Do you agree or not?


The only consistent complaint about it that Im hearing is that it isnt the games. They dont need to be.

also I respect the kill streak from the fat man in episode 4 too much to rate the show below the movies. This is hella enjoyable if people can get over the fact that its not the games.

Agreed. People need to understand that if a show/movie was like the games it wouldn't be very good. If it was like the games it would be a lot of walking back and fourth collecting items to solve a puzzle and reading bunch of journal entries and organizing items and making herbs

That's zombie movies tho

Also if you collected the cutscenes and greatest moments in the first RE game, giving new viewers a chance to absorb some of the environment and enemies, with decent boss footage designed to be the first and only time the viewer will see any of this........ I bet a RE1 playthrough footage would be comparable to a great movie, and not actually contain too much of what you say. Personally, id push hard for an old school anime adaptation because anything else is really wasting the characters. They're better anime than most real anime lol

In a movie, they only have to show the character getting a fraction of what you use for the game, and managing their items for example doesn't have to take more than a few seconds. For example, and this is exactly what they tend to do, is to cut out most of the puzzles and just focus on one or two really good ones. The character is injured and they limp to someone's bathroom to use a First Aid Spray. Shouldn't go too far beyond that

Mix up some herbs for an injured teammate, etc

Not the 50 or 100 or whatever it is you find in game

Same with the notes. Itchy tasty and some Umbrella propaganda with a few clues and maybe a note left by a teammate, and that's all the player needs to see

Heck, if your average aficionado doesnt remember it off the top of their head, then it probably isn't really worth showing in an adaptation in most cases

Sure, it doesn't have to be the games, you're right.

But when your marketing goes to "we're being faithful to the lore" and end up not being faithful you probably shouldn't lie to people.

They did the exact same thing with WtRC.

On top of being unfaithful to the games, it's also just not well written in general, and has boring characters. There's nothing to like.

The only reason you'd watch it is if you were familiar with Resident Evil, and then you'd stop watching because it's both nothing like Resident Evil AND not good as its own thing.

Err I think you should go back and watch some of those cutscenes again. Like even REmake has really poor dialogue and acting.

Yeah a lot of the criticism I've seen of the show is that the dialogue is bad and campy/cheesy but, like, that's exactly how the games are? Lol

Because all the high school teenage drama bits are tedious as fuck.

No.

Do I need to help you understand RE campy dialogue and why this was absolutely a design choice for REmake?

Thinking it's by design in one thing and not the one that is directly inspired by said thing is silly. I saw a clip of Lance Reddick dressed like Neo/Blade acting a fool. I'm pretty certain the show is self aware.

Ok cool

So, that being said. Aside from some really blatant joking for the sake of joking in 4, none of the other campy stuff stuck. It was just the first game that had this quality, partially because the game was so experimental and they didn't think it would turn into... This.

Can't speak for 2 or 3 cuz i didnt play them but 1, 4, 5, and 6 were all incredibly campy. Dunno if we're even talking about the same series of games at this point lmao

1 & 4 are incredibly different in terms of writing and voice acting

Don't let anyone tell you any different

1 wasn't exactly what they were going for. 4 is exactly what the developers of 4 wanted it to be.

4 is cute
1 is sad

This. I didn't mind the Milla Jovovich movies, either. They were silly and fun.

I'm 2 episodes in so far I am not going to call it bad yet, but it's leaning that way.
If it is going to call itself the same name as the series it's trying to emulate it should tie in more to that series. I have the same complaint with the World War Z movie, it's fine as a movie, but it's not anywhere close to World War Z.

This show may be okay on it's own. I'm still too early to judge. And maybe it will tie in to RE move, but so far it's meh.

The problem is that it ties itself into the game universe in such a way that tries to make the events feels canon to the plot yet pretty much side steps most of what actually happens in game. Like these teenagers in New Raccoon City and just New Raccoon City and Umbrella shouldnt even exist. Like fuck where did they even find the funding for a whole new town and labs? And really we are going back to using the T-Virus again?

man i'm starting to think the problem of this website is that its users are too old. This is such a stupid take i can't imagine it coming from someone below 60.

Yes. i'm sure puzzles and backtracking is what people want from a resident evil adaptation. Not simply following the story with characters that actually resemble who they're based off, fighting monsters we've all come to love. No no. Must be the backtracking.
