For example like you said the inventory was so fucking big there was zero challenge in that aspect. Honestly underneath all the vampire lady memes and hype and good graphics, it wasn't that good of a game. Also lacked the true RE music feel. Even in the remakes like RE2 and RE3 their new music pieces are mediocre compared to the classics in RE1,2,3,4.

Yea. They should have made the ship section WAY scarier than the rest of the games stages. I wanted a more creepy Silent Hill feeling to the Ship Stage and Factory Stage of both games. I wanted the Ship Stage to be longer, to have hiding sections and to have different and scarier monsters. I also wanted Evelin to actually be the creepy little girl we wanted her to be like maybe if the player spends a lot of time afk or spends way too much time alone she spawns and she’s right behind us breathing spelling doom if we try to look similar to Silent Hills PT. Maybe in some sections of the Ship we have to run away from her and you only hear the pitter patter of her hands and feet as she’s upside down on all fours chasing you. I’d also get rid of most if not all the dialog for her and even make the flashbacks of her less childish and in dark creepy parts of the ship. Maybe she leaves us letters and creepily scribbles on the walls/floor with chalk in the flashback. For the Factory I would have wanted to remove the Heisenberg dialogue on the way to the Factory, put up a bunch of fog as the game is getting darker, and have a longer time going through the scary ass dangerous Factory with different creepy monsters before we meet Heisenberg.

Both great games, but RE7 for me was a one-off experience, where after I beat the main campaign and completed the story DLCs, I never returned to it. RE8's inclusion of a New Game Plus and Mercenary Mode made it infinitely more replayable. I also prefer the enemy variety, setting, and yes, item management.

Village is better mainly because horror games like re7 are mainly only fun for the first time playing it, it’s obviously not as scary the second time playing. But a more action focused like village is still fun in the second or third time.

I prefer 7 over 8 because it feels more like a horror game, I like the story more, The Bakers are scarier than the four lords, I like the creepy atmosphere, It kinda like Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Evil Dead.

Village gives you the feeling of playing 4 again, and I think 7 gives you the feeling of playing REmake again. With 7 making you feel scared and helpless, and 8 making you feel little more capable. Of course Ethan isn't as cool as Leon. No one is as cool as Leon.

I enjoed 8 more than 7 overall, but i have to say, 7 has stronger characters and atmosphere. Honestly, the inability to skip cutscenes in 7 is a HUGE drawback. The way NG+ works is also way better in 8, you straight up keep everything you've collected in previous playthroughs (they should have kept the item boxes though, collecting weapons without it is a pain in the ass).

I truly regret not getting RE7 back in 2017-2020 and playing it back in January 2021 made me love it so freaking much! I already got its Platinum and wow, what an amazing game.

@Helluva Longgood I found the second game a lot scarier. The monsters were a lot more frightening to me. Also, I understand you may think the story sucked (I disagree but to each their own) but you can’t act like the first game’s story was really any better. The first game has Sebastian be this really dull and boring protagonist who was said to be a reckless detective ruined by alcoholism, but you never really felt that since he seemed so stoic and in control all the time. Evil Within 2 really makes Sebastian feel like the desperate, guilt-ridden fallen hero he was described as in the journals of the first game. Also, in the second game he is an active protagonist who seeks out the the danger to save his daughter. He actually has a personal connection to the narrative and therefore a more concrete motivation, unlike the first game that was a wrong place at the wrong time kind of deal. It’s totally fine if you prefer the first game, the fan base is split pretty 50/50 since both games are so different, but I struggle to say either game “sucked” because ultimately it’s just down to personal preference.

I love both games but I much prefer 8. The enemy variation is so bad in 7 that it hurts replayibility. Also can't skip cutscenes, that sucks. Eight is more peaks and valleys of scary, with its peaks topping 7. Also Ethan has much more personality and agency in 8 compared to 7 and that did a lot for my enjoyment. Also to answer your question, in the Tragedy of Ethan Winters concept art, yes the developers toyed with bringing back the item box but felt the inventory being more RE4 was the better choice. I personally prefer it this way but its preference.

