Poll of the Day > Where's Resident Evil 4 Remake?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That's the one I'm looking forward to most. How you gonna leave that one out of the PotD?!

It was me. I'm the mastermind behind it all.

Nintendo Fanboys that wet themselves in excitement over anything Nintendo.

Not saying Im not going to buy the new Zelda game. Not saying I hate Nintendo. But GameFAQS does seem to have an absurd amount of people who would choose Nintendos survival over their own mothers life without any hesitation.

DIABLO IV will give people WAY more hours of gameplay than Zelda. And thats factoring in hunting down all 800 Kokonut seeds or whatever the fuck they add this time around.

I'm not much of a Nintendo fan, but I refuse to give Blizzard any of my money.

I played Diablo III and found it pretty boring.

Must-buy!

Zelda and Starfield are the only two from that list that I'm looking forward to. Also quality/enjoyment of hours spent > number of hours played.

sorry but there is very little reason to be excited about anything activision-blizzard puts out anymore.

i voted for dead space.

Please fill me in cause I just dont know. Theyre not going to turn D4 into what the mobile version was. And if its about some internal company drama, that really doesnt effect my dungeon diving. So what exactly is the issue with D4 and Blizzard?

Beyond that, Blizzard tanked any chance they had of me trusting their new releases with Reforged. They've conclusively indicated that they're not above actively breaking games I already own for the sake of making their new ones more attractive (not just in the sense of shutting down servers), and while that backfired hard enough that I doubt they're going to try it again any time soon, they aren't getting a cent from me until they can prove to me that they won't continue to push that envelope. In a similar vein, everything that's been seen so far is suggesting that they're going to be monetizing D4 as hard as they can get away with. While it's not going to be as egregious as Immortal (which I strongly suspect was made as bad as it was in part as a deliberate effort to make 4 look better by comparison), that's still just not something I feel like involving myself with. Diablo's not the only ARPG on the block anymore. If I'm in the mood for one, I can get my fix without having to deal with Blizzard's nonsense.

Game length doesn't mean a whole lot in terms of overall appraisal. Sure, it's the only objective measure of value there is for games (specifically, hours per dollar), but it doesn't really factor in at all in determining how excited I am for an upcoming game, nor in how great I think a game was after I finish it. I'm not about to call WoW the best game ever, after all, despite putting more play time into it (~250 days by the time I quit) than probably any other game I've played. I can quite happily say that I enjoyed playing BotW for ~80 hours more than I enjoyed playing D3 for 200 (and I've actually considered going through BotW again, whereas the thought of going back to D3 just makes me feel pre-emptively bored).

Surely you remember how much people complained about Diablo 3 when that game launched. And that was arguably when Blizzard was still good at making games. Even if I were a fan of modern Blizzard I would not have unwavering faith in their ability to make Diablo 4 good at launch at the very least.

Theres a lot of positives that Ive seen in D4. If it comes out and its something like New World then fuck itIll simply not play. But I think they learned from D3 and Mobile. Interesting theory about them intentionally making Mobile bad. Seems plausible.

You're in the wrong sub. This is poop of the day

But I think they learned from D3 and Mobile.

They "learned" what they can and can't get away with, which generally won't actually have been a surprise because they research this stuff pretty exhaustively before trying it out. D3's RMAH wasn't removed because they realized it was a mistake, it was removed because they felt they'd made all the money they could from it and stood to make more by making the game work better. Immortal's monetization isn't because they didn't realize there would be a backlash to needing to spend six figures to finish a character, it's because they (correctly) predicted that the handful of people willing to spend six figures on their character (or lacking the impulse control not to, because who doesn't like exploiting mental illness for fun and profit?) would generate more revenue than more reasonable monetization strategies.

The thing a lot of people don't seem to understand in these discussions is that the D3's RMAH wasn't an accident. Immortal wasn't an accident. In both cases, they served exactly the purposes that the higher-ups making the decisions wanted from them, which is to make far more money than simply letting the dev team create a good game would have. Acitblizz won't have learned from those mistakes because they weren't mistakes. They were representations of exactly what they wanted for each game, and there's every reason to believe that they want it for D4 as well.

Will D4 be outright pay-to-win? Probably not. They know that they would sacrifice a lot of sales by doing that to a main series game, especially after committing to not doing so (which, again, is blatantly a matter of making Immortal terrible, then saying "we won't be that bad" to win PR points even though they're still doing far worse than would have been acceptable a decade ago). Will they be monetizing every aspect that they think they can get away with without being called P2W and doing everything in their power to manipulate players into buying the stuff they insist is "optional"? Absolutely, and I fully expect that the early stages of the game will be specifically designed to lull people into thinking it won't be that bad.

People, people,...we're supposed to be talkin' about RE4 Remake here?!

So you both admit to being fools. Nintendo is never going give you anything for kissing their butt, by the way. So you may as well stop doing that.

I hope Capcom don't botch it like they did with Resident Evil 3: Remake or so I've heard. I still need to play Resident Evil 2 remake (it's on my shelf, never played the OG) too. Still Resident Evil 4 is the best Resident Evil I've played so the remake is a must.

They're not going to. RE4 is their golden boy. They're gonna put all their resources into in, they just farmed RE3make out for the bare minimum.

Well, at this point, you can play the original or not, but RE2 Remake is a phenomenal game on it's own! RE3 (as stated above) was farmed out and wasn't completely bad, but pretty garbage compared the the 2 remake. RE4 is gonna RULE since they brought it back in house.

If you got Nintendo fanboyism out of 300 words dunking on Blizzard (based on things they objectively and unarguably do) and a one-off comment about liking BotW, I think you might be looking a little too hard for Nintendo fanboyism.

I mentioned looking forward to Zelda and Starfield and I'm somehow a Nintendo fanboy, but not a Bethesda fanboy.
