Do you think we'll ever be able to play RE7 with the psvr 2?

I've never been able to play it on the original psvr, and also really wanna play re8 with vr. However, I'd have to invest a ton of money into that venture. It'd be a little more appealing if I could play both on one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the issue would be a game mechanics issue being built around very specific equipment, but this guy can still dream.

Cómo muevo objetos en Resident Evil 4 (2005) en PC.

Últimamente he estado intentado mover cosas del inventario pero no funciona, probé con algunas combinaciones de teclas, con otras teclas, vi videos en Youtube pero simplemente no se mueve y jugar sin mover cosas en el inventario es muy difícil. Alguien conoce como podría solucionarlo?

Any guide / recommendations for non-video game media?

I'm curious to get into novels / comics, or even fanfiction. I've played most of the main video games and seen all the films and the TV series. I know video game tie-ins can be very hit or miss quality wise, and given how the broad the franchise is I don't know where to start. Any recommendation or personal reviews? Thanks again friends!

Very sneaky capcom very sneaky...

I was playing resident evil revelations and noticed this painting inside the boat. I thought it was pretty morbid to have a painting of a sunken ship on a ship. It wasn't until the end when I saw the queen dido that it clicked and I realized that capcom was foreshadowing the end all along. Anyone know of something similar happening in other resident evil games?

Those whip noises in the second Paul WS movie are killing me 🤣

Why the hell is she making whip noises every time she punches or kicks? It’s so hilarious.

Is it because she is so fast? I think it kills every seriousness of the moment. But I somehow love it lol

give me a suggestion on how to keep playing

got into the series this year. I played RE2R, RE3R and now I'm finishing RE4R

I wanted to play RE5 next, but I'm getting mixed answers when searching whether or not I have to do RE0 and RE1 before

Do I have to? I wanted to leave it for much later, when I finish all "modern" entries (so after RE8, I guess), but if it hurts my experience with 5 too much, I might just do it. Seeing more of Jill and actually being properly introduced to whoever the hell Chris Redfield is sounds exciting, but I'm not sure I can play with limited saves and retro game difficulty. I'm too bad at these games for that lol

Is RE1 worth it?

Okay so the title isn’t as descriptive as I think it could be. I’m not debating whether it’s a good game or not. I’ve played the RE2, 3, and 4 remakes. But one thing that’s turning me off when thinking about playing RE1 is the item system, it sounds awful. I don’t mind backtracking here and there, but only 8 inventory slots? Idk, I want to know what other people really think about it before I decide if I wanna play it or just get RE7.

Edit: after reading the comments and thinking about it a bit more I feel like a big baby about the item system😭it’s just how the game is and takes more strategy. Thanks for the opinions 🙏

Curious to know your thoughts

For those who completed a NG Pro S+ No Merchant/No Damage run, what is your overall impression of your experience? How long did it take you to finish the run? Did you take breaks like days like multiple days, or did you play every day? What had the biggest impact on your playthrough? It could be anything, like gameplay, rewards, managing inventory, etc. Would you consider doing another run with these challenges again?

Question regarding "Frugalist" trophy.

Howdy. So, I'm currently on my 5th playthrough and am trying to achieve: Silent Stranger, Frugalist, and Minimalist trophies all in one. I'm at the Memdez boss fight and still have 90% of my armor left, but only 50% health. I've already had to quit and reload a few times due to taking too much damage. So, my question is:

If I die, do I void the frugalist achievement? I am aware health will regenerate once I'm at critical. But does it hinge on me not getting killed period, or does the playthrough still qualify as long as I don't use any healing items?

I've looked online, but never got any concrete answers, so I was hoping maybe someone might be able to help here? Thank you!

Can someone please help me understand why RE Zero gets a lot of ridicule/hate?

I realize it's not as great as others in the franchise, but as an RE fan, I enjoy it. It's quite challenging which is great, and particularly brutal in terms of NOT providing herbs and F aid sprays. I see lots of people criticizing the difficulty, but to me it's a plus.

I also see lots of people rag on the 'leave' item feature with no item boxes, but to me this makes it more realistic, and I can strategically store my items accordingly.

I think Ethan Winters gets more hate than he deserves

I’ve seen a lot of people say that Ethan is a really weak protagonist, and I honestly have to disagree. What makes his character so interesting to me is that he has no redeeming qualities — he’s no super-soldier like Leon who could fight even the worst horrors and abominations blindfolded and with his hands tied behind his back, but that’s what makes his character unique; he’s just a father trying to save his family. I think that makes him a much more vulnerable and relatable protagonist that you can truly connect with and understand and it drew me closer to him emotionally. I really liked the direction they went with him, making him just a normal guy with no extraordinary strength. It’s a really well-done insight into the lengths people would go for love. I certainly wouldn’t say he’s the strongest RE protagonist, but I don’t think he deserves all the hate he gets. Is this a hot take…?

Sherry's pov in re2r

I don't think people talk about it enough for how scary it is my hand were actually shaking when you had to hide from irons in the nursery. Something about you having to make sure a little girl gets out of the hands of an insane creep felt almost higher stakes than the zombie apocalypse to me for some reason

Finished RE revelations have some questions

I just binge played resident evil revelations all day and night (oh dear it's 3 am already) and I'm honestly a little confused. Why did every bad guy do what they did like why did jack Norman want revenge on Morgan Lansdale and how was O'brian involved? Honestly the story was a bit confusing. If I understood correctly Morgan infected the city and then destroyed it but why? I'm also confused by the ending why was Raymond (the red headed guy) a traitor and is he going to appear again because I don't understand why he did what he did. The ending also mention that Jill and Chris had another adventure in a mansion, What game is that in? Is it re5? Or the dlc I've heard about? Because I don't think it's the first game although that also happens in a mansion. Someone please explain.
