Basically this, if it's not in VR it will be extremely disappointing

Dusk Golem: RE8 in 2021, cross-gen, was formerly Revelations 3
- Thread starter Genesius
- Start date
So then, Resident Evil... as Silent Hill.
OK!
I really don't have much of a problem with that, especially considering SH could not be more dead right now. You actually had me guarded when you said "huge departure". Thought we were about to get a RE kart racing game here.
EDIT: Also, "not being able to trust others". Like in The Thing? That sort of paranoia and suspicion?

Is it that vague? There are a number of pretty specific details there...
We just got 2 great games in third person, I think people can deal with another in first person.
what does "revelations" actually mean now that the remakes both use essentially the same formula? especially if revelations is uh, now first person?
the surprise for me is that a first-person game with ethan wouldn't just be called RE8 from the beginning.
It's cross-gen, so yes.
For clarification on this, I know AS Rev 3 Ethan, Chris and Rebecca were all playable. I got confirmation Rebecca got the boot, but I also heard Ethan and Chris "changed". I have no idea what that means so for now just kinda' assume the characters could be anyone. It could still be Ethan and Chris, or maybe not. It's like a weird Schrodinger's box situation for me right now.
Dusk Golem You've teased that the RE3 Team was working on another remake, recently. When do you think you'll ne able to reveal what it is ?
''Hallucinations, Occultism, insanity and not being able to trust others''
Sounds like it's taking The Evil Within 1 approach?

To me it sounds like they are revisiting ideas and themes from earlier versions of RE4.
There's a little bit of Evil Within, you'll especially see it in one of the main villains designs.
But trust me when I say it's going in a different direction. I'm holding my tongue here, but let's just say this game deals far more with myths and folklore than sci -fi stuff.
Nemesis in RE3 made me realize that we've been kind of starving for more interesting things to shoot at in RE for a while. Like, werewolves and shit sounds great to me -- different things in general sounds great, because while RE will always be known for zombies et. al., it gets *really* interesting when it's offering up more exotic and dangerous beasts. Nemesis is such a fun creature to be in the world with and RE3 proves that you can still get a scary experience even when you up the ante without tipping things over into RE4-style constant action.
More like Outlast. Maybe the reason Dusk expects we'll hate it is because there's no combat or something. That's more of a Western style horror anyway.
Call me crybaby but for f*ck's sake Capcom just make a new IP. It's not gonna kill you!
Stop trying to shoehorn everything into the RE universe, like seriously in what way is RE2, RE4, RE5, RE7 and now RE8 even possible in the same world?
Why risk having fans divided about first person vs third person when RE7 itself could've easily been a new IP? Why even shoehorn Chris and Umbrella into that, it's so inconsistent and honestly poorly written.
Amazing stuff but all these RE8/Rev3 details would've sounded more exciting as a new IP
but now they have to shoehorn the RE universe into it while worried about bewildering the fan's expectation for a Resident Evil game
You're already taking risks anyway Capcom
JUST MAKE A NEW IP
I swear to god Capcom is obsessed with the brand while the team is desperately trying to innovate & break new grounds
Imagine making Bloodborne and Sekiro but the boss tells you they're all Dark Souls and the lore should be accommodated to DS universe

Lmao! I reserve judgment. The original RE7 ideas all seemed loony for a bit before we got actual gameplay.
Phew, I thought its "departure" was going to be some mmo/rpg shit. Hallucinations and insanity remind me of scrapped RE4 build, which is awesome. Now if they can throw in some eery atmospherical environments instead or boring mansions and get rid of pointless backtracking I would be all in. Afterall this game can't be worse than RE7.

The main settings of the game were in the previous leak before this one, which is a European Snowy Village and Castle. Those aren't the only locations in the game, but are the "primary" locations.
RE4 isn't that weird or outlandish, really. Umbrella experimented with the use of parasites to control organisms, the most notable example obviously being Nemesis, so the Las Plagas are simply a naturally occurring one instead of a genetically engineered one.
It's the aesthetics of a Spanish village and castle that set it apart and that's totally fine. The bright oranges, browns and greys really stand out compared to the usual colours of Raccoon City.
RE7 I'll admit is a bit harder to justify but I actually liked how the game is basically saying "this is what Umbrella's competitors were making and it's so unreliable and dangerous that now you know why Umbrella basically had a monopoly on the BOW market".
They could certainly get away with a few more games like this before bringing Umbrella back and reintroducing lethally refined BOWs. The whole point of the creation of BOWs is they're meant to be marketable to militaries and private armies and, clearly, something like Eveline is far less valuable than a Tyrant.
You drop a Tyrant like Mr. X into the middle of an enemy encampment and it'll kill pretty much anything up to a small army by itself. What's Eveline gonna do in the same situation, get everyone high on mushrooms?
I hope they push the extra mile this time,they've released 4 great games in a row but there's always something with this RE Engine games that stops them from being excellent or something close to that.
It's an great engine when it comes to visuals but there's something really wrong at the same time,it feels like they really struggle to develop these games.
I just don't want another game that starts really strong and when you're halfway you notice that they're running out of gas,it started with 7 and now i see the same pattern in every game in this engine.
If they really have something that good with this new game,maybe push it to 2022 so they can iron everything out.
I can live without RE for one or two years.

You can sort of justify them all but I honestly feel like RE7 would've been better off being a new IP, this way it gives the writers more liberties as well
Let's not forget a big part of what makes RE7 an amazing experience is the unknown element, is it a ghost? is it a virus? is it a demon? who's behind this? who's Eve?
The ''blue umbrella'' and Chris Redfield are all reveal at the very end, and it serves no purpose whatsoever, if anything it makes RE7 less interesting knowing it's all just the same bioweapon shit over again
RE8 seems like it's trying to do something new, too bad Capcom had to make it a Rev3 and then when it's well received literally force it into RE8
It sounds like it's going all in on the feeling of the beginning of RE7, which I loved, so I'm all for that.
You asked the right question to make me want to say a bit more.
There's actually three "stalkers" in RE8, one of them was in the Ambassador demo people played, which is this Witch that laughs a lot and dissipates into a swarm of insects when you shoot at her. She's kinda' different than the normal RE stalker types (as are the other two), she is more of a trickster and likes to mess with you.
Oh yes. I love me some snow, and some Europe. I don't think RE has had a genuinely good snow locale since the Antarctica base in CV.
Any chance the castle will be bigger than the RE4 castle now that they're expanding it to a mainline title?
