because not everyone likes MIL.. ok Im out of here!

Lightning Mr Bubbles751d ago

I like that Jill looks like she does in the Resident Evil 3 Remake, I wish Claire looked more like she does in the Resident Evil 2 Remake, that would of made more sense.

-Foxtrot751d ago

I suppose the excuse is Claire was infected when she was older

Snookies12751d ago

It's a Japanese franchise... We all know females don't age in Japan, lol.

Levii_92751d ago

and if you're 28 that means you are middle aged

BandarHub751d ago

Sometimes we have to suspend believability for the sake of entertainment. In this case the age of the character do not matter, similar to how these characters are able to escape death-defying situations that would normally kill a regular person.
The Western mindset is very fixated on realism this is why concepts are done differently from Japanese. This is why many time the character design that comes from Japanese artist are really imaginative. They do not get bogged down of how realistically things function.

Ageing the character to her actually real age in looks would subliminally mean that she is getting old and we have to move on.
Old snake means an end of an era.
Older Dante means giving the reins to another character

An older Jill, Claire and Rebbeca would mean the same here. It would give that audience a timeline.

Nowadays I feel that Japanese designs are moving towards a more realistic Westernised style.
Maybe it got to do with the motion capture and having the same actor for both acting and voting.
If AI tech get more advance we could see both be separated where the actor just voices and the motion is of a different person.

Resident Evil has a somewhat realistic approach to it's universe, so this is a glaring flaw. It's not an anime.

Crows90751d ago

Wouldn't say glaring since nobody actually cares

TricksterArrow751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

You clearly have no contact with the RE fan community if you think no one cares about how these characters look.

lucian229751d ago

resident evil is immensely anime, have you not played it? lmao

TricksterArrow751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

Depends on which RE you are talking about. RE1 is not anime-y at all. Neither is 2. They both are very by-the-book B horror zombie flicks. They even sprinkle things in like Terminator references and Alien. Very westernized. RE Zero, RE6 and Code Veronica things start to get a bit anime-y indeed, despite still having some western references.

RE4 (original) is a cringe-y B action movie from the 80's that just happens to have monsters in it as well. You have the president's daughter, the action hero, the sexy spy, the international terrorists, etc. RE7 is basically Evil Dead, so not sure if you can call that anime-y either. RE5 takes itself too seriously to be anime-y as well, maybe Wesker and his megalomania could be considered that.

All animated movies, are basically CGI animes though.
And yes, RE fans are VERY vocal regarding the characters' appeareance, and this includes their age. If you missed the Claire in Revelations, Jill in Revelations, Claire's RE2 face reveal and Chris' RE7 debacles, you are a lucky bastard.

It will come. I just think it will be after code Veronica, and zero. Maybe in line with when RE 10 releases…

gold_drake25d ago

do we really need another remake?

the one that got re released for the ps4 and xbox looks amazing.

-Foxtrot25d ago

It's been 23 years, by the time this could come out we'd be nearing 25. If it's done in the same style as the RE2, 3 & 4 Remake then yeah, I'd happily take another remake.

It gets to tie together RE0 and RE1 better while adding onto the mansion to give us new areas to visit or enemies to face.

coolbeans25d ago

Part of me always wishes the "OG" Resident Evil Remake would remain the only one. Then again, can't deny the financial incentive.

PlayStation Community Rejoice. Resident Evil 1 and Dino Crisis Finally Released From PSN Paywall

Until a few days ago, you could only access Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 1 via PS+. No one could simply purchase them, you had to rely on a monthly subscription.

SimpleSlave155d ago

Fucking Finally! Such a dumbass move to keep them behind a paywall hardly anyone will pay just for these two games.

Also, for some reason, Resident Evil Director’s Cut is free. It happened with Grandia (PS1) too a while ago. Weird, but oh so good.

VersusDMC155d ago

If you bought the original PS1 classic you get the new one for free. I didn't buy the RE1 PS1 classic back in the day so it is 10$ but i got legend of dragoon free because i bought it back in the day.

SimpleSlave155d ago (Edited 155d ago )

Interesting, but I didn't bought any of these games digitally. I only bought them physically and played them on the PS3. And while Grandia and Resi are part of that collection, there are other games, like G-Police, Legends of Dragoon Legend of Mana, that still have a price tag for me.

This sounds more like a random thing Sony is doing. Regardless, I just saved $10. So that's something.

VersusDMC155d ago

Honestly the texture gitters/clipping are a dealbreaker for me so not even trophies will get me to play these versions.

Capcom should just do a survival horror collection with proper remastering ,trophies and extras. Just like the MVC collection. I will just replay them on my vita for now.

jznrpg155d ago

If they made a collection with trophies I’d buy it but I’d like for them to add trophies to what’s there already
