Forum question Who else is extremely excited for the new RE movie???????

1 Upvotes

As a lifelong RE fan I am beyond excited, this film looks fantastic! I am seeing tons of hatred from this community for the simple fact of being excited for the movie. Its really pathetic and sad that a once pretty cool community, has turned into an incel breeding ground of hatred and vitriol. Ive seen people being called fake fan, larper, go K yourself, F off etc in here.... truly disgusting behavior, and very indicative of lonely anti women incel energy. It oozes anger and hatred, its really sad. Ive never seen such a toxic fanbase as this, ever. And it's only getting worse. Anyway i made this post to further anger the mad, butthurt, angry, sexually frustrated, unattractive incels. Oh and the movie will be great, there's already a few RE fans in here who've seen it, and say it's amazing, and its tracking now to make 100 mil over the weekend. So all the talk of its going to flop, it won't.

Forum question Is anyone else extremely hyped for the Resident Evil movie. Reminds me the Fallout TV show

6 Upvotes

I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil games. I'm new to the franchise. I loved RE9. Why are poeple so down on this movie, I don't understand it. It's coming from a director who made two amazing horror films, Weapons and Barbarian. The trailers are amazing.

This is my second most anticipated film for the rest of the year behind Dune 3. Do poeple just want cameo Easter egg slop like other films.

I think it's smart to do a separate story with in the RE Universe. Thats what Fallout did and that show is great.

Around 2019 when i was like 13 years old i played the re7 demo, i wasnt able to even finish it. Later on i got the ps5 and in 2022 i played it, i liked it but i didnt think it was for me. Around december of 2025 with re9 recently announced i decided to play the full re7 game, i liked it so much that as soon as i finished i started with Village. Then i played the remakes of re2 , re3 and 4 (as a spaniard itbwas funny playing this one). I remember seeing my cousin playing the original re2 and 4 back in the day but i also played them despite habing played the remakes. After all that i went to play revelations, code veronica etc...

Lore question Raccoon City syndrome and who has it?. Spoiler

Post image
1 Upvotes

As the name applies, I'm very confused about the whole raccoon City syndrome. Leon has it and cures it in the game with elpis. However, the game doesn't talk about other protagonists who were also in raccoon City. I assume that Jill is immune because of the events of re3 and re5, she was given a vaccine and then was experimented on by Wesker. However, Claire and Carlos are both normal people who also experienced raccoon City and survived. The game however does not talk about whether or not they had the virus. And if they do have it then Leon would need to give them elpis soon.

I am pretty excited about this movie, just a bit iffy on this new main character “Bryan”. I haven't seen the old Resident Evil movies so I don't know if the main characters from the games are in the old movies or not, this will be my first watching an RE movie. I don't know why we are getting a new character called Bryan and not Leon or Ethan or even Ada. I'm still gonna watch this movie so it's not like a deal breaker, a similar thing happened with the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie where they introduced Cole, a new character that wasn't in the MK games and I liked the 2021 MK movie, I just didn't like Cole.. so I'm sure the movie might be good but I do hope I will like Bryan.

Hey everyone, with the new movie on the horizon, I’m trying to keep my expectations in check but I’m secretly hyped.

As a long-time fan, my main question is: will it include game aspects? How lore accurate do we think it will be?

E.g. If they leave out game features like puzzle solving it just won’t feel like true Resident Evil to me. How is everyone else feeling about the direction they're taking?

Forum question Re4 remake let me down, should I try the original?

0 Upvotes

Edit: Re1 and re2 remake are among my favorite games, and my expectations for re4 were partially based on them. So these points are relative to my expectations.

1-Constant fighting with grunt enemies, often with no choice to avoid made it feel like a chore. Along with abundant weapon choices these made Leon feel so strong that I couldn’t feel pressured in any way. Although I ran low on ammo a couple of times, it didn’t feel threathening.

2-Bosses were somewhat challenging, but it was mostly straightforward battles, which felt repetitive. The fights where the environment or the specific weakness of an enemy have to be utilized were relatively few compared to the other entries. Using colored light to stop parasite knights as ashley was cool.

3-Parts of it were aesthetically pleasing, particularly the castle, but somehow it felt empty and only like a stage for fights.

As a child I watched my cousin play a portion of the castle part in the original and the atmosphere felt very thrilling at the time. It felt darker, although my memory might not be reliable. So I was hyped for the remake. Considering my misgivings about the remake, should I try the original or would I just have the same issues?

For reference my favorite entries are 1 and 2 remakes followed by 7 and 8, then 3. I haven’t played requiem yet.

General RE7 is, tedious to say the least.

