I wanna motorboat dem titties!
The Merchant was slated to return in RE5 originally, maybe not the same exact Merchant from RE4 but a Merchant.
Daniella is what I think of the most since she's from another Capcom game.
I think the funniest ending would be if she turned out to be a troon.
So rather then a SH dog ending, we will have a RE troon ending. Wouldn't that be something to behold.
Simple design is why I like her.
You act like this wouldn't make the internet love her more
I listened to a podcast two years ago where a couple tried to predict what would be THE monster of the 20's. Going into the 2010's it was zombies, before that it was [footage missing, probably Jap horror]. then there was the Regular Joe killer hiding among you(Scream etc). It's something that resonates with peoples fears or the culture at the time that gives the theme a lot of traction.
On the other hand female villains aren't rare, especially not female monsters in RE and there is also the whole Yandere Genre.
Slashers and zombie movies never went away either but you can't say that there wasn't a slasher and zombie boom at different points in time. And it's not automatically tied to a movie being successful. 28 Days Later was a great zombie movie back in 2002 that critics and audiences really liked, but it didn't start zombie-mania, neither did Shaun of the Dead or Dawn of the Dead, both successful and well received. A couple of years later people REALLY took to zombies. Even though they had seen and liked the previously mentioned movies zombies didn't stick in the same way.
Why make a movie about horrors when fan art beats you to the goal every time?
Outlast 2 had a very tall woman that stalked the player and pick-axed his dick off. Red Barrels are probably decently woke and that character percolated its way into being their big scary horror villain. Now that I think about it, the games two primary enemies are women with/in power and both have sexual undertones.
One is an insane, scary woman who was raped by the fat villain since she was a child, the other is an insane troon cult leader with a decayed face, breasts made from mud and deformed/multilated genitals.
The new woman is trans(formed)! I'm starting to think there's plenty of monster feathers to pluck from his idea.
"Muh male gaze". Its like BioWare doesn't realize who actually plays these games. But that would just stupid and counterproductive, leading to them being a dying studio. Huh, would you look at that, they are! Meanwhile everyone's already drawing fan art, lewd and otherwise of her, and is getting Capcom free hype and advertising.
What gets me is that they're willing to go that far for something so harmless to the average player, but they won't lift a finger to adjust Femshep's jogging animation to make it look less mannish, nor will they tweak Miranda's face to make her look less off-putting (don't even get me started on that reporter from ME3, Jesus Christ what a fuck up that was).
