What happened, was it as simple as JJ Abrams tier red herring shit where they came up with the marker but didn't know where to take it narratively?

>>14740959

I'm still pissed at 3.

>>14740959

It would have been shit anyway Anon, and you know it

>>14740959

people who like little faggot dogs like your image need to be beaten and drowned in piss along with their little yipping faggot dogs.

I pay attention to a lot of industry trends and write up a bit of prediction work here and there- don't worry. EA planned something like that way in advance and no harm was done from that petition. Shut downs are usually foreseen months in advance. Look at thq and looking glass fot well documented ones.

>>14740959

It's EA. They buy companies purely to get as much money out of them as possible before driving them into the ground.

Dead Space was never good.

>>14742036

My guess is that something about US business law favors short-term bun-and-

>>14742051

DS1 had potential.The horror factor was unfortunately ruined by the abundance of combat starting in the mid-early game. I wish ammo was more scare. In my first playthrough, I was forced to used other weapons besides my preferred ones, which led to panic and tactical decisions. This experience was nulled on subsequent playthroughs, which were just too easy since every encounter is scripted. DS2 had way too many resources available by comparison. Didn't play 3, universal ammo is always shit unless you have really in-depth and interesting movement or shooting mechanics.

>instead of simply infecting the president directly

It requires a lengthy incubation period, can't have a mercenary sit next to the president for a week or w/e.

>assumes nobody would screen her for medical abnormalities after coming back

Not unreasonable, it's assumed that no one had similar technology. No one is doing a cavity search on the president's daughter.

>assumes the U.S wouldn't send the entire fucking military after him (only Leon for some reason)

Not unreasonable, it's a hostage situation.

>assumes the plaga'd president wouldn't be under suspicion when he starts turning pale and chanting in latin

Don't think that's a requirement. He'd feel tired and need to rest for a few days while his daughter cared for him.

The real problem with RE4 is why didn't saddler just put Ashley in the first house Leon enters, let him rescue her, let her be taken home to infect the president like he wanted all along?

>>14742150

>Not unreasonable, it's assumed that no one had similar technology

But they live in a world where bioweapons, even sentient ones such as Nemesis, run around, and the president of the US would be well aware of them considering his predecessor had to nuke a town to clean Umbrella's mess up.

>why didn't saddler just put Ashley in the first house Leon enters, let him rescue her, let her be taken home to infect the president like he wanted all along?

If I had to pull some headcanon out of my ass I'd say because her parasite needed some "conditioning" or something so she didn't just turn into a mindless zombie.

>>14740848

So much potential for horror, lovecraftian levels of mystery, and mindfuckery, but they fucked it up, just like their other game, Dante's Inferno, the Mass Media and nonsense and varying levels of quality of the games means it's not perfect, and the EA strategy of just mass marketing to make it appeal to all people just made the devs confused on what to do with their game. Just let it die and fuck EA

>But they live in a world where bioweapons, even sentient ones such as Nemesis, run around, and the president of the US would be well aware of them considering his predecessor had to nuke a town to clean Umbrella's mess up.

Ehh, I don't think that stuff was well known outside of Umbrella? It's not like you can magically see everything with some magic scanner, if you don't know what to look for it's hard to find stuff without a full dissection.

>If I had to pull some headcanon out of my ass I'd say because her parasite needed some "conditioning" or something so she didn't just turn into a mindless zombie.

None of the villagers were mindless zombies.

That said, Saddler might not be able to do any control or communication across distances and would need Ashley fully under his control so he could instruct her in how to infect the President.

>>14742239

>I don't think that stuff was well known outside of Umbrella?

There's RE CGI movies that imply not only are foreign governments researching said weapons, but using them as well, to the point the US had to create a special taskforce to contain the problem. As Leon said, Racoon City changed everything.

>It's not like you can magically see everything with some magic scanner, if you don't know what to look for it's hard to find stuff without a full dissection.

I'd imagine they would have some pretty advanced medical technology at hand in the RE timeline, and high ranking government officials would be routinely scanned for infection or other foreign elements.

>None of the villagers were mindless zombies.

It's obvious they didn't eat or clean themselves, and had been reduced to a pale imitation what they did in their previous lifetime. Also, they seem to lack any and all instincts for self-preservation.

>>14742266

>Also, they seem to lack any and all instincts for self-preservation.

You are clearly forgetting how they sometimes put their hands up in front of their face to stop the bullets.

>>14742266

Also are any of the RE movies even canon? I've always assumed they weren't and haven't really watched them.

>>14742289

>how they sometimes put their hands up in front of their face to stop the bullets

Anon, that's not exactly much of an argument. They're still slowly shuffling towards you and never actually rout, no matter how many of them you kill.

>>14742293

I assume they are canon since Capcom made them.

>>14742293

>are the RE movies canon

I fucking hope so, because now they have to make a cuhrayzee gun-kata game where you play as Leon and explode helicopters with motorcycles.

>>14742379

Did Equilibrium ever get a game?

Dead Space 4 never fucking ever and it feels bad

I want to know what happens, good or bad

All of the attention and effort into building up the cult as a actual scary threat in the games was fantastic, I want more

>>14742299

>They're still slowly shuffling towards you and never actually rout

They run at a distance and then stop when nearby purely to make things slow enough for controller aiming.

They rout during the cabin fight.

They also clearly have enough higher faculties to prepare traps everywhere and coordinate things.

>>14742420

>They rout during the cabin fight.

They get called off, same as during the village fight.

>They also clearly have enough higher faculties to prepare traps everywhere and coordinate things.

Good point. They're not completely mindless, which makes them preferable to zombies, but they still don't have a will of their own.

>>14740848

>we will never get a good Dead Space game

1 and 2.

>>14742743

>3

Opinion discarded.

>>14740848

>cliff hanger ending

No anon, that WAS the ending.
