The remake is awful, though. It doesn't look nor play like the original game. There's clipping issues, a linear gameplay style, and no real exploration of the city, despite what Capcom said. Like, I think you just go to a toy store and a doughnut shop. In the original, you went to so many more places. And they were actually places you could walk inside. They weren't just scenery.

I was actually so bored a few weeks ago, that I played Resident Evil 6 as Chris. And while I think it's disgraceful to the franchise overall, it's still a pretty kick arse game. That is, if you enjoy shooting up everything. I wonder what's going with the DLC for Resident Evil Village, because Capcom hasn't had any updates to provide us since June. Not that the game is all that brilliant anyway. They're probably going to do a Lady Dimitrescu side story or something, as fans got very little of her in the main game, because when Capcom was heavily promoting her to the simps through the trailers that inspired those memes about her, nobody knew that she was just a glorified side villain. You know?

The remake of Resident Evil 3 is still selling massive amounts of copies. The same with the second remake, which I am not particularly fussy about either. I think that game is terrible. If Capcom were intending to make a mockery of the original game, then they certainly succeeded.

Health is wealth. Don't ever take up smoking.

Last week, my mother suffered a heart attack, brought on by near renal failure. I think she is improving, but I only found out on Sunday night that she was hospitalised. You can imagine I was very agitated that nobody had informed me sooner.

Well, I'd be lying if I said I wanted anybody else other than Team Silent. Of course, they're no longer with Konami. They are working on a new horror game, though, which I hope will have combat involved. I hate games where you run like a wimp. And you have to hide, as there's no weapons. You know? Like in Song of Horror or Clock Tower.

I see it as being the very last Silent Hill game. So whenever I come across any hearsay online from people claiming to be insiders, then nothing is announced afterwards, it actively bothers me. The franchise is so beloved by people. Even those who generally hate horror games, truly think Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece. It's art. It's beautiful. It's grim. All in equal measures. I don't even want to logistically count that handheld one, or P.T. (which was just a demo for a cancelled game) as being the final games, as they don't feel like mainline entries. So can I just stand by what I said? I can't see the series coming back. So, um. Post your memories of the franchise down below, and... I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL! Foo ken keys.

So I just seen Scream (aka Scream 5) on a site, I better not mention here. What a GARBAGE repeat, and it's not even very entertaining or original either. Wes Craven, you deserve so much better. RIP, good sir.

Then please tell Konami to make a proper game in the Silent Hill franchise again, since Capcom ripped off P.T. for their recent RE sequels, created in first person, and they need to show them who the boss is here. Did you see the house with the dolls in RE8? Yeah. I wonder what that segment was supposed to be 'paying homage' to. In all seriousness, it has been forever since Konami gave a damn about the series, so expect everybody to start posting the hearsay again real soon, because I reckon that's the only thing keeping the name "alive" these days!

But Silent Hill. I'm waiting for you. In my special place!

Where are you, RE8 DLC? Seriously. It's been about 6 months since E3, Capcom. We are all waiting patiently... I haven't actually played any other games this year. But that has had me interested for a while, because it could be about Chris investigating why bioweapons were sent to RE8's titular village. And I'd like to know if Ethan survived that blast. He is supposedly the guy in the epilogue, who you see walking by himself near a car, but he's not even clearly shown. Some people did something with the camera to identify him, and they noticed Capcom actually decided to give the guy a face!

Now, this I remember. The last boss battle with the Joker wasn't that hard! I think the hardest level was against the Penguin.

So... I reckon Resident Evil Village will win the 2021 Game of the Year tonight. Would you like that to happen? Lady Dimitrescu counts on it.

So did anybody see the new RE movie?

This came the day after Tokyo Game Show ended. All of these, "the series is getting revived" rumours have all been the same. Just wait until Konami announces something. Should they confirm anything at all.

Technically, Ghostbusters was a number one film in both 1984 and 2020. Last year, when most cinemas were closed because of Covid, the movie was very successful in the drive-in theaters. That's a very rare feat...

I prefer the Statue of Liberty over the tall, sailor, marshmallow man. It's a bit sad to see the twin towers showing up in famous films, due to what happened back in 2001. But we will never forget!

I seen The Invisible Man from 1933. Amazing!

Resident Evil: Find the Flasks, is more like it. LOL.

It's sad and unfortunate, but I don't think we will be running around the fog shrouded streets of Silent Hill ever again. A darn shame too, as it's one of their trademark series that put Konami on the map. But of course, that was a long time ago. These days, we have more than enough P.T. clones circulating on Steam anyway. Still. I mean, Akira said in early 2021, that it was "the one you are kind of hoping to hear about". What was that about, then? Surely he wouldn't just say that if it was not about a series we already love. I don't know. The hearsay certainly got annoying after a while. Even today, the rumour mill refuses to die.

I watched the new CGI Netflix series earlier. It was okay. I don't really care much for it, to be honest.

I like Resident Evil: Revelations 2 a lot, and I thought at E3, there was going to be a new game announced about Rebecca Chambers. This site (biohazardcast.com) said it was rumoured to be revealed for the Nintendo Switch, but it never happened. It's supposed to have Rebecca at a university, which is overrun by infected people, and the girl called Natalia, is a student there. She was adopted by Barry Burton, but Alex Wesker is still controlling her mind. So I think she'll be the next major villain in the series. Sounds awesome!

Sherry and Ashley may as well have been the same woman. By the way, the new Netflix CGI series is coming next week, I think.

RE4, 5 and 6 all have areas built like arenas too. There is way too much room to shoot and do stunts. In the older games, hallways were so narrow, you couldn't even really safely run past a zombie a lot of the time. Later RE games have more action, sure. But while I don't particularly welcome that fact, I can still see why that is the case. After you endure a nightmare with bioweapons, or something, like what Ripley suffered with the alien, you end up knowing what to do the next time. So the move towards action was natural, but I guess if you prefer sheer terror, it doesn't meet your expectations. Nonetheless, Aliens is fantastic.

This is probably going to be a very unpopular opinion, but I think merchants being in the series is incredibly dumb. I know other horror type games have a merchant too, or at least a shopping system. I've never really liked that being in RE games, though. I've always felt that Capcom decided to bend their own rules, and some fanboys were like, "Well, whatever!" For a start, how the hell do they get their merchandise from A to B? OK. I know Duke has a carriage. So what? It doesn't really make much sense to me. I mean, the whole idea of RE to begin with is that you were mostly supposed to be a lone protagonist going through creepy environments, with an occasional assist from Barry Burton, or whoever else happens to be nearby. Hell has broken loose. You have to make everything you find, count. In general, you found stuff. No one really just sold you stuff, or whatever. I remember some special weapons being locked away, and you needed to meet an objective first for to earn that reward. Not unlike today, where everything you slay basically dispenses a truckload of bullets and coins. RE4 introduced that silly concept of looting after shooting. I just don't like that in RE games. I know it was in RE2 and 3 somewhat, with Mr. X and Nemesis dropping items. But you can tell Capcom sold out with RE4. And I agree with the poster who was disappointed with 4's inept story. Personally, I will always prefer the PlayStation era games to the overrated rubbish that I know Capcom makes nowadays.
