Obvious A/B scenario criticisms aside, I think 2R has a serious exposition problem: It’s almost like the writers expected people to’ve already played OG2, because some major plot points are just… not explained. They literally never say the T-Virus caused the outbreak, so I
I swear it feels like people who complain that RE3R “completely bastardized Jill’s personality” have forgotten how she was written in RE3: Nemesis and RE1R.
She was just as initially harsh to the UBCS in the OG, she did occasionally lose her cool, and yes (gasp!) she did swear.
So, the Spencer Mansion’s been effectively abandoned for around two months, right? So who’s keeping all these candles lit? Does Lisa just shamble around with a lighter? Did Umbrella develop their own proprietary brand of super-realistic LED candles?? I need to KNOW-

I think RE2 ‘98 generally tells the story better than its remake, but one moment I dislike is when Leon gets weirdly hostile toward Ben.
Dude hasn’t even SAID anything yet, so it feels out-of-character for Leon to already be snarling “GET up! NOW!!”
A neat detail in RE3 is there’s a set of bloody footprints going through multiple rooms in the Hospital, starting from the lobby and ending at a slumped corpse in the doctors’ station. It’s such a cool bit of environmental storytelling that took years for me to notice!
#REBHfun
I don’t think there’s any lore confirming/disproving this, but my theory is that Nemesis ceases to be obedient to Umbrella after Jill destroys Nemesis’ limiter and he starts mutating.
He’s no longer stalking Jill just because he’s following orders: He PERSONALLY wants her dead.
One neat detail in RE3: Nemesis is this shattered vial outside the sickrooms, with spilled contents the exact same colors as the vaccine that Carlos retrieves - seeming to imply that the staff were actually THIS close to curing patients before the hospital fell.

Fun fact: In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, you can find two VERY tiny red herbs to the right of the doorway in the Press Office. You can’t interact with them, but they sure are there… for some reason.

My guy… Moses Ingram shared some of the racist messages she’s received on Instagram. There’s nothing “orchestrated” about this, there really are just “fans” who are huge racist assholes. If you think this is fake and hasn’t been going on for years, you haven’t been looking.
wouldn’t blame newcomers for thinking the G-Virus was responsible for everything in the city. Heck, I STILL don’t know at what point Sherry was supposed to’ve been implanted.
We also needed more files from civilian POVs, and I hate how Irons’ horrific backstory was omitted.
This.. frustrates me. While we SHOULD address the racially insensitive aspects of RE5’s presentation, I feel like this article does more harm than good by completely misunderstanding 5’s basic premise.
It’s an ANTI-colonialist narrative; the African citizens are the VICTIMS.

I don’t know which interpretation is funnier: That Malcolm Tucker only knows about Star Wars through the LEGO games, or that LEGO Star Wars is the only piece of Star Wars media in The Thick of It’s universe

Setting aside the fact that this is literally eugenics, it’s hilarious that Elon’s talking about “genetic superiority” when his own face is so fishlike that he’s probably the only white man who’d scare HP Lovecraft

I think it was SchaffrillasProductions who suggested he could be voiced in the future by Bob Odenkirk instead, and I could get behind that.
Someone suggested I include a before-and-after image to show the changes the mod makes, so here you go!
(It also showcases how amazing the base SHDP mod is, and why you should install it too ASAP)
And it’s finally up! This is my first time making a mod/addon, so if you folks have any suggestions for improvement, I’d be happy to hear them! Hope you enjoy!

I usually don’t try to judge other people’s opinions, but whenever I see people saying that RE3 was just a side game to RE2 and reused half of its assets… I’m sorry, did we play the same game?
@acrossthestrs
I like to think that when Anakin came to her in ghost form to apologize and she told him to get fucked, he just shrugged, said “Fair enough” and vanished.
While I love the RE1 remake, and I think that its environments are otherwise a massive improvement over the original’s… I’ll be honest, I don’t like how desaturated everything is. Sure, make it dark and worn, but I think a game can be colorful and still be scary!

