I guess the idea of creating a Fallout/Stalker like in post apocalyptic Raccoon City would be too cool, so instead we are going to get more first person streamer bait "horror" slop, but now Ethan has tits. Fantastic, thank goodness I'm not interested in the slightest and can completely ignore it. At least RE8 had some interesting ideas and would have been a great RE4 styled game, too bad it only half-assed both the horror and the action segments so it ended up being an incoherent mess.
Also, what happened to Ethan's daughter? Weren't they setting her up to be the next protagonist? Why play as some random intern? So she can be scared of the haunted house monsters in the member berry RE2 land?
I finally have it. The smoking gun against RE1 remake for RE purists and vidya remake ballwashers that isn't just bitching about the unnecessary mechanical changes to make the difficulty artificial and unforgiving or the art style change as good as it looks.
I mean RE2 remake also cut out a bunch of shit but people still generally liked it. Turns out most people don't care about small changes like this and would prefer a smoother core experience(and better graphics). That's why with RE1 and RE2 it's not really that simple, both original and remastered games are completely different and you should experience both of them. RE3 and RE4 is where the games are just straight up inferior to the originals, but at least RE4 remake tried to be faithful(altho it failed). However, the gameplay of RE4R simply isn't as engaging and it doesn't bring enough new features to make playing it worthwhile over the original, especially when you consider it also censors/takes out a lot of content. What RE4R did bring was...stealth, durability for your knife, fucking side quests for the merchant? Oh and you have to pay for the OG music as DLC and you have real life currency for the Mercenary Mode(that wasn't even with the game at launch).
Nah, RE1R and RE2R are fine, RE4R and especially RE3R show just how much worse it could be.
Give me a game with Chris Redfield and Ada Wong doing black ops type shit for whatever company they work for.
It's a shame Operation Raccoon City bombed, there is so much potential for a spec-ops tactical shooter game in this setting. Give me more lore about the setting and less memberberries, make the cameos feel earned. Co-Op would actually make sense here too, instead of shoe-horning it like they did with RE5.