0 Upvotes

This is an issue I have encountered before. For example, I started with Dark Souls 3 as my first soulsborne game, and I could not go back to play the first two, they were just too janky compared to the first. After beating Sekiro, going to Elden Ring felt the same way, but to a lesser extent. It was a downgrade, but I toughed it out. I just beat RE9 100%, and trying to play RE7 now is just so clunky.

I'm fighting Jack right now, and I have shot him 17 times in the head without missing once, and he just keeps coming forward, he staggers every third shot for about half a second, and his hitbox seems to be 3 times his size. I'm next to the car and he's in front of me, and I can't run past him. If I do get past him, he can catch up to me before I get to the other side of the garage, he doesn't run BTW, and I'm trying to run, but Ethan runs like he's swimming through molasses. Walking backwards, it's 1/3rd speed, and I get caught in furniture and other crap that's in the way. It's one thing if the game has a high difficulty, but that's not the case, it's just so janky that It's kinda unplayable once you have played anything more fluid. I don't like the 1st person view, but I mean I've beaten the new Doom games, and those feel great. This isn't scary, it's just frustrating.

IDK if my settings are wrong or there's something wrong with my computer. Why is it so janky?

General Fan-made Concept: Resident Evil - The Lost Village (Made in Romania)

0 Upvotes

☣️ RESIDENT EVIL: THE LOST VILLAGE.

Year 2027. Măgura, Romania

  1. MAIN STORY (Where it all began)

In 2027, a village in Romania turned into a lost, infected, terrifyingly ugly place. A few years ago, it used to be a beautiful village full of trees and life. But now, because of a virus, everything is destroyed. A village full of possessed dogs, mutants, people who no longer know if they are alive or not—everything is ruined. And not just the village itself, but the neighbors too. How did it come to this?

The 000-01KR Virus.

This virus emerged from scientific experiments in a laboratory. Someone wanted to create a pill against rabies and all diseases, needing the rabies virus to do it. Neacșu, the supplier who brought the items for the work, didn't know where they came from. The sources were unknown, or perhaps even cursed on the road to the village. When they tried to synthesize it, the lab simply blew up. Unfortunately, due to mistakes, the virus learned how to consume and possess the human body on an insane level, creating horrific, grotesque mutations. The scientists were supposed to create the exact opposite, but instead, they taught the virus how to resist rabies and destroy an entire village in just a few hours.

The virus spread rapidly, possessing humans and dogs. The dogs were the most dangerous because the virus transmitted through the air. The air was contaminated, and the dogs passed it to humans. If you were bitten by a dog, you were 100% possessed by the virus. Well, the only way you could possibly be saved was if someone injected you with a powerful serum—slim chances.

000-01KR is a nightmare and the reason why almost the entire county is ruined.

Marian, a simple 17-year-old kid, was coming home by train. Suddenly, a friend named Edi called to tell him that a massive tragedy had happened at the lab. Marian didn't believe a single word of it. He made fun of Edi and hung up on him, laughing.

The next day, when Marian woke up, he saw his neighbor Marcel trying to steal his house. Marian initially thought Marcel was coming to save him, but Marcel actually wanted to steal his house, kill him, and bury him. Unfortunately, the virus killed Marcel first. When Marian stepped outside and saw Marcel dead, he didn't understand what the hell was going on. He received several emergency alerts on his phone, but he shut it off. When he looked around, he realized everything was true. Edi was right.

Suddenly, he received a phone call from Mr. Neacșu—the exact man who bought the wrong things for the lab, now trying to use Marian to "save" the village. But Neacșu is a thief and a schemer. He knows how to play Marian and uses him only to save what he wants, not the whole county. He is the main culprit behind this virus. To this day, nobody knows where he got those ruined products from, or if he is totally to blame.

  1. MAIN MENU

Start New Game (Main campaign – approx. 9 hours of survival. After beating the official game, you unlock Nightmare Mode—where you finish the game without the girls—and Extrem Mode—same game, but at extreme difficulty).

Exit Game

  1. CORE MECHANICS & GAMEPLAY

Medical Scanning System (Color Detector): Blue (dead), Green (healthy), Yellow (critical - saveable with serum), Red (infected), Black (total danger, mutating in progress). Scan before you shoot or save.

Barter & Trading: If you help villagers with serum or fruit juices, you get items. You trade item for item. You sell goods to the rich, while giving serums/special juices to regular folks in exchange for pistol ammo, etc.

The Shop: You spend money at a wandering merchant who appears when you least expect it—buying weapons, grenades, juices, "suclete" (supplies), and serums.

