Dusk Golem: Resident Evil 8 is Darkest and Most Gruesome Resident Evil Game!
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
I'm replaying 7 right now and it's pretty dark and gruesome, but still has a bit of an enjoyable silly horror movie edge that I enjoy.
If they're going to go more into psychological territory that breaks down a lot of walls with what they can do as the enemies don't have to "exist" per se. I know zombies and other creatures already don't exist but you can do stuff that is more abstract and grotesque.
Their Gore in RE2 was insane, what they're going to achieve with next gen will probably be disgustingly awesome.
Yeah I think the tone of 7 was just perfect and hope they can keep exploring that. First person and dark tone makes me excited.
I'm usually a bit scared when it comes to horror movies, but I can handle the RE games just fine for the most part. RE8 is gonna push it, isn't it.
Outside the Chris redesign bit, this is so vague it could mean a lot of things, but cool. I look forward to the game
Also, for the love of god, get Roger Craig Smith back as Chris. RE3R was unionized, so there shouldn't be any issues if RE8 follows suit.
Eh... for what it's worth, Dead Space's designs kinda… I don't want to say were goofy, because they weren't. THey were kickass designs, but aside from some rare exeptions, I kinda think they were too "album cover". GIANT CLAWARM RAZORCORPSES were too badass to be frightening, sorta. There were very few enemies that disturbed me.
Like... there were the wall guardians. Um the things in Hydroponics that were just stationary, with the giant lungs that did nothing except breathe? Those were creepy. And the kids in 2, the pack(?), because I had real young nephews when I played through DS, and some of the sounds they made, the shrill shrieky cry they had. Aside from that, Dead Space's menagerie was sorta two edgelord to be scary.
It was originally slated for Sony's E3 conference but that's out the window!
Yeah, rumors are it's first person. Basically a direct sequel to RE7, story and mechanic wise
hmm thinking about it, yeah, they sure had album cover in mind HAHAHA thats like the best definition.
i agree with you there.
RE2 had tons of camp, especially in Leon's story. I'd argue RE2make is probably the strongest balance in the series of genuinely engaging characters and writing, disturbing and creepy set pieces/atmosphere, and campy situations/cut-scenes for the characters to respond to. The only modern RE game that was as engaging the story/characters/camp/horror department is Revelations 2, which is way campier than RE2make (and has a more satisfying story/ending) but also isn't nearly as atmospheric.
I find stuff like Maguerite's boss fight in 7 or Alex Wesker's boss fight in Rev 2 to be far more scary than "throw a bunch of weird tentacle and tumors on something". Like, still human shape but grotesquely distorted in some way tends to get under my skin a lot more than straight up monsters. So hopefully a lot of things like that.
I swear DG said something about Sony having scheduled for a reveal for E3 or whatever their alternative plans for E3 were. Maybe I'm misremembering.
