Capcom Resident Evil 4 Remake - out now for PC/Playstation/Xbox

[Zombra]

I haven't replayed any remakes other than Resident Evil 1, my PC was too weak to run REMake 2. I told my concern based on what they showed on their "reveal trailer" and in current year every triple AAA game takes itself too serious. "No, no, gaming is not about simple gameplay and enjoyment. It is serious business with Hollywood budget and new generation kids love movies disguised as games!" (- Probably any random AAA publisher)

You seem to have a very fine tuned and specific taste, so I don't know what to tell you. Resident Evil always took itself seriously, which has not changed in the remakes.

I think you are right about Resident Evil series, except RE 4. I feel that game was self aware. But yeah; even with hilarious voice acting & writing, RE 1-3 was "serious".

I couldn't explain myself better at my post. At 90's, early 00's; you could have a "there is a virus, if we can't stop it it gonna fuck in the arse! Here's your guns, go !" kind of story / narrative and it would be more than enough for a game. Since 2010's though it changed. It is like game developers had a mental breakdown because their parents told them "get a real job, games are for kids!", and they decided to make "mature" games. I mean, look at Last of Us, nuGod of War, Horizon etc. . Making a fun game isn't matter anymore. Hell, even making games doesn't matter anymore; they are making movies with bad gameplay and shitty messages. (Sorry for the rant. I think I hit an age that I am constantly angry at something)

Some people call it self aware, I might call it unintentional. RE4 was goofy and ridiculous but it's kind of hard to tell how much of that was intentional and how much of it is just nips being nips.

That being said, I dunno, with the RE4 HD texture pack finished if an authentic remake is what you want you don't really need to look very hard for something that will just be RE4 but without Vaseline smeared on every crevice. I always wanted an RE4 that leaned harder into the horror and suspense than what we got, so I'm cool with them taking some liberties with the game so long as it comes out at roughly the same length and with roughly the same amount of content. I'm tired of remakes that have a third of the game sliced out.

I also can't wait for them to shove 'fuck' in every line of dialogue because Capcom thinks that's what Americans like. "Where'd everybody go, fucking bingo?"

All of these new cinematic games feel like they were made by jews.

No need to apologize, this is a perfectly appropriate place to examine tonal shifts in series trends. I completely agree a lot of new properties come out that try to be more "grown up", which is fine sometimes but is not a great direction for gaming as a whole.

Anyway I'm here to tell you I played the RE2 and RE3 remakes and ...... they absolutely are not trying to be "grown up" in this way. It's the same setting as always, and RE7 and RE8 have the same tone as always too. (RE6 is positively juvenile but I guess that's 10 years ago now. I feel old.) There's no reason at all to think the RE4 remake will go into "look how grown up we are it's a serious art form now" territory.

I see, I may try them when I upgrade my PC (which is difficult in my shithole country nowadays, with %80 inflation rate. 1 Dolar = 18 Lira).

Because they're mostly written by people who watch movies and write scripts but don't play or care about videogames. Remember when God of War was coming out and the actor was 'wowed' because it read like a real movie script and not a game script? That's why. Videogames are the new hollywood.

 

[taxalot]

Speaking of God of War, it's rather telling of something.

Do you remember when in the 80s the gimmick was saving the princess and being a man in one line story action games ?

Now, Death Stranding, Last of Us, God of War, even games like A Plague Tale, etc.... The main theme has now moved to "Be a good dad." . I kind of like it, as someone who tries IRL to be a good dad.

I understand this might be confusing to people who are incels (often vowing admiration to old games, what a wonder) but games now seem to cater to people who have moved up in life.

Maybe moved up a bit too much, because while paternity is definitely a them, divorce totally is since no wives is there to be seen in those games.

 

[Ash]

but games now seem to cater to people who have moved up in life.

