You can read right?
I said RE8 is basically a "modern" version of RE4....RE8 follows the same formula as RE4.....its more action oriented but nothing like RE5 or RE6. The game literally starts out in a village and involves a situation on par with RE4 village/chainsaw attack scene.
RE6 sucked balls...and RE7 and RE8 are significantly better than that game.

Wait, are you saying it actually plays like RE4?Why? When RE6 was an improvement in every way?
Since RE6 used more modern action mechanics, dumped the tank controls, refined and polished?
RE6 had terrible controls too, just in a different way.
I remember playing Chris' segment, which was basically a shitty dollar store Gears of War knockoff, and the controls for taking cover were comically convoluted. Like had to press 3 buttons at once to take cover. It was extremely unintuitive.
RE8 was awesome though. Maybe my game of the year so far, really enjoyed it.
The only one I completed was Chris', then I started Leon's and yeah, the beginning area was fine, then once you got out on the street it all went to shit and I stopped playing and never tried again.
I remember after RE6 a lot of people thought the RE franchise might be done, because it was such a disaster. Sold well but but very few people enjoyed it. It's impressive how they've been able to turn things around with that franchise. RE7 and 8 have both been excellent.

The RE3make was an even worse blunder though, which I'll never live down with how much it bastardized the original.

I remember people talking good things about Revelations....so I played it and it has the same problems as RE6!I'm glad the route they took with RE7 and 8.....I wonder if personal drastically changed.....
Revelations 2 was a step down however. It eventually got more action packed and became more of the same from what we had before. Had some moments but was forgettable compared to the first one.
p.s. Didn't know RE8 was a Playstation exclusive.

He was making a joke. I never understood that: putting multiplatform games under categories for specific systems. Winning best game on PlayStation? Doesn't that make it best game on Xbox too then? Awards should ever only put exclusives on those.
Third person RE8 bois, hell ya! I hope this means they ditch first person in the future and recognize people prefer 3rd.

Hate to be the bringer of bad news but if the RE4 Remake is supporting PSVR, first person may be as optional there as third person is now here.
I may actually kick this around now. I've told myself to hold off til they at least announce the inevitable complete edition to start considering Village.

😂
Should have been 3rd person to begin with. I play enough other 1st person series as it is, but Resident Evil is rooted in 3rd person. Is telling that people are only now considering Village because of this, while RE7 they just watched a longplay of on youtube. Am all for experimenting, but the change to 1st person just didnt work for many people.

First person can be more immersive and scary if done well over third person. I don't think anyone would argue that Condemned: Criminal Origins for example would be superior in third person.
That being said, RE engine renders some amazingly awesome third person perspective, and I appreciate looking at a character model interact with the game world. And RE has a longer history of being third person, so it's a return to form. RE8's mercs mode had the failing of being both one character and first person, and as a result it's the only Mercs or Battle mode I haven't played to death since RE3/RE2 Saturn.

With me particularly, I'm kind of a 3rd person purist for RE since I don't normally play as many 3rd person shooters as I do 1st person. Sue me.
