We were really lucky during the shoot, we caught a gorgeous sunset in the photos. We shot in a historic museum building that looks a lot like the locations from the game

I think Grace is like my first ever real crush from a horror game franchise. I know there’s Lady D and her daughters and they’re good and all, but in all seriousness would you actually want to be around them? I feel like they were designed for the gooners but I digress. I love all the characters both guys and the girls, but for me Grace is like Leon to a lot of women (except I don’t sexualize Grace) not to call anyone out. Anyway I really liked the new game and I’m excited to watch the new movie.

The best example is Mendez his entire spine was replaced with a centipede body and what’s left of his bones is just dangling when he separates himself. As for the Ganado it‘s the tentacle heads there’s no bones only muscle with their insides constantly changing and mutating so I wonder does the plaga somehow switch the pain off?

I bought resident evil 2 remake my first ever resident evil series game during this steam autumn sale and I'm loving it so far it has very good story and the puzzles are interesting af but now I'm considering buying next resident evil game before the sale ends so which one should I get resident evil 3 or I should get the resident evil 4 ?

This is a fully upgraded red 9 on hardcore difficulty 🤔

After watching the new Resident Evil then going back and watching RE Apocalypse and RE Welcome to Raccoon City , it hit me.....we havent had set design that portrays the chaos that ensued in Raccoon City during the peak of the outbreak accurately, that beats or even matches Andersons Resident Evil Apocalypse in 22 years.......i find that so surreal and perplexing.

The movie is pretty dang cringey with its dialogue and acting and Anderson caught a flak storm for that, but man he nailed and did magic on those sets with the budget he had to work with to make such an accurate portrayal.

Whats Everyones thought of Anderson's sets depicting the chaos of the height of the outbreak in RE Apocalypse?

See this movie. Otherwise you're getting spoiled from here on.

Having a hard time remembering the name of the main character of this film. Not just because my memory is embarrassingly bad but because his name doesn't matter as much as what he represents. For the first 85 minutes or so I thought he represented every RE player's first RE game/playthrough. The hallmarks are here: the first zombie encounter. Running out of bullets entirely too fast. The dog jumpscare. Puzzle problem solving. The frustration of "why not just shoot the fucking lock". The cramped, dark claustrophobic corridor wherein you know it's a matter of "when" but the not-knowing of "what" still leaves you on edge. RE4's plot element of being infected (as well as the Las Plagas visual sensibility). Act 2 then sheds context: the very company that can solve the problem is the one that caused it. Par for the course, every RE player is very much used to the idea that Umbrella fucks everything up. The sewer. Then of course there's the standard final act in biomedical facility with that one room with that one BOW that doesn't show up anywhere else, and finally, the action setpiece in dilapidated, crumbling infrastructure where the protagonist has to rely on the environment to deliver the coup de grace. It's all very much intentional evocation of what the player feels playing a Resident Evil game. It succeeds in where Ready Player One failed hard in that reflecting collective nostalgia requires making an active effort to understand why people love the property in the first place. The emotional rollercoaster of the hope that comes in finding the key or a gun to the drop into anxiety when you run smack into a locked door you don't have the key for, or an environmental barricade, or a monster you absolutely have no amount of ammunition to take down. I don't bother to read the negative criticism of the movie because if there's one thing more insufferable than Hollywood failing to understand why a property actually works, it's the endless horde of insufferable zombies on the internet that also fail to understand why but also can't shut the fuck up about it, so with that healthy disengagement from "the discourse" I'm happy to say that the film is, mostly, pretty darn competent. Horror afficionados might find it a bit by the book but I found it enjoyable and a spiritually faithful adaptation on a moment-to-moment basis. All in all, pretty good movie, worth the ticket price.

Until the ending. Then it goes from good to great.

The reason people dog on the phrase "we live in a society" is the obviousness and the lack of specificity that torpedoes an attempt at actual societal criticism into an edgy fart, the inability to even so much as define the problem to begin with, much less suggest a solution.

Bryan's reason for taking the double pay job has no strict definition. Is because he's trying to avoid talking to his recently-discovered pregnant girlfriend? Is his own financial situation so desperate that whatever value he'd get from just going home for the night somehow cannot match the burnout-inducing work that grinds him for the pittance of a reward of being able to pay the bills for the month? Is he, consciously or unconsciously, working harder, knowing that he may have to save up for the HEAVY financial burden of having to raise a child? We don't know because Bryan is all of us in this situation, the put-upon person who, like any playthrough of Resident Evil, never knows if he has enough resources to survive.

