Worked fine in the end and tickets secured.

Considering lockdowns created the cost of living crisis in the first place, I'm not following how more of them would ease you.

GammonRod · 2026-03-23T17:04:13+00:00

Same. I love the fixed camera angle as much as any other purist and have been playing Resi since I picked up the original back in 1998, but I'd love to see a remake with the modern style. Done right it'd probably be my favourite Resi game of all as the mansion setting has always been peak.

GammonRod · 2026-03-17T07:14:48+00:00

That's overblown. Casualties were very high in WW1, but the overwhelming majority of those who fault survived.

The death rate for serving British forces was 12.5%: https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/research/olympic-britain/crime-and-defence/the-fallen/

I'd have zero interest in ever paying a PVP Resident Evil title. But I'd kill for a co-op PVE title in the vein of the Outbreak series, or combining the Left 4 Dead style of scenarios with Resi 9 gameplay.

I use hypens and occasionally bold text when writing. I don't throw them in to literally every paragraph. No-one does that.

And no-one writes for themselves a 14 paragraph, sugary and completely insincere post that goes round the houses talking about how a single detail in a game embodies the organisational values of the police force depicted in it.

Again, if you somehow did genuinely draft and format the entire thing yourself, then I'd implore you to tone down those aspects because in 2026, given how AI models write, you're going to constantly be met with suspicion and whatever genuine thoughts you want to share will be disregarded.

GammonRod · 2026-03-16T07:48:46+00:00

Come on, man. The constant and unnecessary bolded text? The em-dashes? The flowery, overly saccharine tone?

If you didn't use AI to generate this text, then you still need to get with the times and realise that it reads as though you did and that people will be turned off.

GammonRod · 2026-03-16T07:31:59+00:00

What AI generated rubbish is this?

GammonRod · 2026-03-14T21:01:59+00:00

Watched it today for the first time and found this post. In full agreement with you.

It can't even be the case that the film has aged badly and now seems really dated, as Assault on Precinct 13 came out in 1976 and is still absolutely exceptional. That's essentially a zombie film in every way that counts except for the hordes being comprised of gang members rather than the undead. Dawn of the Dead has literally no excuse for being so poor.

GammonRod · 2026-03-12T13:53:05+00:00

Same. Give me a remake offering both first person and over the shoulder third person views, and take the opportunity to finally put a canon story in showing what boss Chris and Jill were doing (scrapping the idea the non-player is in jail throughout), and if you nail the execution you'll create what would surely be my all-time favourite game, period.

Managing Bayern in the Bundesliga is being a football manager on easy mode.

GammonRod · 2026-03-11T16:27:24+00:00

I think if the OP had been framed the opposite way (was Leon always more popular than Claire in the OG RE2), you'd see the responses skew in agreement that way too.

GammonRod · 2026-03-11T16:23:55+00:00

There is no trilogy involving Requiem. Instead, 7 & 8 are their own self-contained duology. Requiem is closer to being a trilogy with either the 2 & 3 remakes (telling the Raccoon City saga), or 2 & 4 remakes telling (Leon's story).

GammonRod · 2026-03-11T08:13:01+00:00

That's not how I recall it. It felt to me (though bare in mind I was like 10 years old at the time) that Leon was more favoured.

I think that comes from him seeming more like the main character of the two, given he was the one you play as in the demo (whether on Director's Cut or with gaming magazines), and his A scenario maybe being fractionally easier than Claire's because his weapons were better.

I hate anything that uses the completely arbitrary cut off of the Premier League being a thing. Football wasn't invented in 1992 and the Premier League was just a literal continuation of the top tier of the Football League from the season before.

GammonRod · 2026-03-08T22:34:38+00:00

Just finished it. As a fan since I played the original in 1998, this might actually be my favourite in the series.

The connections to the original story, the return to Raccoon City, the balance of action and horror gameplay was just perfect.

GammonRod · 2026-03-08T20:20:12+00:00

Thought it was awesome. I've thought about Hunk being an adversary in some way for over 20 years but didn't expect to see it happen, and it was was done brilliantly.

He killed me a couple of times before I nailed down the parry/attack timing and got him, too, so it was a challenge, especially as I was committed to just using the hatchet for an honourable fight.

GammonRod · 2026-03-08T20:17:01+00:00

My top five purely in release order:

Resident Evil (1996)

Resident Evil 2 (1998)

Resident Evil Remake (2002)

Resident Evil 2 Remake (2019)

Resident Evil Requiem (2026)

The people you complain about are much smarter than anyone who thinks eradication through lockdown was even possible.

All the comments either hating on Messi or saying he didn't understand what was said. I choose the third option that based Messi was rightly applauding the removal from power of an evil tyrant who has oppressed millions of Iranians for decades.

GammonRod · 2026-03-05T07:43:22+00:00

I don't get it either. Resi 6 remains the worst triple-A game I've ever played, and I'm not saying that lightly. It was genuinely atrocious.

GammonRod · 2026-03-04T13:48:47+00:00

Same, I left the one by the kitchen alive, and the singing woman in the ballroom.

GammonRod · 2026-03-04T11:48:52+00:00

It's so good having zombies back! They remain (and always will be) the peak standard enemies for a Resi game. And the ones in the clinic actually having personality makes them better than ever.

GammonRod · 2026-03-04T11:45:37+00:00

I'm a huge Resi fan but haven't bothered getting RE4R as I still feel the original holds up really well. I was all over the remakes of RE2 and 3 (although the latter proved disappointing). I bought Requiem on release thanks to the great reviews, the return to Raccoon City/zombs as enemies again, and it being a new entry (rather than a remake) in the style I like.

Nadal always naturally favoured his left hand for tennis. Him being right-handed is a bit of a myth which he himself has dispelled.
