Nice part is they have so many ways to tackle it. A lot of time will have passed since 8 to 9.
Can go do a first person dual lead campaign with two scenarios for each character like RE1 or RE 2.
That's the best way to top this. Give people more time to enjoy a classic RE character like Chris, Leon, Jill etc. And then throw in the new.
Hell could even go return character plays third person, and new one is first person to appease everyone.

This game takes too long getting to the point. The gameplay is keycard hell to advance to the next section where you look for the key to the next room. I want to kill zombies. Not spend several hours going through the same rooms for a bullshit key.

Diversity analyst in his tag is all you need to know about the guy...Damn this guy is like a broken record
I hope future mainline Resident Evil games (not just side games like Revelations) give us more diverse main characters
With Resident Evil Village having recently been released, I thought it would be a good time to visit this topic since it's been on my mind for a while (& one I even brought up on Twitter). Over the course of the franchise, most of the starring characters have been white men, with Chris Redfield...www.resetera.com

I was legit scared for a moment there. Bravo.
So far, really enjoying it.
I guess being chased by something monstrous in the dark awakens a primal fear.
So far, really enjoying it.

Is there an option for tank controls as well as 1st person, 3rd person, and over-the-shoulder view (RE4's view) ????

Do they provide interesting loot if you kill them?

Finished on Standard in about 9 hours. Great game overall and definitely reminds me of RE4 a lot. I really liked how they designed everything around the village and you end up seeing every inch of it. My biggest beef is that the game really needed one more big area for the run to the end of the game instead of what we got. Another section would have been much better to get the story across and would have made the actual final fight feel grand.

Currently stuck on Moreau on Village of Nightmare. God damn he takes some punishment and his acid attack sometimes clips through cover to tag you.

Just beat it. Great game. Can't believe Greg Miller said to skip this game and has also said this has no memorable boss fights!

The in-game brightness settings are borked, you should find a tutorial online to let you know how to set it up properly in HDR
For everyone else, this one is great (SDR)
All recent re games look dark and washed out out-of-the-box, don’t know why capcom keeps doing this

I fought like 95% of all enemies I encountered. It's way more RE4 than it is RE1-3.
When [characters] are chasing you as you're exploring you don't fight, though, it won't do anything.

Nah I just played normal. I got through that castle section so quickly that there were barely any occasions I ran into the people chasing me, but yeah, just run. You'll know when you have to fight them.

Spoiler free opinion:
It was...interesting. This is the RE5 to RE7's RE4 (if you follow that). The usual RE setpieces in a very atmospheric setting, finetuned and streamlined, wrapped around a reaaaaally dumb story (Never change, Capcom writing!). Of the 2 revelations in the game only 1 was a surprise (the game acted like the other was, but we all called it from early in RE7). The voice acting was superb, the boss fights weren't bad and the exploration was fun. I'm kinda worried that RE9 will continue to push further into shooter territory (RE8 has as much shooter DNA as it does survival horror), but we'll see. I think RE8 has a nice balance between the two worlds.
I'm not sure it breaks into the top 3 RE games ever, but I guess a case could be made for top 5.

I feel they do that to avoid crushing black detail that would not be visible on SDR lcd moniors.
When You turn on HDR, black depth is great so they assume you have fald/oled display. Thei HDR calibration was good in REngine always. This game too.
Or they just don't give a shit about sdr presentation... but I don't think so. Their every game has this raised black level sdr thing

I really liked the game.
It was way more diverse than I've expected. There are parts that reminded me of Metro games, PT, God of War...one segment even looked like it is from that early RE4 beta build.
Capcom's planned worked. I will buy this again when psvr2 version is released.

