I'm just sad that it's on the Wii U. I don't want to buy a system for just a game. The Evil Within reminds me a lot of Silent Hill. Silent Hill lost their popularity once the transition to action were made.
I thought it would be for the ps3/ps4 as well... damn.. I'm not gonna buy a wii U, at least I don't think so. I never felt that Silent Hill had that transition to action like Resident Evil did but maybe that's just me, I think the series managed to keep their original style pretty well.

Wow, that's actually pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure the Japanese server is also closed. You can play the game on a fan server though if you so choose, but I want the next chapter of Outbreak to come out. On Capcom Unity, Outbreak is one of the most requested game. File 2 wasn't as popular simply because they remove a lot of stuffs that make the first game awesome, and it comes out too soon after the first one. Resident Evil Outbreak File 3 needs to be made though. I want a HD version of the game. If they can't, they should just let other developers develop the game the publish it. I love playing as Cyndi since I could be a total jerk as her, I remember timing an attack where I crouch down and the lion bypass me and hit Yoko player from behind. It was so perfect that it was like a movie.
Hahaha I remember them all and boy did I hate Yoko LOL, my favourite character was that reporter, cant remember her name, I always played her and oh yeah that Jimmy!! I loved his talking, especially when he started saying "my life is ****" and "why does **** like this always happen to me?" and then he would start making these girly sounds hahaha, I loved it! And yeah the Japan servers are probably closed now but they definitely continued for a very long time after the others closed down, I remember that very clearly, so unfair.
I mean the audience's taste was change from survival horror to action horror beginning with Resident Evil 4. Japanese developers are now have to tailor to Western taste, so their games becoming more action. Turn based RPG like Final Fantasy is also making a transition to action style and the other ones have becoming more of a niche or never got released outside of Japan. I still like the old style of Silent Hill though. The new Silent Hill Downpour was pretty crappy. What makes Silent Hill great is not just about the setting but also about the story. I feel like the Western developers lack the same style of storytelling when trying to recreate that.I thought it would be for the ps3/ps4 as well... damn.. I'm not gonna buy a wii U, at least I don't think so.

Yahtzee Croshaw's review here, basically sums up partly what is wrong with Silent Hill. One of the factors, being the western developers completely missing the point of its symbolism, and what Silent Hill is, but also implementing foolish things like force love interest and dumb jump scares etc.
This review sums up what it is that made the old games great.
Alyssa. I like play as her also. This sounds pretty bad, but the reason why I like playing as Alyssa and George is because I find them attractive. Don't judge me though, I was young and hormone and stuffs. In term of my playstyle though, Cindy is pretty useful, so I could tank a few hit thanks to her herbs. This is especially useful on harder difficulty where herbs are scarce. Why do you hate Yoko? Granted, she's pretty useless on high difficulty since she dies in 1-2 hits from most enemies, but her dodge is the best in the game and she can hoard a lot of items, but playing as her suck though since her damage is pretty weak. I don't like her personality though.Hahaha I remember them all and boy did I hate Yoko LOL, my favourite character was that reporter, cant remember her name, I always played her and oh yeah that Jimmy!!

Right, Alyssa! Yeah she was pretty plus she had the lock picking skill and haha I wont judge, I played her because I always choose a pretty character for myself and when it comes to attractiveness I remember David, damn I was crazy about him and his voice lol, it didnt matter who played him, I was automatically attracted to the person behind hahaha. And Yoko was just plain boring, she was useful cause she could carry a lot but she was boring, thats why.
Had nothing to do with Yoko's crush on David? lolRight, Alyssa!

j/k. Yeah, David King was attractive, but I'm more attracted to the soft spoken and gentleman than the wild and dangerous type. I could get no damage with tyrant easily as Yoko, but yeah, she's pretty boring, she has no personality compared to the rest of the cast. I personally dislike Tom Cruise more than the rest, in a survival setting, a recklessly charged into danger person like Tom Cruise is someone I don't like to have on the team.
Resident Evil 2 remake or GTFO.
^This. Seriously. And RE3 while you're at it, Capcom.
Every woman character post-Shinji-Mikami-Resident Evil has their cleavage out. It sort of signifies the franchise's downfall in terms of quality I'd say.
Hey, Jessica didn't have her cleavage out!
Chris Redfield isn't being objectified, to appeal to all the wominzz whom clearly play Resident Evil, yo! He's delibarately being buffed up to attract all the white-bread males, his design and character is wish fulfillment to appeal to your average male power fantasy.
This wominz finds Chris Roidfield as about as visually appealing as a pile of compost, so if that's objectification... good job? 
Now, Wesker poured into that leather getup in RE5 on the other hand...
This sounds pretty bad, but the reason why I like playing as Alyssa and George is because I find them attractive.
I had a soft spot for George but rarely played as him - I chose Mark for the sole purpose of following him around and shouting JAWJ JAWJ JAWJ at him until he went mad and let the leeches devour him. That's how The Hive always played out in my mind.
But yes, Outbreak File 3 would be grand.
Never cared about the Outbreak games. I'd rather have them remake Resident Evil 2 and 3 and make them one game with 3 separate scenarios, Leon, Claire and Jill. But only if it was faithful to the original material and without the added action of the newer games.
Capcom can keep their sh!t or just bury the series for once.
Either way i'll pass and will not give them anymore money.

^ Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ^ 
LOL
This HD remaster of Remake is something I'll gladly give them money for. Remake is a masterpiece.
Jill spends most of her time being something the male character needs to save in Resident Evil 5 -- In fact, she is Chris' main motivation. In RE3, there's a point where you are forced to play the naive Mercenary bloke to save Jill, and in Resident Evil 1 Jill is heavily dependent on Barry to rescue her a lot. Chris never needs anyone's help in his scenario. Although, I think things like that are worse with recent Resident Evil games, and Jill did retain a somewhat independent spirit in Resident Evil 3, and without irrational choice of clothing.
The main point was that generally, this is how female characters are implemented in most games, but that is not to say all games do it. But it's to show that it exists.
Unless I'm reading that wrong, are you saying Jill wasn't wearing an irrational choice of clothing?
Right. She was wearing a boobtube and a skirt! In the middle of a zombie outbreak no less. Where was the reason in that? She could have easily been wearing her S.T.A.R.s uniform, but nooo. Let's dress her up as a hooker to fight an army of undead flesh-eaters. Flesh. Eaters.
You're lying to yourself if you're saying she wasn't put into that choice of clothing purely for fan service and eye candy.

Probably because the outbreak occured out of nowhere in Raccoon City, perchance? She also wasn't part of S.T.A.R.S anymore, it was effectively abandoned after the Mansion Incident. We can argue back and forth of what can be considered acceptable fashion sense, but there's nothing wrong with wearing a skirt, blue tanktop and high-heel boots when you're a civillian, which she pretty much was at the time.
Let it be known that I don't exactly consider Capcom to be effectively subtle about their game character designs. Ada Wong runs around in impractical high-heels and a skirt in RE4 instance, but it's acceptable because the game (doesn't take itself too seriously) and plays more along the lines with a sense of ironic retro campyness. It's still dumb though in a similar fashion to how Zero-Suit Samus is dumb.
Post-RE4, Jill always have zipper up, even in combat-gear, for cleavage points. This wasn't the case before and thus it's more noticeable and annoying.
The point was about objectification, which relates to how female characters are deliberately derived of agency and personality and replaced with nothing but sexualized husks. Jill becomes entirely dependent upon her male counterparts having to save throughout all of the games, and this is especially the case in RE5, where it feels more or less like she can't do anything without a dudebro to pick her up. This is Capcom, however, it's always been like that but now it's become a bit more obvious. The tank top isn't exactly o-inspiring either .. I can dig tanktops just fine as long as it doesn't come off as an obvious stunt to fetishize, like Faith in Mirror's Edge or Lara in Tomb Raider Reboot. Hideo Kojima sexualises most of his female characters, but it's never at the expense of any agency, thus the intention is never to objectify, but that's not to say it isn't annoying sometimes, which it is. Looking back at MGS1, I can't help but facepalm over the fact that the few female characters there are in the game are dressing quite inappropriately for an otherwise harsh and cold environment.
I bet I'll buy it. I dun know why but I will. Damn it....

Showing off cleavage was there before Resident Evil 4, that's all I'm trying to say. That and it is still irrational apparel. She's clearly sitting on a bed there, so I can only assume she's at her house, apartment, etc. So she could of changed into a more suitable choice of clothing to deal with flesh eaters. Perhaps a long-sleeve shirt, and some jeans? And S.T.A.R.S. didn't abandon, they went rogue. Chris is even seen wearing his uniform in Code: Veronica. Jill could of been wearing hers.
Her outfit is just illogical. It goes against her character too, as pointed out by someone else on a different forum.
- Ex-Delta Force.
- S.T.A.R.S Member.
- Has survived one outbreak already.
- Known to be tough and intelligent.
Now, let's look at her outfit compared to, for example, jeans, a shirt and a jacket.
- A good amount of skin exposed, perfect for a bite. While clothes won't stop a zombie bite they will help you last longer, especially tougher material like denim or leather.
- Boob tubes are tight around the chest, and are not exactly the kinda thing designed for physical exertion.
- Mini skirts are tight around the thighs.
As I said, the only reason she was put into a boobtube and skirt was purely for fan service and eye candy.
Japanese game with real armored girl is like Bioware retake ME3 ending. A fantasm.

Impractical clothing has always been an issue of Capcom games -- Perhaps I should have worded that better, in previous posts, so fair enough.
But I am, however, getting tired of the tedious back and forth argument of comparing the issue of objectifying to that of fan-service, so let's leave that discussion in a ditch now.
In Resident Evil's universe, an armor is superficial at best, it's futile to try and rationalize something like zombies.
Abandoned, went rogue, it was pretty much disbanded after the whole Mansion incident and the only reason he still wears that armor is to honour his friends. That's his prerogative.
Retour en haut
