If you thought RE5 was more of what people said they liked about RE4, you obviously haven’t played RE5.

…and I was agreeing. So completely unsure why you saw the need to reply seemingly attempting to laugh at something because you thought I missed that…but you do you.

Well, in my case I hated both RE4 and RE2 remake. So I was surprised when people hated RE5 and RE3 remake.

Dear fans, if you are so vocal in how much you love RE4 and RE2 remake, then RE5 and RE3 remake are exacly what you asked.

IIRC, the reason Clive Barker demanded to be allowed to direct Hellraiser was because the other adaptations of his work (Rawhead Rex) pissed him off so much. Pinhead was… just another cenobite, if anything “The Engineer” was the leader since they said they couldn’t start with him, and pretty much all we get from Pinhead was there’s the one androgynous cenobite with an effeminate voice, gridlines and pins in their face who has like one line.

Then it turns out that Doug Bradley and the female cenobite were pretty much the only cenobites who *could* speak under all the makeup (Like, Chatterer’s actor literally couldn’t see anything going on around him), Bradley ends up being freakin’ amazing, and rando one-line background cenobite becomes the face of the franchise.

It was 100% unintentional and Capcom have been very clear that they didn’t know RE had that reputation in the west. Comparing a handful of live action FMVs produced for no money by a video game company to major Hollywood movies that inspired the games and going “it was intentionally bad” is absurd. They just didn’t have any money and the talent was basically hired off the street. It *being* a B movie and it *intentionally* being a B movie are too completely different things.

Absolutely not. It is not on fans to “take responsibility” for anything. That’s a bizarre and dismissive attitude to take for legitimate criticism.

It was totally intentional. The fmvs were “made for peanuts” with the dogs being the exact quality youd see in a b movie, and they completely dived into it with the packaging for remake booklet. There may have been other influences but the fmvs speak for themselves they’re not even close to alien terminator quality.

Honestly, you could argue the majority of re2s iconic locations got scrapped – the nests has more or less replaced the original but nest2 is the only issue. The writing was on the wall for what to expect from remake3 and everyone ignored it. You can blame them all you want, but at a certain point the Fandom needs to take some responsibility for the risks the company is taking with the properties.
