What's up, everybody? Welcome to Aijian Game Scoop. I'm your host, Damon Hatfield. Join

me this week, are Sam Claiborne? Hey, it's good to be here. I've seen you all.

From podcast unlocked, Miranda Sanchez here. I see you all. From podcast

Unlocked, Miranda Sanchez returns. I'm back. Surprise. This is way sooner than I thought, and it's a delight. Agreed. Way sooner than I thought too, but also a delight. And we've got a great show for this week. There's, man, lots of games still coming out. I'm still playing pragmatta. I know both Sam and

Rand are both playing Titanium Court.

And a couple of the games, Miranda's playing Windrose. But first, there's this new Resident Evil trailer out today. Not for a new game. It's for the new film from Zach Greger, director of Weapons and Barbarian, which are both very good. And I think this, it's a cool, it's a cool

trailer. And we knew going into it that Craigor is doing his own story. It's not, he wasn't going to like tell the story of Resident Evil 1 or 2 or whatever. It's its own thing, but in universe, in the Resident Evil universe. And a lot of people are pointing out that, you know, what might it seems like a cool horror movie, but I don't see what the resident evilness of it is. I don't know. I think it's an interesting approach. My faith is in Zach Kregor, especially after Barbarian and Weapons. Sam, I know you've seen weapons. Miranda's seen Barbarian, but have you, but not weapons? I have read the synopsis of weapons. My favorite thing and favorite way to consume horror movies is by reading the synopsis and getting a super cut of all the jump scare. So that way when I do go watch the movie, I'm not scared because they just stress me out a lot. Like I just don't handle them very well. So in order to actually enjoy the story, I just kind of spoil it all for myself. That's the only genre I do it for. And I love doing it that way. It's so fun. That's cool. I respect that. This teaser trailer shows us there's a guy who's trying to, he's trying to get into Raccoon City and the events are happening the same day as Resident Evil 2. So it's the day that the outbreak spreads beyond the mansion into Raccoon City. And we see some, you know, there's a giant big bloated monster man in the sewer. There's a multilined thing here that's coming out of the house. And then you see some bodies dropping, which are presumably zombies, you know, throwing themselves out of windows or off rooftops and whatever. And that's kind of it. It's basically a tone piece just to let us know this is coming. But a lot of people are saying, you know, where's, where's Leon? Where's Jill? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, Sam, what's your initial reaction to this? Well, Miriam Webster defines a resident as a person that lives in.

I think that's the only connection to Resident Evil that we're going to get out of this trailer.

But I'm sure there's going to be nods and stuff like that.

But I think that we see more and more that you need to make a superhero movie to make a genre movie.
