Has anyone seen The Watchers yet and care to comment?

I watched both of the Don't Breathe movies yesterday. The sequel has the blind army guy as the protagonist against a gang, so it did not really come across as a horror movie like part 1 was.

I thought Summer Game Fest sucked sweaty balls. It just felt like a huge waste of time to tune into it tonight.

Capcom is scheduled for the 7th.

Anyone know what day Capcom will be there? You know how much we love Ca$hcom and their glorious RE remakes, etc.

Until Summer Game Fest comes around, I'm gonna rest up from survival horror rants and forums in general. I just need a break. I was on the ball tonight, though. Konami even revealed the SH2 remake release date is 8 October. So, nice one.

So I watched the Silent Hill showcase earlier on, alongside Michael Does Life. Konami didn't even show off that Japanese based game, or Townfall. What they did show was fine. The nurses seem very nasty, just like they are in Homecoming. But when James, Maria and Laura are in the hospital, it's way brighter in this remake as the light comes in the windows. It's not a big deal, I guess, but the original game's hospital section was really creepy because it was dark, and I still think this 2024 version is just kind of inferior. A lot of new horror games also lack music as well. What gives?

Yeah. The event wasn't worth a toss. But revealing the release date of SH2 was a great confirmation.

Silent Hill 2 = 08/10/2024

I cannot say news about any more remakes interests me in the slightest. I'd rather have some news about RE9 or whatever.

Do remember to tune in.

Thanks for letting us know about the Silent Hill showcase. Apparently, Capcom is not remaking RE1. It could be 0 the prequel, as well as CV. We should know soon enough about Capcom's plans. They occasionally do a RE stream for any important updates on the series.

Is there any major gaming event planned for June?

I started watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

What I meant was, he's too overpowered. He even does suplexes, kicks and bulldogs. But they all are too OP now, to be honest. But Chris is still the top dog.

This is a matter of opinion, but I think the franchise lost the scare factors it became renowned for once they made Leon and all that into the main protagonists. The games and movies Leon is seen in are always heavy on explosions and stuff. Now, okay. He is a cool character, but he is also incredibly macho. While games like RE7 and 8 are corny to me, at least the main character is just a 'normal' guy, until the mould stuff changes him. But you know what I mean, I guess. Because games with new blood are the best survival horror storylines, in a Silent Hill kind of way. It's always interesting when a civilian just ends up thrown in at the deepest end of the pool right away, having to unravel the mystery as to how he or she got there. It's actually really compelling. By bringing back Chris and these other veterans, though, the games have too much violence. And so as a result, they feel like Michael Bay productions in gaming form. The storylines are also evidently silly, which is because Capcom is probably struggling to conjure up new plot aspects that haven't already been attempted. Because can we be honest here? Their creative team sucks. If people say the franchise has always been like that (as in cheesy), I half disagree. Because there's a campy vibe, and then there's the ludicrous stuff like what RE8 is known for. The memes culture totally loves that game, but I think it's just daft. So I hope we won't be seeing flying saucers and little green men in the franchise next. You just never know what lame trash Capcom is gonna chuck in for to make a quick dollar.

Some insiders said recently that they don't think the rumours are genuine. Nonetheless, Dusk Golem is often right when it comes to what he reveals. So it's kind of a pity that certain users online accuse him of being inaccurate, or not one to be trusted, when the guy has been spot on before about a lot of things. His track record is relatively fine, really.

Naughty Dog get a lot of guff from people, who say they make movie games. Honestly. They haven't let me down. Their games are stunning to play and even to look at. I actually think (and I hate to say it), they did a better job than Capcom has over the past several years. Although maybe comparing these two different companies in an apples and oranges kind of way is peculiar. Not that Capcom is bad all the time, but they have gotten so money hungry.

I think it is fine as it is. It came out in 2002 so it is a bit old now, sure. But I remember when the HD version came out, it made a profit. Even RE4 was fine and did not need to be remade. Although they altered the controls in the ports. The original game is fine, besides being unable to move and shoot concurrently. It didn't really have to be remade, but I know Capcom wanted to make more money, as they know RE4 is the most acclaimed game in the whole franchise, I suppose. The thing with RE9 and the animated movies and all that, is that Leon, Chris and the others are too used to bioweapons. So by having them return in newer entries, the vibes are not particularly of a scary tone. They're now very OP in terms of their heroic efforts, so the games have diminished a lot in terms of the scare factor. Which I dislike.

While the RE2 remake is better than RE3, some aspects to it were a let down. The second scenario for example did feel like a repeat. Both characters aren't supposed to enter the general store next to the petrol pumps, as Leon was supposed to inspect the corpse laying on a road. Then Claire runs out of the diner, at which point Leon shoots a zombie in the head. But actual headshots during the game itself never really proved effective against the undead. There was also cut enemy types, with notable things gone such as the spiders. Again, maybe that doesn't impact the game as such, but the RE1 remake in 2002 only had subtle changes, and everything from the graphics to the new Crimson Head zombies and Lisa Trevor as a Nemesis-esque boss who follows you, was well received at the time. In my opinion, the RE4 remake was really good. But I mean, RE4 has always been an enjoyable action game, if you try to remember that it's not a true survival horror experience you're playing. I do believe RE4 and RE5 caused the eventual downfall of the series, but they are fine action games to judge as such. 5 and 6 are just a lot of fun with co-op, but they aren't remotely as atmospheric as the titles from the PS1 era. And this is because they are too action oriented, and the villagers and whatnot can provide a lot of ammo when you eliminate them, which has always giving me arcade vibes since most of the enemies never use guns.

What about 0, C:V, 5 and the Outbreak games? Do you reckon they will be remade too?

They've milked the series so much, I cannot even be arsed to discuss it anymore. Yeah. It really has reached that stage for me. It's gonna be compared to the 2002 remake too much anyway. People will see all the things Capcom left out and just call it the inferior version, only to wonder why it was made in the first place. But it's obviously just another cash grab because Capcom knows everyone will line up at the buffet table. Although I'm quite sure these are the same gamers who praise the RE2 remake, yet that game doesn't even feel anything like the classic 1998 title, since too much was altered. And they had years to work on getting it right...

Oh, dear God. It will be linear and ruined. Want to see crows as enemies, or something else you remember from the 2002 version? Then you can just go and demand it all as DLC to let Capcom know it sucks! My interest overall? Bomb out of zilch. https://www.dsogaming.com/news/capcom-rumored-to-be-working-on-a-remake-of-the-first-resident-evil-game-on-the-rex-engine/

YEET!
