paradigm_shiftDisclaimer: Things make sense? Probably? Expect detours and stuff. Also typoes.
I would have to live under a rock to not know something about Resident Evil, but I never gave it much attention, besides something about hiding your partner in a garbage can? So that they don’t die while you run around shooting at zombies?
Video 2 | What even happened last time? More under the cut
Full disclosure - it's been awhile, so I don't really remember what happened, except they weren't waiting for a train, because they were already on it, and it uh, stopped. In a building
Slowly shooting their way out of the burning firey wreckage? At least until they can open a door into a sewer. Why is it always the sewers? Somehow it leads into the building. And we don't actually know the extent of their injuries, though it does seem they're relatively unscathed. Rebecca has a sore arm? Full mobility seems to be present anyway.
It's a good thing you can outrun a lot of the zombies, but sometimes it's hard to see around the corners, guess that's why audio cues are important. They’re like slow carnival pop up dolls anyway. You shoot them down, they get back up
fire away, fire away.
Guys in the surveillance room: "What about the male?" you mean "what about that man?"
Also the man controlling the slugs has a nice voice. But I really don't see why he has to go and announce his plans, especially if revenge is what he's after.
Does the whole swap back and forth mechanic get bothersome? I would think so. I think I remember a similar mechanic is some Castlevania game, but you never SPLIT UP. Cue heart beat
It's a nice house. I mean, it's kind of shitty, being used as a lab, but admittedly, in this economy, you may be able to snap it up for cheap. If you can get a hazmat suit and a team of cleaners to just clear out the place. Also, it would be a good place to find ghosts and invite them to high tea.
Birds just burst in through the window. And the player ran back through the door before they did anything.
Giant locusts? Just drops in from the ceiling?
And I love ravens, but those birds are pretty mean, admittedly against trespassers. They're not used to humans here anymore.
The whole bugs/insects theme to the bigger monsters is neat, though whatever mutation caused the return of late carboniferous sized creatures has also altered their oxygen intake, since that was what allowed them to get so big then.
It had to do with how there wasn't anything that could break down lignin, which then allowed for the breakdown of a lot of dead plant material, altering the atmospheric gas content. Consequently, the carbonisferous period was also the period where a lot of our fossil fuels were formed, since the dead plants would then become things like coal, and oil.
Let that be a history fact of the day.
I think it might be easier if they gave Rebecca more lines, besides the screaming and Billy's name. I've been spoiled, haven't I?
Though the way she's being the giant centipede's meat shield makes things difficult.
We do not question the weird puzzles.
We never question the weird puzzles.
Because WE MUST PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS
I do however, love how every item is broadcasted. No pixel hunting here.
Yay, statue. No superglue required! The parts just slot into place! Like it should.
OH wow, I knew ravens and eyes go together, but not THAT well.
(That's not actually how you should read an analog clock kids)
tic-tac-tic-tac-tic-tac-tic-tac clomp clomp clomp tic-tac-tic-tac
*Zombie appears* Billy just casually runs past, he has no time for this
The armor sets holding the doors shut are cool! It's not like there aren't a dearth of odd buttons and secret compartments scattered all over already. Why not go for the whole glorious secret mansion, who killed Mr. Boddy look? Including giant chess board secret shelf
"I don't care about anything but my research", "He can do what he likes" UM how about you get out into the real world some more.
T for Tyrant! Wrong tyrant
Yeah, definitely get out into the sun more. And the fresh air. But you die. so I guess it's not a big deal.
Who is snoring? It’s not like the zombie groans we’ve heard before. that’s for sure. And Billy’s not shooting at anything.
And hey, why not mix random chemicals note writing guy? What could possibly go WRONG. *15 plus years of lab safety lectures play softly in the background as I cry quietly into my hands*
Secret passage, secret passage, secret passage, secret passage! It’s behind his (Marcus what’s his face) portrait! What a narcissist
Yep, just run past the giant tarantulas, Rebecca will be fine. We just gotta get to the next room, and there everyone will be hunky dorey.
And it's a medieval torture chamber!
IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT'S JUST FOR SHOW. I know what some
What do you mean exit rapidly? Oh, the Door. Phew.
Except you know, the guy who wants revenge also doesn't care for other people poking around. Which leads us to the attack of the Odd mutant monkey? Or maybe one of the missing inmates.
Except that Rebecca falls through a hole in the floor.