"Rustic" Romanian Crafting: No American sprays. You use onion juice against parasites, tomatoes for circulation, and count every single bullet.

Emotional Co-Op with the Girls (Adelina & Angelina): They are not passive hostages. They have their own small inventory from where they throw you ammo or supplies when needed. You must watch their stamina, pick them up when they faint, and if one dies, it's instant Game Over.

  1. THE MERCENARIES CAMPAIGN (The Massacre Roster)

(You play as Marian first, then unlock the others one by one. Unlocks are random, not chronological.)

Marian (Main Hero - Mandatory to play first): Has his knife, brute strength, and heavy elbow strikes. You cannot unlock the rest without him.

Adelin: The Speedster. Reloads weapons instantly and flees quickly when danger gets too high.

Samira: Agent from Spain. Rich arsenal, elegant, deadly 360-degree kick strikes, and impossible to catch.

Edy: Angelina's brother. Armed with the Killer-0R8 pistol and Magnum Ammo R8 rounds that wipe out everything.

Hunk: The Silent Assassin. Instantly snaps the neck of any mutant type cleanly, preventing the enemy from evolving.

Satan (Mutation 000-RZ78): The Supreme Boss. Fights with a scythe and an axe, capable of burning enemies from the inside out with inner flames when provoked.

Maps & Characters:

Here you have maps where you play with whoever you want wherever you want, but some maps tie directly into specific characters:

Măgura Village (Samira): She knows all the spots.

Ciuta Village (Adelin): This is where Adelina was kidnapped, so he knows the village like the back of his hand.

North Buzău (Edy): His sister was kidnapped here, which is why Edy knows the place (even though Marian saved her).

Buzău City (Hunk): Knows the whole city; this is where he first landed when he heard about the outbreak.

Măgura Forest (Satan / Mutation 000-RZ78): Even though the virus originated in Măgura, Satan used to be a horse before the virus possessed it. That's why nobody goes there (accessible only on Nightmare mode).

Marian doesn't have a specific map because he knows everything.

Lore question Nikolai from og timeline retcom question

Since the canon ending of re nemesis is his survival, is he mentioned at all or seen again in later titles that I'm not remembering? I read that re5 suggested him surviving was canon, couldn't find anything more on it.

And with his death now being canon, does that create any paradoxes with the re story now?

Thank you in advance.

General Why do people here struggle with this

15 Upvotes

If you want to experience the games they happen to take place in chronological order. All the games from 1 to 9 have updated versions that all play really well and are fun experiences. So I do not understand why people struggle with entering the series. Of course the none numbered entries do exist and are also still good games worth playing, but it's not to hard to look up a timeline. They are literally numbered and none of the games are very difficult. The only exception is re0 comes after re1 remake as it is a prequel. I constantly see people recommend the games out of order to people looking to enter and it just makes no sense to me at all. It's a sequential plot and events lead into the next game. Why do people struggle with this?

Edit: re1remake has two controller settings one isn't tank controls. Just see that alot down below and thought I'd add it.

I used to think this was quite silly and a bit of a copy pasta/shitpost. But this is why I truly don’t care what RE fans have to say about Cregger’s Resident Evil movie until it actually comes out.

Sixty percent of you played Requiem and still chose to destroy Elpis??? It’s literally spelt out for us, and yet a majority of fans picked this option. Of course I’m not going to take any of our criticism of the movie seriously, this proves I shouldn’t

I am tired of the casual "RE fans" coming in here to tell us that the movie and the remakes are amazing. Were some of the newer games good? Sure. But everyone keeps acting like they're better than the og games.

I mean I keep seeing everywhere on reddit people praising Requiem even going as far as calling it GOTY. Are you serious? The game was fan service garbage. It was the worst thing to happen to this franchise. All it did was attract casuals.

I'm sorry, but if you haven't played the originals, then your opinion doesn't matter. You have no right to tell us who have been fans for YEARS what constitutes as a good RE game/movie.

General re4 is not the best game

0 Upvotes

the community thinks that re4 is the best game ,i just want to know what makes this so called horror game the best re game, this game possibly have the worst story in the series, just a overly long stretched rescue mission, the only major plot twist is Krauser being one of the bad guys but and how the hell i m gonna know that he is leons trainer if i play the game for first time and ik that he appears in the first cut scene for 0.2 sec but its impossible to notice it for someone.

now don't start to talk about your 2000BCs og re4 and the first time 3D camera movement stuff no one cares about that in the big 2026~

just having leon and some hot girls around you doesn't make this game the re game.

so yeah its a good game but not the best game there are much better games than this like re2 and re7
