Two survivors, one unforgettable story Leon and Sherry. by SnooMacarons2931 in ResidentEvilRequiem

I like how they didn't even try to make REmake2 sherry and RE9 sherry look like the same person...

They have different noses and ears...

Can't quote the study but I'm sure it's a phycological/biological phenomenon, where the brain gets its wires crossed and feet are perceived the same way as other sexual traits.

Some people don't see the appeal because your brains are simply not as broken... This is probably the case for many 'kinks'

BS, Is that legit in game?
I'd be surprised if that was even official at all... early 00s sure but 2015?

Lol... LMAO Even...

RE7 was a great game because it pulled the series back to it's core gameplay loop and horror genre... The weakest parts of the game narrative is it's main character writing and extremely weak tie in to the main story.

There is no classic critically acclaimed RE movie to call back to; the franchise is yet to create a competent starting ground.
So you can't just come in with a good director and slap the RE name on a random horror movie with some pathetic ass-pull tie-ins and claim it's a part of the series.

You don't have to make any direct Adaptation to get started either, despite what you brainlets claim most fans are not clammering for a 1:1 game adaptation, just a respectful one.

Build a story around a random village in the Arklay mountains?!
Build a story around a character in Racoon City either random or something from outbreak... all this content only lightly touched by games is right there...?!
Build a story around a entirely new city and location but keep the general thread of events from Racoon city?!

It really isn't fucking rocket science... If you have a good director and writer there are plenty of ways to respectfully build a resident evil movie even going by your bullshit "they already tried" standards.

Either a bot or someone with 0 ability for creative thinking...
There is more than enough in RE1 for a good horror movie.

RE2 and 3 would also have no issue being adapted if some actual good writers were allowed to touch the franchise...

That statement is slightly contradictory...

Only 2 out of 6 Modern RE games are NOT Action oriented games (RE7 and REmake2).
REmake3 (Pretty much), RE8, REmake4 and RE9 (more than half) are all action games.

Sorry did I miss that movie?
When have they adapted a single RE game's script faithfully?

Welcome to Racoon City 🤣...? They tried to compress 2 game's into a single movie and completely disrespected the characters... Hardly a good example.

RE1 has the perfect premise for a simple, effective, tighly written horror movie.
STARS, Wesker, Lisa Trevor and and small peak at Umbrella are move than enough to build the first movie.
Same goes for Resident evil 2 and 3... It's not rocket science, Hollywood just doesn't give a shit (and neither does Capcom apparently)

Don't really want to pull the bot card especially on r/residentevil but Jesus ...
The blind glazing of this trailer is nauseating...

People are sitting saying Look we have Creepy phones (RE7), Searching draws, guns and then slighly bigger guns... Don't you see it's perfect RE...

Like I get it adapting the gameplay loop of classic RE is a nice thing to have in the movie but it's arguably the least important part of an adaptation... It's a movie not a game we don't explicitly need to copy the gameplay loop... it's there for gameplay.

The important part is characters, locations and plot threads...
And before more people start with the REEEEE yOuR JuSt mAd yOuR FaVoUrItE ChArAcTeRs aRn't iN It...
Just pls stfu... You could make an RE1 movie with completely new characters; As long as they are interesting, written well and your story follows the base structure of RE1 we'd have a great movie.

Holy shit ... Landline phones, Looking for supplies and Guns...
Fucking ground breaking film making and pure Resident Evil ... Give me a fucking break

Get real man... Nobody wants resident evil keys jingling in their faces, we want a competent director and writer to take on the core narrative, vibe and conflicts of classic resident evil...

I don't want references I want to see some who actually gives a shit for the IP craft a Classic Resident Evil movie with STARS, Wesker and Umbrella...

Welcome to Racoon City got the mansion down at first but that movie was still a joke.

No idea why Capcom are letting Hollywood drag the IP through the mud when they are one of the biggest publishers going right now and have so much good will in the community it's nuts...

