP when it comes to survival horror/horror-themed shooters. Why aren't there more of these type of games being made?

seems like RE is the only profitable one. Alone in the Dark died, Silent Hill died, Bethesda-published The Evil Within 2 sold badly.

That's being said, according to rumours there are multiple Silent Hill projects in the works at Konami, there's a new Alone in the Dark game is being developed in one of Embracer's internal studios, and the original creator of Silent Hill (who also made Siren games while working at Sony) is currently making a game called Slitterhead.

They forgot about Code Veronica...

Too problematic for 2022

Damn Ashley looks 30 now.

She really doesn't though, you perv.

I really wouldn't be surprised if this game has RE6 gameplay, and instead of linear levels you have a bunch of different paths once you're pass the opening village similar to Dark Souls. It could even have the same Dark Souls save system that brings enemies back.

I mean, it's definitely not going to have the standard RE4 gameplay because even stuff like the RE2 remake dropped tank controls and let's you move around when you're shooting. If your pushing that action gameplay of RE4 further, the place you're going to land is RE6. Although maybe they keep the RE4 grapple system as opposed to the RE6 one which was just slightly different enough to be able to throw you off if you were expecting the same type of moves from shot locations like four and five had. Even something like a leveling isn't wouldn't been too outside the scope of what the original RE4 did since Leon would just automatically up better moves as you progressed in the game.

These are all good things.

The team behind this game made RE3 Remake which had a counter system similar to RE6 but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe a dodge button?

If nothing else, this will look great. They can reuse good part of RE8's assets which were already p solid, only here they aren't limited by last gen hardware.

 

[Zenithsan]

I predict a bland script with 95% of censorship.
But again, who plays RE for the story? It's all about shooting beaners.

Most overrated Resi Evil babe.

Face scans. It's all they know now. Nothing unique to the medium, ever.

Wondered if Capcom scanned them in the early 2000s before I posted this, but didn't find anything with a search yesterday. Turns out they did. Seems the tech at the time was still rudimentary enough to allow SOME interpretation, for a face that didn't exist in real life.

Photorealism makes it a little more boring, in my opinion.

Dino Crisis. Those dirty fucks at Capcom are just sitting on a perfectly good IP to resurrect. I am sick and tired of waiting for a modern dinosaur game that isn't a goddamn park simulator or online deathmatch.

Ashley's new model confirmed

Too kawaii for the Codex, a place known for it's homosexual tendencies

 

[Tacgnol]

Hopefully it's a return to the early 20th century Carnby rather than all these nu-reboots with weird long haired hipsters.

 

[Viata]

this will look great

Which means nothing since any triple A game looks great when they have all that money to spend on graphics and whatnot.

I hope they cut the entire island section and place the regenerators in other location.

I do hope they give both the castle and island chapters some serious rework. You can practically tell when the team ran out of steam in the game - halfway through the castle the game just start getting stale, which is far more noticeable in RE4 because the village chapters are so tightly designed and well paced.

A few other things I'd like to see in this remake is an overhaul of the weapons and their upgrades, so they're all more viable - especially the shotguns and rifles. Also, tone down some of the camp - not all of it, just some of the more stupid things in the game (like the gigantic statute of the midget), and maybe feature a few chapters where you get to explore a "mansion" location with optional locations, puzzles and rewards - RE4 tends to be far too linear.

I'm interested to see if they'll keep the gameplay of the original or lean more towards REmake 2. Village was more action packed than VII, and a spiritual successor to RE4 of sorts, but REmake 2 is much closer to RE4 in terms of gameplay.

Also, the fuckers better not dumb down the tetris inventory like they did in Village, half the fun of the game was trying to cram in as much loot as possible.

Face scans. It's all they know now. Nothing unique to the medium, ever.

I hate the facial animation shit - games should not be trying to be photo-realistic. Not only do the characters always seem off compared to their handcrafted counterparts, but even with more than a decade of Capcom using the tech they still haven't managed to get out of the uncanny valley.

The best implementation of the tech was during the REmake 1 era - where they could based the character on an IRL model, but still be able to retouch it to suit their needs.

I'm looking at Ashley in the remake and she seems way off. Maybe they're still tweaking her, and she'll look better in the game, but both Mia in VII and Claire in REmake 2 looked really fucking bad - especially Claire that looked almost nothing like her original model.

Also, Capcom, do find better looking women, you were once famous for consistently creating good looking female characters, yet nowadays you can't do better than Instagram thots.

And for those that don't know, the RE4 HD mod is 99% complete, so if you get the itch to replay RE4 do use it, it's astonishing what the two guys behind the mod were able to accomplish.

I liked the castle.

The New Nightmare was actually p good. Great atmosphere and p challenging both in terms of survival/action and of puzzles. Even thematically it was closer to the OG game's Lovecraftian shtick that its direct sequels were.

Don't know if you're actually on the lookout for games by major publishers, but a lot of indies lately have been doing proper survival horror. I'm not sure how many would fit your description, but I know of Nightmare of Decay, Compound Fraction and while looking for that last one, we have Athanasia.

It amazes me that the good people at Infogrames thought that the appeal of the original game was not the Lovecraftian horror, but the pirates with the original sequels. Its just a bizarre thing to make the secondary plot point of your horror series.

We should place bets on Ashley wearing a skirt or pants/shorts. I'm almost expecting the latter.
