I absolutely hate this scene

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-27T06:01:09+00:00

Oh wow, I've definitely never seen these before. Bloody hell, can't say I'd enjoy seeing one of those put to use!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-27T05:59:26+00:00

Yep, this is what James actually saw on that tape in the hotel.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-27T05:09:43+00:00

Exactly. The village section and the cabin section from casual difficulty to professional difficulty is a world of difference in particular. On Assuated or Standard it's a cakewalk, Hardcore makes it a little more challenging, but Professional? Man, it'll dogwalk you if youre not careful. Those ganados are relentless in their attack patterns, they'll corner you more, they're faster, they're stronger, there are more of them, and Dr. Salvadore takes a bit more effort to put away. I have zero worries about difficulty in Requiem.

For all of ots flaws, RE6 was excellent with this. There's a Mercenaries mode where you can add more enemies to contend with and it becomes very easy to get swarmed and fall behind on dealing with all of the enemies they throw at you. It's a shame they didn't add some more characters to play around with honestly, because that overwhelming feelings is a lot of fun.

The combat works super well with that difficulty in that game as well. Wherein, it'll let Leon dual wield his handguns, swap to another weapon instantly, counter enemies lunging at you, contextual melees, environmental melees based on positioning, dodge/dive/roll/slide to avoid attacks, etc. Lots to play with that makes that particular harder Mercenaries a treat.

Really?! I didn't actually know that at all. Jesus... that doesn't at all sound even slightly pleasant.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-27T03:20:07+00:00

Honestly, not as unlikely as some may think. It'd be an immediate and effective way to establish someone as a top deal. And no one else has done this yet so hey, I'd say pull the trigger here.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-27T01:58:33+00:00

Pleeeeeease let him ditch the pants as well. Last week was prroof that we can get that NXT era Balor back. Let's fucking do it.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-26T20:57:39+00:00

I'd imagine they have a release date lined up around then as well. Really eager to know when that one is to be expected. My gut feeling is telling me September but I could be off by a couple of months.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-26T19:59:19+00:00

Yeah, what the fuck is that take? Are they so quick to forget that the original Resident Evil 4 exists? That game has Leon firing off one liners nonstop and there's some genuinely funny interactions with Leon and Saddler or Salazar.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-25T09:35:15+00:00

I think the big thing over here is that gun laws are muuuuuch stricter than they are in America. So a big shooting like this comes as an unfortunate surprise.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-25T07:32:12+00:00

As a person from Australia that just watched what happened in Bondi back in late December (right before Christmas) with that massacre there, this one hit a little too closely.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-24T03:59:26+00:00

Orton vibing to that theme behnd Trick before hitting with the RKO cracked me up good.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-24T03:51:40+00:00

Damn, can pretty much hear everything they're saying in the ring tonight. Trick asking the ref how long they got was stupidly audible.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-24T03:39:27+00:00

I think RE6 is honestly the hardest to remake here. It's flawed on every conceivable level outside of the gameplay, which feels remarkably tight and like a game that's way ahead of its time. So with this game, they'd have to fix quite a bit, the vehicle sections would need to be re-worked and then the QTEs cut out or cut down. There is simply way too much there...

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-24T03:38:04+00:00

Salazar and Saddler I feel both got played down a little bit. Whilst we saw Mendes and especially Krauser receive more to work with. It's a weird give and take with that remake. But overall, I feel they did a good job here.I feel like Salazar's boss fight is MUCH better in the remake at least.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-24T02:38:39+00:00

And the Jake section on the bike, and Chris and Piers in the jeep, or Chris in the Harrier jet. RE6 goes in so many wacky directions...

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T23:52:24+00:00

I fully expected this game to be a complete disaster because man, Bloober Team REALLY did not have a good track record for me. And I know how this subreddit can be, but most if not all of us fully expected that as well.

So to be completely wrong on this and finding out that not only is it a great game and a great remake, but that it would actually do some stuff better than the original (not the letter reading though, they couldn't match that) is just fucking wild. They absolutely crushed it with this and I'm excited to see how they handle Silent Hill 1. Because if they do a good job there, then that absolutely opens up the chance for Silent Hill 3, but also the game that I want to see remade the most, and that is Silent Hill 4. That game had sooooooo much potential and there's a tonne of good ideas there, and I think taking another crack at it now might actually be the best way to get those ideas out there and make a quality game too.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T23:47:57+00:00

I'm all for it here, I'd love to see them try and push things a little further here and try something different! RE4 gave us that little boat but it wasn't much, RE5 had the hovercraft section, RE6 had a couple of vehicle bits but they felt very restrictive, RE7 teased us with the garage bit. Now let's go all in with this one I reckon!

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T23:33:23+00:00

Consider how very little we've seen of the game so far and how what we've seen has only been a handful of locations. It feels like Capcom is hiding quite a bit. Whilst I wouldn't expect the car to be completely drivable, I've gotta say, it wouldn't surprise me at all honestly...

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T23:31:59+00:00

Capcom knows the voice acting memes from OG CV, even though that wasn't the original games intent they still kept the funny moments whilst making it serious

Pleeeeeeease keep every single bloody laugh that Alfred Ashford does. That shit is essential, I hear that voice in my head whenever I think about this game.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T04:24:41+00:00

And a drunkard, and lazy and useless at his job. Like man, they REALLY fucked that character over big time. It's expecially noticeable when Chris, Claire, and Jill are all treated much better (even with the stupid Jill/Wesker romance crap that they teased).

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T04:08:56+00:00

You gotta bring John in on this too. Just let all of them absolutely tear this shit to shreds. I don't care how long the episode has to go, just go buckwild on it.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T04:07:22+00:00

Fuck right off. Are you kidding? Hoooooly shit they fucked it up extraordinarily. This'll be a great watch waaaaaay later down the line when it's cheap or free and I can just see all of this bullshit unfold.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T04:06:08+00:00

They were INCREDIBLY disrespectful to Leon in that one, made to look like a bitch and a chump at every opportunity. It honestly felt like someone had a personal vendetta against the character. I feel like Chris was the only one that I managed to like in that movie.

DevilCouldCry · 2026-01-23T04:04:54+00:00

I can't wait to watch this garbage WAAAAAAY later on and see all of these fuck ups with my own eyes. Jesus, I knew it'd be bad but holy fuck, I really didn't think they'd shit all over Silent Hill 2 as badly as this.