Revisiting 7 after playing 8 so many times ruined 7 for me. I’m so used to the action that Village hurdles onto you 24/7, that I couldn’t really get into the vibe 7 was giving. I still give props to 7, though, as Its one of my favorites.

Great video! I don't miss the item box as much in Village cause it's trying to be RE4, it traded item boxes with the case, tho, that game doesn't have the same amount of ammo drops so it's never an issue so it feels a bit unused, like, I ran with the second upgrade until Heisenberg. RE7 is the better game, I like Village a lot tho, cause i got really good at it, same with RE4 I know where everything is and its fun to speedrun it, not professionally, just, play it really fast, the gun swapping Doom shooting is especially neat, but 7 is just basically as close to RE1Remake as it got in design. And yeah, the boat sucks, but here's the thing about the boat, this one time i stopped playing when i got to the boat for like, a year, and when i came back it dawned on me that the Boat would be great if it was standalone! If it was part of the DLCs, Mia's DLC, you wouldn't lose the momentum as much in the main game (I'm a cave defender, you just, have so much ammo and you can let loose as all the classic RE's does, the environment is poop but i like the game part of it), but yeah, Boat would be good if it was stripped off the main game, cause it is a little entire game on its own. I don't like Ethan Must Die Tho, that was the most frustrating unfun mode I've ever played, it'd be fine but the big guys ruin it, the jenk vomiting always gets me.

@Brupcat I don't think village was being 100% RE4 tho', it feels like a mix of a survival horror, unlike RE4 I WAS struggling for ammo for a while. It lacks crowd control, it doesn't have as many onscreen enemies (It used to on tests), the enemies aren't easy to stun either. In many ways the combat feels much less in your control compared to RE4, so even tho it lacks the inventory management, the ammo conservation is still there, which wasn't there in RE4 as much. If I open village right now, with my 50 hour knowledge of it, and play it on hard, i'll still have to struggle for ammo, if I pick up RE4 right now i'll knife the entire game. I would describe Village as what they wanted the player to feel in RE4, overwhelmed, with odds stacked against you, cutscene Leon in the intro was always running, always overwhelmed in the village, but player Leon was knifing crowds, yknow what i mean?

Wait until you go to head towards the 4th lord - the action section there is so heavy-handed and over-the-top - I really enjoyed Village but I thought the game started to go downhill after beating the 2nd lord as it just fully embraced its action-heavy gameplay and kind of abandoned any attempt at scaring you

I will agree that I totally wish there was more inventory stress in RE8. I want to do a playthrough where I don't upgrade my case, I think that would help a bit. RE8 and RE7 are both total masterpieces, but something about 8 really personally vibes with me more. The horror mechanics, the disorientation, the emotion, the variety, the plot, the RE4 throwbacks, the horror book homages Stoker, Shelley, Stephen King, Clive Barker, etc. To me, it definitely had a much more powerful, emotional, and horrifying plot than 7

Groovy!

If you look at the concept art in village they were gonna have item boxes at one point

RE7 is an unforgettable masterpiece, that kept what made RE RE and branched out. With incredible antagonists and ambiance it was actually scary.. RE8 was good for a "after RE4 Resident Evil game"...tried to please everyone and tried to be more accessible...RE7 kept that survival horror niche to it, but also took risks..RE8 tried to be a more bland - less scary and more welcoming to the fortnight crowd / people that don't play survival horror games. I don't know why Capcom would try to fix something that isn't broke with RE8. Re7 sold over 10 million, I'd be surprised if RE8 ever hits that.

