Resident Evil Showcase, Thur 20 October 2022, REm4ke looking tremendous!

[MansizeRooster]

Aye this looks great. Silent Hill 2 looks beat already.

[Uncle Nasty]

Pretty much a dream come true. Best game gets even better.

[drkbfhmmr]

Brilliant! I'll buy it at a high price!!!

 

[Sarlaccfood]

Shit I was convinced they were gonna announce a delay. March feels really soon!

 

I was so sceptical about this and firmly in the “doesn’t need a remake” camp, but this is looking absolutely fantastic. 

[Popo]

RE8 DLC Next week is pretty sweet, don’t know if that was already known. 

[Calashnikov]

Looks incredible. The wee guy is still in it. And the castle. They did it.

[Popo]

I tell you what, that’s how you do a direct. Nae chatting about getting drunk in Poland or reading letters from JJ Abrams, just the games.

I don't get stuff like this at all. 

 

How are they even competing? 

[Kayin Amoh]

As someone who found Re2make's 'run past the zombies and do some puzzles' approach incredibly boring, Re4make's looking totally rad. Hip tosses and roundhouses are totally the way this should be done.

[Calashnikov]

I’ve been RE-playing both REm2ke and REmak3, jumping back and forth between the two in some sort of simultaneous chronological chainsaw order this past week to get hyped up for Halloween and they’ve both been brilliant. REm4ke looks next level though.

Because "gamers" are idiots. Everything has to be a war. Something they stupidly attach themselves and their life's meaning to.

[Calashnikov]

Might even stay up late and kick Nicolai’s cunt in tonight because I’m now too hyped to sleep.

Because they're both current-gen remakes of survival horror games that were competing with each other around the same time almost two decades ago?

Given Konami's practically non-existant involvement in console games these days I'd hardly call it a competition at this point though.

[Kayin Amoh]

This reminded me that I need to replay The Evil Within 2 again soon because it rocks. Survival Horror's a good genre - with Dead Space, Calisto and Re4make on the way, things are looking pretty good for the near future.

I’m not heavily invested in either but it’s inevitable that two remakes of two survival horror games from two different publishers will get compared, as they did back in the day.

 

From what I’ve seen Resi 4 remake looks better but I don’t get any sense of achievement or reward from that decision.

[Kayin Amoh]

Oh, is that Village 3rd person enabled 60 min demo live? I couldn't see it on MS store right now.

[Flanders]

I was wary about the RE4 Remake because the rumblings were they were going to do a more serious horror take on the concept but the village section is even more amped up than ever and Leon parried the chainsaw guy with his pistol and the merchant is there and Salazar looks like a tiny Donald Trump in a wig now oh my god oh my god it’s the best game ever on rocket fuel 

[amc]

I'm only a couple of hours into Village, probably wait for the third person mode to finish it. Third person coming in a patch? Happily buy an update if it comes with the DLC.

Comes with the Winter's expansion. I don't think 3rd person is free, probably have to buy it along with the other gubbins but I could be wrong.

[Broker]

Ashley looks a lot older, which is a really good thing.

Seriously?

 

They're both essentially the same type of game, and most people looking for a next-gen horror game are going to choose one or the other, not both. It comes down to which one is going to get my, and other players, survival horror dollar.

Because you won't feel quite as guilty about where you aim the camera now? I getcha.

Remember Luis refers to her dids as ballistics, it’s not only Broker who’s a dirty bastard.

Is RE4 survival horror?

 

 

More importantly though it's not like they were competing with each other back when the originals came out and they won't be competing now as we know RE4 is out in March and Silent Hill 2 has just been unveiled with not even the slightest hint of a release date.

 

 

Talking about Callisto Protocol and the Dead Space remake competing with each other makes some sense as they are similar looking games releasing relatively close to each other. This and Silent Hill 2 remake? Not so much. 

[SuperCapes]

Has anyone watched the extended trailer? 

 

The new survival horror elements look utterly brilliant!!!

 

Canny wait! 

[deerokus]

It looks fantastic 

[Calashnikov]

Huber’s already played some of it, whit?

We what!? Choose? If both are good they're both going to get played in general I suspect. Of course if they release anyway near the same time then maybe it's a choice which gets played first but people.are buying multiple identi-kit shooters and survival craft-em ups, and indie rogue likes, and racing games.

[Benny]

They're definitely going the right direction with this, just like the other Resi remakes. Making something inspired by the original but doing its own thing.

 

Can't decide if I want to play through classic Resi 4 again with that new texture patch first though.

Hmm I dunno, it’s actually more faithful than I thought. That village layout is so identical I’m not sure I’d bother with a replay of the original this close to release.
