Is this even about zombies anymore?

[Punished Terry]

I played a little of 6 and Revelations 2 and RE2
Even see a few movies.
I have seen nothing about this game, is it about zombies anymore?

[RabidDuckie]

The game series has always been about bio-organic weapons. Always. It may have had zombies in some and parasites in others, but it's always been about combating and surviving against bio-organic weapons.

It's even in the name Biohazard, and I really wish Capcom had never changed the name in the US version to Resident Evil but it couldn't be helped because it was the name of a pretty bad DOS game that had come out before.

Since this game is still about bio-organic weapons, it's still very much a Resident Evil game.

There were zombies in it but the RE games were never about the zombies. They've been about conspiracies and viruses. Arguably they aren't even true zombies, they're infected.

This guy gets it, Evil corporation, Evil Viris, Evil Mutated Beings, its all about the chemistry.

Well a zombie is an automaton. Or the un-dead. They qualify for both senses of the word.

It may not have been "about" zombies, but it had zombies galore in it for sure in 1,2,3 and 6 - plus in most of the spinoffs. (Btw one of the most overlooked good things of 6 was that it brought zombies back after 4 and 5 had dropped them.)

It has never been about zombies. Its all viruses and parasites and where to find them.

As I've said and other people who actually played Resident Evil before have said, Resident Evil was never about zombies.

It was about government cover-ups, conspiracy, genetic engineering, bio-weapons, viral engineering and the situations and ethics around those.

Zombies, T-virus infected humans, happened to be featured heavily in 7 of the 7 original style games. They also had a lot of bio-engineered creatures and humans in them, too.

So again, it was never about zombies.

On that note, the proper way to play the original RE games (not on easy mode) was to ignore and dodge all of the zombies whenever possible in order to conserve ammo so when you got to an actual boss like Yawn, or the Tyrants, you didn't die. So it was also never about killing zombies.

I'll just say that other that the perspective this game is more like the originals than 4-6. The Resident Evil series, especially the classics had you running into zombies the vast majority of the time, so when someone says Resident Evil was about the zombies, I can't really defy them that. Keyword being /was/.

Resident Evil was not about zombies? It totally was.

Hunters have been around since the very beginning. But you would know that if you actually had played RE1.

Ye but they were not main, fodder enemies. Zomb...humans infected with some virus while still looking human were.

He's just putting words into your mouth at this point.

"You didn't mention Hunters, man you haven't played RE1, totally."
He forgot about the dogs and giant spiders, clearly he has not played RE1 /sarcasm

[Ludus Aurea]

Cannon fodder. You weren't meant to go around killing them.

You'd have noticed that by the fact that literally the only advantage of killing them in RE0, RE1, RE2, RE3, RECVX, Outbreak and Outbreak 2 was that it was easier to run down a hallway.

It's not like RE4 where they dropped ammo and you literally had to kill enemies to proceed because it was a scripted event.

Do you also think Mario games are about goombas?

Gabe please do another AMA so I can ask "WHY CAN'T I +1 COMMENTS" ^

All today has done on this forum is remind me that the majority of gamers have no idea about anything, they don't understand games at all in the slightest bit.

Even one of the hundreds of generic zombie games, any given one, is not "about" zombies. Zombie driver isn't "about" running over and shooting zombies. Zombies Ate My Neighbors isn't "about" zombies.

Resident Evil was never about Zombies have you even played any of them?

No thanks, opinions should resonate by themselves not because someone said "I liked that." - It functions fine as it is so there's no need to fix what's not broken.

[Punished Terry]

My basicly thought of this thread is that i dont want RE to become SH, No paranomal stuff, just viruses and mutations. pesudo Sci-Fi.

[Octonaut]

a simple yes or no is all that was needed, is there shambling undead in this game?
