This remake is NOT a woke dumpster fire.

[Uncanny Moskvich]

Been seeing a lot of threads complaining about this lately. I repeat, the game is not a woke dumpster fire. The male ganados, female ganados, everyone gets hurt including Ashley. Annoying, but I could be bothered less by what tiny compromises capcom made to pander to annoying sjw's. Do I hate sjw's for this? Absolutely.

However I am just happy that my favorite resident evil got a remake, and true fans will feel the same too.

Define woke.

One of the controversial issues was that they changed Ada's dress to the sweater look. At at first glance it seems like a "woke" change. My opinion on that is this version of Ada is more sexy and attractive looking than the original. They kept her looks intact. Her outfit is just less revealing, but at the same time you can still SEE everything. Which was always the point, that she's crazy attractive and unobtainable. 9/10 adaptation for me. 10/10 if they used the original dress, but the new outfit is still good looking. A "woke" style adaptation would have taken away the high heels, and probably covered her torso with armor.

The Ashley changes are less good. Everything about her design wise is basically the same except her face and hair look terrible. I'm sure the real life model is perfectly good looking, but something about how they made it just looks weird. And her hair always just looks awful. The color looks grey in alot of situations where Leon's hair still looks blonde. Her voice is less annoying and her personality is still intact. 7/10 adaptation. Would be higher if her face wasn't screwed up. Again, I think that's poor craftsmanship, not a bad real life face.

Meanwhile Leon and Krauser remain entirely faithful to the original. They don't take away any of the crazy "manly" aspects. Their story and relationship is better told. They still have the manly knife fights and battle poetry style one-liners. They are still the classic action heroes they were before, except slightly smarter. 10/10.

Over all I think this time around they tried their best to have it both ways. The Resi 3 remake did alot more "reduction" in the sexyness of Jill and made her face weird looking too. And I think they over-corrected with how much they did. This time the changes they made were very smart and effective.

And finally 10/10 for gameplay because no cutscene QTE that kill you in .2 seconds.

No mascara running comment and a ptsd effected Leon was a pretty woke intro.

It's the Steam boards. The only thing people really do here is cry and moan that a games either not 10 dollars so they can afford it with their allowance or that they removed like, 2 voice lines about panties so now the whole games ruined.

My definition is probably outdated since the word has spun out of control, but I see it as intentionally doing things in an adaptation to make it more progressive than it originally was, but done in a dishonest way. Like trying to fake it. Because alot of times it's done in a way where you lose something (like sex appeal of character design) in exchange for nothing to replace that appeal.

Maybe I need a new word to fit my definition though because now people use it to mean "I don't like this" or "I disagree with the implied politics of this thing". But for now I think people kinda understand what is being said still.

The new Ada attire objectively makes more sense. She is trained spy. Why would she go on a secret mission in the Spanish countryside wearing a bright red dress?

The new outfit makes more sense, but I see it as mostly just because it's probably COLD up there on the mountain. She's still wearing heels, and still wearing bright red. But now she won't freeze to death.

It'd be nice if the people accusing the game of being "woke" even knew what the word means. Every time they use the word "woke", Lead Belly rolls in his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grave.

Ashley does say she'll catch a cold lol, but at the same time Leon is also not wearing a jacket and his arms are totally exposed he's basically just wearing a tight t-shirt.

To be fair, Leon did show up in a fairly warm jacket. The only reason he's running around in a t shirt is because a Ganado stole his outerwear.

Yeah but who knows what Ada showed up in initially? And Ashley was kidnapped.
Point being it's just dumb as hell how people are so overly concerned with this when it comes to female characters, but with male characters no one ever comments on it.

You can have a male and female character in a loincloth in a freezing environment and people will only make comments about the female character lol.
I don't think I've ever seen people think about whether a male character would be cold or not or whether what he wears makes sense.
But with female characters people all of the sudden pretend to care about what '' makes sense ''.

[Nirvash]

To be clear I would be perfectly happy if they remade the original dress. I'm just saying the sweater she wears DOES make more sense. Though my opinion is despite the change in attire, they still found a way to make a full turtleneck sweater look sexually appealing. Which is a good middleground between "objectification" bikini characters and "woke" female characters that look less feminine and less attractive than normal average IRL women.

All that said, Leons arms might get cold, but at least his chest and thighs are covered up still. So if you care about that detail, it still does make some thematic sense.
