mfnick Posted Saturday at 18:28 Share Posted Saturday at 18:28 Fucking *SIGH* I hope to God not. Fuck every bugger budget game being fucking open world. Fuck off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted Saturday at 18:46 Share Posted Saturday at 18:46 Lol... that post does not disappoint. Just think of all the herb collecting you could do.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted Saturday at 19:08 Share Posted Saturday at 19:08 The problem isn't with open world games, it's about games putting content ahead of craft. But there's lots of open worlds which don't do this You know, I bet Nag would agree with me, but Dragon's Dogma's item box and adventuring mechanics would work really well with a Resident Evil game. The way you have to plan, and can get caught out in night, you can see the Resident Evil DNA in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted Saturday at 19:30 Share Posted Saturday at 19:30 Open World RE = Outbreak 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted Saturday at 19:37 Share Posted Saturday at 19:37 Tbf @one-armed dwarf I do agree with you... it could be a great way to spice up things, especially if it was a city setting and building interiors were used... wide open spaces interspersed with tight locations could really ramp things up.

AndyKurosaki Posted Saturday at 21:13 Share Posted Saturday at 21:13 I wouldn’t be thrilled with an open world, as so few of them are actually any fun. Too many go “let’s have a massive map”, and then fill it with sod all. Or go the Ubisoft route of filling the map with an eye bleeding amount of icons, to the point where i go “I can’t be arsed”. I gave up on Elden Ring because of its open world confusing nature. Ditto the latest Zelda game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted Saturday at 21:23 Share Posted Saturday at 21:23 I'm not against it, but I don't want it. My favourite RE game is still RE7 because I like the haunted house stuff. I feel like a lot of that will be lost in an open world game. Although from what I played of it, Evil Within 2 was pretty good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted Saturday at 21:45 Share Posted Saturday at 21:45 Resident Evil Village was already a step in the direction of an open world... just smaller than what we generally think of as "open world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted Saturday at 22:18 Share Posted Saturday at 22:18 The thing is, you want some friction and danger with a Resident Evil game. I guess you also want some sense of direction, but frankly I thought Alan Wake 2's sort of more free structure shows that a different approach can work. The thing that's great with Dragon's Dogma is how poorly laid plans can fuck you up, in exactly the same way that a poorly prepared run from one side of the mansion to the other can. Admittedly, a ton of the appeal of these games lies in their intimately laid out hallways and shortcuts. But even a game like DD can do stuff like that, just in a different way. Perhaps that's all recency bias, but in either case I think it's a mistake to think of all OW games as having a similar approach or being dismissive of such an experiment. There are definitely more games than Ubisoft icon cleanups. There's very different types of OW that can still have pushback and consequence. It's something Resident Evil hasn't really tried either, and I think it's in a bit of a stale position right now, relying on remakes and the Ethan stuff has really sort of petered out. Like, if you're a fan of classic RE, FPS RE, action focused RE or even VR RE, every single one of these tastes has been very well served the past few years so imo there's not much to complain about here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted Saturday at 22:26 Share Posted Saturday at 22:26 I like open world games and would still play it. But when thinking of RE it’s not the top of the list thing I would want. I’m still open to it, though. No hating here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted Saturday at 22:54 Share Posted Saturday at 22:54 All I'll say in regards the the last few posts... never mention Alan Wake and Resident Evil in the same sentence ever again thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
