While I think its unfair to say it copies everything from RE4 or even a lot of things, it doesnt take much to see theres definitely some inspiration and ideas taken straight from it and theres nothing wrong with that.

For reference- when reviewing a hotly anticipated game there are things you need to cover. Like the games graphics, sound, voice acting, gameplay, and fun factor. If said game is is im a series it is perfectly acceptable to compare and contrast between the different entries to the new one. What is not okay is giving the entire beginning sequence away within the first 2 minutes of the video. Thank God for independent reviewers as Gamebolt actually did a phenomenal job covering RE8 with very minimal spoilers...I would suggest going there right now. As for me, I'm stopping this spoiler fest at 2:30 as I would like some surprises when I pick this up Thursday night.

[@CapsFan]

Resident Evil 4 is among my favorite games ever. It had so much depth to it, and I remember playing the campaign multiple times. Hopefully once you beat the game once, they sell you weapons via the vendor like the Chicago Typewriter with infinite ammo in RE4, or the rocket with infinite ammo (Infinite Launcher). The next play throughs with hidden weapons are great.

[@jankmedia1985]

the "COD" portion is like 30-45 minutes. It's really not that big of a deal and it makes sense considering the story at that point in the game. Village is great. Nothing mind blowing but super polished, plays great, OST is good, story keeps you engaged, etc, etc. Really solid title with lots of replay value, there were a bunch of things I didn't access cause I couldn't figure out how to get back to the West side of the Village. Options mini-boss enemies. Really cool game that manages to retain elements of why the classic RE formula still holds up.

This game was really good, especially- *Spoiler Warning* House Beneviento. In my personal opinion it's hard for a survival horror game to get my heart racing and the part with the giant fetus really got to me, and got my heart pounding. I got a huge "Amnesia" and somewhat "Silent Hill" game vibe from it from the whole experience. The only worst thing about it is that it wasn't longer. It had to be the shortest area in my opinion. Imagine if the house was bigger and you went through many levels. The Fetus obviously represented Rose, imagine if there were other enemies that took form from Ethan's past and personal demons. And since you can't fight back that is what made the experience even better.

I agree with you so much about the movement. It's okay during exploration, but in combat it feels really lacking from not having a melee attack and the blocking function just feels unresponsive. They could have used the circle button for more than just quick turning. That could have been used for dodging, like in so many other games, but it might have been a bit grating in first person, so who knows if it would have improved the combat gameplay.

[@surjay5633]

After watching other reviews, it seems we should temper our expectations. We should know things like it’s a mix of re4 and 7. People who loved the story and feel of 7 may be disappointed. I’m happy as re4 was may fav cuz I prefer action horror as compared to survival horror.

[@haunteddreams7856]

7 was the worst one but its funny how so many people complained about 4-6 being too action yet will hype this game up saying how great it is while still hating on the other action games in the series

[@surjay5633]

@@haunteddreams7856 I personally though 7 was the second best after 4 but I know I’m in the minority there.

[@DoctorGames101a]

I will definitely get this game sometime this summer, when I have the money. Right now, I need to catch up with RE2 remake and RE7.

[@sirnootsalot3468]

Fun fact with the mainline Resident Evil games RE 1-3 were all fixed camera angles, RE 4-6 were all third person and RE 7-8 are in first person and RE 9 is most likely going to be the same as RE 8 so after RE 9 we are most likely going to get a different styled Resident Evil game again

Can someone tell Gamespot that a review doesn’t mean spoil the ENTIRE beginning of the game? Jesus. It added absolutely nothing to the review.

[@crazyworld7944]

The best review for the game. Period. Thanks Gamespot.

[@myenemysenemy1043]

I've still yet to play this one. I've only just got my hands on a ps5, so I'm looking forward to finally checking it out.

[@RacerC45]

Imagine Dimitrescu being a Far Cry villain with her own cult army of followers.

[@Schmoseph]

She wouldn't be out of place, honestly.

[@wildesthog]

Well, you can always pretend this is a FarCry game set in Transylvania... Gameplayvise it's pretty close now.

[@tomsmith6379]

I think she already has her own cult.

