Anyone know the deal with Duke? I don't recall him from any prior games, and I couldn't find any lore in RE8 that really lets you know what his deal is.

I didn't find the doll house scary at all, IMO. I guess it's a all a matter of perspective. For me personally, the spider bitch & dad chasing you around the house in RE7 was far more scary.
Citation needed.They toned down the "scariness" for village since people were bothered with it from 7.

I think it's entirely debatable and subjective on which is more "scary" and doubt they would let the intended effect from the previous game influence them to sandbag the same effect on this game.

Over 9 feet with the hat.The lady that keeps walking around. How tall is she? Lmao, her height must be Yao Ming size.
A Quiet Place did not reveal the monsters from the very beginning. Much like Alien we only get quick glimpses of them until the end, as the flash by the screen whenever somebody makes a noise and takes them out. And, no, I do not believe any of the measures you list are objective in nature in determining what defines horror.While yes, horror has a degree of a subjective nature there are objective measures one can use. Time between jump scares, how often the horror is shown v. letting tension build, ambient sounds, background visuals are all key indicators. For example, Alien is a horror movie, the monster is left relatively unknown, shown only in brief snippets and often allowing the tension to build before hand. A quite place on the otherhand reveals the monster right at the start and substitutes proper horror for suspense thriller (which many confuse for horror). Good horror relies heavily on the viewer filling in the gaps, a so called mystery box. Any monster you make will be less fearful than anything my mind creates.
It has been stated they toned down the horror of this game, and the media released definately backs that up. I beleive they did this for accessibility and streamers.

Just finished Village and thought it was pretty good. Had some performance issues until I updated Nvidia drivers which was smooth sailing afterwards.
I'd give it a 8.5/10. Can't wait for the sequel. You know it's going to continue after seeing the ending. Don't want to spoil it for everyone, but it's good.
I never usually buy single player campain's on release date, but just felt like playing this one after beating R.E. 7. and playing this right after.
Survival horror is growing on me. I'm thinking of playing Silent Hill or The Evil Within next. I tried Dead Island 1 & 2 and didn't like it at all.

At this point I'm curious how the RE4 remake is going. They've apparently been working on it for at least a year, but the original game is really damn big. It's way more "modern" than RE2 and 3 were, but it's that's also going to make people break out the torches over any changes to it. Playing Village made me super excited for a 2021 graphical update, though. I wouldn't even mind if they went first person, but I kinda doubt they'll go there after 2 and 3 worked so well.
I wouldn't think they'd go 1st person but they are making RE4 in VR so it wouldn't be too far fetched.
I went to start a play through on village of shadows difficulty but idk if I can do it, can't get past the first Lycan attack. =(
You can apparently cheese that first lycan attack by hiding behind the locked gate door and pressing against it so that enemies can't push it open. It's a timed sequence so eventually (once at least like 5-6 minutes pass), you can spin around and a lycan will grab you and trigger the cutscene. That's probably the single toughest part of the game IMO. It's long, you don't have many resources, enemies just keep coming, and it's tough to hide anywhere for long. Like T4rd mentions above, the Dragoon with unlimited ammo is the best way to approach VoS. It's powerful AF and you don't have to level it up like the other guns. Just win the game once, buy it, and then spend the points for unlimited ammo. I discovered how OP'd that gun is near the end of my Hardcore playthrough.
I’ll give that a try tonight. Guessing that’ll make easy work of things, the unlimited ammo on the launcher is almost useless on that difficulty.
I mainly wanna keep running through the campaign to upgrade the guns, I’m just into that for some reason. Really loving the revolver you unlock that uses sniper bullets.
Hey have any of you used the FOV mod?
Yeah, there's a couple challenges for Mercenaries mode. One is to get all A-ranks on all the Merc levels for one weapon (can't remember which) and to get the light saber I think you have to get S-rank on all the levels. I haven't played them all but got As on the few I've unlocked so far after 3-4 attempts. It's a pretty fun mode; just waves of enemies that you have to dispense of quickly as you move through a small portion of the campaign levels and you also get some interesting power-ups (faster movement, more damage for certain weapons or headshots, combo damage multipliers, more health, etc.) to pickup as well along the way. It's def worth checking out IMO.What's the deal with Mercenaries mode? I didn't touch it, but aren't there some unlockables (like the light saber) tied to it?
Meh, only so much you can buzz about on a single player game unless there's some controversy about it like with CP or TLoU. Seems it lasted about as long as any other AAA game launch news cycle to me and got more attention than ME LE is getting so far despite that series having about as much clout IMO.the buzz for RE8 seems to have died out quick...sounds like a good game but a game that people quickly forget

Has anyone had the bug where HDR is greyed out no matter what you try and do to enable it? It worked fine for the first 2 hours. Very frustrating to say the least
You sure you have fullscreen set and not any windowed mode? Might try toggling to windowed and back to fullscreen if you are already fullscreen.Has anyone had the bug where HDR is greyed out no matter what you try and do to enable it?

yeah fullscreen is enabled, latest drivers, etc. it seems there is no fix and it just happens on random rigs. Just my luck of the draw. smhYou sure you have fullscreen set and not any windowed mode? Might try toggling to windowed and back to fullscreen if you are already fullscreen.
Like I said, it worked for the first 2 hours and it looked gorgeous. Now even with hdr in Windows enabled it doesn't look as good. Don't get me wrong it looks great because of my Oled, just not hdr gorgeous. I might try reinstalling the game just because I'm curious to try and find out what happened..