Playing on PC max graphics i couldn't unsee the pop-in in the final boss battle, that whole sequence got tons of pop-ins even in some cut-scenes, it's a cross gen titles after all

Now I'm more into the meat of the game I'm really enjoying it.
Buuuuuuuuuut there are some things that are bugging me, frankly the combat is kind of terrible, you can tell the Japanese aren't experts in first shooters and they didn't really think it through to have the game play just like 7 but with much faster enemies, combat encounters are boiling down to me frantically firing in a panic and chaotically running around, throwing my hands up hoping I don't get sucker punched my some monster in incredibly cramped environments, yeah it's scary, but it's also very frustrating, especially when you miss, wasting shotgun shells in a Resident Evil game should be against the Geneva convention lmao, this is hardly the precision aiming of RE4, it's not even like RE2 Remake, it's honestly kind of bad to be brutally honest and is marring an otherwise really cool game with a lot of extremely cool stuff in it, again I can't help but feel I made a mistake picking Hardcore, maybe Normal is more balanced but it's too late to turn back now.
Maybe I'll get the hang of it and "git gud" but it could have been a lot better, the game is basically getting by on atmosphere and the atmosphere is really great, but the lack of music really bothers me, why can't we have atmospheric music anymore and why does it have to almost always be dead silence? The castle is really begging for music.
Basically this game in being so similar to the Resident Evils of old in style, is also really driving the point home how much video games have changed, I don't really get why we have to move so far away from the old formula, I don't really get why we can't have cinematic camera angles and music, it just makes me long for the old days.
I felt RE2 Remake struck the best balance between the old and the new and I don't understand why Capcom felt like they had to continue 7's style instead of let RE2 Remake set the standard for 8.
Still, part of me does feel like I'm being a sour puss and being too hard on this game because to some degree I haven't had this much fun playing a game in years, but it is a little flawed.

The game was good, but I feel like they crammed too many ideas into a single game. You don't spend that much the time in the main part of the village, the castle bit is also too short...
I liked the boss fights, the overall visuals and some of the later environments (especially the last location you visit before the finale). The ending was also satisfying.
RE8 unfortunately lacks proper horror bits, this was particularly disappointing after remembering how strong of an opening RE7 has had. Overall it was an enjoyable game, but I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
killing three daughters is done pretty quickly and avoiding Lady Dimitrescu like Mr.X takes place during short part of the story

Capcom messed up Mia hereY'all too funny
She look much better in 7, i duno this one look nice but look like a different person
But at least they fix chris
Chris in 7 is awful totally unrecognizable
I dont understand Capcom they have very poor character consistency
The only resident evil character that look pretty consistent from time to time is Leon

Followed up my initial Hardcore run with a Casual + Knives Only + Sub 3 Hour Run. Managed to do it in 2 hours and 30 minutes (and change). Pretty fun - took me back to the last time I did a knife only run in REmake. The only part that sucked was the second the last boss, because it was a good 10 minutes of nonstop slashing lol. My poor left mouse button...

Just finished. Gameplay, graphics etc are incredible. Story, writing and voice acting are beyond embarrassing at this point. Seriously, at points I was glad I was playing alone.
Solid 8/10, maybe boosted to 8.5 for the Alien Covenant homage.

Yeah she's very much a
Mr.X lite. She chases you for a very small portion in the castle, I think its after you beat 2 daughters? She also doesn't rubberband you and she doesn't react when you fire off your gun nor does she enter puzzle rooms and the such. Its almost like a little nod to Mr.X and Nemesis. She's almost harmless, though it seems you can't temporarily down her. But its never needed. The castle has much more wiggle room anyway, you can easily run around her. She did kill me though, after the scripted part when she slices your hand off. I tried to use heals and she stabbed me again.
The dread with Mr.X was that he would always fuck me over at the library, while I was moving the shelves. I didn't want to waste ammo so I ran around, tried to get rid of him etc. He would also enter the room with the storage lockers, so I couldn't open them at leisure. Such things were cool.

I will say that Lady D gave me a holy shit moment when she followed me out into the courtyard. I thought I'd be safe from her and I wasn't expecting her to just waltz outdoors like that.
I actually appreciated how the stalker-type enemies in this game aren't necessarily glued to you at all times. They wander, they do their own thing, they can be shaken off. They generate tension and better scares when they do appear as a result, and feel more like characters to be outwitted as opposed to a persistent braindead hitbox doggedly chasing you. This is how you do it.
Fuck's sake, I knew who that was going to be before I even clicked it. Dude seriously needs help.
