It is a brand new Tuesday, which suggests tonight there will likely be a brand new episode of Spot Dodge: A Live Nintendo Podcast completely on Destructoid. Topics: The crew discusses the current showcases for the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises. Resident Evil Village Gold Edition appears to be like wonderful and Capcom lastly reveals off a ton of Resident Evil 4 remake. Bloober Team has been tasked with a substantial job remaking Silent Hill 2 — Can they pull it off? We’re additionally getting much more new Silent Hill experiences.

Resident Evil 4 remake appears to be like to be shaping up properly in some ways. First, it’s completely jaw-dropping. Second, I’m so glad they’re bringing again Leon’s acrobatic follow-up assaults within the fight. And third, Leon’s hair is ideal.

However, one destructive factor that stood out to me was the dearth of camp and comedic undertones within the footage we noticed. It appears to be like so rattling critical. And whereas the unique had its critical moments, it was all wrapped in corny but lovable dialogue and characters. The authentic Resident Evil 4 has so many memorable characters from Leon, Ada, and Luis, to whacky bosses like Bitores “the big cheese” Mendez, Salazar, and the massive unhealthy himself Roman Sadler. All got here outfitted with tacky dialogue, hilarious one-liners, and all-around charming personalities.

The dialogue in RE4 completely toed the road between corny and cringey and dropped at life a forged of characters which have caught with so many players to today. With any luck, Capcom is just conserving issues grounded for the advertising and marketing, however within the precise recreation, issues are batshit insane like OG Resident Evil 4.

Our beautiful forged from across the internet: Brett Medlock (me) and Mary Stowe from Destructoid, John Friscia from The Escapist, Greg Bargas from PC Invasion, and Brett Larsen, our additional particular visitor. Behind the scenes, Gamurs’ Eric Weichhart is live-editing this week’s present.
