My apprehension for a streaming service to get the nuances of slow burning Survival Horror ambience and coherent story telling down without pissing all over Shinji Mikami's face was ALSO officially announced today. TALK ABOUT COINKY-DINKS

Expect this dud to get cancelled quicker than a white man touching a woman's tits at work.

Wesker kids????? 
Why is it so hard to just adapt an existing, popular story?

The fact that so many red flags went off from a summary paragraph that used as many vague words as it could is probably all the more that needs to be noted. Wesker kids? Like, even if this was being written by people who take the Biohazard lore seriously enough to build on a plot point that was mentioned like twice in RE5's story, like...
I'M STILL expecting it to be about wizard woke siblings with SCIENCE super powers! and just enough of that phoned in late 90's EDGE to counteract the creeping background noise of Mary Sueing all over the set.
I could be off base, but live action RE, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me seven times? Biggerer shame on you.

No thank you
That being said, I do enjoy the films as cheap horror, they're ok, but no, I'd want a proper series that uses the stories from the games, its not hard, why change it completely? Some elements sure, but the overall narrative needs to remain the same
Jeff is the IC Champion and MAtt is doing great in AEW and was still a meme as far as I know...

Project W
Project W, or the Wesker Plan, was a eugenics project pioneered by Oswell E. Spencer which intended to develop an advanced race of human beings. The project was named after the first director of the project, Dr. Wesker and all successful child candidates are renamed with this surname. This was...

I’m expecting them to ruin it by deviating far from the actual subject matter. Common theme now is, we are out of ideas, so let’s get other ideas and massacre them. Wesker kids????

Resident Evil should be so easy to make.
Just base the first series on the first game.
Do a different mansion and cast, while keeping links vague for the first series, that'd be fine, but keep it tight and focused and small scale 'horror house' kind of stuff, until you find your feet with what works in the translation, and what doesn't.
Doing dumb, unwanted bollocks like 'Wesker Kids' and 'New Raccoon City' is just sending this out to die.

That premise....
When will the Japanese stop bending backwards to Hollywood? Have some respect.
Or not.

Made even worse by them spouting obvious bullshit like "I'm a massive fan of the games!" Obviously you're fuckin' not or you wouldn't be printing this garbage.
How hard would be it be to shorten the in-game timeline a bit, combine RE 1 and RE 2 into a series. Keep the actual cast, keep them looking the same, don't turn Jill into a black trans-man.
Easy.

Boy, with this and Tiny Tom Holland (that's his full name) being cast as Nathan Drake, Hollywood still clearly has no fucking idea how to adapt video games.
Bodes well for that Last Of Us series. Can't wait for the adventures of teenage runaways Joel and Ellie, as they try to survive a deadly fungus, and fall for one another in the process!

Is this real!? This looks like somebody with a keyboard/mouse combo teasing a controller player.

The Witcher is pretty damn good, because it - you know - actually adapts The Witcher. Can't speak to Castlevania as haven't seen it.

This already sounds so... not promising. It's as if the RE brand just wants to make sure any and every kind of live-action adaptation is complete ass. The first film was a guilty pleasure of mine at the time, but man that sequel was poo, and I didn't even bother with the others lmao.

The first season Castlevania was awesome. I think cartoon 'adaptations' can turn out very well. Live action, not so much.

Castlevania starts off well in the first series as it only has a few episodes it is kind of like an experiment or pilot, lower budget but you can see it is a work of passion.
Season 2 starts to show problems, long drawn out random scenes to fill time and felate the ego of the writers who think they are intellectual heavy weights. Woke ideology/pandering starts to show its ugly face. Still watchable with the main storyline but has problems.
Season 3? Complete waste of time. All the problems of Season 2 are amplified by 10. Wokeness is off the charts. Dumpster fire.
The Witcher has only had one season so far. I quite enjoyed it but it seemed to have a massive focus on the female leads with Geralt not getting much focus despite him being the main/title character. Seems the writers want to have a stealth female main character.
I haven't read the books or played the games but there are supposedly tons of woke casting choices for many characters that have annoyed fans. These characters clearly being white in the original books (to the best of my knowledge).
The first episode is probably the best one of the season, kind of shifts tone a lot after that. Special effects are kind of sub par but I've heard they will change studios for the sequel. Apparently Cavil is a huge Witcher fan so I credit him somewhat with putting pressure where he can to try to keep the quality up and the show on track. He really nails Geralt as a character.
I'm somewhat excited for season 2 but dreading how much more the woke/quality issues will be amplified now that the show has turned out popular and they feel they have more freedom to let loose. Cautiously optimistic but expecting the worst deep down.
