They must have changed the plot after the initial reveal, since nothing in that trailer made it in the final game (only Chris's mannekin IIRC).
And Jill had a better face and was still voiced by Patricia Ja Lee

The thing I remember most about CV was that it just felt too long. It was an okay game the first time through but I've zero desire to ever play it again. Plus Steve is just insufferable and the forced romance is just blah.

Changed. Overlapped with RE6 in some plot points (doppleganger, hero Vs hero) which possible caused the change. Some of it made purely for the trailer though. Original story was meant to delve into a secret about Jill's past.

Is there some info about the original story out there? (Maybe books, interviews, etc)
It would be interesting to know more about the plot that was planned at first for the game.

Will probably back this.
I still have a lot of fun with the RE deck building game so more stuff with that IP is right up my alley.

I believe it was a Kawata interview where some dropped ideas and plans were mentioned. I think other things mentioned were something in the distance at sea of the beach level that you could later travel to and campaign co-op which was dropped and turned into Raid mode instead.
I tried googling but cannot find it.
How will Bandai react to this KS? I thought Bandai is still producing the screenshot board game?

Nah. At least in the states they haven't been printing that game in ages.
Didn't know about that. I stopped buying after the Outbreak expansion because they keep on introducing promo cards that pissed me off because it's not available for sale online.

Yo, I'm kinda doing another playthrough of RE6's campaigns until Yakuza Kiwami comes out and why did no-one ever tell me that you can order your AI partner to actively engage the enemy with melee and Coup de Grace attacks, using the "Move" command. Great when you stunned an enemy but your combat gauge is nearly empty or you want to deal double melee damage to big enemies.

That whole game is a friggin horror story of "Why didn't I know about X and Y mechanic"
It's truly appalling that Capcom made such a unique combat loop, but didn't bother to explain it at all.

If REmake 2 is succesful, I think that 3 has a good shot for a remake (if it's not already planned)

Not really issue with money, but extracting more surplus from consumers. I mean, look at what the hell of a fuck they did with RE7. The DLC's should've been in the main game.

Hell one of them was supposed to be going by the datamining.

I wouldn't be shocked that the main idea is to remake the first 3 games from the PSX era.
It's got nothing to do with either, it's just a really stupid and pointless idea.
RE7 dlcs are very crappy and I regret my Gold purchase, they are way too expensive for what they offer, in a game with no additional modes when previous chapters had ton of stuff to unlock. I hope at least the PT-like and free dlcs will be good, but I honestly doubt about Chris campaign to be something worthy, otherwise Capcol would charge for it.

Can't really even blame capcom to a point. They absolutely needing something out this year considering the last 4 years had basically just been ports and SFV. Hopefully RE2make isn't rushed.

This is why unless it's a VR game from scratch and or they don't have the management to do both it should always take a backseat.

Yep, probably that's Capcom's plan but they have to wait and see how's REmake2 received first.

After having played 3 again for the first time in a few years, I have to say my opinion on the PS1 games has basically entirely flipped around. I used to rank them like 2 > 1 > 3, but now it's more like 1 > 3 > 2. Not sure why 3 didn't grab me when I first played it - it still gives you a bit too much ammo for the kind of game it is (why I think RE1, when played as Chris, is the best of the PS1 games) but it certainly has tighter ammo constraints than RE2, Nemesis is more interesting than Mr. X (although admittedly I almost never defeated him outside of his boss battles - at least he's not a pushover like Mr. X), the added challenge compared to RE2 is welcome, the branching paths and the variability the gunpowder system offers are more interesting than the two-scenario setup RE2 gives you - it's hard for me to think of anything RE2 does better than 3 minus presentational elements (I do like the setting and storyline of 2 more, I guess). And having played all the games plus the remake shortly after having played 7, I have to go back on my initial assessment of that game - RE7 is fantastic but it definitely isn't as good as RE1, 2, 3, or REmake. The pared-down environments and lessened emphasis on inventory management outweigh 7's much-appreciated level of challenge (on Madhouse, at least).
Replaying 5 for the first time in a few years too. Always excellent - really love how its inventory system shines in co-op.

Tried some Dead Aim and shit is legitimately creepy. The zombies remind me more of shibitos, especially that female zombie groan. Damn. I dig the interiors a lot more than Zenobia of Revelations, too.

Being unwise and starved with money back in the day, plus having never watched a previous RE movie, I saw Afterlife in theaters for the sole purpose of seeing the Wesker fight.
I had to re-evaluate my priorities that day.

Those movies... I only watched them to have a good laugh.
Since Capcom didn't like how the DLC turned out, they must still working on it.

Another great drawing
Finally got around to Rev2. I was pleasantly surprised by this game but not wowed.
The game's central feature, the partner system, isn't interesting. Stunning enemies with Moira's light and following up with a melee from Claire is fine, but it wouldn't be any different if there was only one playable character with a stun technique, or if Barry could sense enemies through walls. The two character system and their unique attributes makes more sense for co-op but I can't imagine the co-op being very compelling. In single player it is more of a nuisance than anything, especially scanning the environment for items, but the conversations between the two characters help justify it I guess.
The shooting doesn't feel satisfying, but it is serviceable. I liked the structure of the game, it felt mostly linear but with a few more open ended areas here and there. The levels themselves are pretty well designed for the most part and there are some legitimately great sections. The enemy variety was actually pretty decent, especially considering the last 2 RE games I have played are Rev1 and RE7. I played on survival mode or whatever is above normal, and it felt nicely balanced most of the time, although there was a bit too much ammo in the last chapters.
In classic RE fashion, the final final boss fight was pretty stupid but the cutscenes were a nice touch. The story and characters are OK, better than most of the rest of the series. Overall I think this was a solid entry. Huge improvement over Rev1 and I had a better time with it than RE7. Don't think I will ever replay it though. Still debating whether or not to play the side stories. I hope there is a Rev3

Just started playing REmake on the PS4 and man it's much harder than I remember. I last played it maybe 10 years ago on PC (and originally on PSX), but I don't remember it being so difficult. Had to switch from normal to easy for my first "remembering the mansion layout & puzzle solutions" playthrough.

That's normal. I did the same thing when I played REmake HD. Two or three playthroughs later I was already unlocking the Infinite RL (after beating the game in 2h10m on Normal) Replaying REmake when you know what you're doing is SO much fun.Just started playing REmake on the PS4 and man it's much harder than I remember.
