I love the RE games but was put off when I played RE5 years ago on PS3 so tried it again there on PC at the weekend as it was in my collection but I still couldn't get used to the all action aspect of it which then lead to the terrible RE6
so it has been uninstalled again never to see the light of day and so am left looking forward to Village
I would love to see a remake of 4 to finish off the good ones or even a remake of RE0 or RE: Code Veronica

Code Veronica needs a remake more than any other game in the series at this point. The story, setting, characters and music could translate really well to the new remake style, and the original has aged horribly - mostly due to the rendered backgrounds.

I just wait for village come out don't want burn myself out of resi ðŸ˜…ðŸ˜€

I would definitely play the Chris DLC anyway, the Zoe one really just ties up a loose end from the main game.

There's another Resi showcase scheduled for the 15th of this month. It'll include a new trailer for Village, and some other "surprises"...

Resident Evil 4 remake? Or remaster?

probably some card trading game or some other muck considering Capcom are enjoying just not giving people what they want and forcing multiplayer rubbish on us

It seems that the RE4 remake is about 2 or 3 years off, and Capcom have been announcing their games relatively close to release lately, so I don't think we will be seeing that.

They have remastered RE4 at least 5 times so the next one is a full-on remake.

Mr Crispy · 12-04-2021 10:52pm

Take with a pinch of salt, although this "leaker" has been correctly revealing Village stuff for ages.

So apart from the Village updates, the Resi Showcase told us that RE4 is getting the VR treatment for Oculus Quest 2.

Cool to see it on VR, but i bloody hate exclusivity on VR platforms. Makes an already niche market even smaller.

I'm still shocked that RE7 VR is trapped on PSVR

Reinstalled Resi 7, started playthrough on Easy to just get through the game quickly and experience the story. Goddamn the guest house is still ****ing creepy to this day even though i know what happens. Capcom nailed the horror atmosphere. Makes me want a Resi 1 re-re-make with the new re-engine and in first person.

This is probably a better idea than RE4 remake. I do think they will do it eventually, if only to have a synchronised remake trilogy.

Yeah i saw they will too at some point.
Probably not before re4 and 5 tho. Seems like that's the way they are going.

The day of the remake is what we have now

sure some heavy rumors bluepoint games are making a mgs remake and I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a silent hill remake given that series status of talk about another game.

I'm actually fine with idea of remakes, just as long as new games don't suffer and the remakes are appropriate and actually good. RE2 and RE3 were good ideas to remake, and we're getting RE7 and RE8 on either side of them.

Mr Crispy · 19-04-2021 3:17pm

I'm curious as to what they intend to do with the RE4 remake. Doing it in the same style as the 2 and 3 remakes won't be quite as impactful a change because the original had already ditched the static cameras and tank controls. And then we have yet another version of the OG 4 on the way (VR), so would they be tempted to make the remake of 4 a first person title, I wonder?

nix · 19-04-2021 3:28pm

They should keep it along the lines of 2+3 REmake tbh, keep the proper survival horror trend going like they should/could have, and not full blown arcade shooters

Markitron · 19-04-2021 3:51pm

If they really feel the need to remake it then they should just give it a graphical facelift

Mr Crispy · 28-04-2021 12:48am

Looks like Capcom are running some kind of ARG. There's a thread on reddit, if that's your bag.

Jordan 199 · 17-05-2021 9:40pm

So I completed Resident Evil 8 yesterday. Good game.

Of all the four Resident Evil games I completed, I would rate them in the following order: 2 Remake, 7, Village and 3 Remake.

recyclops · 18-05-2021 8:43am

after finishing 8 and walking around a place that reminded me of 1, I am now back play REmake. its still absolutely class the subtle difference from 1 just make it that much better

Mr Crispy · 19-05-2021 2:08am

Not related to any of the individual games, but I assume some of ye will watch this!

Yeah, although we do have GamesCom this week... Watch this space I suppose!

You know what, I'm looking forward to seeing this in action.

Yea that is actually a really good translation of that character. I have seen people complain about the other shots looking cheap, but on-set shots before the lighting and colour grading are done always look like that.