I’ve actually been cutting my teeth on modding with LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and I think it’d be perfectly doable to create custom RE characters that’re playable in that game.
@ArklayMountains
Third-person, no question. Ironically it makes me more immersed, because I can see how my character physically reacts to everything. I feel like RE7 being exclusively first-person was part of why I couldn’t get into that game, and I’m glad RE8 added third-person as an option.
Resident Evil has plenty of merch, and there are rumors the Capcom offices have some squirreled away somewhere...

Ok, so I’m curious: What are you guys’ favorite Resident Evil locations?
For an extra challenge, what are your favorite locations that AREN’T the Spencer Mansion or RPD?
You can choose more than one!

If Alexia Ashford had actually researched ants, she’d know that this isn’t REMOTELY how ants function, and the queens have no real authority or command in their colony. Alexia is a clown who FAILS at science

Have you read about Project 2025? Trump promising to make life even worse for trans people? Literally dismantling the government and reshaping it in the far-right’s image? Writing off Trump’s fascism as just “mean words” is part of how he got into power in the first place.
This scene in RE4R is everything to me. It feels so heartfelt and earnest, and you get to see Leon’s compassion on full display. I was dying for a sincere moment like this in the original RE4, and I will forever be thankful for what the remake did with its story and characters.

How very interesting that you seem to think “virtue signaling” is worse than a guy who regularly amplifies white supremacist conspiracy theories and hate speech.
The decal for this disk is strange; none of the zombie models used are from REmake, and that’s CERTAINLY not the Spencer Mansion back there. Very odd design choice.
While I think that Carlos Oliveira was improved overall by RE3R, part of me does miss the vulnerability he had in the original. I liked seeing this young merc struggle with a traumatic situation he was entirely unprepared for, but rise to the occasion to help Jill.

Quite frankly, I’d happily wait 3 years before another Resident Evil thing. I feel like this series needs to pace itself more, and not feel like it needs to pump something out every single year.
I think most fans can agree that Resident Evil’s never had a villain as iconic or impactful as Wesker, but I think that’s only because no other villain’s gotten the chance. IMO, instead of resurrecting Wesker, Capcom should instead have a new villain become the next big bad.
Since I noticed there are no good images online of the “Sweeper” Hunters from Code Veronica, I decided to upload a few screenshots of one from Gun Survivor 2, for anyone who might need quick refs for them. Love these neon lil shits

Currently trying to recreate Jill’s REmake STARS uniform in RE3. Still need to get the harness straps aligned, but I’m glad I finally got the colors sorted out.

I think it’s tragic how Obi-Wan was basically like Anakin’s older brother, but when their father figure died, he was thrown into a parental role he wasn’t ready for. I think it’s telling that a lot of the friction between them dissipated when Anakin was Knighted and they were

R2-D2 - Especially since George Lucas said he’s basically the narrator of the entire saga. Plus I like the idea that the only character who can break the fourth wall can’t be understood
@QuiGonJenna
I will never not hate this decision, because it feels so petty and mean-spirited. Plenty of people far better and worse than Jar Jar abetted Sidious’ rise to power, so why was he the only one to become a subject of scorn and ridicule?
I love Nemesis’ final form in the original RE3N because it’s far more coherent than the usual tentacled blob: All that’s left of Nemesis is the engorged NE-Alpha parasite, forcing its tentacles and mouthparts through the headless and amputated Tyrant torso.

From what little I knew of Kamiya beforehand, he’d always struck me as kind of petty and childish. But I’d always assumed that it was just an eccentric persona he assumed on social media. Turns out the jerk act wasn’t an act at all.
@CapcomUSA_
This is a TERRIBLE idea, and I urge you to reconsider. There are countless mods fixing glitches in your games that’ve never been officially patched, like in REmaster and RE5! I hate the sleazy mods as much as you, but this is NOT the way.
Me: “Oh sweet, a Twitter user who likes the classic Resident Evil games! Let’s see what they have to say about the series…”
*sees that they spend most of their time shitting on the modern RE games and being an asshole to any fans who like them*

One of the main themes of Resident Evil as a series is that it’s NOT the residents who are evil: It’s greedy and powerful people and organizations who exploit and dehumanize innocents in the pursuit of power. Chris LITERALLY criticizes capitalism in the first 5 minutes of RE5.
