It's a complete misfire. $80 game for a ten hour playthrough is fucking ridiculous. I still play it to mess with mods but I've mostly gone back to the PS1 games.

"RE has always been short."

Not anymore, when 4R is a 20 hour game the first go around and that's before Separate Ways. While there's plenty to legitimately bitch about in it, that's the one that felt the most egregious. Both 4 OG and 5 were really long too. And 6 felt longer than both of those put together.
man i feel so defeated... and depressed. I want everyone working for capcom to get itchy ass worms

They were very short but 4-6 were very long by those standards. Then 7, 2R and 3R are very short. And 8 was a bit longer.

With pricing going up, we shouldn't be getting less game. But this is the jewish standard operating procedure of media.

7 is short, but all the dlc and replay value made it extremely nice. And I still hold it's the best of the newer games.
 
Jesus fucking christ 9 is such a steaming pile of shit. I'm currently trying to play the raccoon city area (which doesn't make any fucking sense btw, who's the retard who decided a city that took a direct nuke strike is still 80% intact?) The retards at capcom somehow forgot that Leon's sections are supposed to be the fun fast paced and action packed part but instead regular zombies are bullet sponges who shrug off fucking MORTAR FIRE and repeated shotgun blasts to the face because your guns have no punch at all. Basically any deaths you get in this game just feels cheap because of how poorly they did the combat and it's laughable seeing as how 4 came out 21 years ago and it STILL holds up! And don't get me started on how the second act zombies are somehow the original T virus zombies from RE 1/2 but they were lazy and just reskinned the hospital zombies from the start of the game gave them generic growls instead of spoken dialogue and auto tuned the noises they make which sounds like absolute ass.

Who coded this shit!? HOW do you go from the fun action packed cheesy B movie-esque great time with fast fluid and consistent combat, weighty guns and satisfying boss fights in 8 to THIS trash? I legit just exited the game due to it not working properly and so that I could come here to scream into the void. How in the flip flying fuck capcom is so inexcusably inconsistent with their QC and how they never learn anything from it is absolutely mind numbing.

The In-universe explanation, because the "nuke" used in the remake continuity (the last game in the "regular" continuity was RE6. 7 technically started a new one where the events of the remakes are canon instead) wasnt a nuke but apparently some sort of heat based experimental whatever explosive that apparently left some infrastructure and even a few creatures alive (as to why there was no clean up crew, well...uhh...shut up). The original continuity used an experimental NUKE that intended to level literally everything within reach of the town, not even underground locations were spared as all was left was, pretty much, a giant ass crater as seen in an Outbreak ending that had the implication "something" was still alive, a plot point never picked up upon ever again. That is why Remake R.C is still "mostly" standing. Now if that makes sense or not, thats another story.

But alas, we now have the Out-universe explanation, member berries. Capcom wanted to really appeal to the member berries, especially towards the REMAKE version of R.C as we constantly are shown the version of events from that game and not the original's. They had the idea of "What if Leon returned to the remains of R.C?! Wouldnt that be cool?!" and independently if it made sense or not, here we are.

The literal TLDR is "Capcom was lazy as fuck with this game" and yet it's still "overwhelmingly positive" on steam gushing over how this game is "like experiencing all of the RE games at once" as if that kind of lazy trash is something to celebrate lol.

It was changed from a nuke in outbreak which also introduced the concept of umbrella introducing new bioweapons to the city in order for them to test them. The thing is outbreak wasn't necessarily canon to the main games and so until re9 there was no need to worry about it. Re3 remake is just canonizing outbreaks events as is Re9. The real issue is Re3 remake is pretty mid as is Re9 on repeat playthroughs. Both are fun on a first playthrough but after 100%ing then I can't see myself playing either of them any more.

That being said. Plant 43 surviving is odd. Since it's killed by fire anyway. Which the thermo part of the missile that strikes the city clearly stands for. How does a 10 gas canister fire do more than a city wide ball of far hotter flame?
 
The thing is outbreak wasn't necessarily canon

Actually they are canon*, with RE 7 even referencing Alyssa in a newspaper.

The explosion was always meant to be a nuke that absolutely leveled the city to a crater, it was the only way to be sure given how little they knew about the T-Virus back then. In this retcon, it just seems like they carpet bombed the city instead or used a pretty weak nuke that would leave behing some ruined but still standing infrastructure.

And even RE3R supported it was a nuke, with that original small subplot with getting the antivirus to the government in exchange of cancelling the operation that didnt exactly go anywhere, it wasnt like this had the chance to turn into an AU around R.C being spared.