Mr Crispy · 27-09-2021 3:32pm

RE4 VR will be out on October 21st, exclusively for the Oculus Quest 2.

Riddle101 · 27-09-2021 6:59pm

Has anyone else seen Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness on Netflix yet? It's supposed set several years after Resident Evil 2, and after the events of Resident Evil 4, I believe. The actors who played Leon and Claire in Resident Evil 2 reprised their roles in the series, so i'd like to believe it's canon to the game. I've only just seen the first three episodes, but it looks good.

Zero-Cool · 27-09-2021 7:10pm

I completely forgot to watch that, have to add it to my list.

B.A._Baracus · 28-09-2021 4:22pm

Anyone notice that re3 remake has been scarce in bricks and motar shops for about 6 months now?

It was averaging around 25-29.99 euro. Then it disappeared in the likes of smyths and argos. Gamestop have it for 39.99 but that's too much. Guess it's online I go. Anyone know if it's going cheap anywhere?

Or am I just better off going with a digital copy (I see it for 20 euro on xbox)

Jordan 199 · 28-09-2021 4:24pm

^ Go digital.

It takes about 4 hours to complete so it's debateable if it's even worth a fiver IMO.

B.A._Baracus · 28-09-2021 10:27pm

Just after I posted that today appears a re3 "Director's Cut Nemesis edition" is rumored to be announced at TGS this weekend.

Wonder if that was the reason there was a shortage of physical copies the whole year.

I saw that rumour too, but dismissed it as it originated on 4chan. I could still believe it if there's a better source doing the rounds though.

That thumbnail isn't too convincing

ancapailldorcha · 07-10-2021 12:40am

Started Village yesterday. So far so good though the PC port is nowhere near as good as the ports of the last three Resi titles. A shame.

And now the full trailer. November 24th

Zero-Cool · 07-10-2021 6:31pm

Well would you look at that, a resident evil film that looks like resident evil, count me in! Looks a bit on the shiny side and not digging the song choice (would have loved to hear the original RE 1 music with this) but looking forward to giving this a look.

Markitron · 08-10-2021 11:28am

I don't know when or why every single game/movie trailer started using sombre versions of more upbeat songs, but I wish that habit would just **** off already.

Homelander · 08-10-2021 12:14pm

It's a terrible trailer. Look up the international trailer on YouTube - think it's Russian - and it's ten times better.

Whoever made that god-awful US trailer should be sacked.

Movie itself - looks way more faithful to the source material than the Mila movies, not that that'd be hard......but also looks super-cheap, the effects are pretty awful. Could still be fun though.

Retr0gamer · 08-10-2021 1:50pm

To all those people thinking that trailer looks good, I hope ya'll are prepared for bitter disappointment.

ancapailldorcha · 08-10-2021 1:56pm

Got halfway through the trailer. A "meh" from me. If I remember, I'll have a gander at the reviews but Resi's history on the big screen is a grim story.

brady12 · 09-10-2021 4:34pm

so resi evil fans . iv only played 7 and 8 . i was saving 2 for halloween . but now i'm buying oculus quest 2 and wondering i should play 2 or 4 VR first ? or does it matter story wise ? be cool for my first VR game play resi evil

ancapailldorcha · 09-10-2021 5:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117997788#Comment_117997788

I'd say 7 for VR. Definitely.

Markitron · 10-10-2021 5:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117997788#Comment_117997788

Honestly, you should play the regular version of RE4 before anything else as it is by far the best one

seraphimvc · 13-10-2021 10:30am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117997788#Comment_117997788

Never play them in VR - but RE4 VR is the latest developed so supposedly it should be the best VR RE? :p

Lore wise, if you only played 7, 8, then it doesnt matter much - 1,2-3, 4 are all good games to play ha. the remake of RE2 is excellent, go for that if you want a more traditional RE + modernized gameplay. RE4 is more action/shooter packed for sure.

seraphimvc · 13-10-2021 10:32am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117989552#Comment_117989552

ah ye saw this, i thought 'oh god what really happened there'. it really looks like a SyFy production ahaha - ye not looking forward to it :<