[@camposjesus3725]

They'd be praising that ASS

[@darassylmoniakam]

it's basically the same thing with the other lords of RE8, they're terrorizing the ibnhabitants, turning some of them into monsters, we have to fight them one by one when we explore their domains etc

[@ProvidenceMus]

Im happy that this game lean towards RE4 type of gameplay.. Its the only RE besides RE7 ive ever played but it was so enjoyable

[@blursithflow9442]

Only thing I dislike slightly not enough to distract me while playing is the wolves using weapons instead of strictly claws and biting.

[@BloodMoonFT]

Should I buy this? It'll be my first Resident Evil game but idk if I have to play the previous ones.

[@Tulip_bip]

you only really need to know who chris redfield is, and the synopsis of RE7 to understand this game. and luckily when you start the game for the first time, it offers you a synopsis of RE7 incase you havent played it

[@BloodMoonFT]

@@Tulip_bip thanks! I already bought and streamed some of it and the synopsis they ga e was great and I watched the lore of RE7 to understand what’s going on!

[@cloudmane4159]

I am so much more cautious with capcom after re3 remake. Re 7 and res2 remake were...amazing...where did those designers go?

[@ranihalperin8675]

Why the f are you describing the complete opening of the game ??! Very bad job

[@azuregiant9258]

Thanks for the heads up 👍

[@rohambahraee]

GamSpot gave RE 8 a 9 Meanwhile IGN: Here's your 8

[@astrocyborg]

it deserves an 8

[@rohambahraee]

@@astrocyborg Why?

[@Hidden_lvl]

@@astrocyborg Damn didn't know you played it already.

[@astrocyborg]

@@Hidden_lvl I watched the actual review you should try it instead of just going off scores

[@astrocyborg]

@@rohambahraee the action focus is why

[@NateTheToast]

I know there a ton of fans that prefer 3rd person over first. I think 3rd if better for gameplay and first is better for immersion and insensitivity.

[@leifhansen6532]

Really love this game so far my only complaint is a timed survival section towards the beginning that was way harder than the first 5 hours. I had to lower the difficulty then it was just too easy.

[@jamespaul6315]

Do we play as chris at all?

[@J-006]

I feel 9/10 may be pushing our luck here but I LOVE what I'm seeing but I hope we get to play as another character again in this main campaign. Excellent graphics and great work Capcom

[@sawplatinum8447]

It was originally Revelations 3 so no Alex wesker Barry or mention of Jill? Damn capcom really changed it up

[@kaos45]

This review is like my high school papers, long and drawn out.

[@MyWizardboy]

Just skip to the score

[@dylantortosa7678]

Being a father myself, I understand the personal motivation of going to save my daughter, rather than saving the mother of my child who also chopped my hand off with a chainsaw and almost killed me

[@johannabelle]

mia was just being quirky

[@thekillersandvich1150]

that wasn't mia her fault though she was being controlled by eveline

[@darassylmoniakam]

does he really played RE7? she was controlled by Eveline

[@dylantortosa7678]

@@darassylmoniakam Yea I beat RE7 4 times, you can say what ever you want about being controlled but that dosent change the fact that she still physically did that to Ethan. Its like your gf cut off BOTH your arms AND Legs but you forgive her because she was possesed.

[@PDIcomics]

@@dylantortosa7678 Umm.... yeah you should because she’s not to blame. Are you stupid are just playing stupid for attention?

[@farrukhahmedsid]

9 from gamespot! Its a big thing.

[@howisthatgay4275]

Play it on hardcore your first time and it’s the best game ever

In RE7, your run speed feels like a walk speed. In RE8, your walk speed feels like a run speed

Came here after seeing the "8" by IGN.. Well played GS, well played..

[@Havok447]

Just beat this game on my Xbox series x….man I can’t wait to play it again on new game plus!

[@Adog00]

Is this a no spoilers review? Someone tell me pls

[@BlackWestCoast]

Full of it.

[@user-ky9ou5dz9q]

I'm SOOOO happy there's more combat. And have you ever played a resident evil game? The final couple hours is ALWAYS like that. In literally every single game. To say it's shooting is "like call of duty" is ludicrous as well. It's like resident evil 4. I cannot stand the trend of these horror games being walking sims where you're mostly defenseless. Or completely defenseless and can just hide. It was WAYYY too common. I thought res 7 was just okay. But I adore this game.