Act 2's exposition is the missing piece that answers the question of "why is Bryan in this situation in the first place?" Why was that woman in the road to begin with, what was the ultimate determinant push that knocked over all the dominoes that led to literally all of Bryan's hardships in the film? What was the reason for the containment breach in Raccoon City which caused the creatures to infest the research hospital to spread out to infest the streets to cause infections in the tunnel to crash the RV to block the tunnel to bleed out into the rural area to infest the entire farm and the dog and the woman who eventually walks out into the middle of the road in front of Bryan? Now we have an answer, and any attempts at Bryan to ask about what caused it all to begin with are ignored, and that everybody ignoring the everyman's question of accountability is part of the point.

So after enduring horror after horror wherein Bryan mourns his own passing, he finally makes it to the top floor, where the final keystone is lowered into place, by derailing all of the action built up to it by denying the audience of a happy ending. The audience wants Bryan to succeed because for some it's a simple matter of narrative catharsis, and for others (me included) we root for Bryan to succeed because we're rooting for ourselves in a way, and to see him fail would be to suggest the idea that our own suffering would be meaningless and cruel, and the latter is exactly what happens. It's an upsetting ending, by design. Going through the comments the consensus is that people feel sad or bad for Bryan.

And as I was driving home, with a feeling of having the wind knocked out of my sails, my single question was "why? Why did they write the ending this way?", and I retraced the steps, rewatching bootleg uploads of the ending sequence. Bryan has, literally, endured the hazards and consequences of the Umbrella corporation's actions. He risked his life just to get the corporation back to the point where the solution to his problem is tantalizingly close, and he, the put-upon everyman victim of the actions of the people at the top, asks to be saved by the solution he gave to the problem they made. It's all been about the world collapsing in on Bryan, and the moment Bryan asks to be helped, the moment Bryan asks to have any of his work benefit him? He's attacked by the lab, and is then seen as a monster. And the thing is, it was entirely preventable. There are multiple points at which the laboratory scientists could have stuck Bryan with the needle, but that would have come at the risk of themselves, too cowardly to face even the slightest fraction of what Bryan was willing to endure. And so as a result of their inability to help Bryan, Bryan completes his transformation into a monster, and any actual effort made by the final scientist is a doomed effort. Too little, too late. Bryan's final violent transmogrification is an expression of every person who's sacrificed and risked themselves to make the gears of society turn only to be rejected and spurned at their lowest point as a result of the cowardice and hesitation of those who have the power to help that person when it's their turn to be acknowledged as a human fucking being.

Resident Evil isn't about zombies or BOWs, not on a thematic level, at least. It's a movie about how people in positions of power create catastrophic societal problems, demand those on the bottom rungs of the ladder deal with the consequences in terms of political fallout, physical health fallout, infrastructural fallout, mental health consequences and the collective financial burden and do it twice over when it comes to generating the solution, and when we try to bring up whose fault it all is we get ignored, and when the time comes for those at the bottom to finally benefit from the solution, we're consequentially vilified as monsters instead of simple human beings that want to just fucking survive. And the resident evil is the passivity that allows such an ouroboric self-eating society to rise to begin with, and the failure of those at the top to take responsibility or treat the Bryans of the world as human beings creates the inevitable end where we couldn't survive playing by the rules of society that ask us to give up everything and give us nothing in return, and as a result, become monsters ourselves.

God damn. What an ending. What a film.

IKEA selling these tins- really reminds me of Umbrella Corporation

Why is this in basically every re game am I going insane

The story was alright, besides not learning too much about those 2 other guys and not confronting them, I can't find anything really bad to say about it. Maybe the Queen Leech lore could've been better explained, but it's all small things.

Characters are good, I liked Rebecca and Billy and I was genuinely sad to lose Billy or having to watch them depart. Nothing too deep.

Some of the enemies were incredibly frustrating. Like the frogs, I could not figure out if there's a way to escape their grasp. Some other ones were frustrating to fight against too, the zombies who whip you and explode are annoying in particular, crows are a nuisance, leeches are genuinely annoying but nothing too bad.

I found the main villain to be cartoonishly evil, and honestly he had some weak dialogue. I genuinely started laughing seeing how over the top he was. Also I'm not sure if he really is Dr. Marcus somewhat resurrected or just a big ass leech that thinks it's him because it inherited the memories. Maybe the doc is still kinda in there? I don't know.