In my opinion, I really enjoyed the gameplay loop of village, but didn’t enjoy 7 as much. 7 does horror really well, and the parts where Jack was following you around the house were really intense, and village was lacking in horror, of course other than the dollhouse and the castle. Overall I’d replay 8 before I’d replay 7, just because of gameplay alone, because it felt like 8 was more of a game, 7 was more of a horror experience

I have a preference for 7 personally, as much as I like the lords- and I really like the lords- I think the Bakers are just more fun and interesting. The lords are just assholes who hate each other sitting under the same monarch, the bakers were a close knit family torn to shreds by an outside force. And the end of 8 just felt like a slog, hated what happened to Ethan and the epilogue with Rose. Makes the fight in the factory seem pointless considering that in the end Chris did exactly what Ethan risked life and limb to keep from happening- turning his daughter into a bioweapon.

I think Chris has become seriously derailed as a character after RE5. I never found him particularly interesting but these days he’s just unlikable. Unfortunately Capcom thinks Chris is the only reason people play RE games now.

@Ankita Nair most the time you say anything negative about Chris the general feedback is”Chris is a legend!! His character has had incredible development!! Chris is RE!!RHEEEEE!!!!”After having this generic all American hero shoved down our throats in every sequel since RE5, I literally don’t care if he lives or dies.

@@Spantzcatdog ay no shit talking Ethan on my comment, he's like one of my favorite protags rn I love him

So far it seems a debate between being more into claustrophobic horror or a one man vs the world type game. There's no real way to tell which is better. If you like tight horror, you'll say 7 is better, if you like replayability and exploration with action you'll say 8

If you pre-order you can play Madhouse right of the bat.

Wanna scare yourself and give yourself consecutive heart attacks, play 7. Wanna have enjoyable gun fights and a great story, play 8. I think I made it clear enough

I thought 8 had one of the weakest stories in the franchise. It wasn’t a shock to me at all that Mia was still alive and none of the characters were particularly memorable except for Heisenberg.

What about Chris's dlc and end of zoey dlc? Also the mia dlc, should cover those as well, cuz end of zoey is AMAZING

The real answer is RE2remake. And yeah, RE7 was a one time experience for me. I'm not planning on playing that again even thought it's an excellent survival horror game. Village is more replayable

I haven't played since it came out and I'm not done 8 yet (I'm at the Moreau stuff) but I feel like 7 lost steam for me, like ship section onwards, 7 went from "this is kinda awesome" to "yeah it's alright"

Very bold(er) of you.

i've played many RE games, but i dont feel like replaying RE7 at all. not because scary or anything. i just dont feel like it, at least not yet

see, for a crazy fan sine the start in early 90s, RE7 is a great homage to 70s taxes chainsaw massacre era with similarity to RE1 but ruined by last act which it was a let down. also it has same repetitive NPC over and over. But it still one of the best and creepy RE8 is the RE4 kinda sequel we need, it just needs extra Mikami touch but it has everything you need, horror, action, nonsense, story is meh but the rest are awesome and the variety of different NPCs is excellent Bosses are easy but cool and fun, also it has many different places and atmospheres, from Horror in a Castle to the adventure in open era then Cyberpunk feel near the end But Chris last act was kinda meh but its ok cus its way too short. overall, both games are a must and different its like playing RE1 and RE4 sorry for my english

I hope this statement ages greatly : We will see the DLC announced tonight.

I prefer Village but there are aspects of 7 that I enjoy more. Both are fantastic games.

I think in terms of a pure focused experience, RE7 was better by far. It managed to create the perfect tense and challenging yet overcomeable atmosphere and sustained it throughout the entire game. Whereas RE8 is all over the place.

Village just isn't survival horror. I was very disappointed.

U misspelled Patreon at the end :-)

Both are amazing, but I prefer 7😎

Village was way too easy. Never was even close to running out of ammo. Always could heal.

RE7 I played 2 times and had enough. And the extra modes felt... stressing. RE8 I can't get enough of. RE7 reminds me of Outlast and Amnesia sometimes and I'm not the biggest fan of those games.