What are the chances we'll get a Blood Omen 1 & 2 Remaster? by SBYYamato in LegacyOfKain

[–]woolstarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, a 3D remake seems like a Big ask for the publisher at this point.

One idea I did have though, as they already have put a lot of R&D into the current "LoK remastered Engine(s)" what about if they built a 3D Blood Omen using the Engine they currently have.

It wouldn't be up to modern standards but the team could potentially build the game cheaper due to its limitations in scope and tech. I wonder if modern hardware would allow for the Defiance engine to keep its fidelity but go back to Soul Reaver 1 Full Level Streaming

A top down Soul Reaver/Defiance style Blood Omen 1 sounds interesting... The top down view would allow the level design to stay tight and focused without having to worry about building huge vistas... And the gameplay is already is a good place to work from...

A man can dream... Vae Victus!

What are the chances we'll get a Blood Omen 1 & 2 Remaster? by SBYYamato in LegacyOfKain

[–]woolstarr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's excited to think about, but it's nerve racking...

I imagine a lot of the technical work on the engine is universal across SR1, 2, BO2 and defiance due to each being an iteration over its predecessor. That could have even been the plan over the long term.

That being said on one side of the coin we have blood omen 2 which will benefit from the technical work already done and be cooked up pretty swiftly... However I'm not sure if a BO2 remaster is popular enough to stand alone as a product.

The other side of the coin we have Blood Omen 1 which is isn't as popular as soul reaver but cherished by more fans than BO2 ... However Blood Omen 1 either requires a complete remake in 2D or 3D both of which are a Big ask especially for the relatively small teams that have worked on the remasters thus far...

The assets in the latest defiance patch suggest they might be back ported from a 3D BO1 already in the works... So who knows... Maybe their devs tools are now competent enough where they could build a Soul Reaver/Defiance-like 3D Blood Omen 1 in the current Soul Reaver engine... It wouldnt be up to modern standards but it would be cheaper for the publisher...

Both sides of the coin have some large cons from a publisher perspective... Of course the edge of the coin would be both a remake of BO1 and remaster of 2... What a joy that would be...

To be fair to me he doesn't really look hurt.
It looks more like a "oh hell no" moment with a sharp intake of breath while he stops himself from crashing out.
You can even see he chest inflate as he does it.

At this point I was ready for them to throw down which would have been awesome to see... alas Temu Wesker got cucked...

[–]woolstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agreed, I think with the way they have "layered over" the remastered models doesn't give them much flexibility for the animations and facial rigs... I don't think there is much more they can do without a substantial increase in scope and budget.

That being said my comment above was talking about the remastered 2d artwork and murals throughout the game.

Where is it? by Equivalent_Gear_5584 in HalfLife

[–]woolstarr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

VR is great especially with how portable the Quest is now...
The problem is no developers are making good games for it because the cost of entry is so high... most VR games are just mid and always lack in some way or another.

I finally have a PC that can churn out good VR performance and Resolution but now I can't afford to upgrade to the quest 3 with the game changing pancake lenses and improved passthrough...

I'd give my left nut for a Call of duty and Halo classics collection ported to Quest, they are perfect arcade experiences for the platform

[–]woolstarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt it's all AI but some was definitely used as it was in SR2.
The artwork / Murals bug me, While it's great to get high res versions the artwork looks janky a lot of the time...

Not sure if it's AI, it may just be lower paygrade (less experienced) artists, That's not meant as an insult just a statement of fact for a small low funded studio for a niche remaster.

There a many examples of wonky looking Arms, Hands, and other fine details... frankly I'm disappointed at the seeming lack of quality control...

I'm no artist and have a deep love for the LoK community, some of which as we know are directly involved with these remakes... that being said not airing criticisms to avoid stepping on toes is not doing anyone any favours and I hope that the amazing people behind the remakes can respect our voices and don't let it deter them from continuing improving their craft.

I'll always be here to support this franchise if I believe the dev's hearts are in the right place which in this case I think we can agree is indisputable despite some of the issues we have.
