I hate gore. Really. I will never understood the fascination from people to gore and blood.
Despite that RE4 remake looks awesome.

Also, looking at you TLOU 2.

I like it purely for adding to the realism, it accentuates the audio/visual feedback of hitting a target.

Can’t really complain about blood and gore in a game where you regularly shoot and stab people.

Go play Gran Turismo if it’s not for you!

I mean it’s horror game about fighting infected, what exactly did you expect? It’s like you go watch Evil Dead movie and complain about having too much gore and blood.

If you hate blood and gore then you shouldn’t be playing games thats called Resident Evil.

Would it be more realistic shooting without seeing blood and marks on enemies?

You know the answer.
I guess my reaction was "how realistic is Resident Evil?" And my answer to that is "not at all" so something "adding to the realism" of something by adding fairly cartoonish and unrealistic violence doesn't do much to increase the realism.

But yes, blood and marks.

While still a downgrade from RE2R they hit a good sweet spot taking into account other factors. We see mostly bullet holes likely due to puny start game arsenal, but then parry can blow off limbs and there are clearly multiple dismemberment spots around the torso which should get more visible with firepower upgrades.

No. 1 most pleasant surprise for me was dead ganados don't just vanish after killed, you can really make a mess and shockingly enough they have some collision piling up.
TLOU for example has a limit of 8 or 9 bodies in an encounter (both games, same on PS3 as on PS5...) which totally kills the immersion for me. I'd love to see someone check how long they remain in the scene here.

Yes there is tons of clipping but still no "cloud of dust" cop-outs I expected, at least for now.

EDIT: Nope, they vanish in a fucking cloud of smoke.

The gorier the better! That's one of the reasons i love Calisto Protocol and i can't wait for Dead Island 2 , Re2remake was going the right direction with the gore and Re3remake was a huge let down in that department.

I hate gore. For RE4 the original or this remake, it doesn’t bother me as it looks video gamey to me. TLoU2 is a different story as that game is gore porn by design perfected from reference videos to a disturbingly realistic level that it is just… depressing.

Gotta say, the detailed gore gets a bit too much when the enemies look more lively than regular zombies. If it was optional I'd turn it off.

No joke Sherlock.

Do you realize that horror movie can be scary without being gore ? (Like The Conjuring)
Horror have many faces, not only gore and blood, maybe try to open this narrow point of view.

Also, if you read better my message, I said "I will never understood the fascination from PEOPLE to gore and blood" (corrected the typo), and you will also notice that I wrote "I hate gore", not "I can't any play any game with gore".
But the thing it that back in time gore was not so realistic as today, so it was bearable, but the more tech evolve, the more the gore is extremely gore and precise.

That was only a random though, what exactly did you expect ?

Also, please don't tell me what games "I shouldn't play", I mean telling that because title contains "evil" it means that we should expect "gore and blood", that's... nevermind, I prefer to laugh about that.

Sure, but Residents Evil is specifically about you fighting against zombies, which involves blood and gore 100% of the time.

I would say Fatal Frame is better choice for you if you want horror with less gore and blood.

I don't know how old are you, but do you remember RE back in time on PS and even the remake on GameCube ?
Gore was not really a thing, we saw a splash of blood then zoombies felt on the floor (with maybe some exceptions I don't remember).

Things are now so different and "too" detailed (that's only a opinion).

Will take a look at Fatal Frame, thanks for the hint.


its a zombie game bro
I know bro, please check my others replies to understand better.
He thought its pepa pig style
My bad, I thought it was a Pokemon spinoff, my life has been a lie.

The conjuring is a comedy. That film was as frightening as a tribble.

Also your claims that RE1 didn't have blood and gore? It had plenty of it. It just couldn't be rendered in as strong of detail due to the constraints of the hardware at the time. Your strange aversion to this is more telling than peoples fascination with it.

Yes? When you smack someone with a baseball bat, do you expect them to ragdoll out of bounds, or their skulls to cave in? If you shoot someone, do you expect them to just flop over instantly or do you expect feedback from the shotguns pellets ripping and tearing through flesh and bone?

Love how you totally omitted the part from my post only to serve your purpose.

OH.MY.TOAD.
This part from a CINEMATIC is so gore and realistic, I'm not sure I can handle it.

Are we finished or still want to pretend you didn't get my point ?

I'm afraid you're not all things considering ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*for you*

No, I didn't claimed that. I said gore was not really a thing.
It just couldn't be rendered in as strong of detail due to the constraints of the hardware at the time.
That's my point. It was not a thing because of this.

For its time with limitation of PSOne, it was pretty gory game, so as the visuals gets better, the game naturally will have more realistic gore.

You are asking why people like gore and blood in their games because its thrilling and fun. You are free not to like them but if you are getting a game like Resident Evil or any game that has Zombies and infected you should expect gore.

If that sound "mean" to you I'm sorry I guess?

No problem, it's okay. Let's move on.

Actually, I was not asking, it was only a random though saying I will never understand the fascination from people to it but I hear your point and totally respect that your like that. It's okay, who I am to say otherwise anyway ?

Again, it's just that back in time gore was not a thing, to me, I could not believe AT ALL what I was seeing so it had no effect to me, and RE was more about jumpscares and atmosphere, again, for me. But nowadays it's a totally different story with the tech we got, the gore is so real and believable to the point I'm feeling uncomfortable with it. I wish we got options to limit it because RE was never *only" about gore and blood, there is so many others aspects to like. RE4 was and is such a great action/adventure game. That's it buddy.

The original RE games had as much gore as the PSX would allow.

In RE1, Hunters could chop your head off, or slice your eyes off your face.

In RE2, William's Embryos would literally burst through the host's chest, ripping them in HALF.

I get that you don't like gore, but the RE games were ALWAYS gory. It's just that 32-bit tech wasn't good enough to portray that gore in a graphical enough manner to be visually upsetting to most people. But the ideas and the implementation was always there.
 
I actually dont think in this case its lighting, but low poly assets and animations, apart from the ragdolls introduced in RE2 remake, the animations look pretty much the same as RE5.
I see your point. I guess what instantly stuck out to me in OP’s clip was the flat lighting in the interior sections. That’s an immediate tell in todays world that either the person isn’t playing on max settings, or the lighting isn’t where it needs to be for a realistic looking game.
