Resident Evil: Village But With Big Booby Vampire Ladies

Gave the third person demo a run through. It’s only a very short section of the Castle so there’s plenty of time for it and repeat plays. It works really well, feels good to play. One take away is that it suddenly makes the knife a much more viable weapon as strafing around enemies is much more doable.

Look forward to trying ReVerse tomorrow.

Is the third person a free update or is it part of the paid expansion?

Part of the paid expansion.

I enjoyed the first person aspect for Biohazard (VR was brilliant) and Village. It’s a bit different.

Playing 2/3 remakes it worked great as a third person.

Got no interest in going back to Village in first person, feel like it’s not required for a game that was designed in first person

Started Shadows of Rose.

Seems ok so far, if a little rudimentary. As seems to be a perennial problem with modern Resident Evil, there is an issue with scaling. The player character doesn’t seem to fit in the environment properly, I mean maybe it’s a deliberate choice given the setting but the game feels off as a result.

Mercenaries might be the sleeper hit in this gold edition. They’ve added so much it’s basically tripled the size of this part of the game and added so much variation along with cool new locations and enemy types.

People seem to have slept on it in that main game and not realised how good it was. In this it’s absolutely belting.

Been trying third person mode today. It plays really well. I'm surprised how different it feels and how much more of the environments you see. You just get a better idea of each space. Combat feels more precise as well, though a couple of the Daughter fights in close quarters feel very out of control.

Between this, Mercenaries and Shadows of Rose, it's a great package for £15.

Cool to hear Gold adds so much! I just finished my first playthrough of the base game and loved it. Obviously a slightly different tone to 7, but as a fan of 4 I loved what they gave me.

I made a bonkers prediction that was wrong. No spoilers, just a spoiler of what doesn't happen I guess so to be safe:

Edit: meant miranda, not mia in the above box

I wouldn't say classic Resi writing. The standard in this is comfortably below the rest of the series.

I've said this a lot, but the standard of Resi writing has never really been higher than what it is in Village. :lol:

It absolutely has. 7 had some great stuff with the Bakers and 2 and 3 have grounded some of the classic plots while retaining the B movie charm.

Village's story is utter nonsense, central characters actions don't even pretend to make sense and they just dump a lore room at the end of the game to try and tie it to the series (admittedly they did the same in 7)

I think we can all agree the pinnacle of Resident Evil writing and direction is this cutscene.

Bought the Steam version off of CDKeys for around £12 if anyone’s looking for a small savings.

I'm about an hour or so into the DLC for village and so far it's.....ok? I'm really not a fan of the "It's actually all taking place in her head" setup at all though.

Mate have you seen the hoops they jumped through to try and justify the insane locations in Resident Evil 1 and 2? Half the fun of the plots in those games is that they make absolutely no sense when even the slightest bit of attention is paid to them. The whole series is utter nonsense and the more it leans into that, the better as far as I'm concerned.

Presume you’re talking about NEST. Like I was trying to get at, there’s a difference between B movie outlandish concepts and locations which can be and are enjoyable if the game treats them as part of the, and then just the entire logic of your story and world being inconsistent and making no sense even within the story you’re telling. Villages plot is like they came up with the game the locations and the enemies and then three different people were locked in different rooms and came up with their own story ideas and then they just blended all that gooseberry fool together. If it would take an infinite amount of monkeys bashing away at typewriters for an infinite amount of time to complete the entire works of Shakespeare, I think they could bash out the plot to Village in about 15 minutes.

I had fun with but I far prefer the original trilogy stuff. Treating their own world with some sincerity seems to be what Capcom is going for with the remakes and I’m here for it.

As for Shadows of Rose, strawberry float me there’s a bit which is honestly the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done in a game. Brilliant stuff.

Worse than the baby? :dread:

Yes, very much worse.

I think replaying this in third person just solidifies my view that 8 is the superior game to 7. While none of the individual areas are as strong as the Baker House in 7, they're all solid and offer something different. Returning to the Village is just class as well. So many optional areas to find and visit. The gameplay is just better too, far superior enemies and weaponry, plus the shop and treasured and upgrading just make every part of it a fun game.
