Just if you want to see the demos, Alanah (formally of IGN/Funhaus and now with Sony) plays through them

Even on a base PS4, this game looks so nice. I also very much appreciated the Easter Egg in the Castle demo. {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}If you visit the Duke, one of the lines that he can say is "What're ya buyin?" Sorry, just something an old friend used to say."

All I can think of is that Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene: “You don’t like her? What’s wrong with her? She’s beautiful, she’s rich, she’s got huge...tracts of land!”

I just find Ethan such a zero as a character. I guess he's supposed to be Joe Everyman, but I just don't like playing as him that much.

It does seem like a rather odd choice to me that (BIG spoilers here)... {Spoiler}They decided to basically render 7 completely moot by having Ethan dead the whole time anyway. Not like he's some deep and beloved character anyway but it does kind of turn 7 into a pretty useless story that ultimately it didn't really matter because you were doomed from the outset.
Then there's the decision to effectively tie every main villain in the franchise except Saddler back to Mother Miranda. That also seems kind of weird; if anything it makes the world feel a lot smaller and less scary if there's one central evil that everything goes back to. I mean, it's Resident Evil so who really cares about the plot anyway but those are some strange directions to take this.

So I've just started the game. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Ethan's poor hand can't catch a break. Later into the game: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Seriously! Leave the man's hands alone! Even later on: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Holy f***! This is getting comical.

Just starting the game: {Spoiler}How fitting that the game is named Village, since the very first big battle in the game is very much reminiscent of the Village battle in RE4[\spoiler]

So that was the silliest Resident Evil game I've ever played.

Just played for seven hours and here are my observations: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} *Right now, the game feels like a much better version of the RE3 remake. Where it’s heavier on action and there’s a semi open world setting for you to explore but instead of abandoning it within the first hour you return to it after every boss area with new areas to explore.
*Ethan still feels underdeveloped and awkward but the opening bit before Chris f***s everything up is really good and makes both him and Mia into a believable family.
*Holy shit, does Mia get f***ed up.
*The opening village scene is a total copy of RE4 but unlike Leon, Ethan gets his ass wrecked and is only saved by the bell.
*The Duke is awesome.
*The lycans are horrifying.
*Killing Lady D and her daughter was honestly painful. You could have easily made the entire game about them.
*Ethan’s hands are the most abused characters in video game history.
* The puzzles is this game are basic but fun.
*There’s a part of this game that goes full Silent Hill and is one of the better moments in the series.
* House Beneviento was brief and I would have liked to see more of that puppet.
* This game does a good job of adding a bit of exposition to show the villains as evil but still make me regret having to put them down.
*If this game wants me to conserve ammo then it shouldn’t make the M1911 so fun to shoot.

The game def ended up being good. I liked it as a blend of RE7 and RE4 {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} I'm going to murder that boulder punching asshole got it for me lmao
Some good legit horror in the game
Chris is giving up solid snake vibes
Ethan being dead all along and kept alive by the mold is a nice twist to the crazy shit he went through. Can't help but figure that Chris and them would have done test on him and figured that out tho. Doesn't make much sense that only Mia would have known
They did everything possible to not show his face
Sooooo, can we get teen Rose game with powers?
