4 Things I wish would happen soon:
Spike401k | 5:00 PM on 03.28.2009 10 comments


To start this blog out, I wish to state my recent absence, noticed or unnoticed, was caused by the fact that I had to take apart my laptop, take everything out, and put it in a new case. This didn't take too long, but the computer didn't work when I was done (because I fail), and I had to call it quits that day. A day or two later I called up my older sister, who is better with computers, she drove here, opened it back up, fixed the problem, and now FINALLY my laptop is functional. Oh happy day! Thank god for a computer friendly family. Now, on to the subject at hand:

THE THINGS I WISH WOULD HAPPEN SOON:

1: A remake of Parasite Eve for PS3
I think now is the time for PE1 and PE2 to make a comeback. With the "3rd Birthday" (a sequel to PE2) coming out for PSP later this year, remakes of PE1 and PE2 would help get people excited for that. Also, Im tired of the graphics on the PS1 version, seeing as I switched from RE5 to PE today.

2: Another CGI Resident Evil Movie
Degeneration was a hit, it seems that everyone could agree to that (or at least everyone I've spoken to about it). So a sequel in the same style wouldn't be out of the question. It would make a good bit of cash for Capcom, and it would probably make a lot of fans happy. Now, I don't expect this within maybe 2 years, because, after all, we do want QUALITY. They need time to construct a story (Hopefully involving Berry, Rebeca, and/or Sherry), and animate. But I do hope they decide to do this soon.

3: More Books to be made into Games
Im not saying every book is game worthy, but while making this short list I remembered that PE is based off of a book of the same name. If they could make a hit like that once, Im sure that the gaming industry could do it again. There are plenty of great books that have potential to be great games.



4: TV Adaptions of Games
Come on, how often do you see those? Live action or Anime, it wouldn't matter to me, I just like to see a series over a movie sometimes. The last Anime adaption I saw was Devil May Cry, and ones such as the DMC Anime are few and far between.

I know this is a short list, but I would call that a good thing for myself. It means, for me, that most of the things I want have already happened, or are happening.

ehhhhh i wasn't a big fan of Degeneration. But, that doesn't mean i wouldn't want them to make another.

I bought PE for PSX when I first got a job at GameStop, I've never played it. It sits in my case of games.

TV adaptations could end up very poorly. You could end up with poor adaptations that just aren't right. Think Super Mario Bros. and it's awful show. If adaptations of any games are done, it should be done in Japan. The US would just destroy any game it would touch.

I agree with more books, although it may be tricky. Books almost always take advantage of the fact that there really doesn't need to be anything happening to be interesting. You could have entire chapters, dozens of pages, that are nothing but dialogue. Books aren't usually action packed because they don't need to be; no one demands any spectacle. While we are getting closer to being able to emulate this in games (or if you feel that the 90's adventure games may have already done this) like Mass Effect and the upcoming Alpha Protocol. It really all depends on the source material and how it's handled by the developers.

The other two on the list I really don't know anything about. Never seen RE:D or played PE.

At least Degeneration was much better than the live-action films.

The problem with branching out into other mediums is that the chance of something being lost in the transition is quite high. Would it be that hard to write a decent Resident Evil script? For a newcomer, it's going to be mixed. For someone who follows the series, it might be more faithful. The problem is that most people hired to do these adaptations aren't usually fans of what they've been assigned to recreate. The other factor is that the studio might want changes if it doesn't agree with them. So far most attempts are laughably bad to shruggingly mediocre.

LMAO,seriously,name any digital media bearing RE's name that has a "decent" script or story.Think real hard.Dont get me wrong,I enjoy the series as much as anyone,I played all the games and respect what the earlier ganes did for the industry,but I have really never associated RE's stories with nothing more than a block of cheese.

*shrug* To each his own. While the RE series does have a good story behind it, a lot of it comes from reading files and piecing everything together. That's the best thing is that most of the games tie together to weave an interesting story. Sure, it can be pretty cheesy, but that is some of its appeal.

A good movie can be done, but will there ever be a chance? Likely not. With the right script and direction, it might be a great flick.

 about me

Im a simple person. Blast a Zombie here, solve a puzzle there, you know, the usual. Ive been told Im smart, but I disagree to that. What I do know is I love a challenge, and I love a puzzle. So of course I love RE. Ive been playing Resident Evil for years, and Ive played every game made so far. I play many Zombie related games (L4D, RE, HotD, etc), but thats not all. I also enjoy anime, some manga (not too often), books, movies, and social interaction ("GASP! He goes outside!"). I spend a lot of times with friends, so If it takes me awhile between post thats most likely why.
Im big into the Horror Genre, so I'll most likely post about that at some point in time. Ive been reading this site for awhile, but finally made an account the other day, and now Ive come up with some things to say (Ha, that rhymes. Day/Say). Im full of ideas to post. Thats all for now =D.
