Well Capcom ain't no James Cameron and if the last 2 animated movies are anything to go on, this one will be another action flick.
It's not, though. The people who made those movies are no longer alone. Hiroyuki Kobayashi was the producer in those two movies but now Takashi Shimizu has taken his place and along with him are a few good storytellers who weren't there before, either, and they even got the original Japanese composer for the Ring film.
Though the trailer did give off some horror elements so while it is still an action movie, it's at least trying to keep the Resident Evil part of it.
Yeah, I did, too. I actually got and actual RE vibe from this trailer. I kinda have actual expectations for this one. The other ones were an ok distraction. Really flawed in some fundamental aspects so I wouldn't go out of my way to own them but I'll watch them if they're on TV, and they do pop up on the Mexican movie channels every now and then.
While the only thing Resident Evil about RE7 is the slapped on name.
I'm willing to give it a chance but I do get the feeling that RE7 is the kind of game I rather watch on YouTube than to actually play. I've mentioned that before, but if the game impresses me while watching it and I get curious or surprised enough I might just go buy it.
Thing is, at this point I've accepted the fact that Leon, Chris and the main stars of Resident Evil are now the kind of characters who are gonna go all John Matrix on the zombies and B.O.Ws in their adventures.
It's still nice to see them in horror situations though.
Well... After RE2 things kinda went that way. The game's characters in 1 were pretty basic people, just look at how they all reacted to the zombie dogs at the beginning, but when Kamiya, who isn't one for horror, directed 2 the direction altered a bit. 3 was a bit more like the original but from Code Veronica on the games' leads got more and more bad ass. With 4 it wasn't so bad because even though Leon was a bit too full of one liners he still got put through the ringer, beaten, stabbed, infected, so there was still a pretty clear sense of vulnerability. I miss that. I don't really want to split from the 80's B movie one liners but I do wish the protagonists were more vulnerable.
