Looking forward to it, hopefully it doesn't crawl up its own ass and becomes self serious though. 4/7 (the latter less so but still) work really well on a story front because they wink to the camera at the absurdity of what's happening in the game.

Dusk Golem: Resident Evil 8 is Darkest and Most Gruesome Resident Evil Game!
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
To be fair what Alyx does is eons removed from what RE7 did and I assume it will be the same for 8. One is designed for VR the other has VR added on.
Yeah, I don't mind darker corners; I mean, RE7 had some really gross stuff going on in it, and was definitely kind of edgy. But, it also had a bit of humor to go along with it and seemed at least somewhat aware of its crazier components. As long as they still lean into that, I'm more than happy with whatever envelopes they want to push in terms of violence or story beats.
Thanks for the answer. It makes me feel a bit better.
Hm...
-Killed/Attempted to Kill Pregnant Mia.
-Killed/Attempted to Kill Ethan's kid.
-Killed/Attempted to Kill Jill Valentine
-Found out there's a cure for this particular problem, doesn't care and wants to/does kill everyone who could be saved.

Totally understandable, but the image quality with say a HTC Vive Pro or Index is eons above the PSVR. Playing RE7 on PSVR, was still a great experience, only hampered by it's hardware and image quality. I wanna see RE Engine in VR with a better quality screen.
?
As someone who had no/slight problems with RE3R, it should be noted that a different team (the primary RE2 team) is doing RE8.
I'll say this, its very likely to be in the game's reveal trailer and is an event that sets the events of this game off.
Yeah fuck this game I'm out. Why Capcom wants to keep ruining Chris I have no fucking clue.
Appreciate the details.
Same. RE7 was such a huge disappointment that I couldn't care less about this. Wake me up when the next 3rd person game comes out.
Gotcha. So we'll see something right up front. Cool.
So I'll assume it's something to the Winters family. Alternatively to Zoe Baker.
Ethan is the main hero. There's an unspecified other PC.
Just poking fun that it seemed like a bold question given your name, provided NDA here means non-disclosure agreement.
If Chris takes a heel turn I hope it's actually justified well in the story (particularly since it'd be easy to tie it to long-term stress and strain from fighting bioweapons for decades). I kind of felt like it'd be easy to follow RE6 with that kind of story (especially since Chris's story in RE6 basically boils down to "he fails a lot and gets people killed"), but RE7/Not A Hero kind of had him back to pretty standard Chris (er, character-wise, not his face). But I'm not opposed to it as a concept.
(Probably helps that Chris is my least favorite of the Big 4, and this would be an interesting turn since Capcom still insists on him being front and center compared to the other three)

If you're worried about gore, don't be.
Yes, as they want to release the game early 2021.
I suggest to be open minded, but I susprct it'll be divisive for a few reasons.
So when he says redesigned Chris does that mean the one from RE7 or another version of him?
would prefer if they just kept the RE7 model, as he resembles an actual human being that could actually exist IRL.

Heh. Point. I know the acronym was non-disclosure agreement, and should've realized that implication. Sorry.
In my case, the username refers to a school I attended, since resetera requires a school or business e-mail.
IMO that made a lot of sense considering the VR mode. His relative lack of dialogue helped the immersion for me anyway.
Chris is my favorite RE character and that ties into my interpretation of RE as a pulpy horror comic.
If they try and turn my favorite hunk into some dumb vigilante who does horrible shit then I got no interest in what they're selling.
Maybe if it wasn't first person I could have worked through it, but both of those together? Yeah no thanks.
Again not to sound ungrateful for the info that's just my take from it.
Super excited for a true sequel to 7. RE7 is my favorite RE game this gen, even over the remakes
With VII, I think it was they wanted a clean break from "Fought a tentacle monster in a volcano" or "Argued with a Tyrannosaur over who Ada's boyfriend was", so they went with a (very bland) everyman. They dialed things back where an asshole with a chainsaw was a boss (who you fought, with a chainsaw, granted), when they were recurring mooks in the past few main games, so they had to dial back the protagonist. They should've added more flavor, but a lot of RE characters didn't have a ton of well... character in their first appearance.
Hopefully they can expand on him a little more in this one.
Am I right in suspecting it'll be announced at Sony's showcase? Blink twice if I'm right lol
Oh yeah gotta protect the precious realism in a game where you fight psychic mold controlling ring girl and redneck Jigsaw.
They made Chris boring and sucked any charm the character had. The least they could do is fix that garbage.
Silent Hill
Resident Evil 8
The Medium
Vampire 2
As a huge horror fan, I couldn't be happier :) Just need a new Siren, The Evil Within, and Dead Space to round things out!
Well yea. There's crazy monsters and all kinds of mad shit in RE but as far as I know Chris isn't infected with any superhuman virus so should probably still resemble a human somewhat.
roid rage Chris is the worst character design in the entire series, and that is saying a LOT.
My suggestion still is to keep an open mind.
No idea when the reveal is actually, but it was planned for E3 before COVID-19 hit.
Yes, he'll be RE7 Chris but the model updated to be a bit beefier, his face more rugged and more closely resembling RE5/RE6 Chris.
I STILL can't believe we're supposedly getting a new Silent Hill, from the dream team too 🤯
Weird stance to have, but I am kind of tired of all these tidbits. I just want to see it now!
It was losing his true love Piers that sent him over the edge.

How doesn't he? And even if you have to ruin Chris why doesn't he look anything like any of his previous designs? Everyone else in the RE engine still looks close enough but with Chris it's like Capcom listened to all the people who called him boring and deiced to go "oh you think THAT'S boring?"
Lord I fucking hate RE7 Chris with every fiber of my being. Why the fuck did they not keep Roger Craig Smith!?!
Just have some cool variety in enemy design. I want to move on from RE7's meh molded design, and RE2R and RE3R were course a improvement.
He looks like a walking tree trunk, character model was absurd. Personally Im not mad about the RE7 version, I want the REmake version of him back, but the RE7 model is far preferable to that RE5/RE6 abomination
For enemy talk, I'm not saying anything new here as all of this was in the Ambassador demo, but even just in that there were:
-Zombies, they're a new type of zombie though.
-Beastmen, the werewolf things people mention.
-Witch, a stalker who's really tall with an obscured face, laughs a lot and does things with insects.
-Juggernaut, its this burly chained up dude with a staff.
And I can tell you there's more than these four enemies in the game and the zombies and Beastmen have some variety to them.
