imagine a zombie horror game that didn't have cutscenes
all the carefully crafted spooky sections would fail because the player would be looking in the other direction while he crawled through

I like worth a buy but recently it feels like Mac just says some random negative shit because that's what everyone expects him to say.

The only small complaint I have besides the blurry washed out look, is the constant inventory management on item pickup, especially annoying when picking up ammo which is a lot of times. I know this is a running thing in the RE series, but it's outdated by now and just a bit idiotic that you have to manually combine and stack ammo every single damn time, when it should be obvious that when I pick up ammo from the same type, I want it to stack with the existing one automatically. It's really an unecessary step forced on the player.

If I had to complain, that would definitely be one of the issues. The light is kind of funny, it doesn't seem dark enough in some areas. |
It looks very bad on my monitor, and my monitor tracks well 2.2 gamma (ideal), so I'm not happy at all. 
| Interinactive wrote: | | Too much ammo |
This I hope can be fixed by playing on the highest possible difficulty in the final game. I played RE7 on the normally-only-unlocked-for-Game+ Madhouse difficulty to have a challenging game, but from the datamining that people have done, it doesn't seem like there will such a mode for this.
But in RE2 you always had lots of ammo and the game was on the easy side (provided you were familiar with the RE tropes and mechanics from the first game, i.e. don't shoot everything that moves, consume herbs when you are near death, do not underestimate the mid-level enemies, i.e. Lickers, etc.) But I hope for something more challenging this time around.
(RE2 "Nightmare" mode was great in the original game.)

This threw me off as well, Leon was moving too fluidly should I say? And something was off about this fluidity, like it didn't quite belong in this game, I think it felt like FPS movement but from a TPS camera, which makes sense - after all this a "mod" of sorts of RE7.
I was also taken aback with how easy it was to land exploding headshots.

I wish I could say the same.

Agreed, this is ridiculous.

It helps and I prefer it over the alternative, but none of us have a BT.709 monitor. So it screws up the gamma in other ways.
By the way, RE7 had the same problem, just not this evident and I could stomach the sRGB setting in that game, and RE6 was a big mess with the gamma as well (whole areas are bathed in darkness).

Probably because they don't want people to become too familiar with it, and when they get the full game blast through the police station, which is maybe the most iconic location of the whole series (or #2 after the RE1/make mansion).

Nope, they start with 8 slots both. In scenario A you could pick up a backpack and expand your inventory, but if you took it, then it wouldn't be available when you played scenario B.
Same with an SMG that was in the same area.
If you played Claire A/Leon B (the most canon combination), it makes sense to pick up the SMG for Claire, who has the shitty bowgun only, and instead leave the backpack for Leon, who already had access to the always trusty shotgun by then.

The guy is getting more inconsistent with every review. He (usually) has a point, still, but he complains about horrible console controls in one game, while ignoring it completely in others (his GOTY is RDR2).
The same with AssCreed Origins and Oddyssey. He hated Origins because of the microtransactions in a SP game, but he loved Odyssey, where this was even worse (more grind).
Not to mention his review on The Witcher 3, which was all about controls and combat (no one denies this are the weakest elements of the game), ignoring every other aspect of the game. But he loved Hellblade, which did everything even worse regarding combat and controls (for a game that has nothing but combat ). I still watch his videos to get a general impression, but ever since he got that fucking bell (whoever told him that was a good idea & funny was major troll  ), he's become a sell-out.

RE7 had adaptive difficulty too for each difficulty setting. They confirmed saving with ink ribbons for higher difficulties, so it's not going to be just the "adaptive" stuff.

No sarcasm—I hate Japcrap! I hate the aesthetics, I hate the ugly graphics, I hate the terrible storytelling, I hate the terrible gameplay, I hate the fucking fonts they use, I hate their fucking cars, I hate their fucking "j"Arr Pee Gees, I hate their terrible PC controls. Different cultures and all. h
Some of Nintendo's games, namely Mario, Wario manage to escape the japcrap territory for the most part. But that could be nostalgia.

It changed a bit in the 80's and 90's but far as the actual gaming culture goes it's probably always catered to certain categories and elements so you have these weird fan-service moments in titles and then the popularity with teenage characters or school settings.
Transition to full 3D 32-bit new-generation consoles was also a bit rough, work environment and conditions could be terrible from what info I've dug up and the whole honor thing and cultural stance on certain aspects weren't helping such as working yourself to exhaustion including physical and mental health problems. Think there's even a term for that.
For Resident Evil itself I guess it's a bit of a culture clash, they see it as some darker serious horror game but anyone who has seen the RE1 intro well even without the campy voice acting in English it just comes across as a goofy over the top B horror story.
And then it gets weirder and weirder as the formula is experimented with and they make more games and spin-off titles.

Yeah the first 3 games are like B *western* horror movies.
Code Veronica introduces the Japanese animuuu aesthetic and melodrama, and this continues until 6. 7 again loses the Japanese stuff.
And I much prefer the more "western" take off RE1-3 and 7, although I can't lie 4 is so damn fun.

4 is incredibly polished although I wonder how much the Gamecube deal back then and three exclusives on top of that harmed the franchise and Capcom though RE4 itself sold incredibly well but the lead behind it even came out and apologized to the fans for Capcom's decision when they overruled that some years later and made ports for other consoles.
(That initial PC port was ASS but the re-release fixed a lot of that thankfully and then there's also mods.)
5 and 6 just turn into a shooter with focus on co-op and some really weird scenes when the devs seem to compete with making one over the top moment after another and trying to best each other so it gets ridiculous after a while even if the early trio already had some setpieces too but not to that extent.
7 was different but yeah I enjoyed it and now we'll see how REMake 2 handles the respin of Resident Evil 2 with various changes and additions.
(Knife durability, zombies being far sturdier, added scenes and probably much more though the demo was datamined pretty quickly so a lot of that is out in the wild already, useful to know for anyone wishing to avoid spoilers.)
EDIT: Course far as spoilers go Capcom themselves have made highlight trailers and other media about almost every single change so far. Core story might be similar but they go in-depth into many of the new additions too.