Well re4 didn't have item box but it was enjoyable

The i find really of putting is that village feels like resident evil 4 remake just with diffrent story and enemies and i am worried for re because as you remember when re started going into action it started going wrong idk i didnt really like villige it felt to much like outlast with guns

RE4 introduced action but still was perfectly balanced between intimate atmospheric horror vibe. RE5 and 6 is where it went full on action and lost its RE soul. RE4 is not to be diminished just cuz it lead the series onto the wrong path. RE4 was the best path the series has been on still and never has a game had the perfect execution and balance of elements as RE4. Village was mediocrity underneath all the Vampire Lady marketing and memes and graphics

My favorite RE

I'd still rather play 5&6 mercenaries any day, especially no mercy in 6. Soo addicting with a friend

I enjoyed re7 much more than village! But village was still entertaining to play just not as scary, only the Mia doll and the baby that chases you really scared me!

I really thing 7 is better cause of it's lore but, for the quality and able to skip cutscenes that is where 8 kicks in.

Resident Evil 3 remake review soon??

I did the same

Yknow I played re8 and then played re7 and then 8 again and boy did that story go off the rails

A lot of people saying resident evil 7 is better, but really I think it’s too early to say. As it needs more time to consume. Nostalgia is a big factor

@Jon Yu yeah at least unlike Village it had a good story and actually had interesting characters. It definitely had its flaws and was inferior compared to the OG game but I still had fun. I I was mostly just happy to finally play as Jill again even if it was a remake. Now if we could just get her back in an actual sequel. RE9 would be the perfect opportunity but the writing these days seems so incompetent, I wouldn’t be surprised if she got the shaft again. I’m just so sick of having Chris and Leon shoved down our throats when this series is full of iconic characters.

They are both kind of underwhelming in retrospect, Village moreso. I'm of the opinion that the DLC saved RE7. End of Zoe, Bedroom, 21 are more fun than anything in the main campaign. Village has better level design even if the progression isn't well thought out. I think has more good parts to it than RE7, but still suffers the same problems as that game: being too heavily scripted and lacking gameplay variety between playthroughs. Well, I guess we will see how well the Village DLC does.

Capcom should be ashamed of re8

7 > Village

To me; 7 is the better horror game, but 8 is the better RE game. Love em both, dont get me wrong. But if i wanted RE; id go for village, and if i wanted horror; id play 7 or alien isolation

@@mtb5431 there was a massive lack of environmental and atmospheric variety too. running around in the Village for those treasures felt like i was playing a fucking MMO/RPG. Zero music, zero changes in the weather or ambiance. The devs trying to insert some pseudo-open-world feel just feels like a case of doing something just to follow a trend or try to make something feel "next-gen". There's even insiders/whistleblower saying they plan to make RE4 semi-open world. FUCK THAT. The semi-open-world aspect of Village was the most tedious, boring, and de-immersive part of the game. Trying to insert some half-assed open-world element into the specifically paced and progressing linear masterpiece RE4 is, would just fuck it up completely.

@Jon Yu summed it up in a way I never could. Besides it’s boring storyline yeah it’s just a slog getting through. It creates the allusion of open world like Telltale games grant the allusion of choice. Notice how trendy it’s becoming to hate on RE4? Only thing Village has over RE4 is graphics but RE4 blows it away in the gameplay department. RE4’s boss battles are just so unforgettable and creative. Village’s are mostly cutscenes and despite being the only interesting character, Heisenberg’s boss fight might be the biggest shark jumping moment in the series so far. Also RE4’s story is just damn good fun. Village’s is a mystery hinging on a predictable answer (is Chris friend or foe) and a twist that’s kinda forced. Also saw Mia being alive coming from a mile away, just couldn’t predict how obviously lol

@Ankita Nair I’m talking about all the extra hate RE4 started getting when Village came out. But yeah it really did suck that the fall of Umbrella happened offscreen. That lame bonus chapter in Umbrella Chronicles was hardly a satisfying conclusion. I blame RE5 for ruining the lore though. RE4 kinda stood on its own and didn’t add anything to the existing mythology of the series. RE5 added BS like Spencer wanting to use all the research to achieve godhood and the Wesker children. Sadly a lotta RE fans seem to love all that.

Re8 is better because of the waifus😎
