    Resident Evil: Damnation (New Thread)

    We are witnessing the backdrop events from this film happen, right before our very eyes, in real life. xD

    What are you thinking? General Gaming Edition!

    Now is kind of a bad time to be a console gamer. The games they are currently releasing are just way too graphically demanding for current console hardware. PS5 Pro is the most powerful console currently on the market and performs 45%~ better than the base PS5, which is good and all but...

    Silent Hill revival announcement

    Updated: Initial sales were strong but appear to have slowed down a bit (finally hit 2 million a short while ago). I mean come on, if they want to compete with RE, you would think that they would not succumb to the allures of exclusivity nonsense (Capcom has long since dropped any notions of...

    Capcom could have taken this approach with the remake

    That's a Mikami thing. He has this weird fetish with 19th century wealth hierarchy and themes. I mean look at the original Spencer Mansion from Biohazard 1! It has 19th century written all over it. The Evil Within also has 19th century themes of wealth hierarchy (Ruvik and sister come from a...

    Capcom could have taken this approach with the remake

    I actually wish they re-imagined it more! I really loved the gameplay improvements like stealth kills and multiple ways using the environment to dispatch enemies. The addition of locked drawers and small keys as a throwback to RE of yore was also nice. I feel like they listened to exactly...

    The mysterious silence

    Best case scenario: we get a teaser trailer in the spring and more in depth coverage in the summer probably at E3. Really not much else to say because we don't know much else. Nakanishi doesn't have the best track record for quality (he directed Revelations 1 and RE7, both left a lot to be...

    What's everybody playing?

    Not a mention of RE9 (or any RE content) at Game Awards 2024. We got a looooong ways to go. Dusk Golem trying to save face after being mostly wrong on his predictions this year. Looks like I will not be gaming for a while, but the good news from this crisis is that this hopefully means they...

    Bye bye Assad! Boy that was unexpected, I thought that guy was bulletproof! Huge blow to the Russia-China axis, but are these people any better?

    Control Issues with RE4 and RE0 HD Remaster

    Capcom can be criticized for shoddy ports (See Revelations, RE4 classic and RE5 PC for reference). Personally though, I have played RE1R remaster and RE0 remaster just fine with modern controllers but this was on Steam. Your issue could be a reflection of Capcom's faulty porting or it be faulty...

    What's everybody playing?

    Taking a break from gaming, and honestly probably won't play anything until RE9, which should coincide with the release of iPhone 17 Pro Max and will enter unchartered waters and try a brand new RE game on mobile. Trump's incoming tariffs on Chinese goods means that I am forced to switch to...

    What are you thinking? (Part 2)

    Work sucks. I have discovered that I do not conform to the sexist agenda where woman dominate all positions of power and homosexuals are given special treatment. This is a popular viewpoint in northeastern United States and the West Coast. I simply prefer an equal, more rational playing field...

    Alan Wake 2

    It is a great game but it is hamstrung by mechanical issues. Also, https://gameranx.com/updates/id/515494/article/alan-wake-2-is-not-profitable-yet-but-it-just-about-broke-even-by-the-end-of-september/ Concerning.

    Silent Hill revival announcement

    1 million copies sold already. Looks like early reports were wrong and people with a funky agenda were spreading false /warped information. Congratulations Boober Team! I predicted they could pull it off based on empirical data and am glad I was proven right! (Usually I am proven wrong...

    What Do You Think About Silent Hill?

    Resident Evil was never about action until RE4. It was always about suspense and preparation. RE4 was about suspense and action. Silent Hill has NEVER been about action so they have been fairly consistent at least. However failure to adapt like RE did ensured the series was never very...

    What's everybody playing?

    'Alan Wake' 1 did have pretty shallow gameplay and just couldn't really into it, despite the horror tropes. After 'Control' I thought Remedy made great progress on game mechanics and hoped they could apply them to 'Alan Wake' 2 but from what I am hearing that's apparently not the case. I am...