Oh boy. That's quite the statement when the gameplay of most games today (particularly those you mention) is mind-numbingly bottom of the barrel dumb, a complete waste of time for anyone with half a brain, designed intentionally so any retard can pick up and play. On some level I can't respect someone that chooses to spend their free time playing them, in the same way I hold some disdain for golfers, or an adult that goes home and plays connect 4 & snakes and ladders every day (the latter two being an extreme example of simple gameplay, but modern games aren't actually far off from that baseline at all, just highly dressed up).

 

[†††]

in the same way I hold some disdain for golfers

Playing Neo Turf Masters is extremely patrician though

 

[Ash]

Golf video games are instantly better than RL golf in that it eliminates all the downtime, that which makes up the majority of the playtime (walking). Then if you add 90s game design goodness on top of that concept, yeah the game you mention is probably fucking awesome. I'm imagining the game is golf minus the walking, but possibly deeper too. But then again I'm not sure as it is described as a "golf simulation game".
Golf in reality is just a trivial distraction rich fucks enjoy while they perform business deals and discuss shady shit. The people super into the game itself are just sad.

I remember and I am perfectly fine with it. I still enjoy Super Mario 3, Super Metroid, Shinobi 3, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe, Contra 3 etc., altough they have simple stories and gameplays. Because their focus was being a fun video game, not being a pretentious movie.

The main theme has now moved to "Be a good dad." . I kind of like it, as someone who tries IRL to be a good dad.

I respect your aim to be a good dad. My old man was an alcaholic bastard that destroyed any kind of family ties. So I hope you'll suceed in your destination.

but games now seem to cater to people who have moved up in life.

I have to hard disagree here. Video games became more and more like movie-like; not because developers have moved up in life, but because of a marketing strategy. For an average Joe, video games were a thing for nerds and kids. But since the early to mid 2000's, video game market started to grow and publishers / share-holders ( not the developers ) wanted more money. It was possible to sell more video games obviously; but since that market still considered as a "niche hobby / market", how could they grow their customer base? They tried to convince people like "hey, we are not making "games", we are making movies! Some serious shit man; it's not like for kids, we are making it for adults!".

Every media has it's their own strenght. A movie clearly needs a good script. But a video game needs only one focus, a fun gameplay.

Resident Evil 1 was serious as far as the script, but the original got whatever native English speakers they could afford who lived in Japan at the time, who were told how to do their lines by people who were not native English speakers.
RE4 definitely had someone making the game intentionally cheesy. The giant robot and lines like "Your right hand comes off?" were definitely taking the piss.

Spending less time creating cringe threads on twitter about how evil the codex is would probably get closer to that theme.

 

[Bigg Boss]

I think it would be funny if they remade RE4 with fixed camera angles just to piss everybody but me off.

 

[Mega Black]

When are we getting the Netflix series tie-in game? Black Wesker in mercenaries I hope.

 

[Mary Sue Leigh]

But the show was canceled and everyone already forgot it existed.

 

[HereticGuy]

Funny thing is; the actor who played Albert Wesker the Black Edition said the people who criticised the show are "haters and trolls who never understood what they were doing". What a fucking jokers.

Only haters and trolls would want to see the characters from the game represented by actors who at least vaguely resemble them, haven't you heard? It's bigoted to want things to look accurate in adaptation.

Probably he's just pissed that the only "major" work he got, in I don't know how fucking years since The Wire, was shitcanned
Poor Lance - good actor, pitiful career

 

[Bigg Boss]

He should get a better agent.

He slid into Fringe right after , with a significant role. I remember that show being fairly popular, but Wikipedia says not quite. He also has John Wick. He needs to cheer up, he's had it better than most of the cast of The Wire.

 

[Bigg Boss]

A show is not popular now unless it is Game of Thrones tier. Kinda like how Tomb Raider can sell millions but be a failure.

Wait a minute, this guy is the Lieutenant from the Wire?! Damn man, I liked that show and his character was fine. What a fall from grace.

 

[Bigg Boss]

Reminding me I need to watch The Wire.