Even if we go along with the "thermal" whatever retcon, it still wouldnt make sense there would be shit still alive in it, you mean to tell me the government didnt dispatch a couple of clean up crews or hell, the BSAA didnt feel like sending some troops in there to make sure there was no risk of something dangerous still being alive?

I dont necessarily MIND retcons, it is just that they need to add more than they take away and having R.C back really is a matter of member berries and kind of breaks your immersion. I guess it also reafirms just how much remake coded this entry is because the original continuity made sure you knew that the whole city was GONE and if you werent out by then, tough luck. With this new explosion? Im sure if someone hid in a bunker they would have been able to survive.

This only exists to justify a super SUPER secret lab existing underneath the super secret lab (thats some Austin Powers shit or the type of stuff Billy and Mandy would have as a joke)


*Most if not all spin-offs are canon, with maybe Operation Raccoon City being the only one that is a tad ambiguious and difficult to justify.

The missile was always thermobaric, but at least one English guidebook (the 'Resident Evil Archives' book) mistranslates it as nuclear.

People get a bit too caught up in the exact nature of the missile, when the key detail that RE9 retcons is the extent of the damage the missile did:


The third building focused on here is the RPD, which is obliterated.
 
how little they knew about the T-Virus back then.
The Federal Government knew everything, Hunk is literally being sent to retreive the G-Virus on their behest, as Birkin was initially trying to defect to the Fed, but clearly cold feeted them, and they were done waiting.

They knew everything that was going on, it was, afterall, them being the main interest group in buying the B.O.W.'s, why do you think they blockaded the outskirts on like day 1 of the outbreak?

My point was Outbreak is the game which reconned the missile to be thermobaric. Not RE:9. So the canon of Outbreak was wishy washy until 9. As for your message about making sure nothing was alive. They did. Nothing was alive prior to Umbrella redoing their experiments in secret. The tyrant, the zombies, the spiders, Gideon, Zeno, the lickers, outside of ark itself which was hidden via a sealed wall by 98 (it's sealed off during RE2) and likely only revealed thanks to the new plant43's hunger. All the bows were added after the bombing of raccoon city. And the US government would only have people working for the government like Derrick Simmons knowing they were doing that because they have moles everywhere.
 
Got myself those classic RE games + RE3 remake(Yeah i know it's not a good remake but it was 4 bucks and it could still be fun for one run.), started with RE2 OG, and damn they just drop you like a baby in the woods, no tutorial or anything, just straight up start on the streets filled with zombies and a control scheme i was not yet used to, it did work quite well to create tension at least.
 
so anyway. I have bought a new laptop with rtx 5050, so now I can play RE games higher than 30fps. and the more I replay the games, the more I start to really hate the handguns in the REmakes, particularly 4 and 9. at first I thought it was just quirky japanese coding where the guns feel shit at low fps, but no, the handguns are just represented poorly in RE games.

first of all, handguns in real life are not like handguns in RE games. they dont have crazy recoil and you can shoot it as fast you can pull the trigger. I mean a glock 17, even with full auto switch doesnt go wild with recoil and can shoot fast.

so with the RE1 and 3, I can somewhat forgive how handguns are shit there, I just blame Kendo, extending the M92F magazine with
additional bullets but possibly reducing the rate of fire and probably adjusted the trigger pull weight from average of 3kgs to 20kgs so its harder to pull and shoot fast. so who ever made/customized the STI eagle in RE3 is a better gunsmith than Kendo, because it shoots faster than the Samurai Edge, which is what you want.

with RE2 remake, I can forgive it somewhat because Leon is a rookie cop and Claire is a civilain and using a revolver.
in RE3 remake, I can somewhat forgive it, since Jill just scavenged a handgun from a dead cop, so it may be possible that the handgun for normal cops are just single action only with higher trigger pull weight

with RE5, I can somewhat forgive it too, because Chris didnt bring his guns (except his guns, get it?) and had to rely from a supplier, so he probably got a shitty M92F, but even then, it has a laser sight attached to it.

RE7 and 8 is forgivable because Ethan is a civilian anyway.

RE6 is probably the best way the handgun is represented, Leon can shoot it quite fast and there's not much recoil, and it has a laser sight attached to it.

but REmake 4 and 9 has the shittiest handguns ever. the firing rate is too slow, the reload is too slow, the recoil is bad, and Leon didnt bring a gun with a laser sight or even a holo sight.

for reference, here's someone shooting a M92F in one hand,

TL:DR; Capcom needs to make handguns not shit in RE games just for the sake of game balancing
