Hey Capcom. If you need to remake more Resident Evil games, why not remake Survivor? It was also in first person like 7, Village and Requiem (optionally). You've learned a lot since this, so you'd have a chance to make it into an actual good game. #ResidentEvil #Capcom

I've never watched Twin Peaks. But I'm confident that the Yakuza 4 devs did based on this.

The fuck you mean redemption arc? Sony is cartoonishly evil right now. They're like the Legion of Doom but with no charm or brains. Redemption isn't happening for them any time soon.

Now that people have had a chance to watch the #ResidentEvil film, let me explain why I hate the ending & think it hurts the movie. Spoilers for Resident Evil games such as RE2, RE3, RE6, RE7, Village and the Outbreak games. No spoilers for Requiem though. Images hidden if you don't want to read.
Now that a good amount of time has passed, let me talk about why I hate the ending of the 2026 Resident Evil film. One thing that's always separated Resident Evil from other horror series for me is the underlying theme of hope. Lives are lost and there's certainly tragedy, but overall, the heroes survive and live to fight another day, defeating the evil that tried to end them. Bad ends still exist in some games, but they're always presented as an alternate possibility rather than the truth. The good ending is always the canon outcome, with the exception of Outbreak, simply because we don't know the fates of the other protags besides Alyssa, and even then, they're not confirmed dead. To date, only 2 of the canon games have ended with one of the main heroes canonically dying. Those being Piers in RE6 & Ethan in Village, and they're presented as sacrificing themselves to save those they care about, rather than an outright loss. And no, I have no issue with a horror story having a sad ending for its protag. One of my favorites is Silent Hill after all, and most of its endings can turn out badly for them. But the difference is that Resident Evil has always had that odd optimism, that regardless of what they face, the heroes can make it out ok. The film completely discards that for an ending that renders everything completely meaningless, making Bryan's struggles & pointless. It trades hope for cynicism. I've heard several points about this I'd like to address.1: "It wouldn't be realistic if they made the cure so quick and got it to him." My retort: It's fiction. This is a movie about trying to survive zombies & monsters. It doesn't have to conform to realism.
2: "Bryan is just a regular dude. There was no way he'd survive." My retort: Alyssa, Ethan and Grace were also fairly regular people, and yet they made it out. Yes, Ethan was more durable due to the Mold, but not unkillable as proven by the end of Village. If he truly wasn't that capable, he wouldn't have made it to the end at all.
3: "Making the cure would've taken too much time." My retort: The cures in 2 & Outbreak were basically made right away. In fact, Outbreak had them make multiple in quick succession.
4: "Bryan is meant to represent an NPC who makes it far & leave a note before they die." My retort: If that were true, the film made no attempt to convey that, as there's no indication his last message will ever be seen. One of the game characters showing up briefly to find it in a post credits scene could've done so, but that not what happens. Bryan is presented as the protagonist and dies as the protagonist.
5: "Even if he were given a cure, it wouldn't have helped him. He was probably too far gone." My retort: Did you play any of the games set in Raccoon City? Because it happens in basically all of them. Sherry, Jill and potentially all the Outbreak protags, or at least canonically Alyssa. There was absolutely a chance for him to walk away from this cured, or at least with side effects like what Sherry & Jill have.Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the movie. Aside from lacking any of the iconic creatures, the film feels like Resident Evil, and I like it for that. I could absolutely see it working as a game and I honestly think it would've worked better. However, that ending just sours the whole experience for me and doesn't make me eager to watch it again any time soon. It's a shame, because I think Cregger understood Resident Evil in so many ways, which is why so many like the film, except for one of its most core points. Hope can triumph over horror.
In short, the film's a 7/10. Good all around, but the ending ruins it.

Go ahead and get this. While I have some occasional complaints about level design & the fairness of its difficulty, it's overall still a fun game worth playing through, especially if you're a fan of Mega Man Zero & ZX.

To any fellow Re:Zero fans, I hope you enjoyed season 4 & the peak that is Arc 6. But be prepared to wait a while for Season 5. The next major story is Arcs 7 & 8, which is a full saga of 13 novel volumes as well as material from several spinoff books & short stories. It'll take a minute to make.

Turns out the sale has been extended to October 8th. Again, if you want some great gothic horror action fun & some good Metroidvania games, play the Castlevania games! And watch the show. It's damn good and characters such as Sypha, Alucard, Dracula and Isaac are fantastic. #gaming #Konami

Localization is a good thing and can sometimes make changes for the better. But if there's one thing I don't understand about it, it's the tendency to sometimes swap in a completely different word when the original has it said clearly. For instance, if the character says "pardon" in clear English,

Random thought. Instead of giving Silent Hill another live action film that probably won’t be good, how about giving Silent Hill f an anime adaptation? It already has a manga and Konami has their own animation studio. It’d be a new medium to make Silent Hill fans. #SilentHill #SilentHillf #Konami
