Taking away Salazar's Tri-Corne hat is also a disservice. Though I figure because not only having a midget laugh at you isn't corny enough, they put the hat on him to make him a true Napoleon complex. Make his voice more "realistic" (spit) and taking away the hat and you suddenly have a serious Castellan who is a threat... or something.

The best part of Salazar is that he's some weird-ass 18th Century midget who can't deal with the fact some American keeps wrecking his plans. Resident Evil seriously needs to go back to its B-movie roots, none of this "Muh realistic survival horror". Now, I think we can all agree Chris engaging in boulder-punching was a little over the top (B horror, not B action Capcom), but engaging in a basement chainsaw duel with Jack Baker using copies of Ash's infamous Deadite killer is about just right.

I used to hate the boulder punch, now I see it as a rallying cry for fuck your realistic, gritty and GROUNDED bullshit. I've made my opinion known of not particularly liking the direction the series took but holy shit would I rather go back to the days of RE6 than this.

I want exaggerated characters with exaggerated unrealistic outfits.

There does need to be a balance, though. Do we really want to be railgunning some implausibly large Nemesis-thing with a gun that recoils so hard it breaks the concrete but not Jill's legs?

Person: I don't like Jessica's outfit, she has a bare leg and the whole point of a wet suit is to help keep your body heat in so you don't freeze and she's swimming around in ocean water that is no doubt close to freezing and...

Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Yes there needs to be balance, but even late 00s early 10s Capcom wouldn't have a 110lb woman pick up a 2,000lb railgun. You still have the dark gritty "realistic" bullshit for 99% of that game and THEN it throws physics out the window. RE4-6 all don't take themselves seriously. RE2R-RE3R live up their own ass and never break character. I'm not trying to be harsh on RE2R as there's more good in the game than bad, but marginally since half the game is missing. I can almost accept it for what it was if it actually had a B side.

Exactly. I don't want realism in a series for character appearances and suck all the character out of it. Chris in RE5 is a fucking tank but it served a purpose. They started toning him down in RE6 and then it's gone entirely in RE7. But, was slowly brought back in every appearance since which is mostly movies.

I fucking knew they were going to normify Krauser in the remake.

Is it true they drastically altered the merchant's appearance and catchphrase or is that just a rumor?

If so that's fucking nuts to change literally the most memorable and meme worthy thing from the original game.

Nah, he still goes "Whatta you buyin'" and looks the same as ever. His voice though is a bit more... piratey if that makes sense.

Agreed. I'm with you on Krauser too. The whole point of his appearance was that he was some roid-raging badass who didn't need anything tacticool to kick your ass, just a big-ass knife.

One of the things I don’t like about modern games is how they all try to look photorealistic. Games used to have a somewhat hand drawn artstyle, which Final Fantasy is one of the only franchises that still does this as far as I know.
Take a look at Saddler.

It doesn’t matter how good you make your graphics look, there will always be one I’ll prefer just because it has a style to it that isn’t the boring photorealistic look of today.

If I wanted to look at something photorealistic I’d just watch a movie or go outside.

Another thing I liked how old Saddler was that he didn't even give away that he was more than human until him killing Luis. Like, you see him in the church and you know something is off but it's not clear.

In this, his fucking eyes are glowing. The japs used to set the standard for subtly.

I wonder how they'll completely fuck up his transformation. He was just a gigantic third grade Las Plagas spider thing that would come out of the Ganado and it fits the evolutionary chain of what's built up throughout the game. He'll be something like that dogshit final Nemesis form because IT HAS TO BE EPIC FOR THE ADHD GAMER

If there’s one thing capcom can’t do now, it’s subtlety. Remember how early Nikolai was revealed to be EVIL in RE3R.

100% I bet you they'll cuck his mutant form too. It MIGHT turn out cool, but if recent trends have shown with Capcom dumbing down their mutant designs...

I mean, I'm still gonna play it (Got the deluxe edition for Christmas), but by god mods will fix like half this games problems. Dialogue I am not so sure about, unless somebody goes the extra mile and puts the old dialogue back in.

Watch they turn his knife arm into a fucking gun.

Also I want to mention this, but I can't help but think of Tokyo Gore Police everytime I see his arm knife.

They'll neuter him like they neutered Super Tyrant Mr. X

I hated his redesigned super form immediately with his dumb spiked lobster tail arm. Krauser will either have a puny knife arm, or it'll be something else entirely because god fucking forbid you don't reinvent the wheel over and over.

We don't know how good we had it.

I half hate the redesign I think the part of his face missing looks awesome. and I think keeping the pants and bottom of the coat is okay. But I hate how only one of his arms is transformed like he some bootleg of the Jabberwock from CV. IMO They should have Replace his middle and arms with the old version but keep the rest.

I also hate the cut scene where he turns into this in the remake. Like those explosions don't look powerful enough to fuck him up so bad his suit breaks and he mutates let alone blow part of his face off. Look at how it makes him stumble a bit and then boom next time we see him like 30 seconds later he turned into that?

The original has the excuse of him falling into a MOTHER FUCKING POT OF HOT SLAG AND STILL LIVING. Mr Soy here can barely take a few explosions before he chimps out.
The only reason I can fathom why they went this route. It's to make it bit more believable that the rocket launcher can insta kills him.


I have always head canoned the remake version as his arm started to mutate so rapidly it stole part of his face/

I totally get that. Him having half his face blown off is a nice touch but it's bogged down with his stupid flaccid arm. I like the idea of an imperfect monster in the series. I can think of Proto Tyrant being busted, having an exposed spinal column and twitching. Those little additions make it infinitely more cool than T-002 imo but that's not to say I don't love T-002 too, especially it's super form on the heliport. Nemesis kinda falls into that too since he has one eye. But he has one eye since they based him on Sagat. Then Nemesis gets so fucked up his head literally falls off and he just turns into a bigger form of the parasite that was controlling his brain.

The thing that bugged me with remake X was all the Tyrants had a limiter that would keep them from mutating, but it was disengage and they would have some type of transformation. T-002 turned more red (I assume from it's two hearts, one in and one out, both going into overdrive) and he became more aggressive. Mr. X in the original turns into a two clawed T-002 basically. But in the remake he gets a crab arm. It's just a very meh change and not dramatic enough for what's been established. But then you get the reverse with Nosesis turning into a dog that doesn't even fit with his own lore.

I also really hate dog nemsis as well. Dog nemesis reminds me too much of Re6. Don't get me wrong here, I love re6. Seeing another giant dog boss loses it's luster after how insane the rest of the simmons fight was on top of the dog form. Also fuck the redesign waste acid room. I just like the original more compact tons of garbage and bodies laying around look far more. In the remake all I see is a reason to make you fight the clocktower dog fight again but slightly changed. And Carlos helping you during it by telling you what tank to shoot like you are a 5 year old watching sesame street urks me as well.
