Probably my favourite aspect of this game, thank you Netease, no really, I mean it.

I forgot! And the complimentary bot lobby that comes after is chefs kiss

It's been years since RE8 released and i still see people complaining about VoS difficulty. Yes, it's hard, much more harder than RE7 Madhouse. But no, you don't need to be in NG+ with infinite ammo to beat the game :)

I was in bed trying to fall asleep and I get the loudest Xbox notification saying the game is on sale, I’m so happy I can finally get it!!

Bit of a crazy one that still doesn’t feel real. I’m a writer and my first book has been published today. It’s all about action horror games and features interviews with a bunch of iconic names - including the first chapter, with John!

John’s enthusiasm and honesty really sets the tone for some pretty personal stories throughout the rest of the book, which features chapters with Ken Levine, Marc Laidlaw, Maggie Robertson and many others.

It’s a dream come true for me. To round it off, John agreed to write the foreword, in which he says some immensely nice things about my work.

I figured people here might get a kick out of an in-depth, sit down chat with the great man himself. Oh, and the book features a killer jacket designed by comic book artist Ray Dillon.

My first time trying to speed run the game, so far I'm out of Castle Dimitrescu at 39:31, is this on pace for a good run, or could I do better? (I'm on Village of Shadows with NG+ and Infinite ammo)

Reframework worked perfectly fine with re7 and re2 im not sure why its giving me so much trouble in re8/village.I really really loved re7 (it was my first ever re game) and really wanna play re8 and get into the re game series but this mod is running it for me either the it zooms in the game to much or zooms out too much,also when its zooms to out my moment and camera sentivity get fucked. For details im using a 16inch 1600p OLED screen if that helps.Im providing what settings im using and what my image looks like.I would be extremely great full if anyone could help me out and fix my problem thanks !

I saw another post on here asking about what happened to the children of the village. It's making me realize that most people don't seem to have watched the story that got told in the games credits, most people likely skipped it or didn't pay attention as it passed by.

The story follows a family in the village (shown in the picture I included). The mother very suddenly gets sick, coughing up puddles of blood, and dies soon after. The daughter (who is a young kid by the time this happens, the picture I included still shows her as a baby because this was years prior), also gets sick and starts coughing up blood.

The father rushes outside holding her where he finds another man also holding his child, pointing towards the church, which has a line up of families going to it, a portion of them being just one parent with their child.

At the church a plague doctor (obviously Mother Miranda as you can see she's wearing her robes) ejects the children with a syringe, healing them. It then shows Miranda getting all of the fathers to also take an ejection of Cadou, likely saying it's to prevent them from contracting the sickness.

Once back home the daughter sees her father clutching his stomach, and then finds him, turned into a Lycan, feasting on an animal (likely the horse shown in the family picture). The book ends with him spotting her.

My take away from this story is that Miranda somehow set a sickness on the village, mainly targeting the mothers and children. This would make the fathers panic and rush to Miranda for help, where she would cure any of their wives or children that hadn't yet died, and then make the fathers take an ejection of Cadou, telling them it was a vaccine. The fathers would then go home and turn into Lycan's and since their own children were always right there as they first turned, they ended up being their first meals. Thus explaining why there are no children in the game without showing us it actually happening (since children being killed on-screen is a big no-no).

This is also why every survivor we meet in the game is either single or just never had kids. The only parent we meet in the game is Leonardo, who is clutching his stomach when we first meet him and turns shortly after. He is likely the last to turn.

Also note that we know all of this happened in just one day, as the hag (Miranda pretty much flexing her own actions) says that the village only fell into darkness after Miranda came back with Rose, and we also find a note in the red chimney house of a guy saying that Miranda summoned him to the ceremony site, where he saw Rose, meaning that the village was still all normal when Miranda first came back. This also means that during all of this, Ethan had been unconscious just up the hill.
