I think it’s absolutely a consequence of that trend in horror media. I’m seeing it backwards, it’s very similar to a ton of (what I find to be) schlocky edgy monster designs in bad movies and games that came after because it was ahead of that curve.

I love the fixed cameras in re remake 1 and silent hill has some of that but yeah the straight cinematography vs the limited but still frequently moving and pegged to your character camera in sh2 wasn’t nearly as artistically interesting. I did get that it was going for that fear of the unknown.

I’m a fixed camera purist now I feel like we’ve left a lot of artistic potential behind, really wish they’d do a full bore new re game with fixed cam and see what can be done with it now vs 20-30 years ago when it started dying off.

Re2make and 4make were decent but the over the shoulder is eh. 2 is much better at creating a movie like vibe.

Ahahaha it worked lol

Have a good day

Ah yes “everyone liking it” famously a thing that artists can and should shoot for as a goal. A thing that is possible to achieve.

It’s personal little buddy, I think it’s God tier it does God tier things for me personally you have your own tastes your own priorities. I can only work from my own read just as much as you can only work from yours

Death stranding is pretty God tier but also you gotta be on the kojima wavelength so definitely not for everyone.

I just started mgs4 and it’s pretty wild, i think all the other metal gears are playable by non-sony means

The Sly Cooper franchise might be my favorite, all three of em are very dear to my heart and I’m considering getting the PS3 version just to replay the series, they run pretty badly on emulators. I played the first 30 minutes of 4 and it was rough, the character design changes also rubbed me the wrong way.

If you’re showing me the video yeah it’s damning

Other than that eh maybe IDK you can make the argument that the milkshake chorus is very catchy and the exact kind of thing that would hit on tik Tok but it also smacks of 2000s in the production and writing outside of that

It’s a very 2000s kind of horny and that’s the real nail in the coffin for me

Also respect to a classic hard to divorce my ingrained cultural knowledge, I don’t know if I can truly give an honest answer because of this. If you ask me to examine I think I can catch it if I wasn’t looking out for it i’d probably take your word for it but I’d find it weird that it was popular outside of the chorus.

This looks rad I know it’s still in production but I really hope they can fix the sound mixing to make the attacks feel less flat. The knife swishes and lightning are begging for some big musical theater style sound effects.

I can see all the attacks that are timed with musical cues but they feel disconnected from the song and the physical environment. Playing it I feel like it’d be less of a feeling the rhythm thing and more just rote memorization or reflexes.

I have been playing through all the re games with a friend, if you haven’t played it’s fucking wild how racist it is, even for the time it sticks out. All the controversy was centered on the first act which is fuckin bad but it gets so much worse anyone saying it’s not that bad because “there were Spanish zombies and these are african zombies” either hasn’t played it or cannot be trusted it’s fuckin wild. The tribal shit after the first act is 1930’s cartoon level racist.

I worked at a mexican restaurant chain that had an item like this.

It was a Tortilla, with peanut butter and banana in the center, and we would bread it in a sweet batter and cornflakes, then deep fry it. One of the best things on the menu, they got rid of it years ago because it didn’t sell well for the prep work involved

First guitar riff he gets off is BB’s theme losing my mind at this shit