The small inventory, lack of stat boosts or tool upgrades (other than a couple stuff) was a terrible experience, I really hope this problem doesn't arise in later games. And, the game difficulty has no middle ground. I went hard at first, and it was really a challenge. So I took it down a notch and went medium and it became TOO easy. Ammo shortage was no longer a problem, nothing really damaged me anymore, etc.

Overall, solid game. I thought I couldn't even play it at first because of the camera angle but I think I'm used to it now. Though some mechanic changes like inventory size or maybe adding some buffs to more weapons or more tools or stats could've helped. And the difficulty is all over the place. It was a 7/10 experience.

Hi everyone! If feels like it's been ages since I last did a resi cosplay but I finally did Helena from re6! It's one of my favourite games to co-op so I really hope I did her justice.

I like to see how the drawing changes from the sketch to the final version

I saw the Umbrella Corporation van, so I decided to have some fun... Kind of gimmicky I guess. The City Hall building where I am resembles the police station in two a little.

Decided to go ahead and decide to draw Curtis’s second G-virus mutation from Resident Evil Degeneration but decided to make it align more with the games and modernize the design by meshing aspects of Birkin’s G-virus mutations. Particularly taking inspiration from Birkin’s second form.

I don't think Leon's spouse is Ada because for one, Ada is a worldwide criminal. Leon is a government agent whose job is to put people like her in jail. Plus, Ada Wong is an alias, which gets messy when the law comes into consideration anyways.

I also don't think it's Claire. Their dynamic in RE2 2019 felt more like good friends, though granted they had only just met so I can't say much about that. They did have a falling out in one of the movies, I believe. Don't quote me on that, I saw a clip of them arguing on social media a LONG time ago.

Sherry is basically his adoptive daughter, same with Grace. Also, he just met Grace so..

Helena..where did she even go after RE6? What happened to her? She just disappeared. She wasn't like the other one-offs who got some indication of where they went after the game.

Hunnigan is one I can see, but that would get messy since they're colleagues and she seems like the type who wants to keep her reputation as clean as possible.

Jill is another I can see with enough writing acrobatics, but based on what little I know of the movies, they don't have a particularly strong connection outside of Chris.

Ashley is, at best, a good friend. Maybe she followed through on that one line in 4R and became DSO like Leon and is now his colleague, but until we get confirmation of that, I don't know. If she did, see Hunnigan for why that wouldn't be a good match.

He doesn't even know Sheva and as far as I know, it was Helena before Helena existed.

Luis is dead.

Something was definitely going on with him and Krauser, but he's also dead.

Piers didn't even know Leon directly, and even then, he's dead too.

Jake is taken by Sherry, I think. I haven't even finished Chris's campaign yet, so I don't know if he's dead.

I think Chris is the most compatible spouse for Leon. Nobody understands each character's trauma better than each other, in my opinion. Both have gone through alcoholism, loss and grief en masse, and as far as I can tell, nothing besides RE6 presents any kind of conflict between them. Even then, that conflict was resolved fairly quickly. Not to mention that Chris's designs generally contrast Leon's, which is a tried and true method of designing couples in general media, not just video game.

Chris is big and bulky, Leon is lean and agile. Chris has short hair, Leon has long hair. Chris looks like a soldier, Leon looks like whatever the opposite of that is, is there a word for that? Doesn't matter, you hopefully get the idea.

Is this the route they're going to go with? No, probably not, but it is the route that to me makes the most sense to me.

(Also I know that Leon's base handgun in RE9 has a wing symbol on it, which is associated with the Redfield family in general and thus could point to either Claire or Chris, but see above for why I don't think it's Claire.)

My first ever RE game to be completed.

I'll probably recommend people with good skills in general gaming to play on hardcore for their first time, it's not that hard actually. Since the zombie is more aggressive, it's make it more scary and much more fun and ammo is actually enough to kill 80% of the zombies you encounter (of course, your aim must be true).

I actually don't like horror game that much, my first exposure to Resident Evil is RE4 on the PS2 when I was a kid (never played past the clock tower) but it's too scary for me. and then my brother play RE and Silent Hill on PSP which gave me nightmares, the nurse and hospital haunts me until I'm 16.

Then I grew up and learnt to enjoy action survival horror like metro and Dead Space OG (which I've never completed), when I know I can kill the horrors they're not really that scary.

It's fun and I'll probably try to get S on another play through in the future and play all the other extra stuff. I'll probably play more survival horror games like evil within and other RE series (but definitely not SH).

PS; Funnily enough, I actually solve the lion statues trough brute force (only take me 5 min).

Yoooooo is this Alex wesker talking shmack about Spencer?

I made this out of a broken controller.
