It's fucking stupid. As if the old messages of guilt, grief, and PTSD are somehow outdated concepts… That stuff was timeless. The only thing in the Silent Hill franchise that will ever become dated is this schlock they’re writing now. It’s quite literally only trying to be relevant to the current generation. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I think they didn't have to rely on stupid retcons (The Silent Hill effect?! So like everyone on Tik Tok knows Silent Hill is some freaky place that preys on your inner demons?) to maybe try to draw in a more "hip" audience Changing it to an angsty teenager (with the negative effect of social media as a theme) isn't a bad idea.

Having the teenage protagonist doesn’t bother me. It’s basically everything else about the premise that I hate. If I wanted a commentary on the most annoyingly cynical trends and happenings of modern day life, I’d boot up GTA, not Silent Hill.

And the whole "uncertain times/apprehension about the future" crap. We get it. The world sucks, the internet sucks, and everyone you meet is a suicidally depressed pussy with more mental health disorders than the President has years remaining in his lifespan. Why’s this shit gotta follow us into our freaking video games? Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I prefer Hunk staying as a mysterious side character. But maybe if they could keep his dialogue minimal, like a morally gray Master Chief, then it could work. Would probably be like FEAR but with zombies. Though they’d have to make it a spinoff set earlier in the timeline. Hunk was a seasoned vet back in 1998 so he’d probably be a straight up fossil by RE8.

Old HUNK on one last OP would be a cool story idea Though yeah, maybe set it around the RE4 timeframe and have him doing wet government work after Umbrella collapsed. Could have tie into Remake 5 as a way to promote that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If RE5 comes next, then people who have only played the new REmakes will have no idea who Wesker is, barely know who Chris is, or why they’ve got a rivalry. CV is needed to fill that gap, and to give Claire some closure like RE4 did for Leon. But to be honest, I’m with you on getting more new (not Remake) spinoffs set between RE3 and RE5. That is the most important part of the timeline and most of it got skipped over or handwaved. Personally, I’d love to see some Umbrella bigwigs using Hunk to destroy evidence of their crimes while the company is collapsing and investigations are being conducted. For Hunk it would be one last big payday from Umbrella before it’s his turn to cut and run. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Evil 1 HD (The remaster...of the remake) sold like three million copies and is widely available, so I'm sure at least a healthy portion of the people who started with the remakes went to that afterwards. I don't want to spoil Separate Ways, but in the new version Wesker has a much bigger role, so it's a pretty good introduction to be honest. That's a great idea; maybe they could introduce Spencer that way (like the mission is so important, Spencer deigns to show himself to HUNK for a briefing). Perfect chance to bring the classical variant of Zombies (which would be awesome to fight in a FPS), with Licker and Hunter variants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 It's really refreshing to have one of my favorite series have a REGULAR release cycle of almost all quality games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, 3 million is respectable for what that game is and when it came out, but it is lot less than the 10-13 million that bought the other remakes. Most haven’t played it, unfortunately. 25 minutes ago, BigBossBalrog said: I don't want to spoil Separate Ways, but in the new version Wesker has a much bigger role, so it's a pretty good introduction to be honest. That’s good, but I’m guessing he doesn’t do too much considering we never encounter him as Leon (far as I’m aware, at least). And players still won’t know what he’s got to do with Chris or Umbrella.

Most other IPs that I like might get two games in a decade if we’re lucky. Resident Evil delivers way more than that, and Capcom is big enough to do it without sacrificing quality by forcing a single team to rush them out. Except RE3R. But I think they learned their lesson from that. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
