And their more modern appearances look even less the part. They’re very much your typical fair-skinned, blue-eyed, brunettes. I think Shiva is the better cancel shield for RE5. But jokes aside, if there is one thing I’d most like to see from that game’s remake, it’ll be for her character to get expanded on. REmake 4 already did a ton for Louis and Ashley, so my hopes are pretty high. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 @BigBossBalrog If you could get a remake of any of the spinoffs, which would you choose? Can be anything, even the arcade games. But it’ll be done in the style of REmakes 2-4. For me it’s Code Veronica, since it’s basically a direct sequel to 2. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capcom made a series of Resident Evil light gun games in the vein of House of the Dead, but made them fun, and added really important Lore scenarios. One of those was Operation Javier. It's such an important event, they kept it for Remake 4 and is frequently mentioned. It was the operation that broke Leon and Krauser's partnership and sent the later down the path of evil. It'd be super cool to see it remade as a proper DLC scenraio in the Remake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they done with DLC for RE4? If not, I’d love to see this as one. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gameplay in RE4 is so freaking good that it would almost be a shame to move on from it after just one DLC. The more the merrier, I say.

The Good Doctor Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 @BigBossBalrog I know you’ve been busy with the move, but have you knocked out any more horror movies or games this October? Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few All the movies (mainly using shudder) have coalesced together, but the man ones I've been enjoying have been Criterion's selection of Pre-Hayes Code horror; most by Universal starring Boris Karloff and Bella Lugosi. (There's some really creepy gems like "The Old Dark House" and "The Black Cat) I got the 4k Remaster of the original Dracula and it came with the famous Spanish version, so I also watch both of those. Watched the new season of Creepshow too. In terms of games, this month I've played REmake 1, REmake 2, REmake 3, Castlevania, Castlevania Curse of Darkness, FEAR, and some DMC. Playing Dead Space Remake right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Well you’ve got me beat. I’ve been planning for days to get with some friends and watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but haven’t made the time. I did convince my brother to get a Shudder account and will probably renew mine to catch some of that B movie cheese while it’s still in season. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70's remake is fucking great (the og too) There's alot of really twisted body horror that's comparable to the Thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was the main inspiration for the Falmer in Skyrim I'd highly recommend something by the same director; Dog Soldiers. It's about a Special Operation team of British soldiers getting lost in the woods...and being hunted by fucking Werewolves (Davos and Lucius Vorenus) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird because they’re like right there beside vampires and zombies as the go-to classic monsters. You’d think they’d be done more often. Which does remind me, I also watched the early 2000s Van Helsing. Which is just an amazingly fun movie. I love that brief era of dark action "horror". 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that as a kid...a little bit less when I watched it later, but it's still a pulpy good time, even if it's in a dumb fun. A ton of good spectacle, which is ultimately all that matters. It's a good monster mash film. I think it might be the nature of Werewolves being a bit more in depth as monsters. With Zombies you can just have ghouls rising from there graves to eat brains. Vampires, a little moreso, but ultimately, you can just have the bloodsucker aspect with there allgericness to sunlight. Werewolves have there moon-cycle transformation shit. You have to incorporate that, how the person got bite, and then a transformation from a person to a wolf-beast. The very nature of a Werewolf compared to the others also means there usually alot more expensive Even if you go with the classical "wolf-man" rather then the (muchhhhhh cooler) full on lycantrope, the furry makeup is alot more indepth then a Zombies and Vampires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s badass… and hilarious. Dracula and his brides make me laugh in almost every scene they appear. One of the best is when a bride is like "have you no heart?" and Dracula looks almost offended by the question and screams "NO!" And Van Helsing having a fully automatic crossbow like some sort of max level video game protagonist is just too great. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Werewolves also have a sort of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" thing going on, except more animalistic. Having them spend most of their time as a normal human who feels remorse and cannot help what he becomes just adds a fun extra layer for storytelling.

That was pretty much the entire plot of the original "The Wolfman" (and is my lowkey favorite of the original cycle) Infact the original screenplay was going to make it ambiguous if the Werewolf was real, or just part of the protagonists psychosis...until an exec at Universal veto'd and said they had to have an actual Wolfman (which suits me fine 2 minutes ago, The Good Doctor said: I’ve never seen it. Is it even really capeshit? By technicality. Werewolf By Night as a comic series leaned into the horror aspect. Instead of super heroes, the stars are a Werewolf and a group of blood-crazy monster Hunters I'd highly recommend it, it's only fifty minutes too.

I would, but that would require getting Disney+ again. Maybe when season 2 of Andor comes out so I can get a little extra bang for my buck. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 I think Bloodborne might have put such an emphasis on Werewolf enemies because of how neglected compared to the other big monsters were And then they threw in every possibly horror archetype in for good measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
